Oppo A77 in Nepal: New design, high refresh rate and fast charging are the things to look forward to

Oppo A77 has arrived in Nepal. The phone has been released along with Oppo A57.

With Oppo A16K being its latest release, Oppo has not been much active in releasing its smartphones. Most of the smartphones released by the company are in the budget range and there are barely any smartphones competing in the mid-range. But, Oppo A77 is a mid-range offering from the company.

This is also the successor of Oppo A76 released earlier this year. The phone comes with changes in the design compared to its predecessor. It has a high refresh rate support display. The phone also has a power-efficient chipset and runs on the latest version of Android. There is a fast charging system on the phone as well.

Let’s get into the details to know what more the Oppo A77 is offering.

Specifications

Design and display

Like most Oppo phones, Oppo A77 has a pleasant design. It has a glass front, plastic back and plastic frame build. The matte finish on the back adds decent styling to the phone and also makes the phone free from fingerprints.  The phone also has a new camera module, which definitely looks more standard than the one from the previous model. There is a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the phone for biometrics. The phone is also IPX4 rated and is splash resistant.

Oppo A77 weighs only 190 grams and is 8mm thick. It is available in ocean blue and midnight black colours.

On the front is a 6.56-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720*1,612 pixels and 269 PPI density. It supports a refresh rate of 90Hz and can achieve a peak brightness of up to 600 nits. To reduce the eye strain of the users, the phone has an AI eye comfort and blue light reduction feature.

Cameras

Oppo A77 has a minimalistic camera feature. The phone has a 50MP main camera sensor on the back, which has been accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor. Similarly, on the front, there is an 8MP camera for photos and videos. The 2MP depth sensor seems just a desperate addition to the phone as it has significantly less use and a good picture cannot be expected from it.

Both cameras on the front and back can capture 1080p resolution videos at 30fps.

Performance and storage

Oppo A77 runs on ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12. Oppo has decided to switch to MediaTek SoC this time instead of Qualcomm. The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio G35 (12nm) chipset while the graphical duties are handled by PowerVR GE8320.

The phone is available in 4GB RAM coupled with 128GB of internal storage. The user can extend both RAM and internal storage on this phone. The RAM memory can be expanded by up to 4GB through extended RAM technology, which is available on most Oppo smartphones. The internal storage can also be expanded with a microSD card, for which the phone has a dedicated slot.

Battery life, connectivity and others

Oppo A77 has a 5,000mAh non-removable li-po battery. This power should be enough to provide backup for a couple of days under normal use. There is a 33W fast charger on the box to charge the phone. With only 30 minutes of charging, the battery gets up to 53 per cent.  

The phone supports dual sims with 4G network connectivity. It supports dual-band wifi and NFC as well. Bluetooth 5.3 on the phone can be used to wirelessly pair with other devices. Similarly, USB Type-C 2.0 cable can be used for charging as well as for wired pairing. The user should enjoy the audio from the phone as it has ultra-linear dual stereo speakers. Oppo says the speakers create dual-channel surround sound and targeted tuning for different modes. Oppo also has included a 3.5mm headphone jack on this model.

• New camera module
