2-minute Review [Positives]	Slick, beautiful, eye-catching gradient finish on the back (though the back is laminated plastic and not glass) Fairly slim and light for a phone with such a large display Oppo F15's in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock work very well - face unlock even works well in dimly lit places Very good 6.4-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a dewdrop notch and Gorilla Glass 5 protection - the colours are good, so is the sharpness - videos look sharp, with punchy colours, and the viewing angles are quite wide Display gets adequately bright and is legible even under sunlight You can watch Netflix and Prime in crisp HD resolution as Oppo F15 comes with Widevine L1 support ColorOS is fairly streamlined, and packs fast animations that help the phone feel snappy - there are of course several add-on features too, compared to what you would get in stock Android Decent performance with the MediaTek Helio P70 SoC (similar to Snapdragon 660) - day-to-day operations are smooth and you can even play games like PUBG Mobile on 'Medium' graphics setting Thermal performance is good too - the phone doesn't overheat when using the cameras extensively or even playing games Good quad-camera setup at the rear - 48MP primary + 8MP wide-angle + 2MP depth sensor + 2MP monochrome sensor The primary camera shoots oversampled 12-megapixel stills - in daylight, it captures fairly detailed landscape shots, colours are vivid, detail is good, and there's little to no noise in darker areas The wide-angle camera has autofocus, so stills taken have good detail, close-ups are sharp and detailed too - and if you get really close to your subject with the wide-angle camera, you'll be able to get good macro shots Portrait mode works decently well with human subjects and you can adjust the level of blur before taking the shot - edge detection is decent and image quality is good, when shooting under good light 16-megapixel selfie camera manages some pretty good-looking stills in daylight - skin textures are smoothen a bit but HDR works well and colours are well represented - with good amounts of artificial light around, it manages to get pleasing enough selfies even at night Video quality is decent and there is stabilisation when shooting using the primary camera The mono speaker gets fairly loud Battery life is pretty solid, backed by the 4000 mAh cell - will easily last a day and half with moderate use The Oppo F15 charges pretty quickly too with the supplied 20W Charger, about 88 percent in an hour Overall, Oppo F15 is a decent smartphone - it looks good, and it impresses particularly with its slimness, light weight, and good display	Looks slick, and reflects off the same iridescent rainbow-like effects at the back as the Samsung Galaxy A50 when caught against light, only this one, comes with a prism-like pattern that Samsung calls a “3D prism design” - it's a head-turner no doubt And while the Samsung Galaxy A50s bears a polycarbonate body, it doesn’t look cheap and sports a very premium “glassy” look overall On the front is a sharp, modern panel with slim-bezels, and a U-shaped notch design (similar to Galaxy A50) Facial recognition to unlock your phone works well Beautiful 6.4-inch Full HD+ Infinity-U Super AMOLED display with a high 91.6% screen-to-body ratio, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection The screen looks sharp and bright, and being an AMOLED display, you will get deep black and vivid colors - sunlight legibility is also pretty good Samsung's One UI is now one of the better, more clean and streamlined Android UIs around, and is well optimised for modern large displays (like this one) Samsung has also added a Game Booster tool to the A50s to offer a better gaming experience Other features include an intuitive gesture-based navigation system, and an option to wake up Bixby using the power button Solid mid-range performance with the robust Samsung Exynos 9611 SoC (similar to Snapdragon 660 and Exynos 9610) - the experience is pleasant and smooth throughout including with games like PUBG Mobile and Asphalt 9 Good thermal management too - the phone doesn't warm up quickly despite extended game play Decent set of triple rear cameras for the price bracket - a 48MP primary camera with an f/2.0 aperture a second 5MP depth camera with f/2.2 aperture, and a third 8MP ultra-wide lens The quality of the pictures from the primary camera is quite good during daylight and outdoors - the A50s handles high-contrast scenes well and adds the right amount of detail and vibrance Night mode works reasonably ok for low-light situations and doesn’t add unnatural exposure to the scene Portrait mode ("Live focus") works well too especially when capturing outdoor daylight scenes Decent video recording performance with a dedicated 'super steady' mode which allows you to shoot decent “action” videos Decent 32MP selfie camera - in daylight outdoor lighting, selfies clicked turn out quite clear (not so much is low-light though) Overall, this is a fairly good camera setup for this price bracket (though not quite up to the level of the category leaders) Very good battery life with a 4000mAh battery - you will get about 1.5 days of use
2-minute Review [Negatives]	Oppo F15 is a tall phone - it's not the easiest phone to fit into a pocket There is, as usual, some bloatware that comes pre-installed (but most of it can be uninstalled) While the chip offers decent performance, this chip is typically expected in phones closer to the Rs. 10, 000 mark (such as the Realme 3) - the Oppo F15 feels underpowered, considering that the Realme X2 and Redmi K20 offer Qualcomm's superior Snapdragon 730 series SoCs at the same price Selfie portrait mode doesn't work too well, unfortunately, whether it's day or night There are few caveats here, like there's no option to shoot at the full 48-megapixel resolution - other features such as super-steady video and the ability to use Night mode for the selfie camera are also absent In low light, image quality from both primary & wide-angle camera is average, details are weaker and there is visible noise in the darker regions - the ‘Night' mode helps brighten up scenes but the details don't improve much No 4K video recording, which most of its competitors support In low-light, video quality is noticeably worse with poor details and a persistent shimmer in the footage even with slight movement Overall, camera performance could have been better, as two of its main competitors, the Realme X2 & the Redmi K20 offer better image quality However, at this price, you're better off with either the Realme X2 or the Redmi K20 - both of which offer much better performance, even more premium build quality, and even more modern designs	The fingerprint sensor that sits beneath the display, is a tad bit slow The phone is a smudge-magnet, relatively easy to scratch, and also slippery (so you will want to use a case) This is however not the best performing phone in this price bracket - you will get better CPUs and stronger performance from Xiaomi and Realme phones The camera app is a little bit slow to launch and there is a small shutter lag when capturing photos As is right now the case with most mid-range phones, the wide-angle camera’s photos look fairly distorted, and details are soft Low light performance could have been better, across the board Volume levels of the speaker are a bit on the low side and could have been better - it's a little difficult to hear audio outdoors in a noisy environment Although the phone supports 15W fast charging, but it only includes a 10W standard (non fast) charger - it takes over 3 hours for A50s to go from 0% to 100% On the whole, the A50s, while a pretty decent phone by itself, will find the competition much more intense (than what its predecessor A50 faced) - unless you are a Samsung loyalist, you will want to look at the competition especially from the likes of Realme and Xiaomi
