OPPO A53 evaluation: 5G is just an appetizer, and the parity can be very comprehensive.

Following OPPO A72, OPPO A series has ushered in a new 5G product, which is the brand-new OPPO A53. A53 is also an obvious product of OPPO A series brand, which is affordable, light and beautiful in design, excellent in workmanship, more surprising in screen image, good in 5G performance and so on. These intuitive qualities give us a completely different understanding of this thousand yuan mobile phone.

Of course, I think my friends are most concerned about the specific performance of OPPO A53 5G, so let's take a look with me!

1, appearance section

For OPPO mobile phones, design has always been a good show, no matter whether this mobile phone is a high-end flagship or a people-friendly parity machine.

OPPO A53 5G is available in three color versions: lake green, streamer purple and secret night black. The dark night in my hand is relatively calm, but there is no lack of youthful vitality and fashion sense. The color matching is simple, and the overall face value is very online. It's the kind of product whose design is not controversial.

The front of the mobile phone is still the mainstream left-handed hole-digging design. 6.5-inch screen rounded corners, more rounded. The borders on both sides are slightly narrower and the chin is slightly larger than the other three borders, but it does not affect the impression at all. This is the advantage of high screen ratio. The visual sense of a whole screen will never let everyone down.

The back shell design of OPPO A53 is very simple, except for the lens module and OPPO logo. The lens module adopts a square design scheme, and the three lenses+flash lights are arranged neatly in the upper right corner in pairs, which looks more regular. The lens module is not very abrupt, and there is no protruding feeling of high uplift, which makes people feel very comfortable both in look and feel.

In addition, OPPO A53 adopts a hidden side fingerprint unlocking scheme, which is also one of its outstanding features in appearance. The combination of fingerprint identification and power button is ingenious and looks more beautiful. In addition, due to the traditional capacitive fingerprint identification, the unlocking speed and accuracy of OPPO A53 are very high. The official said that the unlocking speed can reach 0.2S, and the actual experience is also done in one go, without that kind of hysteresis.

The bottom of the fuselage adopts USB Type-C charging interface, and a 3.5mm headphone jack is reserved, and the speakers are also concentrated here. On the left is the volume key and card slot, with dual card and dual standby design, which supports the expansion of memory card.

5G mobile phones are developing in the direction of thinness, and OPPO is familiar with this road. The thinness of OPPO A53 is quite good. The fuselage is only 7.9mm thick and weighs about 175 g. The 6.5-inch screen and 2.8D curved surface design with an excellent ratio of 20: 9 make the OPPO A53 feel surprisingly comfortable and can be easily held with one hand.

2. Performance part

The addition of MediaTek Tianji 720 has brought excellent 5G performance. Tianji 720 is an active mid-range 5G processor, and many models are in use. This processor uses TSMC's 7 nm process technology. The CPU is ARM A76 architecture, the main frequency reaches 2.0GHz, and the GPU part is ARM G57 MC3. The comprehensive experience is still worthy of recognition.

Jisu 5G network experience

Thanks to the blessing of Tianji 720, OPPO A53 has achieved rare 5G performance, supporting SA/ NSA dual-mode 5G, covering the domestic mainstream 5G frequency band, and also supporting 4G+5G dual-network online, which means that OPPO A53 supporting dual-card dual standby can be compatible with one 5G and one 4G card. Of course, both card 1 and card 2 support 5G, which is more convenient and flexible.

As usual, we also tested the 5G network speed of OPPO A53. The following are the real-time test results of the professional network speed evaluation software Speedtest:

Speedtest 5G test

It can be seen that the downlink 5G rate of OPPO A53 reaches 63 1Mbps/s, and the uplink rate reaches102 Mbps/s. Frankly speaking, although this achievement is in line with the expected performance of 5G network speed, it does not reflect the highest 5G rate level of Tianji 720. During the test, it is not difficult to find that OPPO A53 only has 8ms ping delay and 3ms jitter, which means that it has higher potential to be tapped, but it is difficult to run out of the highest speed due to the operator's package settings. Even so, the performance of OPPO A53 has surpassed many other 5G mobile phones tested in the same place, and the performance of 5G can be seen.

