So my phone decided to update automatically overnight.
Come to find that has lost 5G support for all NZ networks hope this is just an oversight and and not planed obsolescence.

Can anyone give me any idea on how to fix this.

Linux: Hard reset the handset

I have tried that did not work.
Have been on the phone to oppo they are going to look at the problem and potentially have to update the carrier details as it looks like they are missing from the update

Update from oppo
They are well aware of the issue and that requires devices to be sent into the service centre to have them reflashed with the carrier data from New Zealand (quiet screams inside)

 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

@Woofjeb What a joke!! I would be taking it back to place of purchase with POP and asking for a refund!

I'm thinking they want me to send it in because they haven't worked on a fix for it am I guessing as they will just reflash it that to the previous update so I've got warranty until 2022 I might leave it a month and see if they fix it if not. I may follow that up.
but I think Spark will throw it me the we've got the right to try and fix it first but definitely not fit for the purpose given that on the box it says it's a 5G phone

Sorry I edit it because I put the wrong store in
