Yesterday, the OPPO A96 5G emerged on the internet in the form of renders. Only a few hours from that, the smartphone is now official in China. It comes with a flat frame design, OLED display, notification LED rings around the two rear cameras, and a Qualcomm chipset.
OPPO A96 5G Specifications and Features
The OPPO A96 5G features a flat frame like the OPPO Reno7 series. However, the rear camera layout is similar to that of the recent realme phones. Additionally, there are LED rings around these cameras. The OPPO Reno7 Pro also has a similar LED light for notifications but it runs along the rectangular camera island.
The back panel of the handset has numerous crystal-like structures to offer a matte and elegant finish like the OPPO Reno series. The device measures around 7.59mm in thickness and weighs about 171g.
Further, the smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. It also has support for 5GB virtual RAM.
On the front, the phone flaunts a 6.43-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 60Hz refresh rate, up to 180Hz touch sampling rate, 1000000:1 contrast ratio, DCI-P3 color gamut support, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. There’s also a punch-hole nesting a 16MP selfie camera at the top left corner. Whereas, on the back, the handset houses a 48MP (wide) + 2MP (depth) dual-camera setup.
As the name suggests, the OPPO A96 5G offers 5G connectivity backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. Last but not least, it runs ColorOS 12.
