While the official preorder period of OPPO Philippines’ next smartphone offering is scheduled for September 12 to September 21, the company’s promoters have already begun accepting preorders for it.
(Update, December 12: Our OPPO A98 5G review is up!)
We’re talking about the OPPO A98 5G, which we first wrote about in May. It’s set to become available nationwide from September 22 with a suggested retail price of P18,999 (around $335) for the variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, according to the promoters.
The introduction of the OPPO A98 5G in the Philippines follows the launch of the OPPO Reno10 Series 5G and 4G-capable A58. It’s powered by a 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67-watt SUPERVOOC fast wired charging. According to OPPO, you should be able to top up the phone from zero to 50% in just 18 minutes, while a full charge is estimated to take 44 minutes.
Its IPS display measures 6.72 inches across and boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. For selfies, this phone houses a sharp 32-megapixel camera in a center punch hole. Elsewhere, the OPPO A98 5G is equipped with a 64-megapixel main camera and a pair of 2-megapixel sensors for depth and super-macro shots. Notably, its rear camera system adopts the microscope-like lens with 40x magnification of the Reno8 T series, allowing users to shoot everyday objects with a fresh perspective.
Not an official poster, but we found several Facebook posts showing this promotion for the OPPO A98 5G. Preorder the phone and get a free pair of TWS earbuds worth P1,499 ($266)!