At the same time, under the 5G network, the glory of the king can be downloaded through the app store, with the highest download speed of 5 1.3 MB/s and 1.92GB, and the download takes only about 40 seconds.

Although the 5G network is developing rapidly, it can't perfectly replace the 4G network, especially in some signal "blind areas", and there will be embarrassing disconnection. The intelligent 5G technology of OPPO A53 can help us solve these problems.

Simply understand, intelligent 5G technology can automatically detect the surrounding signal environment, and can automatically switch between 4G and 5G in some places with poor signal, such as high-speed rail, subway, elevator and underground parking lot. It is worth noting that this switching will not destroy the current network environment and greatly avoid the risk of disconnection when brushing videos, playing games and sending and receiving information. In addition, Smart 5G adopts 5G intelligent scheduling mechanism, which balances the problem of battery life decline caused by extremely fast network speed and solves 5G.

The game performance is worth a try.

OPPO A53 only locates the mid-range thousand yuan machine, but the hardware configuration is not bad. In addition to Tianji 720, OPPO A53 also supports up to 6GB of storage (memory specification LPDDR4) and 128GB of space storage (flash memory specification UFS2. 1). In order to let everyone know the performance of the cat 720 more intuitively, we might as well use one first.

Everyone saw the test results. The running score of OPPO A53 Ann Bunny is 252320. Specifically, the running scores of each sub-item are OPPO a53c pu 83684, GPU 62076, UX 47376, MEM 59 184, which is in line with the expected running scores of Tianji 720.

In terms of games, frankly speaking, it is difficult to compare the game performance with that of flagship machine simply by using OPPO A53. However, if the requirements for game quality are not so strict, and only a smooth and stable frame rate experience is required, then the secret 720 can still be used in World War I. Here, we have done a frame rate test with two games, the glory of the king and Peace Elite. Let's take a look at the actual performance of OPPO A53.

The first is the glory of the king. From the test results, after the game quality is adjusted to the highest, its frame number performance is basically stable at around 58FPS, and the performance is still very smooth. Even in the case of team battle, all kinds of skills are all over the screen, it can still maintain a good number of frames, and there is no obvious jam. It can be said that the performance of OPPO A53 is a qualified the glory of the king, which will not affect the player's experience.

Next is the peace elite. Compared with the glory of the king, the Peace Elite has higher requirements for configuration and performance, which also poses greater challenges to OPPO A53. In terms of image quality, you can choose to compare the frame number settings of "HD" and "High". Although it is not the highest, this setting will better meet the game experience, which can not only maintain good image quality, but also will not cause large frame rate fluctuations.

The test results show that the average frame rate of OPPO A53 can reach 30fps with "high" image quality. During the whole game, whether parachuting to a city with dense buildings, long-distance driving or fierce team battles, the number of frames is very stable, and there is no expected frame drop. In short, there is no problem in playing "Peace Elite" with OPPO A53. Players who like this game can start with confidence.

3, the screen part

Compared with a smooth performance experience, users are often very concerned about the visual performance of the screen. The screen quality of OPPO A53 is good, and the resolution is 2400 1080, which is the standard FHD+ level. At the same time, it also supports high refresh rate of 90Hz, touch sampling rate of 120Hz and intelligent frame rate switching.

Nowadays, the high refresh rate screen is no longer exclusive to the flagship product, and the mid-range machine can also enjoy this high frame rate experience that helps to enhance the visual perception. OPPO A53 supports a 90Hz refresh rate screen. Compared with the traditional 60Hz, it displays 50% more content per second. The most direct feeling is to be more process-oriented, real and immersive.

With the addition of high frame rate, OPPO A53 has higher cost performance and better screen experience. It's refreshing to brush WeChat, read information, play games and follow dramas every day, which are not available on traditional 60Hz screens.

