Hey fam, here we bring you the Oppo A5 2020 which is out of a box deal. How?

Design:

The Oppo A5 2020 is a well-dressed smartphone under-budgeted segment. The phone has four rear cameras and a big screen that looks expensive.

I think it is a classy piece whose curved glass is visually appealing. The quad back camera is fine. The positioning and the quality of the phone are satisfying though.

However, you might have heard that Oppo A5 2020 is plasticky. It has a Gorilla glass in front, and the back is an imposter. When you use Oppo A5 2020, it fades the illusion of the price.

Well, there’s a lot to know about A5. The buttons are metal, and you get a protective box, that’s good. The headphone jack and speakers are top-notch. It has drivers at the above and bottom for sound and a few punch units. They are loud and deliver robust sounding effects.

Screen and Display:

The screen of the Oppo A5 is a show-stealer. No wonder why it is so successful. It has a big 6.5-inch screen that is clear and concise with an ultra-tall 20:9 aspect ratio. It is similar to Sony Xperia 10. It has a lot of icons teardrop notch is pleasant as well.

It is perfect for your binge watches on Netflix and Amazon. You will love your gaming sessions with some limitations, there is so much for you.

It has only a 720p screen with 1600*720pixels, which is a bit turned off. However, Netflix is still fantastic. Color is not that rich, and you can control the color temperature. A slider lets you choose the warm and cool modes.

Camera:

The camera may be a primary issue with the Oppo A5 2020. Mainly, if you are a selfie lover. It is not that it is not performing well but it looks better on paper.

You get four rear cameras at the back with two different lenses. These are standard and wide with no zoom.

The two bonus cameras have weak 2 MP sensors. You need to search a lot for the benefits of the other two cameras. One good feature is the monochrome camera and B&W modes.

The Oppo A5 2020 has two cameras, a 12MP standard camera, and 8MP wide camera. Like this segment phones, it is a day phone that shots well in the daytime. At night shots look softer. Oppo has a dedicated night mode which brightens up the scenes at night.

The Oppo A5 2020 can shoot video up to 4K resolution with a standard 30 frames per second. We recommend you go with 1080p.

Software:

The Oppo A5 2020 runs on Android 9 and ColorOS 6 interface that is not new. My experience with ColorOS is, they are stiff and sharp because of their sharp icons.

It is not much onlooker. I am pretty okay according to the price I pay. The Smart home Assistant home screen is well-curated across the edges. You can quickly check the step counts and notifications.

Performance:

The Oppo A5 is the little brother of Oppo A9 2020.

It uses the same CPU and 665 Snapdragon processor.

It is an eight-core processor with four Kryo 260 Gold cores and four 260 Silver Kryo.

It has 3 GB RAM.

The performance is quite good. There is no grating lag as you pay what you get.

Gaming is limited. You can play games with low graphics settings. Games like PUBG and Survival Evolved run only on low graphic modes.

Battery Life:

The above issues do not ruin the phone and the reason is the long-performing battery. It goes two days straight without charging when you play games or watch movies back to back.

A bit bad here is the slow charging mode. You get a 10W standard charger when plugged in charges like a sloth.

Should you Buy The Oppo A5 2020 this year?

It is a nice budgeted phone as compared to Motorola Moto G Line. Four cameras are catchy, and the speakers are the highlight.

The processor of Oppo A5 2020 performs well, and you get a good gaming experience in this range. So, for me, it is a yes! However, we leave it to you.
