OPPO A57: Extreme performance
The original OPPO A57, launched in 2016, was a basic, entry-level smartphone designed for the masses. However, OPPO has since relaunched the A57, this time with a bit more verve. While it is still pocket-friendly, it comes with an upgraded processor, an optimised camera module, a robust battery, and stylish design elements. Meanwhile, OPPO continues to offer an intuitive UI with its handsets.
However, do these upgrades make a significant difference? And how does OPPO A57 rank among its peers in terms of performance? OPPO A57 looks clean and dazzling from a distance, thanks to its shimmering colours. We look beyond the design and glamour and see if OPPO A57 is still a formidable contender in the budget segment.
Key highlights
- OPPO continues to impress with its smartphone designs, with the A57 flaunting a 2D premium design
- Cameras are optimised to offer crisp and detailed images
- 5,000 mAh battery with 33W SuperVOOC support is an excellent feature
- Up to 4GB of extended RAM ensures a smooth and lag-free performance of the smartphone
User experience and features
OPPO A57 features
This smartphone runs on OPPO’s customised ColorOS 12.1 based on Android OS. This makes the handset easy to navigate and scroll, with neatly arranged widgets. OPPO also offers different customisation options to provide a personalised user experience. You can also benefit from various features like split-screen multitasking and gesture-based navigation. These features have been integrated to enhance your productivity and entertainment levels.
Next, we look at OPPO A57’s cameras. The device sports two sensors at the back — a 13MP main lens and a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera uses an f/2.2 aperture, which is not segment-best but still offers decent photos in low lighting conditions. You can also rely on the AI Portrait Retouching feature to provide crisp, detailed images. Moreover, the camera app on this smartphone offers a wide range of shooting modes and filters. On the other hand, the 2MP depth sensor offers an excellent balance between focus and blur.
On the front, the smartphone houses an 8MP camera with f/2.0 aperture. You can also use OPPO’s beautification features to create self-portraits with natural-looking skin tones. In low light, the selfie camera can click decent images, adding to the phone’s appeal.
Battery life and performance
Under the hood, the OPPO A57 harnesses the power of a MediaTek Helio G35 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and up to 4GB of extended RAM. While it may not claim the title of the most powerful chipset on the market, the OPPO A57 delivers a commendable performance that easily handles day-to-day tasks and casual gaming. The processor has been manufactured using a 12nm process and consists of four Cortex-A53 cores clocking 2.3GHz, and four Cortex-A53 cores clocking 1.8GHz. The AI System Booster also provides an extra performance boost when needed, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience.
