Chinese manufacturer OPPO unveiled its selfie-centric smartphone, the OPPO A77, back in May this year with 16 MP front camera. Well, the company has now expanded its portfolio of A series smartphones by quietly announcing the OPPO A71.
The OPPO A71 flaunts a uni-body metal design and sports “lustre edge” at the sides to make it feel slim and comfortable to hold. According to OPPO, the lustre edge is an edge line that “connects all of the buttons, holes, and interfaces, to enhance the sense of wholeness”.
The OPPO A71 comes with MediaTek’s MT6750 SoC which is coupled with 3 GB RAM. The A71 sports a 5.2-inch display having a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The OPPO A71, unlike the A77, isn’t a selfie-centric smartphone, and hence, comes with a 5 MP camera on the front. For regular shots, you get a 13 MP camera at the back.
The OPPO A71 runs ColorOS 3.1 which is based on Android 7.1 Nougat. The device has 16 GB of storage with an option to expand it via microSD card. Powering this entire package is a 3000 mAh battery, however, there’s no fingerprint scanner on the A71.
