Design and Display
The Oppo A1k is an entry-level phone that’s clothed in a plastic body and metal frame, thereby giving it a 170g weight. Entities like the power button reside on the right while the volume controllers are on the left. Its design is very basic to save the dewdrop notch. However, one of the most notable shortcomings is the absence of the fingerprint scanner for touch ID.
Large screens are becoming customary features of mobile phones of late. Oppo A1k is no exception as its display is a 6.1-inch IPS touchscreen. All are not too rosy as the resolution is pegged at 720 x 1560 pixels. But here’s a mind-blowing protective property – Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
Battery and Camera
You’ll hardly need to refill the power pack frequently because the 4,000mAh battery provides an all-day endurance. Well, that’s one important quality that makes a budget smartphone worthwhile.
Taking off to the camera zone, the notch cutout contains a 5MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture. On its side, there’s a soft flash that administers the right brightness dosage in poorly lit areas. Flipping it, the 8MP rear camera is also built with the f/2.2 aperture and a LED flash for imagery.
Hardware and Software
Seeing the camera specs above, image qualities won’t consume too much space that’ll put the 32GB storage under pressure quickly. If it eventually does, a MicroSD slot can extend the storage by a 256GB margin. Oppo A1k gets the latest Android Pie dish together with ColorOS 6.
The chief coordinator on this device is the MediaTek Helio P22. It possesses an octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 that runs at 2.0GHz speed. All things that have to do with graphics are sorted by the PowerVR GE830 GPU.
Oppo A1k Price and Availability