But then again, the high frame rate experience is cool, but the endurance pressure is also greater. How to strike a balance between high-frame experience and battery life, manufacturers have also given their own solutions. In this regard, OPPO A53 has added an intelligent frame rate switching function to automatically select the best screen resolution according to different scenarios and different application requirements, so as to ensure a high frame rate experience and further extend the battery life of the mobile phone.

Intelligent frame rate switching

In addition to the high frame rate experience, the screen of OPPO A53 also supports the sunlight screen, which can be triggered at different ambient light intensities. This function can adjust every pixel on the screen in real time, reduce the contrast of overexposed areas and increase the contrast of dark areas, thus ensuring that users can clearly see the displayed content even in strong sunlight.

It is worth mentioning that in order to pursue a comfortable high-screen experience, OPPO A53 will upgrade the automatic dimming level to 4096, while ordinary mobile phones only have the level of 1024, which brings smoother and more delicate brightness switching, accurately controls the best brightness of each frame of the picture, preserves more details of the dark parts, and enriches the picture hierarchy.

Lux automatic brightness

Thanks to the excellent AI performance of OPPO A53, in the automatic backlight adjustment mode, AI will automatically adjust the backlight according to your personal preference and perception of brightness when necessary by learning the habit of users manually adjusting the backlight, which is very user-friendly.

OISE ultra-clear visual effect

At the same time, OPPO A53 is also equipped with OISE ultra-clear visual effects. The addition of this function further enhances the audio-visual experience of OPPO A53. OISE ultra-clear visual effect is a visual optimization technology independently developed by OPPO, which can be used for short video optimization. If the video is blurred or distorted, the video picture will become clearer and the color will be brighter. This function currently supports popular short video APP platforms such as WeChat, Aauto Quicker, Volcano, Microvision, and Beauty Shot, and OISE Super Clear Visual Effect itself has become an out-and-out short video artifact.

4. Image part

With the rapid development of computational photography, we have to look at the image performance of mid-range computers with new eyes, and OPPO A53 is a typical representative.

Let's take a look at the lens configuration of OPPO A53, the front 8MP pixel camera, the aperture F/2.0, and the intelligent beauty scheme. The rear 16MP ultra-clear main camera +2MP macro lens +2MP black-and-white portrait lens supports AI super night scene mode, 1 100 million ultra-clear pixel mode, portrait mode and macro mode. Considering its positioning, this lens configuration is still very interesting.

In the super night scene mode, OPPO A53 really exceeded my personal expectations. Super night scene mode brings a more convenient way to take pictures. Facing the wonderful night scene, users can record the wonderful moments by hand as long as they turn on the night scene mode, and the photo quality is not low. Let's share some night scene samples for everyone to see.

Night scene mode

Night scene mode

As can be seen from the proofs, the night scene mode of OPPO A53 still controls the light very well, and the far and near light are exposed to different degrees, without the feeling of blurring and serious smear, which restores more real details. In addition, in some dark areas, details are also preserved, and the processing of dark noise is also excellent. Just looking at the photos, it's hard to imagine that this is a mid-range product.

Of course, although the hand-taken night scene sample is not bad, if you want to pursue higher night shooting quality, you can also use a tripod to assist shooting. In tripod mode, longer exposure time and synthesis time can be obtained, which further improves the quality of night photos.

Night view mode (tripod)

It is worth mentioning that OPPO A53 also supports the ultra-clear image quality function, and adopts the super-resolution algorithm to take a photo of 1 100 million pixels through multi-frame synthesis. The picture has more details and the photos are clearer. A sample as high as 1 100 million pixels can be taken as a piece by randomly intercepting one of them, which is more conducive to the creator's secondary creation and meets different creative needs.

In addition to 1 100 million pixel mode, OPPO A53 also supports portrait mode and macro mode. And support up to 6 portrait styles to take photos with different feelings.

portrait mode

We noticed that there is also a 200-pixel black-and-white portrait lens in the rear three shots of OPPO A53, which means that OPPO A53 can take black-and-white portrait photos with higher texture.

