Editorial report

Oppo A53 technical sheet

The Oppo A53 suits buyers who value a large battery and generous memory, but its 34,985 AnTuTu points rank among the weakest for phones of its time. That is the main compromise for anyone prioritizing processing performance. Its overall NeoScore is 4.6.

The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px, 270 ppi and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Its pixel density is lower than that of most phones of its time, while 90 Hz is average. Memory is a strong point: 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage exceed what most phones of its time offer.

The 13 MP rear camera uses a 1/3.06″ sensor, among the smallest in phones of its time, and an f/2.2 aperture, among the dimmest. There is no optical zoom. Its 5,000 mAh battery holds more capacity than most phones of its time; 18 W charging is average. At 186 g, the phone weighs less than most phones of its time.

The Oppo A53 includes dual Nano-SIM, NFC, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio, though its connectivity is below average among phones of its time. Android 10 completes a package best suited to buyers who put battery capacity and memory ahead of benchmark performance and camera hardware.
