Oppo A5 2020 Overview:

The Oppo A5 2020 has the same 6.5-inch HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) display as the Oppo A9 2020. And just like the A9 2020, it is powered by Snapdragon 665 processor. There are two variants of OPPO A5: One with 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage, and the other with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The A5 2020 features a Quad-camera setup on the rear with a 12MP primary camera. An 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor are added to its rear camera setup. There’s an 8MP front camera residing inside the notch of the display. The Oppo A5 2020 is certainly a power-house; boasting a 5000mAh battery with reverse charging. Talking about the body, the phone has a plastic body with gradient colors. The phone packs a stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos sound. There is no in-display fingerprint sensor, instead, you will be getting a rear-facing fingerprint sensor. Thanks to the big battery, the phone weighs around 195g and is relatively thick at 9.1mm. The phone runs on Android 9.0 with ColorOS 6.0 on top. Also Read: Oppo Mobiles Price in Nepal
