With that said, more megapixels on a camera doesn’t always correlate to better photos. Sure, a higher megapixel camera can take in more information; however, it’s only apparent when printing out images on a larger scale. How often do we print out photos taken with our phones? For me, never. Finally, the ultra-wide camera does what it says on the tin. There was good consistency in lighting and color between this and the main camera, though snaps could be noticeably distorted at the edges.

Awesome value and a great all rounder I love the look of this phone. It's thin, lightweight, sleek and feels good in the hand. I've used many phones in my life and this is up there with how it feels to hold. The buttons feel solid and well positioned and the phone overall definitely gives the impression of being more expensive than it actually is. The A94 comes with a respectable 8GB of RAM, 2GBs more than the Samsung A52, and it’s great.

Mobiles By Brand

The OPPO A94 has the Li-Po 4,310 mAh battery installed in the device and the battery is non-removable. For a normal day-to-day active usage, the smartphone could last up to 4 to 6 hours of battery life. The price is the real selling point of the Oppo A94 5G though - despite costing more than its siblings, it’s still great value if you’re looking for next-gen connectivity. The Oppo A94 5G has four rear cameras, and it’s the same array as the A54 and A74. Finally, a section in which we don’t need to keep comparing it to its family!

We found the Oppo A94 fairly easy to hold, though it’s far from a ‘compact phone’. Weighing 173g and measuring 160.1 x 73.4 x 7.8mm it’s not too big, perfect for people who don’t need giant handsets. The ‘brains of the operation’, so to speak, is the MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset, which is comparable to the Snapdragon 480 used in the other two AX4 phones. It’s paired with 8GB of RAM, which is a lot for a phone at this price, making the Oppo A94 5G feel fairly fast compared to some rivals. The smartphone is powered by a powerful processor, MediaTek MT6779V Helio P95 Octa-core while the GPU is PowerVR GM9446. The device supports Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by) and runs on the Android 11 + ColorOS 11.1 operating system.

Upcoming Phones

If we’d found just one or even two of those issues, we could potentially shrug our shoulders and ignore it, but the combination of all three sometimes became very irritating. Battery life The handset likely won’t go on sale in the US, as Oppo doesn’t sell its phones there, but Australian availability is up in the air. While the A94’s siblings are all on sale in the country, this phone isn’t - this makes it unlikely the handset will reach the golden shores, but we can’t say that for certain.

We didn’t list battery life in the ‘cons’ column because some people, light phone users who just want to stream music, scroll through social media and reply to texts, will find the battery just fine. If, like us, you’re prone to frequent gaming sessions, need to use your handset to navigate around a city with lots of mapping, or like to take plenty of pictures, you might find yourself reaching for the charger in the early evening.

Slow-mo goes up to 1080p. The speed is not the fastest I have used but it isn't a slouch and it more than handled most games and apps that I threw at it. The A94 comes with four rear cameras and a selfie camera. The main camera is a 48MP f/1.7 wide lens. It also has an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide lens, a 2MP f/2.4 macro lens and a 2MP f/2.3 depth lens.

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 800U 5G chipset, the A94 worked well with high-end games like PUBG. And it’s more than powerful enough for scrolling through social media apps and watching videos. Phase detection, Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, HDR, panorama, Video (4K@30fps, 1080p@30/120fps; gyro-EIS) The Oppo phone often dropped connection for small periods of time when we were using it, whether with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or mobile data connectivity. The first of those manifested in connected headphones sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting after a few seconds; Wi-Fi was sometimes a problem playing online games where we’d now and then repeatedly freeze, or be seconds out of sync for other players; twice in our time with the phone data dropped out completely, though restarting the device fixed the error. The smartphone is enabled with GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS, QZSS, USB Type-C, USB On-The-Go, and Bluetooth 5.1. The dimension of the device is 160.1 x 73.2 x 7.8 mm and it weighs 172 grams.

There’s also a 16MP f/2.4 camera on the front. Overall, that array is about average for a phone at this price. When comparing this phone to others you need to take into account its very reasonable price point and where it is positioned in the market. I think this phone is fantastic value and gives you a high level of performance and features at a fraction of the price of more expensive competitors. I have no hesitation in recommending this phone to others. The OPPO A94 is unfortunately not waterproof as it does not have any IP rating. So do be mindful when you're using the device near the sink or pool as water splashes could even cause liquid damage to the device. What is the processor of A94?
