Add this minor detail to the list of everything you'll need when making the switch from Oppo to Samsung, just for safety's sake!
With increasing trend nowadays, many people are switching brands into Samsung mobile phones. Those who switched were mostly Oppo users-they complained about the poor software support and the camera performance of the devices, besides looking for better user experience overall. Yet, Samsung is indeed a trustworthy brand, but just to let you know, this is an important design detail about a phone that would save you from further dilemmas. Not just that; read through the piece to extract some worth knowing before deciding.
1. Curved vs Flat Display of Oppo amd Samsung
The Major Difference Happens
Most of the oppo models, particularly the Reno family, have a design with a curved-edge. This particular design may look beautiful but is unfortunate for most of the new Samsung models, since they are more inclined towards flat display ones like the Galaxy A series or many of its derivatives from S series.
Most of the flat displays are comfortable to be held and really easy to operate with screen protector, but, slowly altering the experience with premium looks and edge lighting effects from curved screens, people are changing their habits.
2. Unlike no Other Camera Bump Design
Most Oppo phones adopt this ''flat and sleek'' camera island design, but for the new Samsung's, their physical disposition shows that there is a module protruding with a separate lens protruding as a camera island.
Even if such design is supposed to be unique, aesthetically, it might wobble a little when placed on a table. So, probably, a case should be a necessary buy.
3. Difference in position of Power and volume buttons
Switch On a Samsung, and you will find the buttons higher when compared to other phones like Oppo. This may not be the most comfortable thing for people like you who often pick up the phone with one hand during the first few days that they transit to Samsung.
With time, though, it would make a natural habit.
4. Design of UI and icon style
Another point through which layouts differ is user interfaces. ColorOS from Oppo is indeed very colorful and heavy with animation. Unlike it, Samsung's UI is more modest, clean, and designed towards one-handed use.
So if you like a UI that's more colorful, One UI would be drab at first. But, it's sure more stable and easy on the battery long run.
5. Phone Weight and Build Quality
Indeed, more so than any other manufacturer, Oppo takes the extra mile to create very light and slim designs. But the Samsung phones tend to be slightly heavier given that they sport bigger batteries, strong build plus better protection.
It may be heavier than what a user is accustomed to at first.
Conclusion
Actually, it is commendable to have changed from Oppo to Samsung, though it is important to know some design intricacies that will manage one's expectations so that the entire experience of the new creation is smooth. That was one design that would surely be able to fit your needs.