Black and white portrait

In the same scene, the black-and-white portrait proofs output by OPPO A53 show a more advanced fashion texture in retro. Because it is an independent black and white lens, it is still very different from the well-known black and white filter. The picture level is more distinct, with higher definition and portrait optimization, it is easy to shoot a large piece of texture.

In addition to the rear lens supporting portrait shooting, I believe most young women are more concerned about the self-portrait effect of the front lens. The front camera of OPPO A53 can provide intelligent beauty solutions according to different scenes such as color temperature, brightness, and front and rear light. Intelligent skin color extraction technology and intelligent photometry method are used to extract and adjust skin color respectively, and different skin color adjustments are made according to different lighting environments, so as to achieve a true and natural beauty effect. The following is a self-portrait effect test.

Qian AI beauty selfie

8 million active cameras, newly upgraded AI beauty function * * *, OPPO A53 self-timer imaging is very good. Even in the dark room, Miss Sister's skin color has not been affected, but it is whiter and more delicate. Some shadows, hair details, blurred background, etc. Her face has also been preserved, and the clarity and purity of the portrait part have also been maintained at a high level. In addition, different portrait styles also bring completely different self-portrait feelings, each style conveys different emotions, and everyone can find their own self-portrait style and meet the most beautiful self.

After talking about portraits, let's take a look at macro mode. OPPO A53 is equipped with a macro lens alone, which can shoot finer microscopic details with macro mode.

Macro mode

Macro mode

As can be seen from the macro pattern proofs above, the picture quality is still very clear, both the vein texture of leaves and the stamen details of flowers are preserved, the light and shade levels are very clear, and the color control is also in place.

Judging from the above proofs, the image function of OPPO A53 is still outstanding, especially in the same mobile phone. On the one hand, OPPO has formed a mature system on the image road, and products in all price segments can get the best image performance; On the other hand, thanks to the excellent combination of software and hardware, the image level of OPPO A53 can also be leapfrogged.

5. Endurance part

Whether it is 5G or high screen, it is an out-and-out power consumer, and battery life naturally becomes a common concern of users.

Although OPPO A53 is very light and thin, with a body thickness of only 7.9mm, it still has a large battery of 4040mAh, which ensures its endurance. According to the usual practice, here we still conducted a 5-hour restart test of OPPO A53 at 100% power, and the test results are as follows:

From the results, after five hours of unremitting "tossing", OPPO A53 finally has 4 1% of electricity, of which one hour of game testing consumes 17%, photography consumes 7% and video consumes 9%. The overall endurance performance is still very good, which fully meets the long-term endurance needs of everyone in work, study, audio-visual entertainment.

Super power saving mode

Of course, even if the power is really low, you don't have to worry about the power problem. OPPO A53 also provides a super power saving mode. In this mode, OPPO A53 will start a stricter power saving strategy. You can choose six commonly used softwares to maintain the basic functions of the mobile phone, among which phone, information and clock are the default values, and you can also choose to replace the default values or add three other apps. This mode will remind the user to start when the power is only 10% or 5%. Of course, you can turn it on by yourself through the voice assistant or under the setting function.

Finally have something to say:

From the actual experience, although the overall positioning of OPPO A53 is low, it is not a new product rushed to the market in pursuit of 5G, nor is it a product that ignores the user experience in pursuit of cost performance. It can be said that in this price segment, OPPO A53 has achieved a balanced development, and has a very bright performance in 5G, performance, image and battery life. Faced with it, users don't need to do any more multiple-choice questions. "Value for money" is probably the case.

Undoubtedly, the appearance of OPPO A53 has further accelerated the popularization of 5G, and its relatively favorable price and uncompromising experience will obviously become the benchmark in the current tide of 5G replacement. I believe more consumers will be willing to accept it. So at the end of the year, if you or your family also have plans to start a 5G entry model, OPPO A53 will obviously be a good choice.
