Oppo A2 Pro: Cheap and surprisingly powerful

Oppo has put a new phone A2 Pro on the shelves with more important features, but the biggest focus is on the company's new free battery replacement program. 

The program will enable users to change the phone's battery free of charge, if it loses 80% of its capacity in less than 4 years. For now, this program is only available in China. We will have to wait a little longer for information on whether the company plans to introduce something similar in Europe. Oppo must first resolve the dispute with Nokia regarding the use of their patents. 

The phone has a curved 6.7-inch 1080p AMOLED screen with a fast refresh rate of 120 Hz, supported by a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor. Above all, it is important to assure users that the 5,000 mAh battery is designed to maintain its capacity for at least four years after the original purchase, the čimer promises long-term reliability. It also supports fast charging with 67W power.

The A2 Pro offers up to 12 GB of RAM and a spacious 512 GB of storage with a fast UFS 3.1 drive standard. Despite the huge camera frame with four cutouts for photographic lenses, the phone only has a main camera of 64 MP (f/1.7) and a depth sensor with a resolution of 2 MP. In terms of software, it features the ColorOS 13.1 system based on Android 13, which means that the user experience will be familiar to all existing Android users.

Additionally, it has an IP54 water and dust resistance rating and a built-in in-display fingerprint reader. Oppo A2 Pro is available in three colors: Vast Black, Desert Brown (with vegan leather) and Twilight. The price starts at $248 for the model with 8GB of system memory and 128GB of storage, while the #141 version with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is priced at $330.
