What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Recombu | Adam Speight

Oppo A5 2020 is a great phone if you're feeling at all apprehensive about sporting a device that uses cheaper materials... A big battery and display make for strong experience, even if a low resolution is a bit of a letdown.

ZDNet | Sandra Vogel

The budget end of the handset market is a tough place, where compromises must be made to create a serviceable phone. In this case, the RAM, camera setup, screen and internal storage are all trimmed back. But on the plus side, there's excellent battery life, a smart industrial design, some nice added features in ColorOS and dual SIM plus MicroSD support.

Trusted Reviews | Andrew Williams

The Oppo A5 2020 is just the kind of phone I end up recommending most often to friends. Cost is low enough to make a SIM-free buy perfectly reasonable, it looks good and should have the CPU power, RAM and battery capacity to make use headache-free.

Stuff | Andrew Williams

The Oppo A5 2020 is great for the hardcore phone user who isn't a hardcore tech snob. A big screen and battery let you stream a lot of music and video, and play games without having to worry about running out of charge.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

If you're looking for an affordable phone there are plenty of good options, this Oppo A5 included among them. Its battery life is exceptional, with near two-day life, its screen is large, and its processor ample for tasks and games.

TechRadar | David Nield

The Oppo A5 2020 when judged against its price comes out very well indeed: for not much money at all, you get a device that is competent in most areas and really good in a couple.

... the smartphone is overshadowed by devices like the Realme 5 Pro and the Vivo Z1 Pro which offer better bang for the buck. Correspondingly, you should pick up the A5 2020 if you're an ardent OPPO fan. If not, then there are better deals in the market.

Expert Reviews | Alan Martin

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Oppo A5, but it's hard to see why you'd buy one over the Moto G8 Plus or the Xiaomi Note 8T. Both have better screens, better cameras and indistinguishable performance overall for around the same price.

Last Updated: 28th January 2022

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
