“Take a stand”, or so the saying goes. At IFA 2020, Huawei has taken the expression to the literal extreme. The Chinese giant was one of the only major mobile manufacturers to be physically present with a booth/stand at the technology fair that is currently happening in Berlin. This is certainly a novel way to ensure that your presence is known in Europe, even though there are no new products lined up for announcements that will wow the masses.

My Xiaomi Mi Air 13 accompanied me through my tertiary student life, followed by my voluntary service, and finally followed me in my freelance work – enabling me to have a positive attitude towards technology imports from China. Interest in foreign technology is so great in that dealers often offer express shipping lines and extended support for such incoming hardware. Purchasing devices such as the Honor 30 Pro+ in Europe or North America is therefore possible with a little bit of legwork and living with a few compromises. This review shows whether this smartphone is convincing enough to pick up even after having to go through a relatively long delivery time. A 90 Hz refresh rate for its display, a 5G capable Kirin 990 chipset, and the Periscope Camera with 5x optical zoom look promising at first glance.

Oppo wants to establish itself as a premium device manufacturer that places high quality above an affordable possible range. However, this has not stopped the company from positioning itself with products that are available for reasonable prices.

On paper, this sounds as though it is “balanced and fairly priced”, with plenty of can-do attitude. How does the Oppo Enco W31 perform in real life? You can find out in this review.
