Oppo A5 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OPPO A5 Pro - rather a successful experiment

The Chinese company Oppo is looking for new ways to attract buyers in the smartphone market. Thus, an experienced developer decided to give the new mid-price segment a full-fledged moisture protection according to IP69 standards with stunning ergonomics of the case. And even if the manufacturer had to make some compromises to maintain the cost price, the device will definitely find its fan.

The appearance of the device is extremely attractive. All four options for glass panels look stylish, the photo module block is neat and modern, the display with a built-in fingerprint sensor pleases with thin frames around the perimeter. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen is not top-end, but more than good. The FullHD+ resolution will not allow you to see individual pixels, the peak brightness of 1500 nits is enough to view content in direct sunlight. Of course, it could not do without a 120-Hz refresh rate of the picture, as well as natural color rendition. If you want to criticize the exterior, you can do so for the plastic edging, and the AMOLED panel lacks a more effective oleophobic layer.

The technical characteristics include a fresh MediaTek Dimensity 7300 CPU, 8GB/12GB of RAM and a Mali G615-MC2 graphics adapter. The bundle delivers performance at the level of 700 thousand points in the AnTuTu test, so the user will be able to immerse themselves in the most demanding games like Genshin Impact with medium-high graphics settings with great pleasure. Excellent energy efficiency is another plus of the chipset. As a result, the 6000 mAh battery provides impressive autonomy, reaching 10-12 hours of active screen time. Fast wired charging is present (80W), you only need to be near an outlet or a suitable power bank for 30-40 minutes. The permanent memory can be 256 or 512 GB, which cannot be expanded with MicroSD cards.

The situation with photo capabilities is ambiguous. The 2-megapixel depth sensor is installed for beauty, and the 50-megapixel main module of the Omnivision Light Hunter 400 cannot be considered large or technologically advanced. However, hybrid stabilization expands the range of shooting scenarios, high-quality shots are often obtained even in the evening. But they saved on stereo sound, music lovers will not get a headphone output. But the list of advantages is expanded due to contactless payment NFC, support for 5G networks, optimized Android 15, and an infrared port. But the lack of an international version entailed the shortcomings of FDD-LTE B7, due to which 4G networks will not work perfectly in every country. And several untranslated applications are available. However, such shortcomings do not spoil the impression of a current and competitive model.
