What we like about Oppo A5 5G (4GB + 128GB)

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting well over a day, which is a major highlight for users.
  • Great value for an entry-level 5G phone, with an affordable price point that undercuts many rivals.
  • Durable build quality featuring IP65 water and dust resistance and Military-Grade Shock Resistance, which is uncommon for its price range.
  • Decent, consistent performance for basic everyday tasks like web browsing, social media, and video streaming.
  • The display offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and good outdoor brightness of up to 1000 nits.
  • Runs on a clean and customizable ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, with a promise of three years of OS updates and six years of security updates.
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage via a microSD card slot, which are valued additions.
  • Supports 45W fast charging, allowing for quick top-ups (though the charger may not always be included in the box).
  • A sleek and attractive design, particularly the Aurora Green model, which is resistant to fingerprints.

What we don't like about Oppo A5 5G (4GB + 128GB)

  • Sub-standard 720p (HD+) display resolution, which reviewers note looks fuzzy and lacks sharpness compared to 1080p rivals.
  • Camera performance is bare-bones and lacks versatility; photos in low light are noisy and lack detail, and video recording lacks stabilization.
  • Performance is adequate but can be sluggish with multitasking or heavier apps/games like *Genshin Impact*.
  • Comes with a significant amount of pre-installed bloatware (games and third-party apps).
  • Features only a weedy, bottom-firing mono speaker, which lacks a sense of spaciousness.
  • The charger is not always included in the box, despite the phone supporting 45W fast charging.
  • The large display bezels, especially the chin, make the phone look and feel cheap.
  • Haptics are weak and buzzy.

Verdict

The Oppo A5 5G is an entry-level smartphone featuring a large 6.67-inch 120Hz IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage (expandable via microSD). The main characteristics and pros are its exceptional durability with an IP65 water and dust resistance rating and MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance certification, a massive 6000mAh battery offering multi-day usage, and support for 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging. The primary rear camera is 50MP, complemented by a 2MP depth sensor, with an 8MP front camera. Cons include the display's low 720p resolution (which is not very sharp), a single, non-stereo speaker, mediocre camera performance in low light and a lack of an ultrawide lens, significant pre-installed bloatware, and the absence of a charger in the box in some markets.
