In April, Oppo updated 17 of its smartphones to stable ColorOS 7 build in China. The list included all the premium and mid-premium devices. Now, the company has shared an update timeline for its mid-range and budget smartphones. These handsets will be receiving the OTA by the end of May.

The below-listed models are the third batch of handsets to receive stable ColorOS 7 stable update in China. 

For the unware, Oppo already has a new version of its mobile software called ColorOS 7.1. This incremental version is only available on the company’s latest flagship smartphones – Find X2 and Find X2 Pro as well as the newly launched Oppo Ace 2. The brand is yet to reveal which devices will get this update

ColorOS 7 was announced way back in November 2019 but only now the company is rolling out stable updates to its devices. The new software update, apart from bringing new features, also bumps up the underlying Android to version 10.

The Chinese smartphone maker has also started seeding out stable updates globally. To learn more about ColorOS 7, do check out our launch coverage.

Samsung announced its new Galaxy A (2020) series and launched two devices from the new line-up: Samsung Galaxy A71 and A51. The former is the higher-end handset and it has upper-midrange specifications. It is very interesting because of its camera quality and overall performance, so we decided to compare it with another newly-announced device. We are talking about the Redmi K30 in its 4G variant, another potential best-seller, given its very affordable price. Last but not least, we decided to add another device that has already been in the Chinese market for a while: the upper-midrange Oppo K5 with a very well-balanced specs sheet.

Samsung Galaxy A71 vs Xiaomi Redmi K30 vs Oppo K5

Design

Most people, including me, prefer to have a punch-hole display instead of a notch. A punch-hole display is less invasive as it is just a small hole in the screen. And that is what Samsung Galaxy A71 offers, so it is my favorite one if we talk about aesthetics. Even Redmi K30 has a punch-hole design, but it has two holes because it sports a dual front camera. Despite its waterdrop notch, someone may prefer the Oppo K5 due to its cleaner rear design since not everyone likes big camera modules such as the one found on the Samsung Galaxy A71 and Redmi K30. What is your preference?

Display

Here it is a hard fight between Oppo K5 and Redmi K30. The former has a great AMOLED display with high brightness and very nice color accuracy, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The latter has an IPS panel and IPS panels are is not trending at the moment, but it has the most revolutionary technologies: it supports both HDR10 and a 120 Hz refresh rate making it the most affordable phone with the highest refresh rate ever seen on a phone. But its fingerprint reader is side-mounted. Samsung Galaxy A71 has a classic Super AMOLED panel, not better than Oppo K5 and Redmi K30.

Specs & Software

Both Oppo K5 and Redmi K30 are powered by the amazing Snapdragon 730G midrange chipset, while Samsung Galaxy A71 is fueled by the lower-end Snapdragon 730 which offers inferior graphics performance. Oppo K5 and Redmi K30 come with up to 8 GB of RAM and UFS 2.1 native storage. With exactly the same hardware department, the most important role will be played by software optimization. We still had no chance to test the Redmi K30 thoroughly, so we are waiting to see how much performing it will be. Note that it runs Android 10 out of the box, unlike Oppo K5.

Camera

The most impressive cameras are mounted on the Samsung Galaxy A71: all of these devices come with a 64 MP main sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture, but Samsung Galaxy A71 has a better secondary sensor (ultrawide, dedicated macro camera and depth sensor). That is why it wins the camera comparison.

Battery

Samsung Galaxy A71 and Redmi K30 are equipped with a bigger 4500 mAh battery, so they will surely last more than Oppo K5. It remains to be seen which of them is the winner of this comparison. Samsung Galaxy A71 might be better due to a more efficient display, but we are just speculating for now.

Price

Redmi K30 launched in China with a €210/$233 starting price, Oppo K5 costs €255/$283 in its base version, while Samsung still did not confirm the pricing of the Galaxy A71. With the actual information, Redmi K30 looks more promising due to its 120 Hz display, better chipset than Galaxy A71, a bigger battery than Oppo K5 and Android 10 out of the box. But Samsung Galaxy A71 has higher camera capabilities.

Inside the phone is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 730G processor and it is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Alongside SuperVOOC 2.0 (65W) and 30W Wireless VOOC Flash Charge, OPPO also announced VOOC 4.0 Flash Charge Technology; a successor to VOOC 3.0.

VOOC 4.0 will also bring 30W charging to devices but via wired charging. It surpasses Xiaomi’s 27W Mi Turbo Wired Charging. OPPO says the new technology is the Flash Charge solution for all.

The new charging solution will allow users to charge a 4000mAh battery to 67% in 30 minutes and to 100% in 73 minutes – a 12% increase in speed compared to the previous generation. OPPO adds that the optimized VFC algorithm helps reduce the charging time required for the last 10%. The charging technology also features reduced internal resistance and reduced heat generation thanks to an efficient adapter and an advanced battery design. With VOOC 4.0, the temperature is controlled even when playing a game and charging at the same time.

VOOC 4.0 is also backward compatible with all Flash Charge technologies up to VOOC 3.0, so you are fine using a VOOC 4.0 charger for your older devices.

OPPO also revealed that the new technology will appear first in the upcoming OPPO K5, a successor to the OPPO K3. This is the first time we are hearing of the device. So other than the new charging technology, we practically know nothing else about it. We expect more details will surface soon.

VOOC technology was first launched in 2014 and now OPPO has filed over 1700 patents related to the technology. It is now used in over 30 devices and serves more than 145 million users. OPPO has also licensed the technology to other companies.
