I've had Oppo Find x6 Pro and I was very nervous about potential signal issues, g-pay, 5G....I can confirm first hand what works and does not work in Slovenia (probably the same goes for Find x7 ultra which I hope to get tomorrow):
- google pay works
- 5G works
- band 20 (4G outside cities) works...overall NO signal issues
- all banking apps work normally
- company portal works
- Xiaomi watch (and probably also Oppo watch and other Chinese watches) works normally and can be connected and used for NFC payments etc...without any issues

What does not work:
- android audo
- ''hey google''
- can not connect Samsung watch

13 years being a Samsung customer I left on 24 ultra. Before returning it I grabbed myself a OnePlus 12. The UI on OnePlus 12 took a bit of learning but much, much better than Samsung. More refreshed. And what made me completely leave Samsung was that my older s22 ultra at times was taking better pictures than s24 ultra until I start comparing them to OnePlus 12 (Samsung over saturation and over sharpening, almost cartoonish pictures)...Once I saw the differences on the bigger screen that day I requested a refund from Samsung. And I saved around $700 Canadian.

Samsung must respect their consumers by working on their design, putting in a charger and a case, fast charging, any device in 2024 below 80W is unusable, unnecessary gimmicks in the one UI, extremely high price for nothing special

Brilliant and helpful review, I'm actually leaning towards the Vivo X100 Pro but I've heard theirs an ultra or plus model coming out. A review between the Oppo X7 and VIVO would be interesting 🤔

[MartyJones]

Picked up this phone after watching yours and other reviewers videos and I'm definitely happy that I did! Early days but it's the best phone I've ever used, camera is amazing, battery lasts me well over a day even with a decent amount of use and it's absolutely rapid to use....it's a beast basically! Certainly was worth the upgrade from my pixel 6 pro!

You do realize that the titanium used is minimal. Like a coating on the edge and not the entire frame. It's more of a sales gimmick than anything else.

[Dajlec]

Titanium has been shown by mrwhostheboss to scratch just as easily as stainless steel or aluminium because the coating itself get's scratched which leaves micro-flet surface which makes the light reflect differently and it is very obvious. Stainless steel has another problem...it is really really prone to surface scrateches, so I always go for the mat finish titanium or aluminium...neves SS.

So just an update if you care which I don't blame you for not 😅 but I ordered the Find X7 Ultra last night. The 512gb black version and I should be getting it in about 3 weeks.
I don't care about it being a Chinese exclusive because I don't use Android auto and it won't be my primary phone anyway. That goes to my S24U
Mainly I'm getting it for the cameras, so as long as I can download Messenger, X, and Threads it's worth it to me.

Great video Mike, are you going to review the OnePlus Ace 3 that just came out?

[larsseveridt]

Good made video. But I guess there will be a global version, as some day ago Oppo got an agreement with Nokia.

[Yos]

The fact that it isn't available in the UK just makes it even cooler to own in my opinion!

[hector]

I really really like this Ultra but since it's only in the Chinese ROM, do you constant Chinese notifications like from their app store? If so can it be disabled? That's the issue I had with my Vivo X90 Pro Plus. It was so annoying. Looking to get the global X100 Pro but man this Ultra is a beast!

[andrewdhome]

Great vid as ever - and excellent to set out the risks of importing in such detail. Two additional points - one good, one potentially bad.
On the subject of bands, there are plenty of websites which set out which bands a carrier uses and other sites which give the bands each phone model supports. All people need to do is compare if they're thinking of buying.
The bad? At the moment you may not have to pay import fees. I wonder how long that will last. If customs do a check, you might get hit with a hefty bill.

[Helghast]

I love the look of the FX7 but, I’m waiting for my 24 Ultra now.
Great review and honest thoughts on the phone though 👊

[nickevans]

I've got the S24 ultra it's colours are washed out not as saturated or vibrant as my old S21 Ultra? Samsung are aware of this issue and will issue a software update hopefully to fix it? Watching YouTube videos especially 4K hdr videos you clearly see the S24 Ultra colours aren't as saturated as S21 Ultra its not as bright, this is really noticeable when you do a side by side comparison please look into this for your S24 Ultra review many thanks

Eagerly awaiting this review before making a decision between oppo x7U/1+12/Nubia Z60

[bengoey]

Correct me if I am wrong, Aluminium is lighter than Titanium, however Titanium is lighter than Stainless Steel.

[remykamermans]

Hard to hold off to a vivo x100 pro + or the mi 14 ultra. The oppo looks great and checks all my boxes..

[ijnozwu-]

That price is really tempting, as I typically pay almost double for similar spec Samsung. But that watch sinching issue....what is the deal? Can you sync a Samsung or Garmin watch somehow?

[SweUnicorn]

Is the problems with the watches the wear OS? I have a Garmin watch, might that work then?
I'm close to ordering this and I WILL use your link to do it when/if I do! Love the content!
