Editor Rating
3.5/5

Oppo A55 is one of the most affordable entry-level smartphones from the popular Chinese brand, which features a new design that is still simple and understated but adds a slight curve to the body as well as the buttons to make them stand out. The camera array has also been rearranged slightly, with better sensors that offer better night photography, although you still need a lot of light for that. The processor has also been upgraded to an Helio G35, which is paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The display is still a 720p IPS panel, although you get better touch sampling and more brightness under direct sunlight.

Bottom Line

Oppo A55 is a well-worth upgrade to the A54 smartphone from the brand, which features a more stylish look, a faster processor, and more usable cameras. While you do get a large battery, the charging speeds are too slow to be any fun.
