Reviews for the Oppo K3

80% Oppo K3 Review: Reminds one of Realme X, but how does it differ?
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
Both the Oppo K3 and the Realme X are similar phones with a few differences here and there. Still, I found the Oppo K3 to be a really good performer under Rs 20,000. The device has good performance, battery and cameras. My major cons were the low-light performance, which is still an issue for phones in this segment. If your budget is under Rs 20,000, Oppo K3 can easily be considered given what it offers.

70% Oppo K3 review: A modest attempt
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
Oppo K3 is a fairly good effort by the smartphone maker in a segment that is highly competitive. The performance of the handset is flawless sans few ColorOS elements that we wish Oppo will improve upon in future. Those who love shooting images, they are likely to find the device valuable. But more than that, the battery is what can be called as the major plus point for the device. Although the K3 is a powerful device in general, there still remains a lot to be covered by the company in general to make its devices really competitive in the segment, which for now is dominated by the likes of Xiaomi.

85% Oppo K3 review: Reno-like design meets Realme X-like performance
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
If you read through the whole review of the Opp K3, you would have noticed the number of times we mentioned the Realme X. This is because the K3 is largely similar to the Realme X in most cases. We loved the Realme X and called it one of the best phones under Rs 20,000 right now. Naturally, this also means the Oppo K3 comes close to that benchmark. It gets an attractive design combines with great Super AMOLED display, a powerful Snapdragon 710 chipset and VOOC 3.0 fast charging. Bonus features include a snappy in-display fingerprint sensor and up to 8GB of RAM.

90% Oppo K3 Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The Oppo K3 has enough merit to make it a decent all-rounder, however, Oppo couldn't have picked a worse time to launch this phone. The 64GB model that we have is priced exactly the same as the base variant of the Realme X (Review), which has 128GB of storage. On the other hand, there's 6GB RAM on the Oppo K3, compared to 4GB on the Realme X. The cameras are also slightly different, and from our experience, the Oppo K3 comes quite close to matching the camera performance of the Realme X. There's no doubt that both these phones are going to eat into each other's sales, as they are very similar.

OPPO K3 Review: The Best Mid-Range Budget Smartphone of 2019
Source: Igeekphone English Archive.org version
Since the beginning of this year, the mobile phone market has once again entered the price war, and various cost-effective models have emerged one after another. The OPPO K3 which is called “hardcore teenager”, has set off the banner of OPPO mobile phone price/performance ratio. In ColorOS 6, ultra clear night scene 2.0, VOOC 3.0, true full screen, compensated projection scheme screen fingerprint, and other support, OPPO K3 is very competitive in Mid-Range products.

6.50":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

81.25%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
