About this deal

At 162.9 x 74.7 x 8.4mm, this is the very definition of a regular-sized phone. It’s pretty chunky for a budget phone at 190g, which matches the Redmi Note 10 5G and tops the 185g Realme 8 5G. minutes of PUBG, meanwhile, sapped just 6% of a charge. That’s about half what a mid-range or flagship phone would consume, though of course such phones will be running With a typical brightness of 480 nits (the same as the Realme 8 5G), the Oppo A54 5G’s screen gets a little brighter than the gloomy Redmi Note 10 5G, though Oppo’s auto brightness system continues to be a little too aggressive for my taste. Still, its colours are a lot more vibrant than the Redmi’s, and seem less prone to washing out further when you tilt it off-axis. Camera

You can say more or less the exact same thing about the Oppo A54 5G’s battery as you can the Redmi Note 10 5G’s and the Realme 8 5G’s. It’ll clear a full day of usage with ease, even with an excess of screen-on time, and will likely stretch through a second day under moderate conditions. The Oppo A54 5G features a 48MP wide camera sensor, which is the same spec as its two budget 5G rivals. However, it has a marginally wider f/1.7 aperture. The other three cameras are less important, though, with the 8 megapixel camera giving you an ultra-wide but somewhat soft camera, while the remaining two — a 2 megapixel for macro and another 2 megapixel monochrome — hardly being interesting enough to warrant a look. The Oppo A54 5G feels good in your hand even if its plastic finish betrays the fact that this is a budget 5G phone through and through. It'll still show up every fingerprint going but we're starting to accept that this is just the price you pay for a nice finish - and the finish is nice, shifting color as it does under different light. This tool has the capability of resetting the hardware on your Oppo mobile phone and wiping out all of its data.The dimensions of the phone are 162.9 x 74.7 x 8.4mm, with the Oppo A54 5G weighing 190g. It's not a small phone but its design means it feels easy enough to hold. It's worth it for the screen which we'll get into shortly. In other words, the Oppo A54 5G is likely to perform a little better than its budget rivals when playing high-end 3D games for extended periods. Think PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact. In practical terms, booting up PUBG Mobile yielded mid-level presets of HD graphics and High Frame Rate, just like those aforementioned rivals. Jumping into a game, it hit the same kind of 30fps frame rate in the lobby, with the odd dip down to 28 or 29. There’s a very good reason for this shared spec. Many an early 5G phone has run afoul of 5G’s thirsty nature, powering down well before the day is done. Until 5G modems get more efficient, brute force seems to be the safest bet in securing better stamina.

Together with a particularly bland camera module, however, it’s nowhere near as appealing or premium-feeling as the Redmi Note 10 5G. Its shiny plastic rear material attracts greasy prints like nobody’s business, too. At 64GB, storage is a little low for this price but at least you can expand it via the microSD card slot. Battery life While the Realme 8 5G scored 1749 and the Redmi Note 10 5G scored 1677 in my Geekbench 5 multicore tests, the Oppo A54 5G could only manage 1578. That’s a CPU-focused test. It’s an all plastic phone that looks a little premium yet isn’t, though given the price, that’s hardly a surprise. Features The Oppo A54 5G has a decent sized battery of 5,000mAh. That means it easily lasts just over a day even with fairly heavy use. However, at just 10W charging can be a bit slow, with a full charge taking about 2 hours to complete. There's no fast charging support here and it shows.On the chip and memory side, there’s Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 480 5G processor, a budget eight-core 5G processor paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, the latter of which can be upgraded uses a microSD slot found in the phone alongside the nanoSIM tray. However, that does mean the A54’s brother, the Oppo A74 5G, is likely going to be the winner out of the two. Carrying what is practically an identical spec sheet save for RAM, storage and wired charging speed, the A74 is likely going to be the better simply because of the former, the memory equipped on the handset. The Oppo A54 5G runs off a 5000 mAh battery, which can be considered large when taking in the smartphone field as a whole. It’s exactly the same size as its budget 5G rivals listed above, however.

When it comes to media consumption, the Oppo A54 5G lost about 9% of its juice after an hour of Netflix streaming and 2% after an hour of YouTube Music streaming, which is a single percentage point worse than the Realme 8 5G in both cases. Allowing a certain margin for error, we can probably call that a draw. That’s cheaper than it’s ever been to get connected to broadband-like data speeds. The question I ask with each of these phones, though, is: at what cost? With a host of hardware compromises over similarly priced 4G phones, you have to really want that 5G functionality for this approach to make any sense. On a particularly light 15 hour day with just 2 hours 20 minutes of screen on time, we were left with more than 70% left in the tank. Days with more regular usage would drain closer to 50%. This is all comparable with its rivals, but it remains impressive within a wider smartphone context.If you have one of the aforementioned operating systems installed on your computer, you can execute it. Before installing the device, you must complete the following tasks.

Armed with only 4GB RAM, the Oppo A54 5G struggles to hit a stride, with a good half second to a second delay in some operations. Snap a screenshot and you’ll see it, and you might even see it when you jump from app to app. Even if it doesn’t become a problem while you type, it appears the 4GB RAM is just too small for Android and ColorOS to get its act together. General navigation is reasonably smooth regardless. As with the Oppo A54 5G’s rivals, apps can take a little long to boot up, though of course that’s only really noticeable if you’re coming from a more capable phone.
