Verdict
The OPPO A18 features a 6.56-inch IPS LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate. While the display is clear indoors, it becomes challenging to see under bright sunlight. The phone is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, which handles everyday tasks adequately, though there is a noticeable lag sometimes. Intensive games frequently crash, disrupting the experience, whereas casual games run fairly well with only minor lags and stutters. On the back, the phone has an 8MP primary camera and a 2MP depth camera, while the front houses a 5MP selfie camera. The image quality is satisfactory for basic needs. The device boasts a 5000mAh battery, which is impressive and offers long battery life. It runs on ColorOS 13, based on Android 13, right out of the box. However, the device has numerous pre-installed apps, leading to a laggy user experience. Overall, while the phone is a decent option for its price, there are other alternatives in the market worth considering.
