Oppo A95 5G 
The mid-range category of smartphones has already been saturated with different offerings and these phones aim to hit that sweet spot between functionality and affordability. Oppo offers another model into the mix in the form of the a95 and after spending months with it. We now have a full idea. What does it offer so should you get it for yourself and how does it perform daily.This is our oppo a95 long-term review to kick things off.
Oppo a95,its design
The left also houses its dual sim slot with additional space for MicroSD. Meanwhile at the bottom are the audio jack usbc port and speaker grille. The chassis itself feels solid but the glossy coating could get smudgy at times at less than eight millimeters thick.It's not too much on the hand that is nice to hold due to its size. It's also got a good weight to it and sits on the hand securely and I had no experience mishandling it over the past months moving on.It comes with a 6.43-inch display with the Full HD plus resolution and a maximum of 60hz refresh rate at a 90.8 screen to body ratio. Its AMOLED panel produces detailed and sharp images in addition to having vibrant colors speaking of colors.You can choose between going for an srgb color profile for its display or you can also go for d3 for more accurate use thanks to a wider color gamut in addition to streaming your favorite tv shows and movies in HD is possible thanks to its widevine l1 certification. We have reviewed phones in the past that don't have this feature so with it present on the a95 binge-watchers can rest assured that you'll enjoy high definition streaming on this device.
It also comes with eye care features to lessen the strain on the eyes for longer periods of usage and for security an in-display fingerprint scanner is available. I just find it a little slower than other phones. I've tested but after a long time of using it. You get used to it eventually and it doesn't affect the overall experience that much while visuals were made sure to deliver detailed and punchy colors. Its audio quality doesn't cut it for me. The single firing speaker grille produced decent audio at best and its loud volumes couldn't handle themselves well sound is easily distorted and it lacks bass but of course. You really couldn't expect much from built-in speakers it's just that I've heard better ones on other phones although one solution to solve all your audio problems is by using a pair of headphones either wirelessly or through. Its 3.5-millimeter audio jack handling the camera department is a 48-megapixel main sensor accompanied by the depth and macro sensors both at 2 megapixels. It shoots decent photos and comes with different shooting modes like portrait time-lapse slow-motion expert and night. It also has tools like hdr and ai to further boost images taken but with the entire time of using its cameras. I was able to conclude that sticking to its normal mode without ai or hdr produced the best shots overall and while it's true that turning on hdr reveals more details, especially in darker areas, and ai determines the scene and boosts colors accordingly. They both could go overboard at times and easily make the images look over-processed.Meanwhile sticking to its normal shooting mode produced images that are closer to what they look like in real life. However, there certainly are times that hdr is the way to go case in point capturing this breathtaking landscape. While the sun sets its macro feature is there.When you need it but don't expect the same quality of having a macro lens on a dedicated DSLR for example since what you get are decent macro images at best and for its depth sensor.
It does a good job of distinguishing the subject from the background but of course strands of hair can be tricky as with a lot of other phones producing digital bokeh. What you'll mostly be using here as I did is the main camera with the option to go for digitally zooming in but I do not zoom in a lot. When I shoot on phones because of the loss in quality so during my entire time with the a95 I was just using its main camera in its default wide mode.Now I know. It's not as versatile as other smartphone cameras with ultra-wide-angle or telephoto lenses but the a95 produces overall decent night shots colors do get smudgy. This is very common for low light smartphone photos but overall shows a lot of details which is more than what you'll need for casual shooting for its 16-megapixel front camera. I don't usually take a lot of selfies but they are sharp and come with beautification filters and retouches. The skin shooting against the light preserved good details as well although usually at the expense of blowing the background at the core of the a95 is a snapdragon 662 with a unique 8 gigabytes plus 5 gigabytes of ram. This means, it comes with an extra 5 gigabytes of memory for an expansion, and to help maintain a smooth performance for storage a 128-gigabyte space is ready for all your files true enough this tandem worked together and achieved an almost lag-free experience across months general usage was fast switching between apps are easy tasks and navigating through its android 11 based os was a smooth sailing affair it's just.When we push its internals running heavy games that we see its limitations for example loading a graphics-heavy title like gentian impact limited us to only play on low graphics settings for things to be enjoyable and even so lags and frame drops are common although switched to other popular games like mobile legends and it's once again running smoothly. The phone can even run the game on an ultra-high refresh rate with really fluid movements and minimal lags with over three months of using it. I didn't experience any slowing down in terms of navigation or even opening and loading software but I did notice.It getting warmer than around my first month with it. It's nothing to be worried about it's just that I don't remember the device getting this warm and there's been nothing different with the apps or software that I've been running but moving on. I was able to eventually appreciate features like its game assist and its bullet notifications that bring an uninterrupted gaming experience by managing notifications for security both its fingerprint sensor and face unlock have been reliable but I mostly use its fingerprint sensor to unlock the device especially outdoors. When I'm wearing a masked battery is rated at 5 000 milliamp hours and comes with 33-watt fast charge support that the company calls flash charge performance is great and thanks to its large capacity and software optimizations. The phone can easily last a day's work on a single charge. I also subjected it to our standard battery test by streaming a high-resolution video with 50 brightness and no volume and the a95 was able to last more than 16 hours of playback which is above average in our tests. Meanwhile charging is kept to an hour to top up its battery from empty and we have its flash charge to think for me. I charge it every night before going to bed so in the morning. I have a fresh pack ready to go and as always in our reviews, the modern creatures aim to find special features and devices that make them worth having their creature feature and for the oppo a95. It would have to be its long-lasting battery and wide vine l1 certification thanks to its efficient software and capable hardware.The a95 can last longer before needing to be charged again. So you can enjoy streaming HD content on the device for extended periods while it doesn't carry groundbreaking camera attacks or the latest processor.It can easily be a great everyday phone. That's reliable to last you the entire day and can handle the leisure or work that you're gonna use it for.
