Editorial report

Oppo A59 technical sheet

The Oppo A59 suits buyers seeking a simple, light and slim 5G phone for everyday tasks. Its main trade-off is the camera: the 13 MP rear camera is worse than most phones of its time, while its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest. Optical image stabilization is also absent.

Its 6.56-inch IPS LCD display runs at 90 Hz, worse than most phones of its time but smoother than a 60 Hz panel. The 269 ppi density and 720-nit brightness are also worse than most. The 187 g, 8.1 mm body is lighter and thinner than most phones of its time.

The MediaTek Dimensity 6020, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage make a basic configuration; its 390,000 AnTuTu score is typical for its time. Storage is expandable. Connectivity is broad, with 5G, dual SIM, Bluetooth 5.3 and several navigation systems. The 5,000 mAh battery and 33 W charging are typical as well.

With a NeoScore of 4.8, the Oppo A59 is worse than most phones of its time overall. It fits buyers who prioritize 5G, connectivity and a manageable body over camera capability.
