Our Verdict:
This is still a new phone from a new brand. So we can’t tell for sure how good is their product or this Note 3 in particular. A taste of the phone for a thorough review would have been a better means to convince buyers.
Hopefully, the company will provide a unit for that. But for now, the phone looks cool on paper. The design is okay just that it’s not that flashy nor classic. Over to you, what do you think about this new phone from Opay?
