OPPO A 6x 4G vs Samsung Galaxy A27

Our Verdict: The decision tilts toward Samsung Galaxy A27 if you care most about the sharper 385 PPI display, a higher-resolution 50MP rear camera, and the stronger 12MP front camera. OPPO A 6x 4G is the better match for buyers who would rather have a 6.75" screen and a 13MP rear camera. Price-sensitive SIM-free buyers should notice OPPO A 6x 4G's £117 listing first. In short, Samsung Galaxy A27 is the safer recommendation for users who want those extras, but OPPO A 6x 4G is not just a fallback.

The A5 2020 6x 4G is the cheaper one to own: around £255 over a typical contract, £191 less than the A27.
