Design and Display

The OPPO A77 boasts a sleek and modern design that’s sure to turn heads. With dimensions of 163.8 x 75.1 x 8 mm and weighing 190 grams, it strikes a good balance between screen size and comfort in hand. The phone features a glass front, plastic frame, and plastic back, which helps keep costs down while still providing a premium feel.

One of the standout features of the OPPO A77 is its 6.56-inch IPS LCD display. This large screen offers plenty of real estate for browsing, gaming, and watching videos. The 90Hz refresh rate is a nice touch, providing smoother scrolling and more fluid animations compared to standard 60Hz displays. While the resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels (HD+) might not be the sharpest on the market, it’s more than adequate for most users and helps conserve battery life.

The display also boasts a peak brightness of 600 nits in high brightness mode (HBM), ensuring good visibility even in bright outdoor conditions. The 20:9 aspect ratio provides a tall, narrow form factor that’s great for one-handed use and multitasking.

Performance and Hardware

Under the hood, the OPPO A77 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset. This 6nm processor offers a good balance of performance and energy efficiency, making it well-suited for a mid-range device. The octa-core CPU configuration, with two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and six efficiency Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz, ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks and light gaming.

The Mali-G57 MC2 GPU handles graphics duties, providing decent performance for casual gaming and video playback. While it may struggle with the most demanding 3D games at high settings, it’s more than capable for most mobile gaming needs.

The OPPO A77 comes with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, which is plenty for smooth multitasking. The 128GB of internal storage (UFS 2.2) provides ample space for apps, photos, and videos. If you need more storage, the microSD card slot allows for easy expansion.

Camera Capabilities

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the OPPO A77’s camera setup. The main camera features a 48MP wide-angle lens with an f/1.7 aperture and phase detection autofocus (PDAF). This high-resolution sensor allows for detailed shots in good lighting conditions. The secondary 2MP depth sensor aids in creating a natural bokeh effect for portrait shots.

On the front, an 8MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture takes care of your self-portraits and video calls. While not the highest resolution, it should be more than adequate for social media posts and video chats.

The camera app comes with several features to enhance your photography experience, including HDR, panorama mode, and AI scene recognition. Video recording capabilities include 1080p at 30 frames per second for both the main and selfie cameras.

Battery Life and Charging

One of the OPPO A77’s strongest points is its battery life. The large 5000mAh battery should easily last a full day of moderate to heavy use. For many users, it might even stretch to two days with lighter usage.

When it’s time to recharge, the 33W fast charging support is a welcome feature. OPPO claims this can charge the phone from 0 to 53% in just 30 minutes, which is impressive for a mid-range device. This means less time tethered to a charger and more time using your phone.

Software and User Experience

The OPPO A77 comes with ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12 out of the box, but it’s upgradable to Android 14 with ColorOS 14. This ensures you have access to the latest features and security updates from Google, as well as OPPO’s own enhancements.

ColorOS offers a smooth and customizable user experience with features like an always-on display, dark mode, and various gesture controls. The interface is user-friendly and should be easy to navigate even for those new to Android or OPPO devices.

Connectivity and Additional Features

The OPPO A77 is a 5G-capable device, future-proofing your purchase and allowing for faster data speeds where 5G networks are available. It also supports dual SIM functionality, which is great for those who need to manage personal and work numbers on a single device.

Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX HD support for high-quality wireless audio, and NFC for contactless payments. The phone also features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for quick and secure unlocking.

The IPX4 splash resistance rating provides some peace of mind against accidental water exposure, though it’s not fully waterproof. The inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack is a nice touch for those who prefer wired audio or have older headphones.

OPPO A77 vs. Competitors

When comparing the OPPO A77 to its predecessors and competitors, it holds its own quite well. Compared to the OPPO A76, the A77 offers 5G connectivity and a slightly better camera setup, making it a worthy upgrade for those looking for faster internet speeds and improved photography capabilities.

The OPPO A58, while a newer model, shares many similarities with the A77. The A58 does offer a higher resolution main camera (50MP vs 48MP) and potentially more RAM in some variants, but the A77’s 5G capabilities might make it a better choice for some users.

Looking at other brands, the OPPO A77 competes with devices like the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. The A77 holds its own in terms of battery life and charging speed, though some competitors may offer higher-resolution displays or more versatile camera setups.

In the same price range, you’ll find phones like the Realme 9 5G and the Poco M4 Pro 5G. These devices offer similar specifications, with slight variations in camera capabilities, processor choice, and design. The OPPO A77 distinguishes itself with its sleek design, long battery life, and the well-regarded ColorOS user interface.

Ultimately, the OPPO A77 presents a compelling package for its price point in Qatar. It offers a good balance of performance, battery life, and camera capabilities, wrapped in an attractive design. While it may not have the highest resolution display or the most powerful processor in its class, it provides a well-rounded experience that should satisfy most users’ needs.

For those in Qatar looking for a reliable mid-range smartphone with 5G capabilities, the OPPO A77 is definitely worth considering. Its combination of a large battery, fast charging, decent cameras, and a smooth user experience make it a strong contender in its price bracket.
