First Impressions
After a few uses, here are my quick impressions of this smartphone.
The A5s has a sleek build and an efficient grip that is synonymous with Oppo smartphones. Together with its plastic casing, the Oppo A5s clocks a surprising 194g on the scale considering a supersized battery.
This is lighter than the 222g of the Oppo F11 Pro that carries a 4,000 mAh battery. And makes the A5s easier to carry around.
The camera on the A5s is not so great, especially under low light conditions, and images also tend to be a bit overexposed. It took a lot of manual adjustments in camera settings and light conditions to shoot good pictures.
I was surprised to notice an absence of earphones in the box Figured by now these things should already be a staple in phone packaging. Not nice.
Finally, the battery seems powerful. Even though use has been minimal, but the 4,230 mAh battery has shown promise in its depletion. This one also does not seem to have fast charge.
In 10 minutes, it added just 6%, while the fast charging F11 Pro plugged in climbed from 33% to 48% in the same time.
Strong points for me are battery, a light and sleek build. The camera still does not impress me after many first tries.
