Oppo A54 Detailed Review
The Oppo A54 is a budget-friendly smartphone designed to offer a decent balance of features for everyday use without breaking the bank. Launched in 2021, it aims to provide reliable performance, long battery life, and a solid build, catering to users who need an affordable device for daily tasks. Here’s a detailed review of the Oppo A54, covering its design, display, performance, camera, battery life, and software, along with its pros and cons.
Design and Build Quality
- Aesthetics: The Oppo A54 sports a simple yet modern design, with a glossy plastic back that mimics the appearance of glass. It comes in a range of colors, including Crystal Black, Starry Blue, and Moonlight Gold, which adds a touch of elegance to the device.
- Build Quality: Despite its budget price, the Oppo A54 feels solid in hand. The plastic build is durable, and the phone has an IPX4 rating for water resistance, which means it can withstand splashes of water, although it’s not fully waterproof.
- Ergonomics: Weighing 192 grams and with a thickness of 8.4mm, the A54 is slightly on the heavier side for a budget phone, but it’s still comfortable to hold. The curved edges and rounded corners contribute to a comfortable grip.
Conclusion: The Oppo A54 has a clean, attractive design and solid build quality for its price, with the added benefit of basic water resistance, making it a good choice for users who need a durable and affordable phone.
Display
- Size and Type: The device features a 6.51-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels (HD+). The screen has a standard 60Hz refresh rate, which is typical for budget smartphones.
- Quality: The IPS LCD panel delivers decent colors and viewing angles, though it lacks the vibrancy and contrast of AMOLED displays. The HD+ resolution is adequate for everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos, but it’s not as sharp as Full HD displays.
- Brightness: The display’s brightness is sufficient for indoor use, but it can struggle in direct sunlight, making it a bit difficult to see the screen clearly outdoors.
Conclusion: The display on the Oppo A54 is adequate for basic use, offering decent color reproduction and viewing angles, but it falls short in terms of sharpness and outdoor visibility.
Performance
- Processor: The Oppo A54 is powered by the MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, an entry-level processor that is paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM, depending on the variant. It also offers 128GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD card.
- General Performance: The Helio P35 is sufficient for basic tasks such as browsing, social media, and light app usage. However, it might struggle with more demanding apps and games, which may lead to occasional stuttering or lag.
- Multitasking: With 4GB or 6GB of RAM, multitasking is manageable, but switching between apps can sometimes feel sluggish, especially if multiple apps are running in the background.
Conclusion: The performance of the Oppo A54 is suitable for light to moderate usage, but it’s not designed for heavy multitasking or gaming. It’s a good option for users who need a phone primarily for communication, social media, and basic apps.
Camera
- Rear Camera Setup: The phone features a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 13MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor.
- Front Camera: The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor, located in a punch-hole cutout on the top left of the display.
- Camera Performance: The 13MP main camera performs reasonably well in good lighting conditions, capturing decent details and colors. However, in low light, the quality drops significantly, with noticeable noise and lack of detail. The 2MP macro lens is more of a gimmick, offering only basic close-up shots with limited detail. The depth sensor helps with portrait shots, but edge detection is not always accurate. The 16MP front camera is adequate for selfies, providing decent quality for social media use.
Conclusion: The camera setup on the Oppo A54 is basic and performs well in good lighting, but it struggles in low light. It’s adequate for casual photography but won’t satisfy users looking for high-quality images.
Battery Life
- Capacity: The Oppo A54 is equipped with a large 5000mAh battery, which is one of its key selling points.
- Battery Performance: With such a large battery, the A54 easily lasts through a full day of moderate use, and can even stretch to two days with lighter usage. The device is well-suited for users who prioritize battery life and need a phone that can keep up with their daily demands.
- Charging: The phone supports 18W fast charging, which is not the fastest but is reasonable for this price segment. It takes a bit over 2 hours to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100%.
Conclusion: Battery life is a strong point for the Oppo A54, offering long-lasting performance that can easily get you through a full day and beyond on a single charge.
Software and Features
- Operating System: The Oppo A54 runs on ColorOS 7.2, based on Android 10. While not the latest version of Android, ColorOS offers a user-friendly interface with plenty of customization options.
- Software Experience: ColorOS on the A54 is smooth and responsive, with features like Dark Mode, App Cloner, and various gestures. However, some users might find the pre-installed apps (bloatware) unnecessary, though most can be uninstalled.
Conclusion: The software on the Oppo A54 is user-friendly and offers plenty of customization, but the use of an older version of Android and the presence of bloatware might be downsides for some users.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Large Battery: The 5000mAh battery provides excellent battery life, making it ideal for users who need a phone that can last all day and beyond.
- Solid Build Quality: The phone has a sturdy build and even offers basic water resistance (IPX4).
- Affordable Price: The Oppo A54 is priced competitively, making it an accessible option for budget-conscious consumers.
- Expandable Storage: With a dedicated microSD card slot, users can expand the storage up to 256GB, which is a useful feature in this price range.
Cons:
- Average Display: The HD+ display is adequate but lacks sharpness and struggles in bright outdoor conditions.
- Mediocre Performance: The Helio P35 chipset is not the most powerful, leading to potential sluggishness in multitasking and gaming.
- Basic Camera Setup: The camera performance is satisfactory in good lighting but underwhelming in low light, and the additional lenses (macro and depth) add little value.
- Outdated Software: Running on Android 10 with ColorOS 7.2, the phone misses out on some newer Android features and updates.
Conclusion
The Oppo A54 is a budget-friendly smartphone that excels in areas like battery life and build quality but falls short in performance and camera capabilities. It’s a solid choice for users who prioritize battery life and durability over cutting-edge features. While it may not be the best option for heavy multitaskers or photography enthusiasts, it offers good value for everyday tasks and casual use.
