OPPO's A-series has made a name for themselves in the smartphone market by providing great phones for an affordable price, with a strong focus on camera performance.
Their newest entry into the line - the OPPO A96, is now available for pre-order in Malaysia from 18 to 22 April 2022.
Design: A Stylish Built that Delights and Captivates
Affordable yet premium; the OPPO A96's Glow Design is manufactured with the best diamond-cut glass panel and then placed in a vacuum to compress the crystal pattern, creating an eye-catching, smooth, anti-fingerprint and dirt-proof texture. This gives the OPPO A96 its 3D thin centre frame form factor in 2 magnificent colour options.
The bump-up in refresh rate at 90Hz is managed by OPPO’s Adaptive Refresh Rate Technology, OPPO’s self-developed technology for LCD screens, which auto-regulates the screen refresh rate based on what the user is doing, ensuring better smoothness while keeping power usage down. Now, the display covers more of the colour spectrum, making image colours even truer, richer, and more captivating.
By moving the fingerprint sensor to the side for quicker unlock access, OPPO A96 is able to adopt a 3D thin centre frame for a slimmer and more premium look and feel.
