Display & Design

The OPPO A5x sports a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS LCD display. It’s not full HD, but the colors look decent, and with 1000nits max brightness, I had no problem using it outdoors. The 90Hz refresh rate makes scrolling feel smoother than you’d expect at this price.

Design-wise, it’s fairly sleek with a glass front and plastic back. It comes in two colors: Midnight Blueand Laser White, both of which have a clean and modern look. It also has IP65 water resistance and MIL-STD 810H certification– so yes, it can handle a few splashes and drops.

Battery Life is the Star

The best feature by far is the 6000mAh battery. I used it for a full day with browsing, streaming, some gaming, and social media – and still had juice left the next day. If you’re always on the go, this battery won’t let you down.

Even better, it supports 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging, so I was able to charge from 0 to 50% in just around 36 minutes. For a phone this affordable, that’s impressive.

Cameras – Decent for the Price

On the back, there’s a 32MP main camera that’s pretty good for daylight shots. It’s nothing mind-blowing, but it gets the job done. The 5MP front camera is okay for selfies and video calls, though don’t expect flagship-level sharpness.

Both cameras support 1080p video recording, which is totally fine for casual vlogging or TikTok content.

Performance & Features

The A5x runs on the Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 chip – not the fastest around, but surprisingly capable for daily tasks like messaging, browsing, and even a bit of light gaming. It comes with 4GB of RAM, which you can expand virtually with ColorOS’s dynamic RAM feature.

Out of the box, you get Android 15 with ColorOS 15, so it’s up-to-date with the latest features and security patches. Plus, there are some handy AI-powered functions that help with battery life and performance optimization.

Additional features I liked:

Side-mounted fingerprint scanner ✅
Infrared remote control (yes, you can control your TV!) ✅
Expandable storage up to 1TB via microSD ✅
Dual-band Wi-Fi and USB Type-C ✅

Should You Buy the OPPO A5x?

If you’re after a long-lasting phone, solid performance for everyday use, and a modern design under ₱8,000, the OPPO A5x is honestly hard to beat. Sure, the display isn’t Full HD and the selfie camera is basic, but the battery, software, and build quality make it a strong contender in the budget category.
