The new budget smartphone is set to bundle 4G support with usual connectivity options such as WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. It will run on ColorOS 13.1 custom UI.

A week ago, it was spotted on NBTC with the Oppo A18. We expect both the devices to launch on the same day. However, the specification details of Oppo A38 are not yet confirmed, but we expect more details to surface before the official launch via leaks.

It is expected to be the Oppo A36 successor which was launched last year. It bundles a 6.56-inch FHD display with 720 x 1612 pixels resolution. The smartphone debuted with Snapdragon 680 4G SoC, 6/8GB RAM, and 128/256GB storage. There is a 13MP primary camera sensor and a 2MP auxiliary camera. In connectivity, there’s Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a USB Type-C 2.0 port.

The Oppo A38 could feature a MediaTek Helio chipset, presumably the Helio G90 or G88.
