I have gone through a few OPPO phone reviews in the past few weeks and I find that OPPO is excellent when it comes to portrait photography, all thanks to their superb bokeh flair portrait mode. And it is available not only for their flagship devices, but also in their mid-rangers as well. In both OPPO Reno7 and Reno7 Z, the same feature worked flawlessly and portrait photos turned out looking great. And I’m so glad that the new OPPO A96 also comes with the same feature.

I received the OPPO A96 for review about 2 weeks ago and I find that it is one of the most fun phones to use, especially for photography. I have tested the Reno7 series previously and those were a lot of fun, but I also enjoyed using the OPPO A96 just as much.

The only difference between the Reno7 series and the OPPO A96 here is that the bokeh flare is only available for the rear camera shots, and not available for selfies. It is a shame but nevertheless, the quality of the portrait shots are still just as great.

OPPO A96 First Look and Design

The OPPO A96 reminds me a lot of Reno7 with most of the ecstatic looks similar all around. It also has a similar camera bump at the back with dual camera setups but only missing two other cameras. That’s okay because the A96 is more for the lower mid range tier. But the overall look and feel is above average.

The front display is 6.59” in size with 1080 x 2412 pixels resolution at 20:9 aspect ratio. The screen is large enough for a good fieldview but small enough to feel comfortable in one hand. It uses an IPS LCD screen which looks good in my opinion, going up to 600 nits in brightness. It’s not the brightest but it does the job well.

Near the top on the left, sits the 16MP selfie camera. It doesn’t come with an under display fingerprint sensor but that is available on the power button instead. Right at the top at the edge of the screen, you can actually see the top earpiece/speaker holes.

Around the back is the dual camera setup as I mentioned earlier with the main camera sitting at the top while the secondary depth camera is right below it. There is also an LED flash just next to the main camera. If you haven’t noticed already, the back panel design, or rather colour, has some glitter style to it. OPPO’s glow design looks good on this particular A96 colour variant, better than on the black version. It looks pinkish at a certain angle, and sometimes it’s blue. Nevertheless, I still prefer this colour.

As with the other OPPO devices, button layouts are exactly the same. On the OPPO A96, the power button that doubles up as a fingerprint sensor is sitting on the right side while right on the opposite, is the volume rockers button. The dual SIM + MicroSD card tray sits above the volume rocker button.

Around the top, there’s only the lonely microphone hole for video while at the bottom, there’s the usual USB-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, a second microphone hole and a bottom firing speaker. The OPPO A96 comes with a stereo speaker. That means you can hear some good quality sounds from both ends. Good job OPPO.

As for the build quality, it’s pretty good for a cheaper option. It has a plastic back but with an aluminum frame. It feels solid and sturdy when handled in one hand. It is also easy to grip on the sides. And best of all, it is not a fingerprint magnet device, except for the front display.

Daily Use and User Experience

When it’s time to push the phone to the limit, I will surely throw everything I can at it. The OPPO A96 is powered by a Snapdragon 680 chipset with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. I have tested a few phones that are using the SD680 chipsets and I feel like it is not being pushed to its limits. I felt like something was off. But I’ll get to that later.

To support the horsepower requirements, the OPPO A96 comes with a Li-Po 5000mAh battery. From my daily experience, I managed to push the battery close to 3 days of use with some YouTube sessions, chatting and email checking. Meaning for normal usage, I can go on for 3 days before I plug in the charger.

Speaking of which, it also supports VOOC fast charging at 33W, going from less than 10% to 50% in about 20 minutes.

When I multitask and do some gaming, this is when I see the battery depletes fast. But having said that, I can still manage up to 2 days before I need to plug in the charger. So that’s the good thing about new batteries. It can last much longer. And with Android 11 as the OS, it saves more battery due to the OS’s efficiency in managing power throughout the device.

The side mounted power button also doubles up as a fingerprint sensor. It is very responsive and I can simply unlock the phone with just a slight touch. I don’t really need to readjust my finger placement as it can detect my fingerprint 99% of the time on the first try.

To be honest, I mainly use the OPPO A96 for its camera and gaming. Most of the tasks that I threw at it worked smoothly. I did some document and photo editing as well as some video editing. Everything worked great. But when it comes to gaming, I was quite surprised.

