Reviews for the Oppo A5 5G
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.

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.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
