Display

 

OPPO A75 measures 6 inches diagonally. It has IPS LCD display of 18:9 aspect ratio to give you full screen for watching and gaming. The 1080 x 2160 pixels resolution boosts brightness and gives vivid and vibrant pictures. Its color saturation is too good. The Black & White contrast result is also fine. It shows brighter scenes at indoors but it is not perfect for under the sunlight performance.

 

Software

 

OPPO A75 is running on Android OS v7.1.1 which is skinned with Color OS 3.2 which is the latest version of OPPOs’ mobile interface. The Color OS 3.2 overlay adds more beauty. It is featured with split screen and do not disturb mode. The interface also supports Eye filter and Face unlock. It brings new themes and premium look. The only deficiency is that the Android 8.0 Oreo is absent, the most upgraded and newest Android OS.

 

Chipset and CPU

 

OPPO A75 is powered by Mediatek Helio P23 chipset which gives higher performance than Snapdragon 625. It means you are getting smooth and faster speed for multi-tasking. It is aided by 2.5GHz octa core processor coupled with 4GB RAM to endure the load of heavy apps. So, you can play your favorite games with rapid fast performance. Mali-G71 GPU provides very beautiful graphics and you can enjoy animated scenes easily.

 

Camera and AI Wisdom Beauty

Battery

 

OPPO A75 has just 3200mAh (non-removable) battery despite 6-inch FHD+ display.
