The 2017 GR3 seemingly one of the better looking phones you can buy on a budget. While this is no "flagship killer", it isn't even trying to be one.

The front camera is just above average, but produces decent results for the casual social media selfie.

If your phone's battery dying on you before the day ends is one of the bigger nightmares of your life, even staring at phones with a battery capacity south of 4000 mAh is plain blasphemous. Processing power is top notch with adequate RAM to give many phones priced almost twice as more a run for their money. Where it is outshined by some of the others on this list is the photography department, but its certainly not far behind.

Why buy:

When recommending a sub-20k phone to someone, to pick one between the Moto G5 Plus and this Oppo A57 is probably even more difficult than choosing between beef and salmon steak for dinner. To pick out a winner, you'd have to compromise one way or another. Where the Oppo trumps the G5 with the camera. Apart from that, they are almost neck and neck.

This phone is nothing but an incremental update to the last years successful first gen of MAX series. Like its predecessor, this phone comes with a mammoth battery as well.
