Pros and Cons:
- Good
- Bright and vivid display
- Good battery life
- Decent app performance
- Cameras fare well in daylight
- Dedicated microSD slo
- Bad
- No backlit buttons
- Average low-light camera performance
Android Marshmallow is another factor to consider this Smartphone over the Oppo F1s, as from what Oppo has begun; the Oppo F1s will most probably be stuck on Lollipop. The same could also be real when it comes to the possible future deficiency of Nougat update for the Smartphone, but at least for now its Operating system is newer.
At Rs.14,990, the Oppo A57 offers a package that very similar to the Oppo F1s, but at a more affordable price point, which straightaway makes it better value compared to its slightly older cousin. Low-light camera performance isn’t the best, and basic features such as backlit buttons and dual-band Wi-Fi are missing, but on the plus side you get similar CPU performance, good build quality, and a very good fingerprint sensor.
