Oppo A52

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Oppo A52 at 34,999 PKR offers a balanced package for buyers who want a reliable daily driver without flashy extras. The 6.5-inch Full HD+ display at 405 PPI is a highlight, delivering sharp text and vivid colours for reading, browsing, and video playback. The Snapdragon 665 processor is an older but dependable chip that handles everyday tasks smoothly, and the 4 GB of RAM is sufficient for moderate app usage, though heavy multitaskers may notice slowdowns. The quad-camera system led by a 12 MP f/1.8 main sensor produces acceptable daylight photos, and the 8 MP ultrawide adds genuine versatility for landscape shots that single-camera phones cannot replicate. A 5,000 mAh battery provides a full day of use, and the 16 MP selfie camera is better than most competitors in this range. The phone's main drawback is its age: the Snapdragon 665 was released in 2019, and software support may be limited going forward. This phone suits buyers who value display quality and a versatile camera system over having the latest processor. The Sego S25 at 29,999 PKR saves you 5,000 but comes with notable compromises. The Sego's MediaTek Helio G91 is a newer chip than the Snapdragon 665, yet the Oppo's Adreno 610 GPU still holds up well in real-world performance, and Oppo's software optimisation tends to be more polished. The Sego claims a 50 MP main camera, which sounds impressive on paper, but without knowing the sensor size or lens quality, the actual output may not surpass the A52's well-tuned 12 MP unit. Both phones have a 5,000 mAh battery, though the A52's 16 MP selfie camera significantly outclasses the Sego's 13 MP front shooter. The Oppo also includes an ultrawide lens that the Sego omits entirely. If camera versatility and display quality matter to you, the A52 justifies its higher price; if you are strictly budget-constrained, the Sego is the cheaper option, but its missing specifications make direct comparison difficult. PTA Note: Older Oppo models may already be PTA-approved, but verify the IMEI on the PTA website before committing to buy.
