The Oppo A80 is the latest budget-friendly 5G smartphone to hit the market. Announced just yesterday, this phone brings some appealing features, particularly its AI technology. But beyond that, it sticks to the typical design of affordable 5G phones, including an IPS screen and the Dimensity 6300 processor.
Display and Design
The Oppo A80 sports a 6.67-inch IPS display with a small dot-punch hole for the front camera. While the screen has a resolution of just 720p, it makes up for this with a 120Hz refresh rate, which helps in smoother scrolling and better responsiveness. The display can get quite bright, up to 1000 nits, and is protected by durable Panda Glass.
Camera Details
The phone’s camera setup is basic. It has a dual-lens system on the back with a 50 MP main camera and a 2 MP depth sensor to help with portrait shots. The front camera is 8 MP. Both cameras can record video in 1080p, which is good but not exceptional.
Performance and AI Features
Under the hood, the Oppo A80 uses a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip, which supports 5G connectivity. It also includes an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for AI functions. This helps with features like AI-Eraser, which can remove unwanted objects from photos, and AI Link Boost for improved connectivity. The phone runs on Color OS 14, which is based on Android 14, ensuring a smooth user experience.
Battery and Charging
The Oppo A80 comes with a large 5100mAh battery that supports fast charging at 45W. It also has an IP54 rating, meaning it is splash resistant. The phone offers 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, and it is priced around AUD 369 (~PKR 69,000).
Summary
The Oppo A80 is a solid choice for anyone looking for an affordable 5G phone with a large battery, fast charging, and useful AI features. Its price and features make it a good option in the budget smartphone market.
