But this one feels great. You could call it smart leather but, well, that sounds dumb. The Oppo Find X2 Pro is also easy to handle considering the screen size, because of those small borders and the tall aspect ratio. But, just like the other big names, this phone does not have a headphone jack.
But with GB storage, should you really care? You do get stereo speakers. The Oppo Find X2 Pro gets a little brash at max volume, but these are loud, useful little speakers. The Oppo Find X2 Pro has a 6. Almost all phone screens refresh their image 60 times a second. Leave the Oppo Find X2 Pro coasting with the settings it uses fresh out of the box and the phone runs at Hz in Google apps or on your homescreens, but dips to 60Hz when you use third-party apps.
This is probably the best way to run your Oppo Find X2 Pro. You get an ultra-smooth and quick feel interface, but less of a battery hit when you get stuck in an Instagram black hole for an hour. The display itself is excellent. You can choose how bold the colour is, OLED delivers perfect blacks and the screen is bright enough for easy use outdoors on bright days.
And the Oppo Find X2 Pro has a punch hole, not the all-screen display of some of the Oppo Reno models, made possible by a motorised selfie camera.
Would this phone need to be thicker to use such a camera? Did Oppo market research say people prefer a punch hole? We think, and hope, HD support will be added soon. But so is that of every other top-end Android, bar the Pixel phones.
You can choose whether to have an app drawer or not, and the bonus Smart Assistant home screen is more pared-back than the average. You can tell Oppo was out to make a monster phone, particularly as it also has GB storage. Want some hot numbers? This beats every Android with anything lower than the Snapdragon , although the iPhone 11 series phones are still just slightly ahead on CPU power.
Need to snap a picture of that cute dog half-way across the park? No problem, there are good 5x and 10x zoom modes at your fingertips. The Oppo Find X2 Pro also has one of the best macro modes put into a phone.
When you get real close to your subject, the phone automatically switches to it, and uses the wide camera instead of the standard one. Just like the Huawei P30 Pro, the original master of phone macro, this wide camera can focus much closer than the others.
You need to spend a few seconds getting the focus right as, up close, the depth of field is pretty shallow. But the results are often great. Oppo has nailed a few other important areas too.
Its dynamic range processing is world-class. You can shoot right into cloud cover turned into white fury by the sun and still get usable shots. Video stabilisation is a highlight too. But there are compromises.
Using standard Ultra Steady limits you to p capture. Apple wins. The Find X2 Pro may still win for travel stills, though. The 5x zoom has a megapixel sensor and takes very solid pics at that magnification. Snap away at 1x with the Oppo and you can take megapixel images if you like, instead of the standard 12MP pics. Ultra-wide shots are great, with some loss of detail compared to the 1X relative to view size but nothing like the drop in quality seen in cheaper phones.
Other gripes?
The camera makes certain types of scene look too bright, a little washed out. And while the night mode is very good, and quick, it only works well at 1x magnification. The chin is thick as well, but none of it seems distracting when viewing the display. The display offers good colours and decent clarity. The panel is as good as you can expect for a p display. While texts appear sharp enough, video content will look soft around the edges with noticeable pixelation if you look for it. Brightness levels and viewing angles are just about average and it certainly fares poorly under the intense Delhi sun.
The Oppo A5s is powered by a 2.
You will also get 32GB of internal storage for both RAM options, which is low but luckily there is a dedicated expandable storage slot. This doesn't instill any confidence considering you can get phones like the Redmi Note 7 with a Snapdragon SoC and the Realme 3 with a Helio P70 processor at similar prices that are faster and consistently smooth at handling day-to-day tasks. Given the specs, it doesn't come as a surprise that the Oppo A5s isn't the snappiest phone in this segment. Apps are slow to open and you will experience lags here and there through the UI. Scrolling through apps like Instagram and Twitter will be jittery as well.
The A5s is also not a gaming phone and should be skipped if you're looking to play games like PUBG or Asphalt 9 as the performance is laggy while resolution is unappealing. Performance is unfortunately not the biggest disappointment here. Consumers are now expecting phones to ship with Android Pie, especially considering Realme has been launching its phones with Pie and ColorOS 6 out-of-the-box.
With ColorOS 5. You also don't get an app drawer and the multi-app window only shows app icons on ColorOS 5. The other big issue to deal with is constant spam notifications from native apps like Browser. The rear-mounted fingerprint is snappy as one would expect and the default choice to unlock the device. Face unlock is available as well, but it won't be fast or accurate indoors and in low light. The bottom-firing speaker lacks clarity, but it can get loud. On the front, the A5s gets an 8-megapixel selfie cameras. These are pretty elementary cameras that don't offer anything exciting or unique, but they do work as well as they ought to.
You can capture some attractive phones in daylight with good colour reproduction and high saturation levels. There is decent sharpness at the center of an image, which tends to fade away around the edges and HDR does an admirable job. The camera app support portrait mode which will give you bokehs with decent edge detection. The camera struggles in low light and indoors as you get images with a lot of noise and softness. Photos lack brightness and the camera will face trouble locking on to a subject quickly. Selfie camera is again quite average when it comes to shooting bokehs or in low light.
It should be connected to Mobile Data or Wi-Fi. 4. The contact number should be linked to the Google Account, to call/ring it. 5. Location/GPS is enabled. This cell phone tracking tool comes with a lot of special functions like setting a time limitation to restrict children from playing mobile phone, sending a notification.
The best selfies will be found in broad daylight as you get good sharpness and natural-looking skin provided the AI beauty effect is disabled. The smartphone houses a 4,mAh battery, which is sufficient to take you over a full day of usage with ease. The battery life is excellent primarily because the HD resolution and low power consuming chipset do little to drain the battery.
Even on a heavy usage day where you're constantly messaging, browsing social media or spending a few hours watching videos or playing games, you will still get a day and a half of battery on a single charge. The Oppo A5s has two things going for it - attractive design and great battery life. And while those features do rank high among consumers, the expectations today from a phone, even a budget phone, is far higher. The Oppo A5s struggles in the performance, software and camera departments in a time when the competition is at its fiercest.
