Oppo A15s Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oppo A15s - too budget smartphone

The range of Android smartphones of the Chinese company Oppo is expanding at a rapid pace, but with such a huge number of new products, it is really difficult to create extremely relevant and successful products. So, the hero of today's review was created rather to fill the lineup, because the developer has significantly saved on most of its parameters.

One of the strengths of the phone is its design. The strict colors of the rear panels (with the exception of the pale blue version) with the modern design of the triple camera and a neat fingerprint scanner, not the widest display frames make the exterior beautiful, although not particularly memorable. The case is made of polycarbonate, which is common in the low-mid-price segment. The 6.52-inch OGS screen has no air gap between the sensor and the glass, which has a positive effect on both the brightness and contrast of the picture, and its visibility in direct sunlight. However, to save money, as well as improve performance and autonomy, the manufacturer decided to lower the resolution of the IPS-screen to 1600 x 720 pixels. It is only a stretch to call the displayed image clear.

The technical specifications are aimed at energy efficiency and smooth functioning of only the Android Q interface and not very resource-intensive gaming applications. Demanding games will slow down even with minimal graphics settings. But the Mediatek Helio P35 processor , 4GB of RAM and the PowerVR GE8320 video adapter help to get about a dozen hours of active screen time from a 4230mAh battery. Charges the battery from 0 to 100% in about an hour and a half. The volume of internal storage is represented by immodest 64GB of ROM . If this space is not enough to store your movie and music collections, you can always use MicroSD cards .

The photographic capabilities of the main 13 and 2-megapixel (pair of photosensors) photo modules are not great. They manage daytime shooting with good detail and natural colors, but the slightest deterioration in lighting will fill the photos with noise. The 5MP selfie camera deserves roughly the same description. There are no contactless payments, fans of the NFC function will be disappointed with this fact. As a result, the device is deprived of any serious competitive advantages and has many equally interesting alternatives on the market.
