Third-party reviews

What we like about Oppo A5i Pro 5G (4GB + 128GB)

  • Extremely long battery life, often lasting a day and a half to two days with moderate use.
  • Excellent durability with IP68/IP69 water resistance and MIL-STD 810H military-grade shock resistance certification, which is rare for its price point.
  • Generous software support, with promises of five years of OS upgrades and six years of security updates.
  • Large amount of storage (256GB) for the price, which is expandable via microSD.
  • Stylish, slim, and ergonomic design that feels premium and comfortable in hand.
  • Good performance for everyday tasks and casual use, with a smooth and customizable software experience (ColorOS).
  • Decent photo quality in well-lit, daylight conditions with the 50MP main camera.
  • Fast 45W wired charging capabilities (though the charger may need to be purchased separately in some regions).
  • Features a 120Hz display refresh rate for smoother visuals.
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and NFC support.
  • Supports 5G connectivity for faster internet speeds.

What we don't like about Oppo A5i Pro 5G (4GB + 128GB)

  • Poor camera performance in low-light and dim environments, resulting in grainy or unusable photos.
  • Low display resolution (720p+) for its 6.67-inch size, which may not appear as sharp as competitors.
  • Performance can be inconsistent or sluggish during demanding tasks, such as high-end mobile gaming.
  • Comes with a noticeable amount of pre-installed bloatware apps out of the box.
  • Lacks an ultra-wide or macro camera lens, limiting photo versatility.
  • Charger is not always included in the box, and a proprietary OPPO charger is needed for fast charging speeds.
  • Fingerprint sensor placement on the side power button can be awkward for left-handed users.
  • Some users reported less responsive performance in specific software functions, like the app drawer search bar.

Verdict

The Oppo A5i Pro 5G (4GB RAM + 128GB ROM) is a durable mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.67-inch HD+ LCD display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and 1,000 nits peak brightness, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and running ColorOS 15, it emphasizes longevity with a massive 6,000mAh battery that supports 45W SuperVOOC fast charging and is rated to maintain 80% capacity for five years. Its main pros include an exceptionally large battery, IP65 dust and water resistance, and MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance for added toughness. However, notable cons include its relatively low HD+ resolution (720p) for a screen of its size, a basic camera setup (50MP main + 2MP monochrome), and the 4GB RAM variant potentially facing multitasking limitations under heavy use.Would you like to compare this to other 5G-capable smartphones in the same price range or see a breakdown of its ColorOS 15 AI features?
