About this deal

At just 720 x 1600, this is HD+/720p as opposed to the FHD+/1080p resolution that most phones shoot for. Even at this end of the market, it’s possible to get a flexible camera system with ultra-wide options.

However, we did notice a drop-off in detail towards the edge of the pictures we captured with the device. Objects containing lots of intricate detail, such as trees and bushes, would take on a granular, heavily processed look. This is a familiar set up for the budget class – and, once again, the presence of that low-megapixel macro is hard to justify. It can be a little annoying, too, such as with the inability to uninstall apps directly from the home screen. Apps such as Netflix can take a while to get up and running, and even Oppo’s own individual Settings menus take an extra beat to load.A fairly large 4,230mAh unit serves those modest components well, happily taking you into a second day of use before needing a top up. But if there’s a certain minimum standard you’d expect from a smartphone, the A15 only barely meets it. If you’re looking for some basic protection with a whole lot of different style options, then a back cover might be just what you need.

Your eye will probably be drawn to the square camera module in the top-left corner, which is framed by a faux-metal surround. Put simply, there are far better phones available for the same – or just a little more – money, including the Moto G8 and the Oppo A5 2020. Oppo Mobile UK managing director Kevin Cho claims that the Oppo A15 has been “designed with users’ social networking and entertainment needs in mind”, which explains the presence of a large 6. Talking of closer scrutiny, we found that close-up portrait shots struggled to get our subject in full focus, both in normal shooting mode and in the dedicated Portrait mode. Factor in the Oppo A9 2020 and the Oppo A5 2020, and it’s been a busy 12 months for this reliable brand’s budget line.You might expect the Oppo A15 to be a bit of a lightweight given all that plastic and a fairly slim 7.

The rear of the device is a largely featureless expanse of plastic, shiny right up to the point at which it will be covered with greasy fingerprints. You’re unlikely to be indulging in hours of gaming given that humble processor, and even if you’re a total video-streaming hound, the 720p output shouldn’t prove too taxing. Just below this is a physical fingerprint sensor, which is another sign that this isn’t a premium phone.The phone’s all-plastic body feels solidly built, if entirely unspectacular, and the presence of a micro-USB port is something of a blast from the past (to put it politely). Still, ColorOS is a suitably customisable UI, so you can tweak things to a reasonable degree of satisfaction.

There isn’t much in the way of bloatware either, and Google’s Chrome, Calendar and Gmail apps handle their respective duties in place of inferior alternatives. In PUBG Mobile, the graphical settings won’t go any higher than Balanced/Medium – one notch of the bottom – and even then the performance is far from silky smooth.Saving money is all well and good, but if you want to ensure that your cheap phone lasts through the day, the Oppo A15 is a fair bet. Meanwhile, a teardrop notch makes the phone feel a little dated at a time when hole-punch notches have become more the norm in the budget sector. Get it now, and be secure in the knowledge that you are choosing the best protection for your phone! An hour of Netflix streaming with the screen set to full brightness sapped between 5% and 8% in our tests – which is weirdly variable, but generally pretty strong.
