The OPPO Mirror 3 comes with 4.7-inch IPS LCD display with 1280×720 pixel resolution (331 ppi). The display of the device is good but not so impressive. The screen can be displayed under the sunlight, also the viewing angles of the device is good. The screen id protected by corning gorilla glass 3 protection.

The OPPO Mirror 3 has dual-SIM card slot with 3G connectivity. Other connectivity option than these are OTG, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS.
Camera:
The rear camera is of 8-meagpixel with f/2.0 aperture and 5P lens. The performance of the camera is really impressive. It shoots good images in daylight as well as in log light mode. The image captured contains a good amount of detail and colour reproduction. We really impressed by the low light performance of the camera.
The front camera is of 5-megapixel for selfies and is capable of taking good selfies.
Performance:
The benchmark performance of the device in AnTuTu and Quadrant Standard are 20223 and 11493, which is good with the given specs.
The device shows a descent performance and we didn’t find any type of lag on simple use. If you do high multitasking on the device then it will give a pop up of clean memory regularly.
Games like Subway Surfer and Candy Crush works good but high end games like Asphalt 8 lags a lot.
The battery performance of the device is good and lasted for 10-11 hours with regular use, if you are a simple user it will run a whole day without charging. The performance is really impressive with the 2000mAh battery.
The call quality of the device acceptable, but we find some call drop in it. The sound and video performance of the device is also good.
Gizmo Verdict:
If you just want a good camera smartphone under 20K it’s a good choice for you. But if you want more than just camera you could have better options than these in the market.
