NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Oppo A6 4G and Oppo A6 5G tie at an overall score of 5.6, but they suit different buyers: the 4G model is the better fit for a 7,000 mAh battery and reverse charging, while the 5G model is for 5G, 12GB of RAM, and higher Geekbench performance.
The Oppo A6 5G reaches 782 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 2,012 in multi-core, versus 473 and 1,510 for the A6 4G. It also has 12GB RAM versus 8GB, Bluetooth 5.4 versus Bluetooth 5.0, and rear video at 1080p at 60 fps rather than 30 fps. Its display adds HDR10+, DCI-P3, and a frameless design, while the 4G uses IPS LCD with capacitive touch.
The Oppo A6 4G answers with 7,000 mAh versus 6,500 mAh and adds reverse charging; both support 45W charging and 68 hours per cycle. The 5G adds 5G connectivity and a 3.5 mm audio jack, while both share IP68, IP69, UFS 2.2 storage, and 256GB maximum storage. The choice is therefore battery and reverse charging, or 5G and more memory.
