Oppo A6x

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Oppo A6x stands out for one headline number: a 6500 mAh battery that should comfortably survive two full days of moderate use, including several hours of social media and video streaming. At 33,999 PKR, the Snapdragon 685 under the hood is a proven 6 nm chip that delivers smooth day-to-day performance and even handles light gaming like PUBG Mobile on low settings without thermal throttling. The 120 Hz display makes scrolling noticeably fluid, though the 720p resolution means text can look slightly soft when you zoom in on small fonts. Camera performance is the weak link: the 13 MP main shooter is serviceable in daylight but struggles indoors, and the 5 MP selfie camera produces grainy video calls. With 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, you have enough headroom for dozens of apps without needing a microSD card. This phone suits buyers who prioritise battery endurance and a snappy daily experience over photographic ambition. Compared to the Xiaomi Redmi A5 at 28,999 PKR, the A6x costs about 5,000 more but delivers a substantially larger battery (6500 vs 5200 mAh), double the RAM (8 GB vs 4 GB), and a significantly faster Snapdragon processor instead of the Redmi's budget Unisoc chip. The Redmi A5 does offer a marginally bigger screen at 6.88 inches and a 32 MP selfie camera, which is a genuine advantage for social media enthusiasts, but its 720p display and weaker processor mean it cannot match the A6x for sustained multitasking or gaming. If your budget is tight and you mostly browse and message, the Redmi A5 saves you money; if you want a phone that holds a charge longer and runs apps without stutter, the A6x is worth the premium.
