This is a great phone if, like me, you prefer to buy outright and avoid lengthy lock-in contracts. Its my first Oppo and it does everything I need it to do. The apps run well, there's plenty of space, and the battery life is great.

I particularly like the night-shield function, which reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen. It's noticeably gentler on my eyes, and I do feel like I fall asleep more easily when I switch to night-shield during the last few hours of the day.

On the down side, the screen gets very reflective an...Read more

Purchased from Officeworks, rep was quite helpful.
Using as a dual sim phone and battery lasts well into 2nd day once you cut out all background apps (I do prefer to say applications but battle lost).
Would have liked a smaller phone to better fit into shirt pocket, always using 4+ emails addresses (exchange/outlook) and really liking the larger screen for now so benefits out way here.
Face Id works well and the phone manager keeps memory cleared...why it needs 2gb out of 4gb to run is beyond me. Takes time to shut down other running apps pe...Read more

I've only had my Oppo A5 for a day but so far, I love it. Big, clear screen. Easy to use. Appears to have all the functions and features I want.
I was disappointed to find that my Aldi prep-paid chip didn't fit in it. Will NEVER buy anything at Officeworks again. Absolute WORST service of any store in Australia. I had my old phone with me and asked them to swap the chip over but they refused, saying it was easy. No warning that the SIM size was different in newer phones. (They knew the age of my old phone). Also didn't honour price match guara...Read more

I had my first Oppo phone (f1f) before this one. After how much I loved that phone (sadly not waterproof tho...!) there was no question of replacing it with anything but another Oppo. Well this phone is incredible. It really feels like care and thought have gone into the features.
A nice selection of in phone photo editing options, but not much in the way of adjustments available at the time of taking the photo so far as I can see.

Bright torch LED. Long lasting battery. Face unlock works really well with me, I hope it EXCLUDES people ...Read more

At first I thought Oppo's were just another average quality phone, that was until a lot of my friends got other versions. My old phone was slow, old and ran out of storage. I upgraded to the AX5 and my god, expectations exceeded, face ID works perfectly (when there is lighting) Camera is great, battery life is ridiculous, UI is Iphone level, not to mention the phone looks great. I thought the notch at the top of the screen would be a hindrance (it kind of is when trying to swipe down from the middle) but it doesn't obstruct your view like in a ...Read more
