The current relatively rare 4G product line, the Redmi 10 was introduced earlier, followed by the new A-series A55, which is relatively more entry-level by OPPO. It also has major options such as large screen and long-lasting battery life. This is also a feature that almost must be standard on the main line of people-friendly models. Although we did not compare the Redmi 10 this time, the two machines are almost the same on the route. Will there be different feelings and surprises? Whether it can resist Redmi's CP value advantage is what this article will introduce.

The A55 is equipped with a 6.51-inch LCD aperture screen, accounting for 89.2%, with a brightness of 480 / 550nits under sunlight. It is a pity that the resolution is only HD+ and there is no adjustable update rate. This is quite different from the Redmi 10.

The display settings are almost the same as this year's OPPO models equipped with ColorOS 11.1 OS, but the display mode, update rate, etc. are missing. It can be seen that the A55 is obviously an entry-level positioning.

The screen only has HD+ resolution, so it is impossible for the BAT54LPS-7 to support HDR... Here is also a viewing example on Youtube, but it is actually quite usable in terms of 6.5 inches. , just no FHD+ is really a shame.

The A55 is available in Star Diamond Black and Iridescent Blue. Iridescent blue, as the name suggests, can see that the fuselage is based on blue, with a large area of gradual glare like a rainbow. Although this picture is not clear, it will run out when the light is harder.

I also got crystal diamond black this time, so I will show you all along the way. Also the same as the name, with black as the base, there will also be a crystal like diamond. This concept should be somewhat derived from the Reno Glow crystal diamond process, right? In addition, the back of the machine is also different from rainbow blue, which is similar to a mirror. Instead, it is a matte texture commonly used in many products recently.

I used both hands to get a good touch of the two phones. You can see that the fingerprints on the rainbow blue are almost invisible. As for the crystal black, it is a little bit, but the fingerprints are not obvious, and the dust is relatively impossible.

The middle frame is made of matte material, and the rainbow blue and crystal diamond black are different in color. There are no objects on the top of the machine, and a speaker hole, USB-C port, mic and 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom of the machine; the left side is the card eject slot, the volume button, and the right side is the power button that integrates fingerprint unlocking.

camera

Different from the redmi 10, which is relatively complete, the A55 has only a single 50MP f/1.8 wide-angle lens in the main camera, and the other two are 2MP macro and monochrome portrait lenses, lacking an ultra-wide-angle lens. The wide-angle specs may not be so good, but some are better than none... The front lens of the A55 is a fairly common 16MP f/2.0 spec.

Portrait mode is the most unfortunate place for me. The portrait mode of the main lens has no streamer or monochrome filter, but it is understandable that there is no beauty mode..

The front lens provides the beauty function, but it is not a custom AI beauty, but a 100% standard model. I feel that it is a bit castrated. After all, OPPO's beauty has always been praised a lot.

real shot

Since the A55 only has one wide-angle lens, here is a direct look at the difference between the general mode and the portrait mode. First of all, the biggest difference is that the portrait mode is the same as the early OPPO or other mobile phones. After the portrait mode is turned on, it will be forced to cut, maybe it is to emphasize the sense of compression... But I prefer shooting at the original focal length; However, the blurring of the background and foreground of this group is quite impressive, but there are still flaws in the potted section.

Next, let’s take a look at the performance of the portrait lens in a cloudy sky. The following two pictures were taken on a park slide with a super complex background. You can see the full gap error area. The A55 detected and photographed the results quite well! It's surprising. The overall color will not be too saturated, but pay attention to the fact that the lens is not anti-shake. In fact, it is quite easy to experience micro-shocks in my own testing.

These two photos are a little backlit, plus the indoor shooting with relatively low light. It can be seen that the direction of HDR adjustment will be more biased towards the bright part, the brightness of the dark part will not be improved significantly, and the details in the well-lit part of the picture quality part are generally visible, but the dark part is like hair, although there is no such noise or explosion. It's all blurred, but the details are barely visible, just black.

OPPO can be said to be the ancestral 16MP selfie lens. Even if there is no custom beauty, the result is absolutely usable. Just pay attention to the fact that glare is more likely to appear in the backlight, and the contrast will become lower. You can take advantage of this feature if you want to shoot a dreamy feeling, but be careful not to make your face blurred...

The night scene mode is the same as the portrait, and it can be seen that it will be cropped like the earlier mobile phones. However, I just saw the performance of the daytime image quality in the dark part, and the details of the night scene will be looser; it will improve after turning on the night scene mode, but overall it is a relatively entry-level level, and it is actually enough to put it on a social platform. used.

Function

The A55 settings are no different from this year's OPPO phones. First of all, the Sim card part supports 4G + 4G dual card dual standby, and has basic VoLTE and Wi-Fi calls, as well as built-in call recording.

Wi-Fi is equipped with Wi-Fi 5Ghz, which is also standard at present, and has Bluetooth 5.0 and other connections. A55 does not have NFC near field communication function. In fact, this situation is rarely seen in Chinese mobile phone manufacturers. Saw.

The core specification of the A55 is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G35 processor, which is a bit different from the G88 of the redmi 10. And equipped with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM + 64GB ROM. AnTuTu V9.2.3 has a score of 102,576 points, and 3DMark's Wild Life mode is not even supported. It can only run in Sling Shot Exterme mode, with a score of 481 points.

The A55 has a built-in 5,000mAh battery, and the accompanying transformer supports 9V 2A, 18W, which is also the specification of the current entry-level model.

The actual PCMark 3.0 test was done with the screen brightness at 50%, connected to Wi-Fi and turned off Bluetooth, and positioning, but the test still has a flashback at the end, and I will try it a few more times in the future... Here first No more test results.

Under the same conditions, the power is consumed to 10%, and it is charged with the original charger. It takes about 2:35 to fully charge, which is the level of 18W.

summary

Although the market is now full of 5G mobile phones, and various telecom manufacturers have many solutions, I believe that there are still many consumers who have not upgraded simultaneously (like my main door number is still 4G...) , If you want to take a step further, or want to give children, elders, or even a mobile phone product that is not afraid of damage, and can be used to send friends' articles with long power, you may also consider including A55, which is now a rare 4G phone type.

However, the price and positioning of the A55 and the Redmi 10 introduced earlier are at the same level, but the specifications are almost only the power, the screen size is the same level, the rest is the hardware specifications, the number and functions of the cameras, the A55 They are all slightly inferior to the Redmi 10. If the screen quality can at least reach FHD, and the camera function will not matter the number of lenses, at least the AI beauty or portrait should be given, I believe the A55 will be more competitive.
