    • 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.

    What customers dislike 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.
