As digital enthusiasts, we often pay attention to the latest flagship products because they are a collection of the latest technologies of various manufacturers and can let us understand the latest developments in the industry. But for Volkswagen, the performance of entry-level products is more important because their threshold is low enough to achieve maximum coverage. Once entry-level products are equipped with certain new technologies, they often promote the popularization of this technology.
OPPO A1 Pro
As the entry-level model in the OPPO product line, the A series products rarely receive the attention of digital enthusiasts. But as the majority of OPPO's shipments, its outstanding sales performance fully demonstrates its recognition among the masses. On the OPPO A1 Pro that just released, OPPO has equipped it with a domestic OLED screen that supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and excellent black edge control. In terms of eye protection, it even surpasses the iPhone with only 480Hz PWM dimming. It is rare in the same price. So what is the user experience of OPPO A1 Pro? Let’s take a look with me~
01 Appearance: Narrow border + eye protection, this screen has something to do
Speaking of buying a mobile phone, the appearance design is definitely the first thing we pay attention to. The unique appearance design not only makes us feel more pleasant in our daily use process, but in a sense the choice of the appearance of the mobile phone can also highlight the user's own aesthetics.
As OPPO's consistent advantage project, OPPO A1 Pro also performs well in terms of appearance. The body adopts a double-curved side design, which is 7.7mm body thickness, making it feel very comfortable to hold. At the same time, the transition between the screen, middle frame and back cover is also very smooth.
Back cover is the most distinctive part of the appearance of OPPO A1 Pro. With the support of the streamer crystal diamond process, the back cover can present different visual effects as the light flows, and the viewing is very outstanding. The help of the second generation of texture splicing technology and the first flexible texture 3D precise printing process makes the A1 Pro's back cover visual effect more symmetrical and layered, bringing a comfortable and harmonious look. In terms of color matching, OPPO A1 Pro has three different styles of Chaoyu Blue, Chenxi Gold and Yuehai Black, which meets users' different preferences for color.
At the same time, OPPO A1 Pro also delivered a good answer in the rear camera module part that can be regarded as a design problem. It adopts a dual-ring design of a smart secret realm, and the camera and flash are lined up in two circles, presenting the beauty of simplicity and order. The unique vertical patterned design is used under the lens, which adds a bit of vitality to the back cover.
The sight comes to the front, and the OPPO A1 Pro is equipped with a 6.7-inch OLED screen, which is also one of the biggest buying points of the OPPO A1 Pro.
At first glance, the first thing I noticed is the ultra-narrow four-circular frame. Through optimization of the border packaging process, OPPO A1 Pro achieves an ultra-small chin width of 2.32mm. The width of the other three sides is also controlled within 2mm, which ultimately allows OPPO A1 Pro to obtain a screen-to-body ratio of up to 93%, allowing users to get an immersive experience to the greatest extent.
In terms of specifications, this OLED screen covers 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, bringing users rich and delicate colors. It also supports 120Hz high brush and a maximum instantaneous sampling rate of 1000Hz, and is smooth when sliding. Such high specifications have also obtained Youku's frame-enjoy ultra-high definition certification. Under the ultra-high definition screen of high frame rate , users can better enjoy the ultimate smooth audio and video experience like flowing clouds and water.
For OLED screens, friends who are a little familiar with them may have doubts about the PWM dimming they use, believing that it will make your eyes more prone to fatigue. However, OPPO A1 Pro uses 2160Hz PWM ultra-high frequency dimming, which not only brings a more comfortable low-brightness viewing experience, effectively reduces the fatigue caused by low-frequency PWM dimming among sensitive people, but also solves the picture variegation problem caused by software dimming at low-brightness. At the same time, the screen of OPPO A1 Pro has also been hardware-level optimization, greatly reducing the harmful blue light from the 415-445nm band. While achieving blue light protection, it does not affect the normal screen display. At the software level of
, OPPO A1 Pro provides an all-weather eye protection mode in the system.In this mode, the A1 Pro can intelligently identify ambient light brightness and provide 4096 levels of adaptive dimming to reduce visual fatigue and feel softer both day and night. Under the multiple optimization of software and hardware, OPPO A1 Pro has also passed the professional eye protection test of the Eye Health and Safety Assessment System (ECAP), which has been recognized by authoritative organizations.
Overall, OPPO did not retain the appearance design of OPPO A1 Pro due to product positioning, but still injected a strong OPPO design aesthetic into it. At the same time, the new OLED screen also realizes narrow bezels, low blue light and other characteristics through optimization of process, materials, etc., which is quite suitable for people who need to spend a lot of time looking at their mobile phones every day.
02 Performance: Mainstream games are stress-free, and large memory is used for longer
Performance, OPPO A1 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 695 chip, which is built using a 6nm process technology, an octa-core CPU framework, including 2 A76 large cores with a main frequency of 2.4GHz and 6 A55 small cores, with guaranteed performance.
In actual experience, we chose two popular games, " Honor of Kings " and " Peace Elite " for testing, and used PerfDog to record the game frame rate .
