Comparisons Featuring Oppo A12
Short Review
- The Oppo A12 features a plastic build with a glass front, measuring 155.9 x 75.5 x 8.3 mm and weighing 165 grams, available in blue and black.
- Its 6.22-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 270 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
- Powered by the Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset, it utilizes an octa-core CPU and comes with options for 3GB or 4GB of RAM, delivering satisfactory performance for everyday tasks.
- The rear camera setup includes a 13 MP main sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p, while the 5 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
- The 4230 mAh battery supports extended usage but does not feature fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 9.0 with ColorOS 6.1, the software experience is functional but may feel dated.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, though it lacks 5G support and NFC.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the Oppo A12 is a straightforward smartphone with essential features suitable for general use.
