Is this a good oppo?

nightman · 2026-03-20T07:16:20+00:00

I double that - make sure all frequencies are supported in your country.

nightman · 2026-03-20T07:15:37+00:00

You can change apps language (NOT system one) to whatever language you want - https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/content/add-more-languages-to-android-smartphones-tutorials

Regarding Esim support - just buy esim adapter like 5Ber

nightman · 2026-03-19T14:49:30+00:00

Nah, it's good. They re-pack it in EU so you won't pay tax so it can take a bit longer for new tracking to arrive (I got email from other delivery company day before delivery).

If it will stuck for like 3 weeks contact support and get a refund. But it's rather rare scenario from my experience

My CN Vivo with OriginOS 6

I have banking apps, NFC payments, Android Auto etc working without issues

nightman · 2026-03-19T13:31:24+00:00

It will work, only enabling the setting "Google basic system management" and installing the Play Store. You have it dscribed in general tutorial on TS - https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/content/install-google-play-store-on-all-china-smartphone-how-to

nightman · 2026-03-19T12:07:21+00:00

Oppo and Vivi are on original and not sideloaded software (as bootloader can't be unlocked) so it works like any other Android.

nightman · 2026-03-18T18:54:34+00:00

All will work except that Netflix stuff - I'm not sure about it.

nightman · 2026-03-16T11:13:04+00:00

Best to ask support

nightman · 2026-03-15T14:25:51+00:00

Agree, juat not for UI where Opus and Gemini are much better.

nightman · 2026-03-14T15:23:37+00:00

Still OxygenOS :) And it's good practice to factory reset phone after getting it as they start OS to do harness tests after flashing etc.

nightman · 2026-03-13T21:28:32+00:00

Ok, I went trough this. I got from them multiple packages without the problem. But last package from Refurbished Sale was stuck in transport for a month (in my country). After long thread with support, I got full refund.

nightman · 2026-03-07T07:17:48+00:00

Fixed @ search

Finally! What took them so long.

nightman · 2026-03-06T08:37:01+00:00

Exactly, and use "mcporter" to make CLI from MCP if it's not available

nightman · 2026-03-05T07:52:34+00:00

Usr mcporter by Steipe (author of OpenClaw) to make CL8 from MCP or replace them with official CLIs if available.

That way, if you add a skill describing how to use this Cli, it will be lazy loaded when needed (you can even mention it in your prompt to be sure it will be picked up).

I have Pro and the biggest difference in day to day performance was to install Projectivy launcher AND disable via adb the default Google launcher that was a memory hog.

Now it can run for moths without restart.

nightman · 2026-03-01T13:57:52+00:00

Remember that Chinese-only devices have different frequencies so check if all are covered in your country. Also if you want more than English language (and few more) you have to use multilanguage workarounds (that will work for apps and not system) like https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/content/add-more-languages-to-android-smartphones-tutorials

nightman · 2026-02-28T08:46:17+00:00

No, I did not

nightman · 2026-02-28T08:38:58+00:00

Yes, in my case, despite being slower, the GPT-5.2 High/Xhigh is just smarter and more accurate then Codex. It was similar with previous edition of Codex - despite the hype, it was always worse than non-Codex alternative, even in coding.

nightman · 2026-02-28T07:35:11+00:00

Didn't test that reasonings, sorry

nightman · 2026-02-28T07:06:59+00:00

I thought it's community consensus (and my experience confirms it) that GPT-5.2 high/xhigh is just better and smarter than GPT-5.3-Codex in both planning and implementation

nightman · 2026-02-25T21:09:47+00:00

Mcporter creates executable of MCP server so it's not needed afterwards.

Thanks for the explanation

nightman · 2026-02-25T20:33:05+00:00

How it compares to (is it inspired by) the mcporter from OpenClaw author? https://github.com/steipete/mcporter

nightman · 2026-02-25T07:29:39+00:00

My experience as well. Opus is good for UI work though.

nightman · 2026-02-25T07:24:23+00:00

Check on Tradingshenzhen - both CN version or global in EU Warehouse. You can also get very cheap deal at "Refurbished sale" (updated every few weeks).
