The Oppo A83 takes many design cues from the Oppo F5, its more expensive sibling. Its tall 18:9 display and “AI-powered” selfie enhancement feature set it apart from competitors in its price range. Powered by a robust MediaTek MT6737T processor and packing 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, this phone delivers respectable performance. Both the front 8-megapixel camera and the rear 13-megapixel camera produce average results, with photos looking much better on the phone’s screen than they would on a desktop monitor at full size. While the 3180mAh battery may seem small, it actually provides satisfactory battery life. Oppo has done away with the fingerprint sensor in favour of the less reliable facial recognition system. In addition to Android 7.1.1, this device also features ColorOS, which has been heavily modified to resemble iOS.
