Over a week since it's release, we finally have OPPO Philippines' first smartphone offering this 2018
Meet the OPPO A71 2018 which they made a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450-powered more affordable. You can check the rest of the specs thru our blog post link.
We got the black version of the phone which brings back some memories of the 2017 A71 with the 5 MP front camera, Android capactive buttons and 5.2 inch HD display wrapped already in their pre-applied screen protector.
The back has invisible antenna lines as well as the 13 MP rear cam, noise cancelling mic, flash and OPPO logo. It is quite prone to fingerprint smudges so the other color variant might be a better choice
Same placings that we seen in previous OPPO phones: volume buttons at the left, power/unlock button and dual nano SIM and micro SD in one tray at the right.
Also on the top with 3.5 mm. audio jack, single speaker, mic that also looks like one of the speakers and OTG-capable micro USB port at the bottom
I am quite surprised that OPPO did not include a protective casing but you might consider for it's low price that they are asking. The package also comes with user manual, warranty, sim ejector pin, micro USB to USB cable and 5V 1A travel charger
Looking at the specs sheet except a bit of concern that they chose to put in 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage, OPPO A71 2018 might be a solid contendet for their asking price of Php 7,990. Watch out for our review soon
