Detailed Product Description

Visual Clarity: 90Hz Sunlight Display

The OPPO A38 features a 6.56-inch screen that isn't just large—it's incredibly smart. The 90Hz refresh rate makes scrolling through social media and gaming feel remarkably smooth. For those who spend a lot of time outdoors, the Sunlight Display technology boosts brightness up to 720 nits, ensuring you can read messages or view photos clearly without squinting. It also covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, providing a cinematic experience for your Netflix and YouTube marathons.

Power Refined: 33W SUPERVOOC™ & 5000mAh Battery

One of the biggest pain points for mobile users is slow charging. The A38 eliminates this with 33W SUPERVOOC™ technology. You can charge from 0 to 50% in just about 30 minutes, or get over 5 hours of video playback from a mere 15-minute charge. This is paired with a 5,000mAh battery that is built to last. OPPO’s battery health engine ensures the battery remains efficient even after 1,600 charge cycles, which is roughly four years of daily use. Whether you're commuting or working remotely, the A38 stays powered.

Photography Mastered: 50MP AI Dual Camera

Capture the world in high definition with the 50MP AI Main Camera. The lens is designed to let in more light, producing sharp, vibrant photos even in challenging conditions. The 2MP depth sensor works in tandem to create a natural bokeh effect in Portrait Mode, making your subjects pop like they were shot on a DSLR. On the front, the 5MP selfie camera features AI Portrait Retouching to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining realistic skin tones.

Reliable Performance: Helio G85 & Dynamic RAM

Under the hood, the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset provides the muscle for multitasking and casual gaming. While the physical RAM is 4GB, the A38 supports RAM Expansion technology, which borrows from the internal storage to give you a smoother experience when running multiple apps. This ensures that even as you switch between WhatsApp, Instagram, and your mobile banking apps, the phone remains responsive and lag-free.

Design and Durability

OPPO is known for its "Glow" design, and the A38 is no exception. Available in Glowing Black and Glowing Gold, the back panel has a shimmering texture that resists fingerprints and scratches. Beyond looks, the device is IP54 rated, meaning it is protected against dust and water splashes. Whether it's a sudden rain shower or a dusty environment, your device is engineered to survive the elements.
