OPPO A97 5G

Oppo A97 5G Launch in India

After being seen in various teasers, the OPPO A97 5G has now officially been released in China. This latest A-series device from OPPO, as its name implies, is capable of supporting 5G networks in terms of its hardware characteristics. The mobile device is driven by an octa-core CPU manufactured by MediaTek. This engine is combined with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage space. Now, let’s have a look at the A97 5G’s price and other details.

Oppo A97 5G Price in India

In China, the OPPO A97 5G can be purchased for a price of CNY 1,999 (or 23,700). The only option available for the device is 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage space. Beginning today, consumers in China will be able to place a pre-order for the mobile device, and it will go into retail there on July 15, 2022. Both black and blue are available colour choices for the mobile device. It is still unknown whether or not the product will make its first appearance on the international market.

Oppo A97 5G Design

The flat-frame layout of the Oppo A97 5G is one of the device’s defining characteristics. On the back of the phone is a rectangular-shaped camera module that contains two cameras. On the front side, there is a cutout in the shape of a dewdrop, which is something that you’ll see in entry-level smartphones as well. So, Oppo should have improved the design on the front side.

The most recent iteration of Oppo’s 5G smartphone has a weight of 188 grams and 7.99 millimetres in depth. It clearly indicates that you’ll be able to use it single-handedly without any difficulty since the device is light in weight and is quite thin. You’ll find a side-mounted fingerprint installed on the Oppo A97 5G. Dual stereo speakers, along with support for Dirac, have been included in the device.

Oppo A97 5G Display

The OPPO A97 5G is equipped with a 6.56-inch IPS LCD screen that is capable of displaying images in Full HD+ quality. The display is characterized by a notch in the form of a dewdrop and a refresh rate of 90Hz. However, there are devices in this price bracket offering AMOLED panels and even 120Hz refresh rates. So, there is nothing special about the Oppo A57 5G display. Oppo could have done more improvements to make the whole offer attractive. 

Oppo A97 5G Performance

It comes preinstalled with an Android operating system that is based on Android 12 and is backed by the MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC, which is clearly a battery-efficient processor and can handle your daily tasks with ease. The Oppo A97 supports 5G connectivity and is equipped with 12GB of random access memory (RAM) and 256GB of internal storage. In addition, you have the ability to extend the RAM theoretically up to 19GB by making use of the device’s inbuilt storage. However, given that it is only a marketing gimmick, we do not anticipate it to be very successful.

Oppo A97 5G Camera

The view of the dual digital cameras greets us as we turn the OPPO A97 5G around and gaze at the rear of the device. On this camera system backed by artificial intelligence, the primary camera has a resolution of 48 megapixels, while the secondary camera has a resolution of 2 megapixels. Despite the fact that the company has not made any formal statements about the matter, the second camera sports a depth-focused lens. It doesn’t seem that the device is carrying an ultra-wide lens.  There is a 12MP selfies camera installed on the front of the device.

Oppo A97 5G Battery

The power for the whole package comes from a battery with 5,000 milliampere hours and 33 watts of rapid charging capacity that is accessible via the USB Type-C connector. The battery section is clearly amazing and you’ll be able to use the device for the full day on a single charge.

Oppo A97 5G Verdict

The Oppo A97 5G has a robust CPU and a huge battery with decent support for quick charging and the device features large RAM and internal storage.   However, this product has a number of issues, the most notable of which are the lack of an ultra-wide lens, insufficient display characteristics, and a notch that looks like a dew drop on the front of the gadget. If the camera and display are not your priority, you may go with this device. However, there are other options available that too at lower costs with more capable specs.
