FYI: VPNs don't work over multiple profiles in Android
I actually ran into this a while ago and thought it'd be interesting to share for those who didn't realize this and may want to know for privacy reasons or whatever.
If you have multiple profiles on your phone, i.e. your main profile and a work profile, and if you connect to a VPN, your traffic will go through the VPN on that particular profile but the traffic in the other won't.

I personally think that it is a pretty solid move for affordable users because they will have a bunch of options within their budgets. I do like the integrated features in the recently announced Oppo A12 as well as Oppo A12s - and I think as long as they don't decide on an exorbitant price aspect - their consumers will be p...
