Oppo A38

Last week’s teaser has now materialized as the Oppo A38, which has silently made its official appearance on Oppo’s website in the United Arab Emirates. As anticipated, this smartphone boasts a prominent 50MP primary camera and utilizes a 4G-enabled chipset, despite the widespread availability of 5G networks in major urban areas across the UAE.

The Oppo A38 presents users with a spacious 6.56-inch display featuring HD+ resolution and a silky-smooth 90Hz refresh rate, complemented by an equally responsive 90Hz touch sampling rate. The front camera, discreetly tucked into a waterdrop notch, houses a 5MP sensor.

On the rear panel, a dual-camera setup awaits, with the 50MP primary camera taking center stage with its f/1.8 aperture and autofocus capabilities. Accompanying it is a 2MP depth sensor, playing a supporting role. Both sensors are neatly encased within individual rings on a pill-shaped platform.

Beneath the surface, the Oppo A38 relies on the Mediatek Helio G85 platform to deliver performance, backed by 4 GB of RAM and a generous 128 GB of storage, expandable by up to 1 TB through the micro SD slot. The chipset also houses a MALI G52-MC2 integrated GPU, making it suitable for basic gaming needs.

Powering this device is a robust 5,000 mAh battery, supporting 33W SuperVOOC charging and an additional PD (9V/1.5A) input. Oppo’s AE division has reassured users of 2.5 years of software updates, ensuring the longevity of this budget-friendly smartphone.

The Oppo A38 comes equipped with dual-SIM capability, a 3.5 mm audio jack, the latest Bluetooth 5.3 technology, and support for all primary GNSS standards. It arrives in two stylish finishes – Black and Gold. While pricing and availability details remain undisclosed, this smartphone presents an enticing proposition for prospective buyers.
