Design


The OPPO A3 Pro 5G comes in two different colours for people to be able to choose from, the Starry Black and the Moonlight Purple, which is the version that I received. In fact, I personally prefer this colour between the two as I feel like it stands out more. The back showcases a light shade of purple, even more so when hit under the light, which gives it a brighter shine in its appearance, creating a lustrous and mysterious look.



The OPPO A3 Pro 5G has a sleek and slender design and is also lightweight with a dimension of 165.79 x 76.14 x 7.68 mm and it has a weight of 186g. 


In addition to its stylish design, the A3 Pro 5G is also incredibly sturdy as it is built with 360° Damage-Proof Armour Body and comes with a special Panda Glass screen which ensures the phone will be in good condition even if it were punctured or dropped. In fact, due to its incredible durability, the OPPO A3 Pro 5G managed to earn the SGS Drop-Resistance Certification and SGS Military Standard Certification as well. Thus, even if you accidentally dropped your phone, your phone will still be alright.


Furthermore, the phone also comes with an Anti-Drop Shield Case which features corner cushioning to further enhance the protection for the phone while also maintaining its stylishness. Overall, I am impressed with the OPPO A3 Pro 5G’s design, especially with its sleek design.


Display


The OPPO A3 Pro 5G features a 6.67-inch LCD display with a 120 Hz Ultra Bright Display and a peak brightness of 1000 nits, which allows the user to have an alright viewing outdoors. The A3 Pro 5G also comes with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a decent HD+ resolution of 1604 × 720 which ensures that you will be able to enjoy playing your favourite mobile games or even watching YouTube videos smoothly and in high quality. 



The screen also features Eye Comfort Mode, which will allow you to be able to enjoy a comfortable viewing experience even when looking at the phone for prolonged periods of time.



The A3 Pro 5G also comes with the Splash Touch feature which enhances touch accuracy even when the screen is splashed with water. This ensures that even when it’s raining or you’re sweating in the gym, you’ll be able to use your phone without dealing with any issues. Additionally, the A3 Pro 5G is also water and dust resistant while also carrying a rating of IP54.



Performance


The A3 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G chipset which helps ensure that you will be able to use the phone for an extended period while also providing performance at high-quality. It comes with 8GB RAM and can even allow an additional 8GB extension to the RAM. It also comes with 256GB of internal storage.

Additionally, the OPPO A3 Pro 5G is also built in with the ColorOS14’s Trinity Engine which ensures that the phone will run smoother by enhancing the battery performance as well as increasing the app load speeds. This will ensure that users will enjoy a more seamless experience when using it.

In terms of connectivity, the phone also has an AI system known as AI LinkBoost which helps ensure stable connection and seamless network switching. With this, you’ll be able to enjoy watching social media and gaming even in areas with low network signals.


In order to enhance gaming performance, the phone also comes with a Hyper Boost mode that is used to help boost the performance of the phone during gaming. There are three different modes in which players can choose from: Low Power Mode, Balanced Mode and Pro Gamer Mode.

Furthermore, I decided to test out the game’s performance by playing Wuthering Waves, a game that was recently released this year and has been known for many visual issues. After setting the game to the highest graphics and resolution, the game is able to run smoothly and there are little issues with lag.



Camera


Although the main focus on the phone is not its camera features, the OPPO A3 Pro 5G features an incredible AI-powered camera system which consists of an 50 MP AI main camera, which is decent enough to be able to snap well-detailed and ultra-clear pictures.



Furthermore, when it comes to portrait mode, the OPPO A3 Pro 5G utilises two cameras which work simultaneously in order to capture beautiful portrait images with bokeh backgrounds which will be sure to catch people’s attention. 



AI Photography


The OPPO A3 Pro 5G also comes with several interesting AI features that are sure to enhance your images. One such feature is the AI Eraser. With the AI Eraser, you’ll be able to remove unwanted objects and passerby’s in the background and be replaced with seamless and realistic backgrounds to help make your pictures more stunning.

In addition to this, the A3 Pro 5G also comes with an AI Portrait Retouching feature.

It also comes with 8 different modes of retouching in order to ensure that your pictures come out perfectly.

Battery Life


The OPPO A3 Pro 5G comes with a 5100mAh Hyper Energy Battery that is built to be able to last a full day even when using it and similarly to the phone, the battery is also sturdy as it can last up to over four years of usage as if it’s new. In addition, the A3 Pro 5G also comes with a 45W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge which is able to charge the phone up to 50% in just 30 minutes.



I decided to test out the phone’s battery by watching YouTube videos at 1080p for 30 minutes, and impressively, only 3% of the battery was drained.



In addition, in terms of the battery consumption, after thirty minutes of playing, the battery had only gone down by 9% even after in Pro Gamer Mode.

In conclusion, the OPPO A3 Pro 5G not only has incredible durability which make it a must-have for those who drop their phones regularly, but it also comes with a wide range of fascinating features right underneath your fingertips. Whether you’re a clumsy person or not, this durable champion phone is definitely something worth considering, especially with its affordable price of RM 1,099!
