Oppo has finally launched the low mid-range Oppo A12 smartphone in Nepal. The device powers on the MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset and boots on the Color OS 6.1 atop Android 9.0 Pie. The A12 brings an f/2.2 13MP wide primary sensor along with an f/2.4 2MP depth sensor at the back and a single f/2.0 5MP sensor at the front.
The Oppo A12 has a 6.22-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with 720 x 1520 pixels resolution, 19:9 aspect ratio, and a 270 ppi pixel density with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It looks a lot like the Realme C2 with a similar diamond-cut finish at the back except the fingerprint scanner. With dimension and weight translating to 155.9 x 75.5 x 8.3 mm (6.14 x 2.97 x 0.33 in) and 165 gram respectively, you’ll have no trouble carrying it with a single hand.
Underneath we have a 12nm based MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset paired with 3GB/4GB RAM and 32GB/64GB eMMC 5.1 storage, expandable via microSDXC.
Out of the box we have Color OS 6.1 atop Android 9.0 Pie on the software front. However, an update to the next Android iterations still seems skeptical with the Android 10 still not on the horizon.
The Oppo A12 comes with a dual-camera setup at the back comprising an f/2.2 13MP wide sensor and an f/2.4 2MP depth sensor, though an ultra-wide sensor inclusion would have been better. At the front lies an f/2.0 5MP selfie shooter housed in the water-drop notch.
Powering the device is a 4,230mAh cell to keep the lights on that should last a day considering an HD display and Helio P35 processor. Other noticeable feature includes a loudspeaker, 3.5mm audio jack, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, A2DP Bluetooth 5.0, micro USB 2.0, and a fingerprint scanner.
