Oppo A57 Review: Massive Battery For Budget Users :
Design:
The striped geometric pattern on the rear adds aesthetic flair. Build quality felt average for plastic. The 6.51-inch HD+ LCD displayed crisp visuals while getting bright enough outdoors. Side-mounted fingerprint reader integrated with power key responded quickly.
Performance:
Powered by the Unisoc T618 chipset coupled with 6GB RAM, basic workflows like browsing, calling and casual games went smoothly. However, heavy games pushed it to stutter. Multitasking was managed well by sufficient RAM.
Cameras:
The triple rear camera setup holds a 13MP main, 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensor. Daylight shots were detailed with accurate colors though HDR processing could be improved. Lowlight images captured average quality with noise. Selfies from 8MP came out satisfactory enough.
A key highlight was the massive 5,000mAh battery delivering easily over a day's worth of usage on a single charge. Even with intensive camera, gaming and media sessions, it handled daily charge cycles adeptly.
Verdict:
Priced around Rs. 12,999, the Oppo A57 gives strong battery performance and an aesthetic look for budget smartphones. Basic day-to-day use remains snag-free with no heavy-duty tasks. Its no-frills package presents good value for money.
