Oppo A5x

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Oppo A5x at Rs 31,999 earns its place in this lineup through the 6000 mAh battery — one of the largest cells available in the sub-32,000 PKR bracket. That extra capacity over the standard 5000 mAh translates to roughly 20 percent more screen-on time, which for heavy users can mean the difference between reaching bedtime with 20 percent remaining versus hunting for a charger by mid-afternoon. The Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 is a proven processor that handles social media, streaming, and light gaming without significant slowdowns, and the Adreno 610 GPU manages casual gaming at medium settings. The 6.67-inch display at 264 PPI with 90 Hz refresh and 1000-nit HBM brightness is a genuine strength — that high brightness rating means the screen remains readable in direct sunlight, a feature many budget phones sacrifice. The 32 MP main camera with autofocus captures decent daylight photos, though the single rear camera means no ultrawide or macro capability. The 5 MP f/2.2 selfie camera is functional but unremarkable. With only 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, the phone's memory configuration is its weakest point — power users who run many apps simultaneously will notice slowdowns. At Rs 31,999, this phone is best for battery-conscious buyers who value outdoor screen visibility and do not need a multi-camera system. The Itel A100 at Rs 27,999 offers double the storage at 128 GB and 12 GB of total RAM (4 GB plus 8 GB virtual) for Rs 4,000 less, which directly addresses the A5x's memory shortcomings. However, the Oppo's 6000 mAh battery outlasts the A100's 5000 mAh cell by a significant margin — enough for some users to skip a nightly charge entirely. The A5x's 1000-nit display brightness also surpasses the Itel's unspecified brightness rating, making it far more usable outdoors under the Pakistani sun. The Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 in the Oppo delivers more reliable graphics performance than the A100's Unisoc T7250 in games and video rendering. Where the Itel wins decisively is storage and RAM: 128 GB versus 64 GB means fewer compromises when installing apps or storing photos. If battery life and outdoor readability are your top priorities, the Oppo A5x delivers; if storage capacity and multitasking matter more, the Itel A100 is the smarter allocation of your budget.
