Item: OPPO Reno 10 Pro+ 12+256GB Glossy Purple (Global Version)
Contract/Cash: Sent to me straight from OPPO
Age: 1 week, but has been used for a max of 8h since I just used it in one YouTube Review Video on my YouTube Channel
Price: R9,000
Payment Method Accepted: GeoPay on Delivery or EFT
Warranty: Yes, but not local
Warranty Holder: OPPO
Packaging: Full - Box, Charger, Case, etc.
Condition: Perfect, as new as new gets. It's literally been opened, tested and put back in the box.
Issue: So this is literally a brand new phone, but for some reason when showing a black screen, you can see faint blue rectangular pixels. I spoke to OPPO about it and they said that they sent me a pre-released version of the device so this is possibly a defect in production. The phone itself is perfectly mint and there are no other issues. This screen defect does not affect the device at all and is literally barely noticeable on a black screen, and not noticeable at all when not displaying a full black screen. On a positive note, this is literally a flagship phone for an unbeatable price. Using the current exchange rate, I should be selling this for at least R15,000. The Reno 8 Pro, which is a very budget phone, is selling on Takealot for R21,000 so this is an absolute steal. I am selling it for R9,000 due to the screen issues, and am not willing to go any lower. I have shaved 6K off due to this defect which I feel is more than fair since it is still a brand new, open box phone.
Location: Fourways, JHB
Reason: I am SA's largest Tech YouTuber. When I'm done reviewing and testing phones I sell them
Shipping: Sure, if payment comes first
Collection: Even better
My Full Review YouTube Link:

Just a quick understanding: I am a tech YouTuber (TechNick - https://www.youtube.com/c/TechNickChannel). I have lived in China for the past 5 years and finally moved back home. I have connections with over 10 smartphone brands and get sent phones to review and test. Some phones I receive, I review for a single day and then sell, for other phones, I review them and then hang on to them for a few months to compare to other phones (I usually keep flagships for longer) but every single phone other than my personal phone, I review, test and thats it. Between each video they just sit in their boxes so each phone I sell is as new as new gets, they have never been used personally by anyone and have just been used when in a few of my videos
 
UPDATE - I’ve been speaking to OPPO and they said it’s a software issue. They are working on sorting it out for me and I’ll update this thread once I know more. If they push me an OTA update and the issue is resolved then I’ll recreate this post with an updated price since then it won’t have any issues and will be in perfect working condition.
 
UPDATE 2 - OPPO have just informed me that the unit was shipped with "trial version" software and will get a full OTA update just before the official global launch in a few weeks (yes, this phone hasn't gone on sale in the global market yet). They also told me that the "screen" issue is directly related to the trial software. So I will update this thread once I receive the update and repost this thread after all is sorted.
