Pros and Cons

Oppo A80 5G

Strengths

At $369, the Oppo A80 5G is a bargain, particularly when you consider that it is technically drop proof.
The phone has a robust build with a 360-degree damage-proof armor body, which can withstand drops of up to 1.4M on every side and corner.
It has a fast refresh rate (120Hz) and high brightness level (up to 1000 nits), making the user interface seem smoother and scrolling faster.
The phone's battery life is impressive, with a capacity that will last for at least four years, retaining up to 80% of its charge over time.
It supports Oppo's Super VOOC charging up to 45W, although the fast charger is not included in the box.

Weaknesses

The phone has a relatively low-quality camera with AI editing functions that are not great and can even introduce new issues (e.g., adding unwanted objects).
It only comes with a 720p display, which is expected given its budget price point.
The processor is on the lower end in terms of performance, and it's actually a bit worse than the A79 in CPU benchmarks.
You don't get the fast charger in the box, which feels like an unnecessary extra cost.
It only comes with 2 years of operating system updates, which seems short given its robust build and long-lasting battery life.

Oppo K12 Plus

Strengths

The phone has a good display with a fast refresh rate AMOLED screen.
It comes with stereo speakers providing a nice multimedia experience.
The camera quality is above average, with a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera.
The phone has a lightweight design making it easy to hold for a long time.
It runs on Color OS 14 which is highly optimized for performance.
The phone's AMOLED screen also features diamond frame design for better protection.

Weaknesses

The phone may not be suitable for heavy gaming due to its average gaming performance.
The frame of the phone is made of plastic and has no antenna lines, which might affect the phone's durability.
The fingerprint sensor is placed quite low on the phone, making it slightly inconvenient to access.
The chin of the phone is slightly larger, affecting its overall aesthetic appeal.
The phone's average frame rate dropped to 37.6 FPS after playing a heavy game for 30 minutes at high quality settings with 60 FPS.
The phone's back temperature reached 41.7°C during heavy gaming, which might be a concern.
