OPPO A6 Pro 4G Cache Clear Test

Oppo A6 Pro 4G Overview

Display and Design

Like the 5G variant, the Oppo A6 Pro maintains the same 6.57-inch AMOLED display that comes with 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 1400 nits. You’re getting that “Infinite Edge” ultra-narrow bezel design with just 1.67mm at the top. The color options are different though. While the 5G version went with Black Jade, Blue, and Gold, this 4G model comes in Lunar Titanium, Stellar Blue, Coral Pink, and Rosewood Red. The Coral Pink actually looks very pretty, but that’s just me.

One interesting thing about the design aspect is its durability; this thing packs IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings plus MIL-STD 810H military certification. Basically, you can dunk it in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes, and it should survive fine.

Performance 

The 4G variant runs on MediaTek’s Helio G100, which is their latest 4G chipset. Now, compared to the 5G model’s Dimensity 7300, this is clearly a step down in raw power. But for everyday tasks, I don’t see any reason why G100 shouldn’t hold up reasonably well.

You’re stuck with just one configuration though, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM with 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. The 5G version gives you options up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage with faster UFS 3.1.  Oppo’s thrown in their usual software tricks like AI GameBoost 2.0, AI LinkBoost 3.0, and something called Trinity Engine for better performance optimization. Plus there’s this SuperCool Vapor Chamber cooling system with a large area that supposedly drops surface temps by 1.5°C.

Battery and Charging

The shining part of this phone, like the 5G variant, is its battery. That massive 7000mAh battery is the real star here, especially when paired with 80W SUPERVOOC charging. Although, Oppo isn’t the only one doing this, there are now over a hundred phones with 7000 and above found in the market. The charging speeds are pretty solid. 26 minutes gets you from 1% to 50%, and a full charge takes about 61 minutes. Plus, you can use reverse wired charging to juice up other devices through the USB-C port.

Oppo also makes an extremely bold claim on battery longevity. They say it’ll retain over 80% capacity after 5 years, which is really bold promise in a market where most batteries wear down in just one year or two.

Camera and Features

Talking about the optics, you get a 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP depth camera on the back, plus a 16MP front camera. The sensors seems basic to me, but nontheless the AI features are interesting. There’s AI Recompose and AI Perfect Shot for post-capture editing, AI Eraser 2.0 for removing unwanted objects, and the usual AI Night Mode stuff. But here’s something unique, an underwater photography mode that works up to 1.5 meters depth for 30 minutes. Another feature worth mentioning is the Motion Photo feature that captures moments before and after your shot with sound.
