Oppo A54 5G | Unboxing & A74 5G Comparison By Tech Spurt

Hello gorgeous peeps, I'm Chris from techs pert and another day. Another budget blower has hit the UK say hello to the Oppo a54 5g, the successor to the excellent Oppo a53. Now, with a bit of hot 5g action, 4. You've got some pretty solid specs, packed into the Oppo a54 for a 219 pound price point, including a 90 hertz display you've got a snapdragon chipset and a 5 000 William mega battery operas onwards, not mine. So what I'm going to do now is whip. The Oppo ear 54 5g on out of the box, take you on a full on tour of the hardware and the software, and also compare it to the Oppo a74 5g, which has just emerged at the same time, costing a little more to see what the difference between the two is and for more on the latest and greatest tech.

Please do poke subscribe and ding that notifications bell cheers, so you should be able to grab the Oppo a54 5g here in the UK imminently from Oppo direct or from the likes of Amazon and stuff. As usual and inside the box, you have one a54, a super white power, adapter, a just as white type c, USB cable and oppose even bundle. The pair of wired headphones in here, which, unsurprisingly, are very, very white and yet thankfully, not type c USB headphones they're, the proper 3.5 mil because you do have a headphone jack on the Oppo a54 and, as usual, Oppo has kindly shoved in a condom kiss as well. So you can keep your ear 54 safe from harm right box done now the phone now, as you can see here, if you stick the Oppo ear, 54 5g side by side with its more expensive sibling, the Oppo ear, 74 5g you'd, probably bloody struggle to tell them apart, because they are essentially identical. What you get here is once again a 190 gram, plastic chassis available in just a couple of different colors.

This is the fluid black model, or you can also grab it in fantastic purple which might be slightly over selling it. It's not exactly The Fantastic Four or anything here, but it's it looks quite nice despite being constructed from plastic, the Oppo or 54 5g. Certainly feels reasonably durable, certainly there's no obvious flex or anything like that on there you do have quite a shiny, rear surface is the only problem, so it does sort of pickup greasy marks and prints. Although the black finish and the fact that you've got kind of a frosted glaze to it does help to uh to mask the worst of it. You've got an edge mounted fingerprint sensor built into that power button there on the side, and you've got yes glory, be a headphone jack down below right.

Alongside that type c, USB port, okay, so the Oppo a54 5g is set up. I see a setup, there's still quite a lot of setup action left to do, because, although it is running the latest freshest android 11 oses, you do have the color OS 11 slapped on top, which means that by default you don't get the likes of an actual apps' tray. So dudes you spend a good amount of time setting up any upper smartphone. So it's got that more stock, android sort of vibe, starting with actually bringing back that bloody apps' tray, and there we go now. We can start dealing with all of this clutter, get all these messy apps tidied away on the case of something like Facebook and tick-tock, I'm just gonna straight up, get rid of the bloody things.

The good thing about color OS is may take a little of work, but you can fully customize the thing, so you can change the layout of the grids. Make sure you change up the style of the icons as well. If you like, you've, also, thankfully, got a good bit of one-handed help on the Oppo a54, which is your usual 6.5 inch b. So you can drag down that notifications bar from anywhere on screen and if you do happen to have lots of apps spread around your desktops as well. Well, you can drag them down towards the bottom end of the display, just by swiping up the edge of the screen like so also going to dodge it into convenience tools and just change up the navigation method, because I don't like the old-school navigation bar, prefer the swipe gestures and then, after all of that, it's just a case of rearranging the icons, so they're the way.

I like them, and we're basically done that hold up one. Last final little thing got to get the geeky anime wallpaper on the go of course. Ah, there we go all done and dusted now, as always, colors is a bit of a hit-and-miss love it or hate it style affair that settings menu always makes my heart skip a beat whenever I see it, but definitely not in a good way- and this is certainly quite a dense launch, but it does pack in some decent features as well. So, for instance, lots of great gesture support the usual screen recording tools. I do quite like the aesthetics in many ways as well makes a change from the usual stock.

Android fare and there's some other bits on here like game space which I'll touch on in a bit- and I was ever so slightly concerned that the Oppo a54 5g didn't have NFC support because it wasn't listed in the specs, but thankfully it does and as you can see there, you are for Google peer support with that too. As mentioned before, when I was banging on about design, you got that edge mounted fingerprint sensor just built into that power button. So all you have to do is lightly tap your digit against that surface. As you can see, it unlocks the phone in a jiffy, and that is complemented by and also excellent, a bit of face recognition as well, which, as you can see, they're just as nippy uh, again barely even see the lock screen before you're straight in so, so far, so very, very identical in fact, to the Oppo a745g, no differences whatsoever until you get to the storage. That is the first difference between these two uh smartphones, because uh.

If you can actually find the storage there, it is in that ridiculously hideous settings. Menu. You've got 64 gigs here on the ear 54, whereas you can double that for the a74, it's got 128 gigs, but it doesn't really matter too much because both the a54 and the a74 support micro, SD expandability, on top of dual sim support. Now, on to the display tech and once again, no difference at all between the Oppo e54 5g and the Oppo a74 5g, you've got the same size, 6.49 inch laps panel, it's once again full HD plus resolution 2400 by 1080, which at least means you've upgraded from the 720p basic display of the a53, which was one of the main pinpoints of that otherwise, brilliant blower and yeah. You don't get the same, gorgeous sharp contrast that you do from an OLED panel, which you will find on some budget blows around this sort of price point: there's no HDR support in the likes of Netflix, and so, but visuals are still looking nice and crisp and reasonably punchy as well.