"Honor of Kings" itself is not a game that is very mobile. When the image quality is set to high definition, the resolution is super high, and the frame rate is high, it will not bring much pressure to OPPO A1 Pro. Judging from the final game frame rate chart, OPPO A1 Pro runs at 60fps throughout the entire process. Even in team battles, there is no obvious frame drop. The whole process is very smooth and stable.
"Honor of Kings" frame rate performance
In the "Peace Elite" test, the picture quality is set to high definition, the frame rate is high, and other special effects are fully turned on. Compared with "Honor of Kings", "Peace Elite" has higher requirements for processors, but OPPO A1 Pro still ensures a smooth experience throughout the process. Judging from PerfDog tests, OPPO A1 Pro can also maintain stable operation in the game, with a stable frame rate of around 30fps.
"Peace Elite" frame rate performance
Many users actually pay great attention to the smoothness of their phones when choosing mid-range models. They not only need to ensure daily fluency, but also hope to avoid lag after two or three years of use.
For this reason, OPPO A1 Pro is equipped with a storage combination of up to 12GB + 256GB. At the same time, it can also enable RAM + memory expansion technology with one click, which can obtain a smooth experience of up to 20GB of memory, which can effectively improve the smoothness of running multiple APPs in the background. Large storage also facilitates us to store some APP applications, photos, videos and files, so that the mobile phone can be used longer.
Whether the Android phone can keep running smoothly at all times is not only related to the configuration of the phone itself, but users often need to clean up the garbage in the phone frequently, which is quite troublesome. Fortunately, OPPO A1 Pro supports 36 months of smooth escort. The system will be smoothly optimized in real time during daily use. It can automatically clean up mobile phone garbage during standby. With a comprehensive hardware configuration, even for long-term use, OPPO A1 Pro can be used for a long time and as new as it is new.
03 Fast Charging and Battery End: 4800mAh Battery + Longevity Version 67W Fast Charging, say goodbye to the anxiety of battery life
"No battery, no matter how good the drama is, it will not come out." As the basis of all user experience, the battery life of the mobile phone has always been a concern for users. The OPPO A1 Pro is equipped with a large 4800mAh battery. For a thin and light phone with only 7.7mm thick and 171g, this battery capacity is really good, which makes me look forward to the battery life of the OPPO A1 Pro even more.
According to convention, in order to reflect the actual battery life of OPPO A1 Pro, we conducted a 5-hour heavy battery life test on the OPPO A1 Pro using the ZOL heavy battery life test model. As usual, before the test starts, the phone is fully charged and connected to Wi-Fi, the volume and screen brightness of are adjusted to 50%, and the room temperature is kept at 22℃. The following are the test results:
Judging from the results, the OPPO A1 Pro has good battery life, and the remaining battery life is 51% after the 5-hour battery life test. Thanks to the 4800mAh battery and the system-level power saving optimization of ColorOS 13, there is no problem with OPPO A1 Pro supporting normal use for one day.
From the configuration point of view, charging is a highlight of OPPO A1 Pro. This time, OPPO A1 Pro is equipped with the longevity version of 67W flash charging technology. Judging from the 30-minute charging test, you can charge from 0 to 53% in 20 minutes, and you can charge from 75% in 30 minutes, with excellent speed.
At the same time, the 67W super flash charging on OPPO A1 Pro is also equipped with OPPO's battery health engine technology, which is based on customized battery management chips, as well as two core technologies, including intelligent battery health algorithms and Bionic repair electrolyte technology. It starts from the underlying algorithm and battery chemistry system to protect battery health and charge and discharge safety, and intelligently improve battery life.
Thanks to the support of the battery health engine, the OPPO A1 Pro's battery can still maintain 80% of its capacity after cycling and charging and discharging 1,600 times. It is equivalent to charging once a day, the battery can still have more than 80% of its capacity after four years, far exceeding the industry standard. Users no longer have to worry about having to change the phone because of the aging battery in less than two years.
04 Image: 100 million pixels of ultra-photosensitive dual camera, good-looking during the day and at night
In terms of photography, the rear of the OPPO A96 uses a dual camera combination of 100 million ultra-photosensitive main camera + 2 million portrait lens. Combined with the rich image functions of the new version of ColorOS 13, it is completely competent for shooting scenery, people, and videos.
In the daytime sample, after OPPO A1 Pro turns on AI scene enhancement, both the brightness and color of the picture are improved, and the sample looks more transparent and textured, and the colors are more pleasing. In addition, thanks to the support of 100 million pixel main camera, the sample resolution is also good, and the details after cutting can be clearly displayed.
In night view mode, the sample picture is also very bright and clear, with bright and realistic colors, and it is very layered, and does not feel like it is too heavy to apply. In addition, thanks to the optimization of the night view mode, OPPO A1 Pro handles light and darkness very properly, which not only ensures that it is not overexposed, but also retains the details of the darkness well. The overall view of the night view will be improved well.
Overall, the photography performance of OPPO A1 Pro is not bad. Whether it is day or night, the photos taken are bright in color, natural in brightness and clear in details. For a mid-range product, this performance is qualified.
