You rarely see small and sleek phones that tick all the boxes of a dependable all-day-use phone. The 5.2-inch, HD, 3GB RAM, true dual SIM (plus micro SD slot), 3000-mAh OPPO A71 might be the compact budget phone you need, at only P8990. It’s got a good grip, is very light, its front and rear cameras deliver good images at this price point, and the package comes with a free transparent case and pre-installed screen protector (buy it, unbox it, use it right away).
The OPPO A71
- has a 13MP 1/3.06 sensor size rear camera with multi-frame de-noising, for better low light shooting output
- gets you good selfies with the 5MP front camera with 1.4 µm pixel size, for detailed shots and better HDR output (also, filters, selfie panorama, and bokeh features add a rich range of options)
- features an expert photography mode, which allows manual touches on white balance, exposure level, ISO, shutter speed, and focus (also, Ultra HD mode can take 52MP images)
- combines a not-power-hungry HD display plus a big 3,000 mAh battery, for no-powerbank-worry all day stamina
- allows the use of split-screen for using two apps at once (such as a browser and a video streaming app)
- comes with an octa-core processor plus 3GB of RAM for smooth multi-tasking (also, OPPO’s custom skin, Color OS 3.1, is optimized to speed things up).
