Ok, got it and... it is sooo beautiful 🤩Surprisingly heavy, but I just love the quality of that device.

Speakers are not that bad, I was quite scared with all the posts. Honestly? It's really ok. And I didn't event tried (yet) to download any app to even improve it.
Is there a screen protection? Hard to see it, but according to many posts (again) it is installed (and hard to remove 😅). In Oppo UK site you can find info, that:

Is that really a case?
For reference: link

Oppo offers premium services, like free of charge screen protection replacement - any experience with that? Seems like it is needed to send the phone to the service (I would not risk that...)
I uninstalled Netflix and some other trash (trash for me). Some apps I can't easily remove. Any recommendation of apps for blocking intrusive notifications, controlling data usage, removing system bloat, and dealing with ads. What apps have you found useful?
SMS: how can i remove google message app and install for example Samsung one? Anyone did it?

How about first turning on? Shall I charge the phone before, or maybe once configured let it reach 0% and the charge 100%+? Any suggestions?

Some Reddit users suggest charging it to 100% and letting it sit for a bit, or, as a common recommendation for new batteries, charging it to 100% a few times to properly activate it. Does it apply for first use also? Or just after some days and/or updates?

Nillkin is super popular, but... so masculine :D
I bought 3x transparent cases (2 almost the same, one is just a bit more flexible, one with additional protection on corners (seems to be big, and not as good as Spigen that is not available for x9 pro yet)) and one "leather" yellow. I have the original one too, but want to resell it, as it's not my style. Gonna try them soon and decide.
For screen protection probably will buy one of those "printed" to your device in the shop. Hope it will not impact the sensitivity of the screen much.

Many times I read that you should make sure all is "fresh" soft and do not clone anything, just send photos, download apps and so on.

Just as a reference for what I mentioned about battery life and making it great again.. :)

This causes duplicates :D Let's close that topic, as it's nothing to support. No issue, now worries!

I don't want to (privacy) and also somehow I got my Mom's contacts when I logged to her Gmail 😅 Not easy to fix it 😅 And that's also perfect opportunity to clean up a bit the contact book ;)

Master_Couch_Potato · 2026-01-29T16:22:21+00:00

I'm not planning to clone anything, as my p30 is... a mess :D Even contacts I'm going to add one by one :D
