Externally the novelty practically repeats F5 and is as powerful, but it is worth a total of 13 990 rubles!

Design and materials
The OPPO A83 is almost like two drops of water similar to the OPPO F5, the only difference is that there is no design A83 chips and F5 have a thin silver rim. In the smartphone is the same slim design with smooth edges, exactly the same camera and sticking out exactly the same protruding glass - if it simply laid on top. In today's "streamlined" world 2,5D--and 3D-glasses this design looks and feels extraordinary.
Gadget has a solid screen with a diagonal of 5.7 inches. It covers almost the entire front surface, but because of the dimensions of a smartphone is no longer 5.5-inch models. By the way, the OPPO - first major brand that has brought to Russia a budget smartphone with the screen at a price of 15 thousand rubles.
Housing plastic, but the piece - the battery can not reach. Material quality: the machine is not bends, creaks, tolerates proximity keys and stuff in your pocket. But the key issue budget nature: they are plastic and backlash. If you shake a smartphone, you can hear how they hang. However, nothing wrong with that, because hanging out do not do the buttons on the board, and external elements.
Screen
The device the budget segment is clearly seen, on what the manufacturer saves. In the case of the OPPO A83 is the screen.
matrix quality is quite good, it is quite bright and contrasting for its price. Resolution - 1440 × 720 dots (HD). This is not uncomfortable and does not interfere with the pleasure to watch videos and play games, but by paying just a thousand rubles, we can already count on a Full HD from other brands. The question is whether you need a screen Full HD? Moreover, let us not forget that the higher the resolution, the more resources are required on the output image.
Performance
Hardware base OPPO A83 - an eight chipset MediaTek MT6763T, aka Helio P23. Exactly the same processor as the more expensive OPPO F5. Volume RAM - 3 GB built - 32 GB.
Smartphone clearly fits into your price range: serious devices with Full-Screen-screen and more powerful stuffing for the money there. Power enough for all that he wants. As for the games, you can play anything: World of Tanks Blitz, World of Warships Blitz, Modern Strike Online, War Robots, game series Warhammer 40,000 - for the test time budget-OPPO A83 I have not indulged in any than. In this game fly at high graphics settings. The test AnTuTu 6 smartphone already scored 68,000 points, beating many more expensive middling results in 50-60 thousand.
Camera
The main camera is as usual. Resolution - 13 Mn, aperture - f / 2,2. Nothing special about these numbers is not. Which sensor is installed in the smartphone - OPPO silent. The camera intelligently exposes, copes with high-contrast scenes, surprisingly well takes room and night: the pictures are bright, not too noisy, noise reduction algorithms work very carefully.
But there is a nuance: the speed of the camera. It happened that between pressing the shutter button and shooting took place more than 1 second! What it depends on, and that in these moments there is "under the hood" of the smartphone - is unclear. It does not possess the speed and autofocus. Probably, this behavior will be fixed in future firmware updates.
The conclusion is: OPPO A83 camera pleases, when you need to take a picture in a relaxed atmosphere. If you hurry, you want to take a picture of something on the go or shoot action scenes, then there will not be any guarantees.
I note that in the same price category have smartphones with dual cameras, such as the new Huawei P Smart 14 990 rubles. Do I need to apply to the second chamber seriously?
The fact that low-cost smartphones, the second camera is used for shooting in a wide aperture mode. This is necessary when you want to make a portrait, beautifully blur the background. No other role in the second chamber for the money there. Therefore, if you do not plan to shoot 100 portraits with bokeh in the day, it is absolutely no advantage of the second chamber will not give you.
But the front camera is not so simple. Here as much as 8 megapixel, aperture f / 2,2 and, most importantly, a proprietary technology to improve selfie SelfieTune. About her I spoke in detail in review OPPO F5. In a nutshell: SelfieTune handles self-portraits so that you are doing them younger and fresher, and attractive sheen in the eyes. Although the OPPO A83 model does not call selfie-expert, in general, the device could have them be in its price category.
link
What can you want from a smartphone in 13 990 rubles at the start of the sales? Two sim cards, LTE, satellite receiver GPS, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth - all this is.
Moreover, two SIM cards can be installed along with the microSD card. I would like to see more, and the NFC, especially since rival Huawei P Smart it is, though chopped off - without the support of Mifare, which means that smartphone owners will not be able to replenish the card "Troika".
Software
OPPO sets on their smartphones shell ColorOS 3.2. This is the easiest interface that I've ever seen on Android. Desk, Curtain quick access to settings - everything, there is nothing else here. Some people do not like me, on the contrary, to taste.
There are chips and software. The most interesting, in my opinion:
- Face Detection. You can protect access to your phone using this feature. Gadget owner learns quickly and accurately. Deceive his photograph did not happen.
- split screen mode. It opens on the same screen at once two applications to do two things at once, such as watching videos and chatitsya. However, not all applications support this feature.
"Out of the box» OPPO A83 comes with OSes Android 7.1 Nougat.
Working hours
OPPO A83 battery capacity was 3180 mAh, which is the average. The battery life too ordinary: A day in the mixed-use time and a half days, if saving. Charging is done via the microUSB port.
Output
OPPO A83 - a typical middling budget in which all as expected. Timeless design, powerful hardware and, in general, a good camera. Competitors with the same solid-screen TV in this price segment it is not so much.
Slightly more expensive, for 15 thousand, you can buy Huawei P Smart with FullHD-display, dual camera and the NFC, as well as Honor 9 lite. But, as I said, the benefits of such a display, the second chamber and lopped NFC questionable.
It would seem more advantageous to look ASUS ZenFone Max Plus M1: there LP battery, and a full second camera with wide-angle, and the NFC, and Full HD, but the processor is feeble - MediaTek MT6750T. Do not play.
The modest number of low-cost full-screen average performance OPPO A83 looks remarkably expressive and bright and definitely deserves the attention of those customers who are not willing to spend on a smartphone more than 15 thousand rubles.
Layfhaker thanks the company "OPPO Russia"For providing a sample for testing.
