Editorial report

Oppo A53 5G technical sheet

The Oppo A53 5G suits buyers looking for 5G connectivity who can live with a dimmer display and less battery capacity than most phones of its time. Peak brightness is 480 nits, lower than on most contemporaries. Its 4,040 mAh battery holds less than most, and 10 W charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time.

There are worthwhile strengths. The 6.5-inch display has a density of 405 ppi, higher than on most phones of its time, while its 175 g weight is lower than most. The 90 Hz refresh rate is average for the period. The main camera pairs a 16 MP sensor with an f/2.2 aperture, among the weakest of its time. It records 4K video at 30 fps and includes gyro-EIS.

Connectivity is better than on most phones launched around the same time: the A53 5G supports 5G, NFC and dual SIM. Its MediaTek Dimensity 720 is paired with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the listed AnTuTu result is 301,000. Storage is not expandable, and the phone has no Google Services. The overall NeoScore is 4.6, below average. This is a reasonable fit for someone who puts 5G and broad connectivity ahead of battery capacity, charging speed and a stronger camera specification.
