The success of OPPO Reno set the vector for the development of smartphone company design, therefore A5 (2020) accurately emulates the appearance of the flagship. The elements on the rear panel are arranged in a slender row along the surface of the lid: three cameras and a flash, a fingerprint scanner, company branding. The unlock scanner ring looks atypical, and is not a ring at all, but rather an oval. But it works just fine. Either we have gotten used to inaccurate and slow on-screen scanners, or OPPO really managed to install an extremely high-quality scanner in a budget segment device.

The reality is that we can see this OPPO A5 2020 as a brother of the A9 2020. Since the differences between the two phones are very few. A good model within the mid-range, which at the moment has been announced only for certain markets in Asia. We tell you all about this phone.

The design is also the same as we have seen on the other phone. A screen with a notch in the form of a drop of water, while in the back we expect four cameras in it. The fingerprint sensor is placed this time on the back of the phone, as seen in its photos. Something common in models within the mid-range on Android.

The phone continues on with the fashion of big screens that we are seeing frequently this year. It makes use of a classic mid-range processor, the Snapdragon 665, one of the most used in this segment. It comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage as we can see in its specifications. The battery of the phone stands out for its good capacity, with 5,000 mAh, which will undoubtedly give us good autonomy. The fingerprint sensor is located in this case on the back of the phone, as usual in the mid-range. Without too many surprises in this regard by the Chinese brand.

Camera of A5 2020

The cameras are one of the strengths of the Oppo brand, the OPPO A5 2020's camera employs four sensors in this case. A main sensor of 12 MP is used in this case, a change from the usual 48 that we see in other brands until now. While with this sensor, a wide angle of 117 degrees and depth sensors have been used. It also comes with the LED flash and night photography mode Ultra Night Mode 2.0 too. So we can take good pictures with this mid-range of the Chinese brand.

Oppo A5 2020: a large battery

The OPPO A5 (2020) battery has an impressive 5000 mAh capacity - what does it really mean? The result of 15 hours in our company test did not allow the smartphone to take a leading position in the ranking. With everyday use, A5 (2020) lasts for a day and a half: without records and revelations. Alas, the application for a standalone smartphone did not materialize. In addition to this, the complete set is charging only 10 watts, which makes the process of replenishing energy an unbearably long task.

To summarize. The elongated smartphone format has life and looks promising. Such displays contain more information, make it convenient to watch movies in 21: 9 format and play shooters. Is OPPO A5 (2020) enough to push this format forward? Not. The smartphone is controversial: the quality of the IPS-matrix is ​​doubtful, not everyone likes the shell, the plastic case is prone to scratches. This is the problem - there are no popular smartphones with a 21: 9 screen on the market.

Gaming performance of Oppo A5 2020

The gaming performance of OPPO A5 (2020) does not disappoint. Large 3D projects like Call of Duty Mobile and PUBG are up and running without any problems. Stable FPS can be obtained at mid-low settings, the default is minimal graphics. The game interface perfectly adapts to the elongated screen, opening the player a huge field of view. Another plus of this format: playing shooters, you do not overlap the hero with your fingers, as the controls spaced at different angles are quite far from each other.

Another important aspect of the multimedia component of a mobile device is photography. OPPO is proud of the A5 camera (2020), actively using it in the PR company of the smartphone. Well, there is a reason. It uses 4 modules: classic, telephoto, ultra wide angle and a sensor for measuring depth. The main camera has a resolution of 12 megapixels and shows good results for its price segment both in the afternoon and in the evening. Photos come out sharp, but a little faded, which is easily corrected using post-processing. The front camera here is adequate enough for video communication..

Ultra-wide-angle camera is the undoubted trend of 2019. Each manufacturer is trying to equip a smartphone with such a module (not counting Google, of course), but, alas, not everyone thinks about its quality. The 8-megapixel sensor that is used here takes acceptable photos in good light and does not cope with a dark environment at all. However, this is observed on all the "widths" of modern smartphones. Believe me, even a new iPhone cannot take a clear photo on an ultra-wide-angle camera in the evening. Portrait mode correctly determines the silhouette of a person.
