Oppo A5

Oppo A5 Review

Oppo A5 has the elegant, modern notch design (although some may still not prefer the notch). The display is big, the weight is light and the device is pretty slim. You may wonder why couldn't we give a "very good" mark (above 80%) to its design? Well, the reason is the plastic body. We have decided to cut off some marks in both design and features fact for plastic body phone. Plastic has a highly negative effect on our environment, water, sea and to the life on earth. So rethink before throwing away your phone after using it for a few months.

However, Oppo A5 is giving 4 GB RAM in around 20k price which is highly competitive and attractive for the low-mid range consumers. But the Snapdragon 450 chipset is not the performance master. A Snapdragon 600 series chipset could make this smartphone much interesting to the consumers. There is Adreno 506 GPU and 1.8 GHz octa-core CPU. It means altogether lag-free experience for regular games. But you may have slightly lag feeling in resource-intensive games like Asphalt 8. Especially, if you install a lot of apps and let them run in your background. 8 MP front camera is decent but not competitive for the price in any mean. It is a big disadvantage of this phone. The dual primary camera is worth the price. There is no fingerprint, but it has face unlock. The display is HD+ which is another con. A full HD+ display is a fair expectation for the price. Among the advantages, there is definitely the 4230 mAh big battery.