Before I get into gaming with OPPO A96, I will show the Antutu 3D benchmark score first. If you’re familiar and have been following the latest chipset updates, you will know that a score below 200k on Antutu is considered low by today’s standards. And earlier on when I said it felt like something was off, I was talking about performance.

The OPPO A96 scored 279645 points on Antutu. Most flagships are inching towards the big 1M mark while some of the low ends are still scoring 100k points. If we’re looking at a good mid-range device, I would say the score should be about 400k right now. But to score below 300k, is pretty now.

BUT, that is only on Antutu. I was using the OPPO A96 for my gaming matches the whole time while reviewing it. I ditched my iPad to go full gaming mode on the A96. And I can say, it feels good. I would say, above average and above my own expectations.

After seeing the “low” score on Antutu, I had to make sure that it’s correct. So I fired up my usual PUBG Mobile game on the A96 and watch how it goes. I can only gauge the performance of a device when I personally use it to play games. This is my method of testing for performance and it has worked for me all these while.

And to my surprise, the game play was smooth and responsive. I had this similar experience before whereby the Antutu score is low but the gaming experience is great. Hence why I said it felt off. But then as long as the game play is good, I’m happy. I managed to get close to 2 hours of PUBG Mobile gameplay from a 100% fully charged battery before it goes down below 20%. That is not bad.

I set the graphic settings to the max so that I can get the most out of it. I felt a slight lag when the game started but felt rather smooth throughout the rest of the game. Using the audio from the speakers feels okay but it can be more rich with the bass. Just too much on the high trebles for me. But thankfully, the OPPO A96 comes with a 3.5mm audio jack so I can plug in my gaming headset for a more immersive gameplay.

Another note to add, on paper, it says that the OPPO A96 has an IP5X dust proof and IPX4 waterproof features. I don’t know whether anyone has tried it but I would rather stay safe and not submerge the device underwater on purpose. And to protect the whole device, there’s a silicon case in the box that you can use.

Camera and Photography

Now, the OPPO A96 comes with only two camera setups. We have one main 50MP shooter and the 2MP depth camera sidekick. The depth camera is used for the signature bokeh flare effect as well as for some of the similar effects. And that’s about it. But the 50MP main shooter packs a punch too. Photos are vibrant and full of details. I actually enjoyed using the camera on this device.

As for the 16MP front-facing camera, it may not be as good as the Reno7 series but I still like what it produces. Photos are sharp and the bokeh works fine. It doesn’t have the bokeh flair feature but selfie photos turned out nice with bokeh effects as well. Technically you lose nothing here.

One way to really describe the camera is to show some photos. Please have a look at the photos in the gallery below and tell me what you think in the comments section.

Conclusion

The OPPO A96 is made for low mid-range users but it does not disappoint. It still has some features that you’ll get on a higher range OPPO series while being a wallet friendly device. In other words, the OPPO A96 is an affordable phone for those who wish to upgrade from an older device.

I enjoyed gaming on the OPPO A96, which is a good surprise to me. The Snapdragon 680 with 8GB of RAM is very much suitable for this device and it works brilliantly. But of course, it can be better. If OPPO is trying to capture the lower end users, they should use a chipset that can still perform for at least 2 years down the road.

Having said that, the camera is a joy to use, especially the portrait mode. This is the setup that I use the most. The bokeh flare effect is beautiful and still able to perform well in low light areas. I love the battery endurance too. 3 days is a long time but make sure it’s on basic use, not gaming. And I love this particular colour variant. It’s like pink with a shade of blue or blue with a shade of pink. You decide.

The OPPO A95 is offered in two amazing colours: Starry Pink and Starry Black with the recommended retail price of

OPPO Champions Sustainable, Functional Tech Through Key Innovations

In an increasingly sustainable-conscious world, consumers of tech are no longer just looking for products that merely elevate their standard of living and be at the forefront of innovation. More importantly, they are seeking for brands which are in line with their own personal values.

Experience a Vibrant World of Color With The OPPO Find X5 Pro Billion Colour Bionic Display

The OPPO Find X5 Pro has the most advanced display ever seen in an OPPO phone: The 1 Billion Colour Bionic Display. It uses a 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate and 1000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate panel with multi-point calibration, 8192-level bionic dimming and support for HDR10+, among other highlights. In this generation of the Find series, OPPO has taken a renewed focus not just on display quality, but how the eyes see.

