Oppo A5 Pro offers durability at an affordable price

The new Oppo A5 Pro is a budget-friendly smartphone packed with features. It boasts military-grade shock resistance, a large 6.67-inch display, and a capable 50MP camera. We tested its durability by dropping it from waist height onto hard floors, and it came out without a scratch. The A5 Pro has a solid build that feels sturdy, thanks to its reinforced materials. It also has IP68 and IP69 ratings, meaning it is resistant to dust and can withstand immersion in water. For a price below BDT 24,000, its toughness is impressive. The phone features a bright screen that reaches up to 1000 nits of brightness, making it easy to see even in sunlight. It has a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, providing an enjoyable viewing experience, although the resolution is HD+. The camera performs well in good lighting, capturing clear photos with accurate colors. However, it struggles in low-light conditions, with some loss of detail. The 8MP front camera is suitable for everyday selfies and video calls. Powered by a Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 processor and 8GB of RAM, the A5 Pro handles daily tasks well. However, it may lag in more demanding games. Its ColorOS 15 software offers a clean interface, although some preinstalled apps cannot be removed. The phone has an impressive 5,800mAh battery, lasting over a day and a half even with heavy use. It can be charged from empty to full in just over an hour with the included 45W fast charger. Overall, the Oppo A5 Pro stands out in the budget segment for its durability, good camera, bright display, and strong battery life. While it does have some minor drawbacks, it is a great choice for budget-conscious consumers looking for a reliable smartphone.
