OPPO A5 2020 Specifications, Tests and Review

The OPPO A5 2020 has a height of 163.6 mm, a width of 75.6 mm and a thickness of 9.1 mm. The weight of the phone is 195 g.

The screen size reaches 6.5" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes.

Display Resolution of OPPO A5 2020 is 1600 x 720 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px.

OPPO A5 2020 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 665.

The processor also includes the graphics accelerator Qualcomm ADRENO 610.

The phone´s internal memory capacity is 64 GB. The size of the internal storage determines e.g., how many photos, songs, movies, or applications you can store on your phone. For everyday use and storing photos, songs or movies, this medium-sized internal storage is ideal. The advantage is also a lower price of phones equipped with this storage capacity. Best phones today range from 256 GB to 1 TB. That size is suitable for the most demanding users who shoot a lot of high-resolution photos or videos in 4K. Nevertheless, you'll have to pay extra for these higher capacities. Luckily, most smartphone manufacturers nowadays offer models with different memory sizes to suit every user.

An additional option to increase the storage capacity of this model is to insert a memory card.

RAM memory of the OPPO A5 2020 is LPDDR4X SDRAM - 3 GB. Most powerful phones currently have an operating memory of 12 GB or more, which is especially useful for demanding users such as gaming enthusiasts. Normally, phones nowadays have 6 to 8 GB of RAM, which means that the phone can easily handle normal operation and more demanding applications. Operating memory of less than 4 GB is found in lower-end phones or older models, and they are suitable for low-end users who don't use demanding applications and have the phone more for basic use.

The rear camera of the OPPO A5 2020 is equipped with 4 lenses, with each lens having a different role in taking pictures. Most common lens you'll see on smartphones is a wide-angle lens, telephoto lens or macro lens. A wide-angle lens is mainly used to capture landscapes and other spatially larger compositions where a wide field of view is needed. A telephoto lens is designed for photographing subjects at a distance and often has an optical zoom. A macro lens is ideal for close-ups and small objects. The resolution of the main lens is 12 Megapixel. Higher resolution does not necessarily mean super high quality photos. Furthermore, it depends on the pixel size but also on other important factors. Pixel size is 1.25 μm. Average value is typically around 0.8 μm to 1.8 μm on better mobile phones, and again, the higher the number, the higher the photo quality.

The size of the camera's sensor also influences the final quality of the photos. OPPO A5 2020´s main lens is designed with a sensor size of 1/2.8". The higher the value after the slash, the higher the resulting photo quality. The aperture of main lens reaches F/1.8 value. The best phones have a lens with an aperture of up to F/1.5, where more light can pass through sensor and photos will be of a high quality even in low light conditions. However, lenses with apertures around F/1.8 to F/2.2 are the most common. The lower the number after the slash, the better the photo quality.

Second camera
The second lens of rear camera is designed as Ultra wide-angle lens. The field of view of second lens reaches 119 degree(s). The resolution reaches size of 8 Megapixel. Pixel size in this case is 1.12 μm. Furthermore, the second lens is equipped with aperture of F/2.25.

Third camera
The resolution of third lens is then 2 Megapixel. The pixel size that significantly affects quality of photo is 1.75 μm. Last but not least, third lens is equipped with a lens aperture of F/2.4.

Fourth camera
The resolution of fourth lens is 2 Megapixel. The pixel size is 1.75 μm. Lens aperture value then reaches F/2.4.

Front camera
The front camera of phone OPPO A5 2020 has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The resolution of front lens reaches 8 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is only one of several other significant factors that affect resulting quality of a photo. The pixel size itself is 1.12 μm. The main lens is also equipped with aperture of F/2.0.

The battery size of OPPO A5 2020 is 5000 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day.

OPPO A5 2020 supports 4G. 5G connectivity, which is slowly replacing standard 4G connectivity, is still more the preserve of the latest phones. The operating system in this case is ColorOS 6.0.1 (based on Android 9).

Fans of modern technology will appreciate NFC function, which allows, among other things, contactless mobile phone payments, but also finds other uses in connectivity, such as unlocking the door or loading the menu in restaurant using the NFC tag. Basic connectivity standards also include Bluetooth 5.0, making it easy to communicate wirelessly with other devices such as headphones, tablets, speakers and smartwatches.
