OPPO A5 5G: If you are also looking for a smartphone that is not only in the budget, but also stylish in appearance, smooth in operation and durable – then OPPO’s new launch OPPO A5 5G is made for you. It has recently entered India, and this phone seems to be directly replacing the OPPO A5x 5G which came last month. But this time the company has not only given updates, but has also put a lot of strength in the durability and performance of the phone.

Design & Durability

Looking at the OPPO A5 5G, it will seem that this phone is not only smart in appearance, but is also very tough from the inside. Its specialty is its 360° Armour Body design, in which reinforced glass has been used which gives 160% more impact resistance than the old OPPO A3 5G. This means – even if it falls, it will not make much difference.

Its frame is also not made of any ordinary metal, but a special kind of high-strength alloy frame which makes it stronger. OPPO has made this phone so tough that it is MIL-STD-810H certified, that is, it has also passed military-level testing. And yes, it also has an IP65 rating, that is, a little water and dust cannot spoil it.

Display and Looks

The phone has a 6.67-inch HD + LCD screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz. That is, everything looks very smooth while running the screen, whether you scroll or do gaming. And yes, its brightness goes up to 1000 nits, so the screen will be clearly visible even in sunlight. So for those who want a big screen along with style, this is the right option.

Battery and Charging

The biggest strength of OPPO A5 5G is its battery. In this phone you get a big battery of 6000mAh which can easily last the whole day after charging once. And when it comes to charging, you get a 45W SuperVOOC fast charger in it. The battery gets charged up to 30% in just 21 minutes and it takes only 37 minutes to go up to 50%.

The most important thing is that the company claims – this battery retains more than 80% capacity even after being charged about 1700 times. That is, this battery can last you for 5 years.

Performance and Storage

In this phone you get MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, which is built on 6nm technology. It is accompanied by Mali-G57 MC2 GPU which is clocked at 1072MHz – that is, the phone will not respond even in gaming and heavy tasking.

Talking about RAM, it has 6GB RAM, and those who need it can increase it up to 8GB with virtual RAM. Apart from this, there is no shortage of storage as well – the phone gets 128GB UFS 2.2 internal storage, and if this is not enough, then you can also install a microSD card up to 1TB.

The phone runs on Android 15 which comes with OPPO’s own Color OS skin. Meaning you will get a smooth and updated experience in the software as well.

Connectivity and network support

OPPO A5 5G has dual 5G VoLTE support – and it supports both NSA and SA networks. In this you get bands like n1/n3/n5/n8/n28B/n40/n41/n77/n78 which make 5G connectivity even more powerful.

Camera and photo quality

Now let’s talk about the camera – it has a 50MP main camera at the back which takes clear and sharp photos. There is an 8MP camera in the front, which is great for video calls and selfies. The camera app is also quite easy and responsive, which is enough for everyday needs.

Variants, Colours and Price

OPPO A5 5G comes in two great color variants – one is Aurora Green and the other is Mist White. Its 6GB RAM variant will be available for ₹ 15,499 and if you want a little extra, then you will also get a variant with 8GB RAM for ₹ 16,999.

This phone is currently available on OPPO India’s online store, and soon it will start being available on other online platforms and offline retail stores as well.

Now what to say in the end 

This time OPPO has not just launched another budget phone, but a phone that proves its worth in every aspect – style, performance, battery and durability. If you are looking for a smartphone under 15-17 thousand that will last you a long time, then definitely give OPPO A5 5G a try.
