What we like about Oppo A80 5G (16GB + 256GB)

  • Excellent build quality and high durability (360° Damage-Proof Armor Body), including drop and splash resistance (IP54 certified).
  • Long battery life, often lasting up to two days with moderate use.
  • Fast 45W SUPERVOOC charging capability (though the charger may not be included in all regions).
  • Smooth scrolling and responsive user experience due to the 120Hz refresh rate display.
  • Display is very bright (1000 nits peak brightness) and easy to read outdoors in sunlight.
  • Good all-around performance for daily tasks, browsing, and average use.
  • Decent 50MP main camera that performs well in good lighting conditions.
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature appreciated by some users.
  • Good value for the price, offering 5G connectivity and modern features in a budget-friendly package.
  • Stylish design with a comfortable grip.
  • Ample RAM and storage options, with expandable storage available.
  • Runs on the recent Android 14 with ColorOS 14.

What we don't like about Oppo A80 5G (16GB + 256GB)

  • The screen resolution is only 720p (HD+) rather than Full HD+, resulting in less sharpness for fine text and high-definition video.
  • Occasional lag can occur, especially when loading web pages or with several apps open.
  • Performance is not suited for graphically intensive gaming.
  • Comes with pre-installed bloatware (extra apps) upon initial setup.
  • Low-light photography is not a strong point due to the lack of optical image stabilization (OIS) and basic auxiliary lenses.
  • The speaker is mono, focused on clear voice rather than music quality with good bass or sound stage.
  • No eSIM support, which is an increasingly common feature on competing models.
  • The charger is not always included in the box, requiring a separate purchase to utilize the 45W fast charging speed.
  • The large 6.67-inch screen can be difficult to control with one hand.
  • General criticisms of the brand include potentially poor post-sales support compared to competitors.

Verdict

The Oppo A80 5G features a 6.67-inch 120Hz IPS LCD with an HD+ resolution (1604 x 720) and 1000 nits peak brightness, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G chipset and running ColorOS 14 (Android 14). It comes with a robust 8GB of physical RAM (expandable with virtual RAM) and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, a 50MP main rear camera accompanied by a 2MP portrait lens, and an 8MP selfie camera. A large 5100mAh battery supporting 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging is included, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack and IP54 splash resistance. Its main pros include impressive durability with a 360° Damage-Proof Armour Body, a smooth 120Hz display refresh rate, excellent battery life, and fast charging capabilities. Primary cons are the screen's lower 720p resolution (instead of Full HD), average camera performance in low light, pre-installed bloatware, and the fact that the 45W charger is not included in the box.
