The Oppo A5 is an entry-level smartphone designed to be durable, with a focus on a long-lasting battery and good resistance to drops. The Chinese brand had to make certain choices to maintain its price, resulting in a smartphone that lacks in the quality of its screen but offers features such as a 6,000 mAh battery and 45 watt fast charging. The Oppo A5 is currently available for 99.90 euros on the brand's website, down from its usual price of 149.90 euros. The smartphone features a matte back with a foggy effect, available in a color named Misty White, while a Midnight Violet color is also available but currently out of stock. The Oppo A5 has a 6.67 inch LCD screen with a resolution of 720p and a 90 Hz refresh rate, with a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. The screen is protected by a double tempered glass, which is 160 % more resistant to drops than that of the Oppo A3, the previous generation. However, the bezels of this screen are quite thick, which is no longer really in fashion. The Oppo A5 is certified IP65, which protects it from dust and water splashes (rain, splashes), but not from immersion. It has also passed in the laboratory the drop and shock tests of the MIL-STD-810H military standard, without specifying the drop height. Inside, Oppo has opted for the Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1, a chip limited to 4G (no 5G here), and for 4 GB of RAM. This RAM is expandable, but be careful, you will be drawing on a storage space of 128 GB (which is fortunately expandable with a microSD card). The smartphone runs on ColorOS 15, which has several practical AI features, especially in photography, since you will be able to enhance the sharpness of your photos or remove certain elements. The Oppo A5 is recommended for its long-lasting battery, fast charging, and resistance to splashes and drops.
