Editor Rating
3.6/5

The Oppo A57 has evolved into a pretty decent smartphone, with the 2022 model getting a pretty radical redesign that pushes it towards the mid-range segment, thanks to the slim body and shimmery back gradient. Even the camera module has been redone in sleek black, with a more blocky rectangular look but still featuring curves in the corner, just like the smartphone itself. The front and back, however, are completely flat so that the device can appear razor thin, at just 8mm thickness. You also get a faster Dimensity 810 processor, which is based on the 6nm manufacturing processor, which is a lot more powerful and efficient.

Bottom Line

Oppo A57 is an entry-level smartphone which almost reaches mid-range status due to its flashy design, faster processor, and better camera experience, although you still get bogged down by the lack of any wireless charging capabilities.
