  • Umm the Oppo A5 2020 has a 6.5" screen?
    This is the Telstra phone, an outdated ZTE model

    • Lol how did this get a neg for correcting the info in OP and providing the actual specs 🤣

  • Does anyone know what Android version does this run?

    • +1

      Android 9 (Pie) according to the link I just edited in

      • Cool, thanks for that. That would work with 7-eleven app that requires minimum Android 9.0. Now need to find out if the phone can be rooted.

    What an ewaste of a phone.

      What do you mean? Can't it handle basic use like calls, sms and checking Ozbargain?

    • mate not everyone can handle iphone these days

  • I'm pretty sure Telstra spends a lot of money on making their cheap devices as irritating as possible to use.

    Rather than turning a good-to-excellent device into a "Telstra device" by disabling half of it's functionality to get less calls from boomers like they do normally.

  • Essential as in you need it or essential as in only has the essentials? Lol

    this 2/32 format is just really limiting

    i have the evoke model which is effectivelty the same but its 3/64 and its ok

    the cpu gpu isnt the worst i've seen but its generous to say its mediocre

    but overall what kind of phone are you getting for $60? not much so if you had to live with 2/32 you could i guess

  • I would wait for woolies to do run out deal for $10

    My wife is using this as her temporary phone, since her Pixel 3 bricked with the EDL mode issue last week.

    A few things to note:

    • She uses it with a Boost sim, but mobile internet is super slow
    • bluetooth basically doesn't work at all.
    • You aren't able to install gcam on it.

    Luckily she only paid $5 for it in a Woolies clearance, because that's pretty much what its worth.
