Worth a post as an alternative to the 8t I posted this morning
Nice big battery on this
Key Features:
A Camera for Every Occasion
The OPPO A5 2020 fits five separate cameras into a single smartphone. A 12MP rear main lens for maximum photo resolution. An Ultra Wide 119° rear lens for panoramic pictures. Two rear lenses that provide artistic portrait effects. And a 8MP front lens featuring AI Beautification.
Widen Your Imagination
Capture bigger scenes in confined spaces with A5’s 119° Ultra Wide lens. Now everyone, and everything, can fit into a single photo with added depth and dimension.
360° Immersion in Sound
Surround yourself with full-bodied, clear sound even at full volume. With two speakers instead of only one, the A5 delivers rich audio ambiance since it’s also equipped with Dolby Atmos®.
Makes Everything Snappier
Working in tandem with A5’s 3GB of RAM, Snapdragon 665 provides faster performances while simultaneously lowering power consumption by 20%. Nowhere is this more evident than with Game Boost 2.0. It combines Frame Boost and Touch Boost for smoother, more responsive gaming.
All Day Use. Or Use it to Charge All Your Devices.
Talk about having power in the palm of your hand. Now you can watch HD videos on your phone non-stop for more than 11 hours. Plus A5’s 5000mAh Ultra Battery can even reverse charge all your other devices using an OTG cable.

sorted byYou can pretend its an iPhone 11, same resolution as that
Fair enough, but I wouldn't let that put you off, not visible to the naked eye in most instances.
This has Dual Sim AND memory card slots (nothing shared).
Be aware, this is a big, heavy phone!
Okay so
Redmi Note 8T has
* Better screen - 1080vs the 720 on A5
* Better Camera front and back
*18W charging this isnt stated for A5
Oppo A5 has
* bigger battery capacity (25%)
* more battery efficiency due to lower 720P screen
* 0.2 inch bigger screen which will negate some of battery efficiency from previous point
*Reverse charging
Everything else is the same, including chip sets.
I would say 1280x800 on an 8 inch tablet is the cut off point for resolution. 720 on a 6.5 is better than that. Although you can see the difference in resolution it doesn't actually make any differecr. ie I am typing this on a tablet as described above but also own a Samsung Note 4 (which is 2560x1440 on a 5.7 screen). Although I can clearly see the difference between those massively different resolutions it doesn't make any practical difference. The note 5 has a great screen but in reality it is mainly the OLED that is driving that.
Heated, as it's still a cracking deal
Probably the Xiaomi, but this for immense battery life.
Thanks a lot for the feedback.. Also noticed that the screen resolution on this one is only HD i.e. 720p so it is "no" from the misses straightaway..
oh.. we thought it would look terrible on such a big 6.5" screen.. we will give another thought as massive 5000mah is a strong point to consider.. cheers and thanks again

I've got an Xiaomi 7 - not bowled over by the camera, I would be tempted to try an Oppo next.
Bettter battery life and easier for low end chips to run. And cheaper obviously. (edited)
Where? I didn't see any deal today..
got it .. its on Switchy's same 8T deal page cheers
Defo a brilliant option for under £200. X
Has a gyro for VR and photospheres
Battery is nuts.. I can go 2 full days without charging it with average use. (edited)
Thanks for the feedback. My wife also owns note 4 and that is what I am replacing
Because market leader Apple doesn't compete on specs and they're selling tons. Market has realised that most their western customers are dumb and don't care about much innovation or specs, just marketing. I mean iPhone 11 is a £700 phone with a 720P LCD released in 2019...
