Reviews for the Oppo A5 5G
Oppo A5 5G review: Tough cuts
Source: Tech Advisor
The Oppo A5 5G offers a tempting value proposition at £179, undercutting several high-profile rivals by about 10%. It also comes with the tempting offer of a huge 6000mAh battery, which could conceivably last you into a third day of usage. It’s a well-built phone, too, with a decent level of water and dust resistance.However, this simply isn’t as pleasant to live with day to day as some of its key rivals. The key culprit is a 720p IPS display that simply isn’t as sharp or colourful as many of its rivals.Performance is adequate rather than outstanding, while the camera provision is bare bones at best, and lacks a certain flexibility. The Oppo A5 5G simply lacks the balance necessary to excel in the budget space. We’d have preferred Oppo to charge the extra £20 and give us the fully rounded experience that’s on offer elsewhere.

Oppo A5 5G review: Built tough, but bring glasses
Source: Gadgetguy
At $299, it’s much harder to forgive the Oppo A5 5G’s shortcomings than it was with the $219 Oppo A18. Sure, it’s rugged and offers a decent battery but, at these prices, the A5 5G’s screen should at least offer higher resolution, if not a better display quality than IPS LCD. Budget shoppers might not have a lot to spend, but they expect bang for their buck, and they’ll find more bang elsewhere.

Oppo A5 5G review: A big battery but not much else
Source: Digital Camera World
In a vacuum, the Oppo A5 5G is a decent phone for the £179 / AU$299 asking price. However, when you compare it to the competition, the value proposition becomes a little more iffy. I reviewed this phone immediately after spending time with the CMF Phone 2 Pro. At MSRP, that device should cost £40 more, but currently the difference is less than £30 on Amazon. It's not an insignificant amount, but when you consider that the CMF Phone comes with a triple camera setup, 4K video recording, a gorgeous (smudge-free) 10-bit OLED display, a much more powerful chipset, and double the RAM - the Oppo A5 5G becomes very difficult to recommend. Sure, the Oppo A5 has one of the largest batteries in its class, but when the experience is compromised elsewhere, that doesn't feel like a good trade-off. Personally, I'd take a faster processor, an extra camera or a nicer screen over a big battery - and that's exactly what a lot of the competition offers.
