Price last checked: 17 Jan 2022. Confirm current price before buying.
Built around Mediatek's Helio P35 chipset, this is a phone aimed at basic daily use rather than heavy multitasking or gaming. The 3GB RAM and 32GB storage combo is modest even by 2019 standards, though a dedicated microSD slot lets you add up to 256GB if you need more room for photos and apps. The 6.2-inch HD+ display uses S-IPS LCD tech, so viewing angles hold up fine even if the resolution is on the lower side.
Camera-wise, you get a 13MP main sensor paired with a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots, plus an 8MP front camera for selfies. Video tops out at 1080p30, nothing fancy. Oppo A5s price in Malaysia starts from RM499, which puts it firmly in entry-level territory.
What stands out is the 4230mAh battery, a solid capacity that should comfortably cover a full day of light use. It runs Android 8.1 with ColorOS 5.2 on top, and comes with a rear fingerprint sensor plus a 3.5mm jack with active noise cancellation, small conveniences that matter more than you'd expect at this price.