Its 6.7-inch ultra-clear AMOLED curved screen is matched with ultra-tough contoured Gorilla Glass Victus protection for flagship-grade drop and scratch resistance.

The curve catches the light, a charming visual effect in itself, but also helps OPPO achieve a superb 92.7% screen to body ratio. This maximizes the canvas for users’ favorite apps, games and photos, relative to the size of the phone.

The world in color

The OPPO Find X5 Pro 1 Billion Colour AMOLED display is capable of rendering 100% of the colors in the DCI P3 gamut, the standard used by Hollywood colourists to perfect movies for big-screen reproduction. Careful calibration is key here, though. The Find X5 Pro has received one of the highest accolades available to phones as a result, a DisplayMate A+ rating.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro advanced color engine will also adapt the array of colors used to match the content. While users are editing the holiday photos, rest assured the bright tones of tropical flowers and deep oranges, reds and umbers of an ocean sunset are not simply flattered by the OPPO Find X5 Pro’s rich display. Such memories are made for sharing with others.

Accuracy in all places

New for this generation of Find phones, the OPPO Find X5 Pro also offers Multi-Brightness Colour Calibration. Most phones, even those with excellent-quality displays, are made to look their best at a specific brightness level. OPPO’s Find X5 Pro is tuned for peak performance at the display power used both indoors and outdoors. Perfect display calibration is like a fragile ornament, broken by changes in multiple factors, but OPPO adjusts to compensate for them all.

However, color tone is not always the most important factor in a phone display. Brightness matters more if the users are out at a picnic with friends and want to video call another who couldn’t make it. Or if the user wants to compose a picture of a sun-baked beach while on holiday. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s screen panel provides peak brightness of a searing 1300 nits, enough to cut through the most dazzling sunny days.

Celebrate Raya with a New OPPO Reno5 5G at RM200 Less, and More Great Raya Deals
Such versatility is just as important at the other extreme. In a dark room our pupils constrict, making even a dim phone screen seem ultra-bright, even painful. The OPPO Find X5 Pro can simmer all the way down to 20 nits of brightness, so everyone can read articles or watch videos under the covers in comfort.

In addition, OPPO Find X5 Pro’s blue light filter reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen, which can affect the sleeping patterns.

It’s a screen made for all occasions. But fidelity plays a part here too. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s Auto Brightness mode can tune the display to 8192-level bionic dimming levels.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s brightness scaling mirrors the way the eyes and brains function, with 12 scaling modes. These gears of modulation alter the rate at which display power changes depending on its current level. The end result is it appears smooth, consistent and pleasantly gradual to the eyes in all conditions.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s adaptive refresh rate automatically adjusts between 1-120Hz

Life at high frame rates

The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate further enhances the smoothness provided by the fine-grain brightness control and self-calibrating color enhancement. It lets Android apps display at twice the usual frame rate, making menus glide with such grace the term “scroll” no longer seems to do them justice.

The Find X series has had a 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate since the OPPO Find X2 Pro, but the Find X5 Pro can scale its refresh rate more dramatically than ever before. It can drop as low as 1Hz for static content, refreshing pixels just once a second, use 60Hz for apps that don’t support 120Hz, and the full rate for ultra-smooth scrolling in others.

A low refresh rate reduces power consumption, letting users to spend more time enjoying the power of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in the latest games before needing to give the 5000mAh battery a turbo 80W SuperVOOC Flash Charge and 50W AirVOOC Wireless Flash Charge to top-up, or spend longer relaxing with an HDR movie.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro supports HDR10+ video as standard, and even if the favorite is not available in HDR, the advanced video engine can upscale it to HDR.

The display makes composing photos easier outdoors, is a great way to watch movies on-the-go, and can adapt to the users’ needs in almost every situation. Setting new standards for smartphones, there’s something everyone can appreciate in the OPPO Find X5 Pro screen.


OPPO Glow Design Suffuses the OPPO A96 with a Galaxy of Stars

Form and function work in harmony in the OPPO A96 thanks to the OPPO Glow Design and rigorous testing standards

Art and technology are often considered entirely separate, but the two intersect in the creation of a phone. The OPPO A96 uses OPPO Glow Design for a dynamic finish inspired by the entrancing swirling patterns of the cosmos. It twinkles and glints as the phone is turned, evoking the patina of supernova stars millions of light-years from our home.

