OPPO A55 Review

Score: 64.3 / 100

OPPO A55 is a very solid Android device released a few years ago, including a huge 6.5-inches screen, an extremely powerful 2300 MHz Octa-Core CPU, a 50 MP back side camera and a 16 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

This cellphone is quite a compact cellphone, considering it packs a 6.5" screen and it's only 6.44 inches long and 2.98" wide. This phone is extremely thin and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.33". Oppo made the OPPO A55 in green, rainbow blue and starry black.

Oppo decided to equip this cellphone with a Mediatek Helio G35 MT6765G (12 nm) system chip, holding a very fast 2300 MHz Octa-Core CPU and a big 4 GB of RAM. A good advantage of the OPPO A55 is the 64 GB huge internal storage and even though it doesn't include an SD extension slot, it it is more than enough to store hundreds of apps without thinking about filling the device.

This phone has two cameras, a 50 mega-pixels back side camera and a 16 megapixels front camera.

This cellphone is equipped with a interesting 6.5" display with a 720 x 1600 resolution, which makes all pictures and movies look very good.

This device counts with Wi-Fi connection (which can be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A 4G super quick connectivity and also HSPA+ internet connection (which is a lower speed 4G network) and 3G fast connection type, over HSDPA technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM services.

This phone also includes many interesting features as Fingerprint Scanner, NFC, Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth cellphones and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This device has a 5000 mAh large Dual Nano SIM non-replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for many hours without charging it at all. An issue to consider is that this device's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to lose capacity, although with such a great capacity you will probably buy a new cellphone before it becomes a real problem.

No matter if you will use it as a gamer device, you love taking photographs, will use this phone majorly for social networks and internet browsing or will use it as a work device, this device is a great choice for you.
