Oppo A76: Tech Review

Oppo has already proved to us that they are one of the best phone manufacturers in the smartphone industry. They also have must-have flagship phones. Given the fact that they already made good phones, I was given the chance to take a look at one of their products. 

Introducing to your the OPPO A76! A beautiful smartphone for Oppo lovers! It’s not common that we see something spectacularly beautiful looking and stylish like this one. It comes with two variants: Glowing Black and Glowing Blue. I can’t wait to have a look at its entirety!

Unboxing

Looking at the box, it has a light-blue color with its brand name and unit name imprinted on it. Inside is the OPPO A76 along with the USB cable and charger. In a small box fits also sim ejector tool, quick start guide and warranty card. It also includes a free protective case that fits perfectly and does not make the phone’s aesthetic any less.

Specifications

Display

It’s a medium sized phone with LCD display. One of the downside of LCD display, however, is its dimmer looking at the phone on broad daylight. It has a size of 6.56 inches and a screen ratio of 89.9%. It has an HD+ screen resolution of 1612×720 and a refresh rate of 90Hz. A 90Hz refresh rate is preferable because it’s smoother and it doesn’t consume more battery life compared to a 60Hz. Furthermore, it has a high touch sampling rate of 180Hz (5 fingers) which offers a better user experience and a faster processing on the hardware front.

Battery

This smartphone boasts its 33W SuperVOOC Charging for its 5000mAh Long-Lasting Battery. Imagine a phone that lasts all day long but can be charged for an hour or less. Boosting its fast charging and battery, Oppo claims that a charge of five minutes can equate to 3.5 hours of phone calls. Although it doesn’t have IP68 or wireless charging, it still ranks up with regards to battery. I was really impressed with this feature because I would be able to do lot of things with this phone for a long time.

Memory and Storage

Oppo A76 is powered by an octave-core Qualcomm Snapdragon680 processor. A CPU speed of cores up to 2.4 Ghz. It has 6GB RAM for a faster data access and you can also switch between applications that are already running in the background. It also boasts its 128 GB ROM where you can store more media files, documents, applications, and more.  Added to this is that it has an expandable memory slot incase you need more storage space. If you plan also to transfer file using OTG, well, Oppo has made this available for you. Just go to settings and turn the OTG ON and start transferring files. Can’t wait to this out for gaming!

Operating System

OPPO is now adding customization options. With ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11 installed in Oppo A76, you’ll be able to choose from three distinct color profiles for dark mode: Enhanced, Medium, and Gentle.

Camera

One of the most important features that we are looking for a good smartphone is its camera. Oppo A76 offers a front camera of 90Hz Colour-Rich Punch-Hole Display with 8MP for a beautiful selfie pictures. For its rear camera, it has a main camera that has a 13MP and a bokeh of 2MP. Shooting mode for its rear camera includes: photo, video, night, expert, panoramic, portrait, time-lapse, text-scanner, and sticker. For front camera, added to it is the portrait option which is best for selfie pictures although video zoom and slow motion is not supported. Well test this on photography. Excited to take pictures on this!

Connectivity

This smartphone has 2 sim slots, both Nano-SIM card type that supports a frequency band for 2g, 3g, and 4g. Downside is that it doesn’t support 5g connection. It also supports Wi-Fi Display and Wi-Fi tethering for connecting to other devices like screen mirroring and hotspot. It also has Bluetooth 5.0 version, compared to its predecessor Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy, it is twice as fast and has four times the range and can transfer eight times as much data.

Audio

Playing music and media with this phone makes me want to hear more because of its clear and loud output that makes viewing and listening enjoyable. It still has a headphone jack of 3.5mm for wired headsets but it still supports wireless headsets perfectly.

GAMING

One of my hobbies is playing games especially mobile legends. I’m really excited to test this out with its 6gb RAM and octave-core Qualcomm Snapdragon680 processor. Although I’ve known Oppo that their specialty is its camera and aesthetics, let’s try this phone for gaming!

Checking on the settings, and wow! It has Ultra Graphics. As a midrange phone, it was surprisingly fast in mobile legends although there are instances of lag which is bearable.

For its graphics, it’s good on the selection menu but when I was playing the game it’s not that detailed. Probably because this phone focused more on its battery and charging. However, it still does what’s expected of it and I think it does even better.

I enjoyed playing with Oppo A76 and won! Awesome!
