Oppo A8 Highlights and Overview

Advertisements

The Oppo A8 is a mid-range smart phone from OPPO Mobile, launched in December 2019. It comes in a 6.5-inch IPS HD+ display with 720 x 1600 pixels resolution. The A8 uses a 20:9 aspect ratio and come with a water-dropping notch overhead, where the selfie camera is hidden. 

Under the hood, there is an Octa-core MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35 CPU, clocked at 2.3GHz, along with PowerVR GE8320 GPU, a 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, expandable via microSD card. The device looks very similar in specifications with the Vivo Y17, except for the use of the larger 6.5-inch screen on the A8, as against the 6.35-inch on the Y17.

Interestingly, the device packs a triple rear camera setup of 12-megapixel main sensor, 2-megapixel macro lense, and another 2-megapixel depth sensor, couple with a single LED flash. Upfront, OPPO made use of a single 8-megapixel sensor to cater for selfie and video chats. 

What’s more? The device also comes with a rear placed fingerprint scanner and AI FaceID. There’s dual nano-SIMs with support for 4G LTE network on both SIMs. The A8 is powered by a 4230mAh battery, and runs Android 9.0 Pie out of the box.
