Unique main camera

Weaknesses

Oppo A3 4G

Strengths

The phone has a premium design that looks good, especially with its iPhone-like aesthetic.
It has a triple card slot, allowing for expandable storage via microSD.
The phone is said to be drop-resistant and military standard (810h), which adds an extra layer of durability.
The camera has a 50MP main sensor with a wide aperture, capable of taking decent photos in good lighting conditions.
The battery life is reportedly good, lasting up to four years with moderate use.

Weaknesses

The phone's performance is merely 'so-so', lacking the power expected from a mid-range device.
The camera performance is subpar, especially in low-light conditions and when using the front-facing camera.
The front-facing camera resolution is very bad and shaky, making it unsuitable for any type of photography beyond video chatting.
The phone's Snapdragon 6s gen one chip is reportedly a rebranded older model (Snapdragon 685), which may lead to performance issues.
The phone's price point of 9,000 pesos seems too high considering its relatively weak specs and camera capabilities compared to other options like the Infinix Hot 3 4G.

Sony Xperia PRO-I

The Sony Xperia PRO-I is a flagship smartphone that boasts impressive features, including a durable build, high refresh rate 4K AMOLED display, stereo speakers, and a top-tier chipset. However, despite its premium price tag, the device falls short in some areas. One of the standout features of the PRO-I is its main camera, which offers unique capabilities such as a variable telephoto lens and advanced video recording options. The device's still photo quality is exceptional, with great detail and dynamic range, especially in well-lit conditions. However, low-light performance is more average, and the ultra-wide-angle camera struggles to produce high-quality night-time footage. The PRO-I's video recording capabilities are decent, but not exceptional, with 4K footage showing good exposure and colors, but soft textures and a lack of detail. Electronic image stabilization (EIS) works well in low light, but nighttime video recording is where the device stumbles, particularly with the ultra-wide-angle camera. The PRO-I's other features, such as its high refresh rate display and stereo speakers, are impressive, but not necessarily game-changing. The battery life is also a mixed bag, with some users reporting disappointing results. Overall, the Sony Xperia PRO-I is a solid choice for fans of Sony's camera-centric approach, but others may find it hard to justify the premium price tag. While the device excels in certain areas, such as still photo quality and EIS, its video recording capabilities fall short compared to competitors.

Oppo A3 4G

The Oppo A3 4G is an intriguing smartphone that boasts premium features at an affordable price point of 8,999 pesos. With its sleek design and iPhone-like aesthetics, it's hard to ignore its attractive exterior. The phone also comes with a range of impressive specs, including a 6nm Snapdragon 680 processor, 128GB storage, and 5,100mAh battery. But is it worth the hype? Our review will delve into the device's performance, camera capabilities, and gaming experience to help you decide if this phone is truly worth its price tag.
