Other features

The Oppo A77s comes with 33W fast charging, the phone can get fully charged in 69 minutes. That’s not bad at all. That in addition to the fact that it also comes with a Li-Po 5000mAh non-removable battery. Even with the high refresh rate screen, this should be more than enough. The main concession would be that there is no wireless charging here. It supports NFC for contactless paying. it comes in Orange and Black. color variants.

Similarly, priced phones would include Samsung Galaxy F22, Xiaomi Redmi 10, the Oppo A16 and Tecno Pova 2. the main distinctions at this price point is often a choice of better camera or more memory. The sizes are usually standard and the batteries are often huge. It’s unlikely there are fast charging options as the price is too competitive.

The design is great, and looks at par as many midranges in the market now. The OS will feel right at home, especially if you have used an Oppo phone before. It however does not support 5G.
