I am making plans to take them to court soon..

I will also include the pointex phone retail mall at ShopRite ikeja and Oppo as defendants .. this is open day 419 and robbery by big tech. They have my phone numbers ,I have already previously taken it up with them..

makeitijn:


GOOD QUESTION.. nothing is written on the carton. They try to conceal and deceive to the uttermost.. complete disinformation campaign to coerse both the wise and ignorant

Na the matter be that ..

They even sent the real Reno 8 with DIMENSITY 1300 to vloggers to push on their YouTube channels , but when it was time to sell to Nigerians , they brought in the knocked down version with the Snapdragon 680 chipset

Incredible128:
I don't think it's about the store, it's Oppo themselves that sent a watered down version to Africa

Miracood2:


But why the cheating on Nigerians? What's all this FFS?

These people don't rate us at all.

Sharaaaap there Scammer.

The STORES knows very much about It and they are aware of thw development.

This Is how 90% of "Nigeria Indigenous Wealthy/Rich People Makes Their Fortune" down to the average Nigerians.

It's an Open Secret. Thieves everywhere.

Yes my elder brother works in a computer village. If you go there to work, you'll see a lot of secrets

Udemzy05:


Well it can be done, a technician with the right tool will do it but it doesn't make sense changing the chipset of a working phone, especially a brand-new phone just to downgrade it.

Evolutionlove:


No you can't swap a phone Chipset. It Is embedded to the motherboard. Any attempt to tamper with It, You can kiss the phone Goodbye till eternity.

Well for all I know, oppo Phones are doing well internationally.

Buying an oppo abroad in Europe or South america or Asia is a goal.

The Nigeria versions are like toy gadgets..

A guy earlier wrote on this thread of buying his oppo from Singapore..

The Chinese marketers who sell oppo in Nigeria are clone merchants.. They are only sell in an oppo look alike and not the real oppo

Meister:


Oga OPPO is officially in Nigeria and they're the ones selling those phones and they have official partners like pointek and slot, you can literally see them in their oppo nigeria website

Chaos14:
Never trust a vendor. this same vendors sometimes change the charging points to weaker ones so they can put it in other phones. This retailer do the fix phones or sell parts

OurBusinessIsPr:

Nope you got it wrong..

Now most of the addidas and Nike you see in Nigeria (as original) are actually cloned..

Same applies to the oppo Phones in Nigeria

Morphinne:

Are you insinuating that the vendors were the ones who changed the dimensity 1300 processor to an SD 680?

I always wonder why ppl waste their monies on these Oppo products. I’ve known from day one that Oppo phones are expensive craps. A plastic Oppo phone with an LCD screen and a regular chipset would be selling higher than other Chinese phones in the same spec range and even than those sporting better screens and chipsets. Maybe Oppo think people are buying IPhones and Samsung phones mainly because they are expensive. iPhones and Samsung are expensive but can we say they build their phones using cheap hardwares? (screen, materials and processors) ; the answer is an emphatic no. 280k for a piece of plastic SD 680 phone ;the same processor powering 150k realme and Redmi phones

garugaru:
i do not think the op asked the right questions when he was buying the phone, oppo's naming scheme is pretty confusing and it is probably intentional. the op should have made sure that the rep confirmed the chipset on the phone before buying. the op probably just googled the phone and made his order based on that information which is obviously wrong. the phone the op wants is called oppo reno 8 5g, the phone he bought is oppo reno 8, most websites call the phone oppo reno 8 but display the spec of oppo reno 8 5g. technically it is no oppo's fault that he ordered the wrong phone but in a sane society he should be able to return the phone, i guess our society isn't a sane one.