You've got strong viewing angles, respectable brightness levels. I quickly kick back. You know the good bit of Disney, plus or whatever on this all afternoon, along despite the annoying selfie orifice, which is of course ever present in the corner. If you scroll right down and jump into the more section, you'll see that you've got a screen refresh rate option as well. This is set to 90 hertz by default.

You can bump it down to 60 hertz if you don't want to save on battery life. I like it at that nice, smooth, 90, hertz level. As for the audio well again like the a74, it's just a single model speaker set up down here below the earpiece speaker does not pump out your media audio, but let's see how good it is at all in price, since it'll still cost you 500 of bob no difference in terms of the actual output reason to be loud on that top volume, a little of distortion uh, but nothing too major uh. But of course at least you've got a headphone jack. If you do want to get connected up, get some proper lossless audio on the go.

If you jump on into the audio settings as well, you've got Dirac 2.0 audio process, and you'll find uh. The real sounds technology feature buried away in those sound settings. This, as you can see, is set to smart by default, so the audio output will be tinkered with in the background to suit whatever you're up to watching a movie playing a game whatever. As for performance again not much difference between the a54 and the a74 they're, both powered by the snapdragon 480 chipsets, which is Qualcomm's most affordable, 5g platform right now, although you do get six gigs of ram here in the a74 compared with just four in the year, 54. , of course that snapdragon 40 chipsets should be up to the task of a bit PUBG Call of Duty or whatever, but just to be perfectly sure, let's jump on into good old game space, we'll boost it up to pro gamer mode, oh they're, accompanied by uh jazzy, sound effects and everything and then give it a go.

And yes, you do have the usual game assistant tools as well, which you can uh swipe out a like saw. If you need to access again the performance modes, you can block notifications and reject calls as well. So you are not bothered at all. While you're busy capping more photos online, you can record the action all kinds of great stuff, so I still Call of Duty mobile on the maxed out frame rate on the high detail, settings and the performance was absolutely flawless. Nice smooth, consistent frame rate throughout the game, the arena 619 GPU, certainly seems to handle life quite admirably.

The 180 hertz touch sampling rate really helped as well. So the screen was super responsive, perfect for swinging around superfast sniping, someone in the face before they get you in the ass and that 480 chipset must be pretty energy efficient as well, because there wasn't much heat build up. Even after a couple of games of pretty intensive action, my hands were getting quite sweaty, but not, thankfully, because the form was hot as hell, and thanks to that, snapdragon 480 chipsets you've also got full 5g support on the a54 5g, as you would kind of expect so again the same as the a74 as far as the connectivity goes, and there should be bug roll difference between these phones when it comes to the battery life as well, because they both pack in a mighty 5 000 William mega battery uh, certainly on the a745g, keeps me going all day. Long no worries, no matter what I'm up to and because they're both running the same chipset and everything you'd expect the performance, the battery life to be identical. That said, however, the a545g does max out a 10 watt charging, whereas the a74 maxes out at 18 watts.

So it is a lot quicker, but you can leave them both plugged in overnight. They've got smart charging capabilities, so hopefully the battery shouldn't overcharge and therefore potentially be bulked in the long run and that to end as always with a squint at that camera tech you've got triple lens rear setup, spearheaded by a 48 megapixel primary sensor and probably won't massively shock you to discover that the Oppo e54 5g's camera attack is basically the same as the Oppo a74. You've got the usual HDR and AI mod shenanigans filters, all that good stuff, you're shooting at 12 megapixels by default, but by dragging down this little menu, you can bump that up to the maxed out 48 meg resolution. However, at that 48 meg uh maximum resolution, you don't get the benefits of the pixel bin in, so it's best left for when the lighting is really, really good, as well as that 48 meg primary sensor, you've got an 8 megapixel ultra-wide angle, lens for a pulled out view of the action as well and then don't get too excited about having like telephoto lenses or anything like that. The final two lenses are two megapixel monochrome lens and a two megapixel macro lens.

You've got the usual bonus modes on here, give a portrait mode action where you can change up the both level to uh suit. Your own particular tastes got a night mode, of course, for those low light shots and if you flick along two more you've got a handful of extra bonus bits on there as well, including of course, the macro mode, yippee, hooray and the pro mode as well, where you can think with the white balance, the focus level, all that good stuff, if you want to shoot a whole movie, just flick to the video mode. Unfortunately, I believe that this tops out a full HD resolution. Just like the a74 yep, no 4k option on there and then last up, of course, around front you've got a 16 megapixel, a selfie shooter again with the portrait smart. I believe you can use the night modes in this mode as well yep uh to get a gorgeous looking snap of you to share online, or let's just put that straight in the bin, so that right there in a nutshell, is the Oppo a54 5g, quite a snippet 219 quid here in the UK.

If you're not bothered about the extra memory or storage- and you want to save yourself a few extra bucks, then obviously it's a alternative to the Oppo a74. Of course the competition is very strong in the budget, 5g realms right now in 2021, I did round up my favorite the best budget, 5g smartphones. You can get right now, uh here on tech spreads, go check that out for a look at some of the closest drivers. I really like that likes the Xiaomi mi 10t light. I will be doing a full review of that Oppo a74 imminently and check back soon for more unboxing of more budget 5g smartphones, including like the Redmi Note, 10 5g, and the Motorola motor g50 as well.

Please do plug subscribe ding that notifications, bell and uh have yourselves a fun bloody tactic rest of the day. Cheers everyone loves you! You.
