Oppo A15: Affordable Smartphone with Impressive Specs and Camera

The Oppo A15 is an entry-level smartphone that puts a nice range of features at one’s disposal for its price. It gives users the interface and comfort of the latest apps as well as software updates, since it runs on Android v10.0.

This smartphone is super slim, at just 7.9 mm thick, and easy to hold and use. At just 175g, it’s a real lightweight, so it is absolutely comfortable to carry around for long stretches of time.

Display and Design

The Oppo A15 comes with a 6.52-inch IPS LCD that has a resolution of 720×1600 pixels. In general, not the best image quality for the given price but bright and color-accurate enough in its presentation for day-to-day performance.

The pixel density of 269 ppi does not bring out sharp images but should be more than enough for video playback and casual social media browsing.

The Waterdrop-notch at the top of the front screen holds the front camera so that more is left out for a bigger display.

Camera Features

One of the first things that the Oppo A15 really boasts of in terms of hardware is its triple rear camera setup. It sports a 13MP main camera and comes with two 2MP lenses further dedicated to depth and macro shots.

Of course, it can’t be said to be the best in the current market, but under good lighting, it gets the job done. The Oppo A15 also can do 1080p video recording at 30fps, which always comes in handy for more casual video makers.

The front is equipped with a 5MP selfie camera. Decent for video calls and basic selfies, though in low-light it may tend to falter.

The Oppo A15 delivers well enough to cater to the day-to-day photography needs but does not stand out in terms of advanced features or capabilities.

Performance and Storage

The Oppo A15 utilizes an under-the-hood MediaTek Helio P35 chipset accompanied by a 2.3 GHz speed and its octa-core processor. This ensures that the basic functions such as running applications, browsing, and light multitasking are very smooth.

The phone comes in 3GB RAM, though on the lower side but manageable.

Battery Life

Another significant feature of Oppo A15 is its battery life. The battery power is 4230mAh and more than sufficient for a whole day, in case the user makes moderate usage of the phone. However, fast charging is not supported, and from 0% to 100%, it takes some time to charge.
