Oppo A38 Launched: Price, Specs, and Availability in Nepal
Oppo has officially introduced the Oppo A38, over seven years after the release of the Oppo A37. Let’s take a closer look at what the A38 brings to the table, including its specifications, features, and pricing in Nepal.
Oppo A38 Overview
Design and Display
The Oppo A38 sports a simple yet sleek design with a rounded rectangular shape and a glossy back panel. The frame features a matte texture for a subtle contrast. The device has noticeable bezels around the display, along with a waterdrop notch housing the front camera, which gives it a slightly dated look.
At the back, the smartphone comes with a dual-camera setup accompanied by the branding “Innovative AI Camera.” It weighs around 190 grams and measures approximately 163.74 x 75.03 x 8.16 mm.
For display, the Oppo A38 boasts a 6.56-inch HD+ (1612×720) LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 90Hz touch sampling rate. It offers a peak brightness of 720 nits and supports a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut in vivid mode. The refresh rate can also be adjusted to 60Hz for better power efficiency. Oppo claims that the display consumes 14.7% less power compared to previous models. Additionally, the phone comes with an IP54 rating, ensuring dust and splash resistance.
Another notable feature is the 300% Ultra Volume Mode, which hints at powerful audio output, possibly through stereo speakers. The device is available in two color options: Glowing Black and Glowing Gold.
Performance and Memory
Under the hood, the Oppo A38 is powered by the 12nm MediaTek Helio G85 processor, an octa-core chipset with a clock speed of up to 2.0GHz. It is coupled with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU for graphics performance.
In terms of memory, the device is equipped with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM, which can be virtually expanded by an additional 4GB. The smartphone also offers 128GB of internal storage, which can be further expanded up to 1TB via a microSD card.
Cameras
For photography, the Oppo A38 features a dual-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50MP primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture, alongside a 2MP mono sensor for depth effects. The front camera is a 5MP shooter with a 76.8° field of view and fixed focus support.
Oppo has also integrated AI Portrait Retouching technology, which aims to enhance natural beauty in photos. On the video front, both the front and rear cameras support 1080p recording at 30fps.
Battery and Other Features
The Oppo A38 is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging. Oppo claims that the device can charge from 0% to 50% in just 30 minutes and offers up to 1.6 hours of call time on a 5% charge.
The phone runs on Android 13 with ColorOS 13.1 on top, providing a user-friendly interface with various customization options. For security, the device includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and facial recognition.
