First of all, the Ymobile model OPPO refers to OPPO smartphones sold via Y!mobile.
However, the terminals sold by Y!mobile are made specifically for Y!mobile users, perhaps due to the intention of the mobile phone company, and some specification changes have been made as described later. It is made equivalent to the so-called "carrier version".

The first difference between the Ymobile model and the regular OPPO terminal is the number of pre-installed apps.
The SIM-free version of OPPO is initially equipped with Oppo genuine apps and Google apps, but the Ymobile version includes apps from Yahoo!, Y!mobile, and SoftBank in addition to them. is characterized by
Some apps can be uninstalled if they are not needed, but some apps such as Yahoo! apps and Y!mobile mail apps cannot be deleted.
You can see that it is based on the premise of using Y!mobile users and Yahoo! related services.
Also, as an inconspicuous point, the settings are usually different from OPPO smartphones.
For example, the navigation button, OPPO terminals other than the Ymobile version have the back button on the right side, but the Y!mobile model has the back key on the left.
In addition, OPPO's default home screen setting displays all the apps installed on the smartphone on the home screen, but in the Ymobile version, the home screen and the app list screen are independent. The drawer method that is used is adopted as the standard setting.
However, all of these can be changed in the settings to comply with OPPO standards.
In addition, the "Software Update" screen in the Settings app has been changed from ColorOS (OPPO)'s own to something closer to the Android OS standard UI (interface), which is a hidden difference. prize.
Next is the difference in terms of hardware. First, all SIM-free models of OPPO smartphones sold in Japan are products that support dual SIM.
However, the number of SIM cards that can be used with the Ymobile version is limited to one, and the part where the second SIM card tray is originally attached is a special corner for micro SD cards.
For this reason, the Y!mobile model OPPO cannot be used with more than one SIM card.
Also, in the Ymobile version of OPPO Reno5 A, which supports the digital SIM "eSIM", the eSIM setting item itself has been removed.
eSIM is one of the distinctive features of OPPO Reno5 A, and it was the first time for the OPPO Reno A series to support it, but it is said that it is not the Ymobile version.
In addition, if the SIM card is removed and inserted while the power is on, the device will automatically restart.
For consumers, the price, which is one of the major indicators when purchasing a smartphone, rises, but one of the features of the Ymobile model OPPO is that it is cheaper than the SIM-free version.
For example, the open market version of OPPO Reno5 A was released at a list price of 43,800 yen, but the Reno5 A released on Ymobile was initially 39,600 yen, and the price difference is about 4,200 yen. .
In addition, it is not uncommon to have the opportunity to get it at a price below 20,000 yen due to the sale currently being carried out by Ymobile.
As a result of this, on "Mercari" etc., OPPO Reno5 A, which is exhibited as a new product, can be purchased for around 24,000 yen. In many markets, it is more affordable and easier to obtain than the SIM-free version.
There is a difference in the Ymobile version mentioned above, and it is priced like this.
If you are considering purchasing it, even if there are differences in specifications compared to the SIM-free version as mentioned above, if the price is superior to the functions, etc., it is a strong candidate as an option. It seems to be
