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.

OPPO A96 5G Price and Availability

The OPPO A96 5G in a single 8GB + 256GB memory configuration is priced at ¥1,999 ($315) in China. It is up for pre-order and will go on sale from January 9.

The device arrives in three colors, namely Apricot Powder Warm Sun (peach), Colored Glaze (multi-color gradient), and Night Dream Night Star (Black).

The post OPPO A96 5G launched with camera LED rings, Snapdragon 695 SoC, OLED display, and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo kickstarted last year with the launch of the Oppo A93 5G smartphone in China. Soon after that, the company unveiled the Oppo A94 in multiple markets in both 4G and 5G variants. Later the company launched the Oppo A95 5G and 4G models in China and Malaysia. Now, Oppo seems to be gearing up to launch the successor Oppo A96 5G soon as new renders of the phone have emerged on the Internet.

Thanks to @evleaks, we now have a clear look at the upcoming Oppo A96 5G. As per the images, the smartphone features a pristine look at the rear. It has a dual-camera system that looks much cleaner.

The camera island isn’t the obvious black like the predecessor, rather it is of the same colour as the back panel. The phone has an LED flashlight and a 5G branding besides the lenses.

Upfront, it has a punch-hole panel with thin bezels on all three sides except for the bottom. At the bottom, it has a thick chin. The phone seems to have an earpiece at the top, a power button on the right spin; and volume buttons, sim-card tray on the left.

The smartphone looks somewhat similar to the recently teased Oppo Reno7 series, Realme 9i, and the already available Realme GT Neo 2. The renders also confirm its color variants – Black, Pink, Blue Gradient(a mix of Blue & Purple).

Apart from this, the Oppo A96 5G may come with an AMOLED screen and could be powered by a mid-range 5G SoC. As of now, the specs for the phone are unknown but we may hear more about the phone soon.
