Third-party reviews

What we like about Oppo A5i Pro 4G (8GB + 128GB)

  • The battery life is excellent, with a large 5,800-6,000 mAh capacity that easily lasts a day and a half to two days with moderate use.
  • It features fast 45W wired charging, which can charge the phone in about 83 minutes.
  • The phone has a high durability rating, including IP65/IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance and MIL-STD 810H military-grade shock resistance, capable of handling drops and exposure to water.
  • The 90Hz (or 120Hz depending on the specific variant) IPS LCD screen is bright (up to 1000 nits in auto mode), smooth, and visible outdoors, protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.
  • For its price, daily performance is smooth, with apps opening quickly and multitasking working well.
  • It offers a great value complete package in the box, including a 45W power supply, a non-transparent case, and a screen protector, which reviewers appreciate.
  • The audio quality is decent with loud stereo speakers, and an 'ultra volume mode' is available for noisy environments.
  • It includes useful connectivity features like a 3.5mm headphone jack (on some 4G variants), NFC, and an IR blaster.
  • The camera takes sharp, fine photos in good daylight conditions for its price category.

What we don't like about Oppo A5i Pro 4G (8GB + 128GB)

  • The display resolution is only HD+ (720p), which some reviewers find too low for the screen size and price point, making images less sharp than competitors with Full HD screens.
  • Low-light camera performance is poor, resulting in grainy, noisy, and often unusable images in dim environments.
  • It is not ideal for demanding mobile gaming; while basic games run at medium settings, more intensive games require low settings and may still experience slowdowns.
  • The phone has a notable amount of pre-installed bloatware (apps and games) out of the box, although they can be uninstalled.
  • Video recording lacks any form of stabilization (electronic or optical), leading to shaky footage.
  • The secondary 2MP camera sensor is mainly for depth assistance, and there are no ultra-wide or macro lens capabilities, which are common on some rival phones.
  • While performance is adequate for everyday tasks, there can sometimes be slight slowdowns in the system, typical for a budget smartphone.
  • Some variants do not include a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Verdict

The Oppo A5i Pro 4G (8GB+128GB) is a durable, budget-oriented smartphone featuring a 6.67-inch HD+ (1604 x 720 pixels) 90Hz LCD display with 1000 nits peak brightness and robust Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 mobile platform and includes 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM (plus virtual RAM expansion) and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. A primary 50MP rear camera is paired with a 2MP monochrome sensor, and the device is equipped with a large 6,000mAh battery supporting 45W SUPERVOOCTM fast charging. Key pros include its impressive military-grade shock resistance and high IP65 water and dust resistance, long battery life, fast charging capabilities, and ultra-volume mode for the speakers. Potential cons include a relatively low display resolution for its size, a basic 5MP front camera, and an inconsistent rear camera performance, especially in low light conditions.
