Camera hardware is largely shared territory here, but one structural difference stands out: the Oppo A5 4G has a dual-lens rear camera (50 MP + 2 MP), while the TCL 605 relies on a single 50 MP sensor. The Oppo's secondary 2 MP lens is typically used for depth sensing, enabling more controlled background blur in portrait shots. It is a modest addition, but it does give the Oppo slightly more computational photography flexibility. On aperture, the TCL's main lens actually has a wider f/1.8 opening compared to the Oppo's secondary lens at f/2.4 — though both share similar primary shooting characteristics at their respective main sensors.
Beyond that structural difference, these two cameras are functionally identical across every other listed specification. Both shoot 1080p video at 30 fps, support phase-detection autofocus, continuous autofocus during recording, slow-motion, HDR mode, and offer the same manual controls including ISO, focus, exposure, and white balance. Neither offers optical image stabilization, optical zoom, or RAW capture. The front camera is also a match: 5 MP with an f/2.2 aperture on both, with no front flash on either.
This category is close to a tie, with the Oppo holding a narrow edge solely due to its dual-lens setup, which enables depth-aware photography that the TCL cannot replicate in hardware. For users who rely on portrait mode or bokeh effects, this distinction matters. For all other shooting scenarios, expect near-identical results from both devices.
