If you’re looking for great gifts for the holiday season, then you might want to check out the OPPO A77s and the OPPO A17k, both of which are available in the Philippines.
OPPO’s latest A-Series features large displays, beautiful designs, capable cameras, and huge batteries at affordable price points.
Let’s take a quick look at what makes each smartphone special.
OPPO A77s
The OPPO A77s is the eldest child of the new A-Series that includes the OPPO A17 and OPPO A17k. It features an ultra-slim retro design with flat sides, right-angled edges, and a thickness of just 7.99mm.
For those looking for style, there are two colorways to choose from — Sunset Orange with a fiberglass and leather build, and Starry Black, a classic hue with the familiar OPPO Glow.
Moving to the front, the OPPO A77s has a 90Hz 6.56-inch HD+ display with a 100% DCI-P3, an automatic dimming mode that protects the eyes, and a thin water drop selfie camera. And to complete the viewing experience, there are dual stereo speakers with ultra volume mode and Dirac 3.0 support.
Under the hood, the OPP A77s is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chip with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, offering double performance compared to the OPPO A76 with better efficiency.
In the battery department, the 5000mAh capacity can last up to two days of use, while the 33W SUPERVOOC Fast-Charging can top up the phone to 50 percent in just 30 minutes. The phone also features OPPO’s exclusive charging protection that includes five layers of security protection, night charging protection, and battery safety protection.
For photography, the OPPO A77s boasts a dual camera setup with a 50MP primary camera, aided by a 2MP secondary camera for depth. While in the front, an 8MP shooter takes care of selfies.
