Cross Platform Disk Test (CPDT)
Software - ColorOS based on Android
The Oppo A54 5G runs Android 11 with security patches a the level of May 5, 2021. The manufacturer's proprietary ColorOS 11.1 is used as the user interface, and it's very similar to pure Android. However, custom apps are implemented to view photos and for the file explorer, for example.
In addition, the structure of the settings menu has been modified. With Facebook and TikTok, third-party apps are also preinstalled, but they can be easily deleted.
Communication and GNSS - With NFC and Wi-Fi 5
The A54 5G can establish mobile connections over GSM, 3G, LTE, and 5G. The supported bands are very extensive, and up to 800 Mb/s is achieved for downloading data and up to 225 Mb/s for uploading data using LTE Cat. 15.
For communication in close ranges, Oppo's smartphone has NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, and Wi-Fi 5 at its disposal. The latter achieves average speeds of 276 Mb/s for sending data and 312 Mb/s for receiving data in combination with our reference router. This score ranks at the lower end of our test field and is only undercut by the Samsung Galaxy M12.

The A54 5G can make use of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS to determine its location. In combination with the app "GPS Test", the smartphone can achieve a positioning accuracy of up to four meters outdoors.
On our routine bike ride, the distance covered is tracked with an inaccuracy similar to that of our reference device, the Garmin Edge 500.
Telephone and call quality - Clear connection with the A54 5G
Calls can be made on the Oppo A54 5G with Android's standard phone app. The volume is relatively high during calls, and background noise is blocked out well. Users can be understood well on both sides.
Cameras - Good photos with 48 MP
Portraits with a resolution of 16 MP can be taken with the Oppo A54's front-facing camera. Colors look natural with it, and strong contrast differences are balanced well. However, fine details and structures become a bit blurry as soon as lighting is no longer optimal. Color filters and beautification modes can be used to adjust the resulting image.
The main camera has 48 MP for simple pictures plus 2 MP for depth information. This allows taking good pictures of objects in close ranges, and many details as well as vivid colors are offered. Panoramic subjects show similar characteristics but tend to show dark areas in the picture if the illumination is uneven. Ultra wide-angle photos are captured with an 8 MP sensor that also delivers rich colors. But details are only visible when they're clearly separated from the objects around them.
If you want to bring objects closer in the picture, only digital zoom is available. It's definitely functional, and it shows a solid result with objects in the picture being moderately well separated from each other. Under poor lighting conditions, subjects can only be recognized vaguely, and colors are heavily misrepresented. A professional mode is available for the manual adjustment of the image quality, allowing the user to make changes to the ISO, shutter speed, white balance, focus, and brightness settings. A 2 MP macro sensor rounds off the camera setup.
Videos are recorded with a similar quality as in our test pictures. Color filters are also available here, but no professional mode. The available resolutions are 720p and 1080p at 30 fps in each case.

Close-upPanoramaUltra winde-angleZoom (5x)Low-light
The ColorChecker Passport image shows that the Oppo A54 5G's camera reproduces colors brighter than they should be. The test chart is captured sharply under controlled lighting conditions, but it shows weaknesses in contrast in the lower corners.
Accessories and warranty - Headset and protective case included in the box
The Oppo A54 5G comes with a USB power adapter with a corresponding USB-C cable, a protective silicone case, a SIM tool, and a stereo headset with a 3.5 mm connector.
The manufacturer states a warranty period of 24 months.
Input devices and handling - Side-mounted fingerprint scanner
Oppo uses Google's GBoard as the keyboard app, which allows inputs without issues. The touchscreen responds reliably to taps and is also suitable for occasional drag-and-drop gestures.
In addition to the good facial recognition, the A54 5G can also be unlocked via the side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It responded quickly to stored fingerprints in the test, and a second attempt was rarely necessary.
Display - Bright and with 90 Hz, but low in contrast
The Oppo A54 5G's screen consists of a 6.5-inch IPS panel and offers a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels. With the brightness sensor enabled, we measured a maximum brightness of 504 cd/m² on average. 438 cd/m² is still reached without the sensor. The minimum brightness is 1.38 cd/m², and the maximum value in the APL50 test is 514 cd/m².
PWM is only used to control brightness at levels below 14% and at a comparatively high frequency of 2,404 Hz.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 2404 Hz | ≤ 14 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 2404 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 14 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 2404 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
According to our measurements, the contrast ratio of 778:1 and the black level of 0.64 cd/m² are only sufficient for a place at the lower end of our test field. Furthermore, the CalMAN analysis shows that colors are reproduced in the most balanced way when the "Warmer" display profile is selected - alternatively, the "Standard" and "Cooler" variants are also available.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - Competitive, but without a unique selling point
The Oppo A54 5G is one of many affordable smartphones on the market. The fact that it supports 5G no longer makes it a special device, which is why the rest of the features are decisive. In this respect, the Android phone features an original design and a 90 Hz display. The latter only offers a moderate contrast ratio, but it's brighter than comparable contenders.
With the Oppo A54 5G, the manufacturer delivers an affordable smartphone with 5G support that is suitable for everyday use.
In terms of system performance, it can slightly set itself apart from our test field, but this is counterbalanced by the inferior graphics performance. The camera takes decent pictures, and the system runs smoothly overall. However, these features are offered by the Motorola Moto G50 and the Xiaomi Poco M3, for example, which are available at a similar price and achieve better battery life on top of that. The realme 8 5G is also an equally good competitor.
Consequently, the decision whether to buy or not is rather based on the user's perception of ColorOS and the design, which is, as always, a matter of taste.
