"We are looking forward to further innovating our A-Series line to meet the needs of mobile gamers,” added Tapawan.

The OPPO A96 comes in two colors, Starry Black and Pearl Pink, with its back panel having a striking and smooth frosted matte finish, housing the dual 50MP camera module.

Another gaming-centric feature of the OPPO A96 is that it comes with dual speakers for immersive audio, with a high-fidelity DIRAC HD audio technology, which allows better sound quality.

The built-in battery allows users to stay powered enough for the daily grind and long gaming sessions into the night. With just five minutes of charging, the A96 can power three hours and 38 minutes of phone calls, or an hour and 34 minutes of watching YouTube videos.

The OPPO A96 will cost P15,999 and will be available starting May 5, 2022.

While the A96 is primarily targetted for mobile gamers, the specs make it a powerful smartphone for day to day use, photos, and even content creation.

For those fond of taking selfies and vlogs for social media, the phone enables Air Gestures to manage the device.

The OPPO A96 is priced at P15,999 in the Philippines. Starting Thursday, May 5, the A96 will officially be available on Oppo’s Lazada Online Store. Those who order from May 5 to 9 can nab limited time freebies including an OPPO Enco W11 and P400 off store-wide voucher.
