Oppo A5 (128 GB)

The Oppo A5 (128 GB) was officially released in October 2019 as part of Oppo’s budget A-series. It was introduced with the goal of offering a large display, big battery, and quad-camera setup at an affordable price point.

Important Considerations

• 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution (720 × 1600).
• Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, suitable for basic to moderate performance.
• Quad rear camera system: 12 MP main + 8 MP ultra-wide + 2 MP depth + 2 MP portrait lens; 8 MP front camera.
• 5,000 mAh battery with 10 W charging, offering strong endurance for daily use.
• Storage: 128 GB built-in with expandable microSD support.
• Originally shipped with Android 9 (Pie) with ColorOS 6, later upgradeable to Android 10 with ColorOS 7.
• Downsides: no fast charging, average low-light camera quality, and lower display resolution compared to modern budget phones.

Better Alternatives

• Redmi Note 12 – newer design, AMOLED display, and stronger overall performance.
• Samsung Galaxy A14 – better software support and modern specs.
• Realme C55 – better charging speed and improved camera performance.
• Infinix Note 30 – larger display, faster charging, and more modern design.
