I shall be 78 next month. Thus am I allowed to admit that I use the Web for crochet blogs and YouTube patterns, as well as for reading online news (ABC and The Guardian, with occasional reference to MSNBC). Oh ! – also for ABC iView, but no other TV. AND for my blog, as well as a few other people’s. In testing, we found that the A54 does support a 9V/2A/18W charger, so if you plug in any UCB-C PD charger, you get a fast charge.

We shot these two without office lights – just ambient daylight. Colours and detail are excellent and bokeh is perfect. This is a terrific low light shot – no AI enhancements showing the prowess of the 48MP sensor This uses Night mode that amps up brightness without loss of too much detail Selfie:From: OPPO Online and major CE retailers like JB Hi-FI, Harvey Norman, Good Guys, Officeworks, and Catch.com.au

We did not run the full suite of tests because it was clear that they have a massive battery for at least two days of use With more testing think the stutter only occurs when the limited attempt at stabilisation is working hard. I’m possibly to spoilt but later Go-Pro stabilisation performance (That’s what a phone company should be aiming at, not that I’d strap a phone to my dog to get smooth footage, lol) Max 158,245GIPS, Average 154,736GIPS – no throttling. This is an exceptional result and shows OPPO has good cooling tech. Comms – Wi-Fi 5 AC 1×1 MIMO Volume is a maximum of 80dB, and the sound signature focuses on clear voice. BT and cabled headphones are loud and clear.I figure the battery will improve with a number of charges maybe? (it’s better than my old Xiaomi A2 Lite but not by much yet). The camera for stills seems quite good. At OPPOs request (more a challenge) I am using the Find X3 Pro exclusively for a month to see the difference between ColorOS and One UI. Color OS has a suite of Google alternative apps for the Chinese market as well as all Google apps. You decide which you want and uninstall the ones you don’t need. They are not bloatware. I recall it had Facebook but I won’t sully myself using that rubbish so it was uninstalled. In using PhoneClone (OPPO program) to bring over my apps from the s21 Ultra I was surprised how many only work on Galaxy and needed to be uninstalled.

It’s a straight 16MP (no binning) that captures lots of detail and accurate skin tone colours. It has OPPO AI to post-process the image. It has a limited depth of field, so if you are shooting a group selfie, make sure you are close. GadgetGuy’s take Now, this is not a big issue and probably relates to the shortage of camera sensors. But the two 5MP sensors are superior to the 2 x 2MP, and macro and bokeh photos may have more definition. Specs Camera Finds nearest tower at -103dBm/100fW, second tower at -108dBm/63.1fW and third tower at -114dBm/50fW – excellent. Occasionally finds a fourth tower at -121dBm (unusable).OPPO apps are primarily replacements for Google apps where Google is prohibited. For example, there is File Manager (OPPO and excellent) and Files by Google that wants you to use cloud storage. Good battery endurance, very high antenna signal strength, good camera, good processor, can run on any network, 5G WHO CARES! Features Rear: Photo, Video, Night, Expert, Panorama, Portrait, Time-lapse, Slow-motion, Text scanner, Google Lens ColorOS supports Google Assistant – none of this Bixby that is really only useful for South Koreans. I only replace my phones about every 2-3 years so one thing important to me is upgrades guarantees (which also looks good on the Oppo phones). Another thing is having a proper Dual SIM plus the SD slot for music and movies for when I travel so teh 256GB max size is also sounding very good.
