The OPPO A5 is a mid-range phone with a notch and dual rear cameras. It launched in India last year in a single variant with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. OPPO has now released a new variant with double the storage.
The new variant retains all the specs of the 32GB version but has 64GB of built-in storage. As expected, it also costs more – ₹12,990 (~$188). To be honest we see no reason why you will want to buy this as the Realme U1 (4+64GB) offers much more (save for a smaller battery) and costs less – ₹11,999 (~$175).
The OPPO A5 has a 6.2-inch HD+ 19:9 display with a wide notch at the top for the selfie camera and speaker. It is powered by the Snapdragon 450 processor and there is support for storage expansion.
The back of the phone is home to dual cameras – a 13MP f/2.2 primary sensor and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. The front-facing camera is an 8MP f/2.0 sensor with support for Face Unlock and AI Beauty 2.0. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The A5 runs ColorOS 5.1 based on Android 8.1 Oreo and packs a 4230mAh battery. It has a pretty nice feature called Music Party which allows your friends to connect to your hotspot and play the same song your phone is playing.