The OPPO A96’s color-shifting shell is matched with great everyday IPX4 water and IP5X dust resistance, and excellent general toughness. It is a phone with an appearance to admire, but also one with enduring quality that passes through rigorous quality testing.

OPPO Glow Design

OPPO Glow Design is a crucial part of the OPPO A96. It creates a bright and eye-catching finish that glints like a million of shimmering stars when it catches the light, resembling a sparkling vision of the cosmos.

Choose the Starry Black OPPO A96 for this hint of intergalactic charm. It shifts from a low-key minimalist look to a shining show-stopper with a twist of your wrist. The Pearl Pink offers a completely different visual personality. It’s a refreshing pastel tone that, when brought to life by the OPPO Glow Design, reminds of cherry blossom leaves dancing in the wind.

OPPO Glow Design involves a complex and dedicated manufacturing process that starts with a diamond-cut glass mold. This contains the many thousand crystalline structures that give the OPPO A96 its characteristic dynamic spark. Take a microscope to the phone and you may be able to make out the pattern of triangles and pyramids, like a tiny shining world that fits in the palm of your hand.

Months were spent designing hundreds of prototype molds, only the finest of which was chosen. If it is too thick, the visual effect is enhanced but risks being uncomfortable to hold. A thin crystal will feel smooth but loses the signature OPPO Glow Design effect. Balance is the key.

The final glass masterwork was then employed to create plastic molds used for mass production of the OPPO A96. The mold is placed in a 99.9% vacuum and then injected with a liquid coating, which forms the back of the phone.

Carefully controlled temperatures during the curing and coating process are required throughout to maximize toughness and scratch resistance, because appearance is only one part of the puzzle. OPPO spent six months perfecting the process.

OPPO Enduring Quality

The OPPO A96 has been through more than 130 ultra-rigorous reliability tests, for harsh conditions including ultra-low and high temperatures, shock tests, drops, radiation and wireless interference. It has also been tested for 14 days of use in a high temperature of 65 degrees centigrade, 95% humidity environment.

In addition, the OPPO A96’s headphone socket is tested for insertion and removal 10,000 times, its USB charging port 20,000 times.

Volume buttons are pressed 150,000 times to ensure longevity, the power button an eye-opening 500,000 times. That is nearly equivalent to pressing the power button 100 times a day for almost 14 years.

This commitment to long-term user experience extends across the entire phone. Each OPPO A96 offers the water and dust resistance to let you feel confident with the phone in your hand, because a little rain should not slow you down.

Such ruggedization requires the use of carefully designed internal seals, a blueprint rigorously tested before the first OPPO A96 was boxed and sent off the production line.

You can rest assured that whether you decide to go on an adventure holiday to Thailand during the monsoon season, or plan on shooting photographs in the Grand Canyon, this is a phone on which you can surely rely. The technology in your pocket should help you preserve all unforgettable moments, not hold you back.

The OPPO A96 can keep pace with your busy life, while elevating your style with stunning OPPO Glow Design. These are just the start of its remarkable features too, which include OPPO’s Dual Speakers, a 90Hz Colour-Rich Punch-Hole Display with the Adaptive Refresh Rate Technology and the feature-packed ColorOS 11.1 software.

The OPPO A96 is offered at the recommended retail price of RM1,299. For more information about OPPO A96, please visit

Riot Games Announces New Plans for VALORANT Esports￼

New Leagues and In-Game Features will Expand Esports Ecosystem New Model will Establish Ground-Breaking Long-Term Partnerships with Select Teams in 2023

Riot Games today revealed ground-breaking new plans for VALORANT Esports that will establish three international leagues as the top level of competition for the 2023 season. The new model will incorporate long-term partnerships with no entry fees to a select number of teams to ensure continued long-term stability for the world’s fastest growing esport. To support the initiative, Riot Games will launch new features and events including:

Three new international leagues featuring week-over-week competition between the world’s best teams. The three international leagues, respectively composed of teams from the Americas, Europe, and Asia, will see the best players compete against each other in LAN settings and in front of live-audiences (health and safety conditions permitting). Throughout the year, the best teams from each league will qualify for two international Masters events and VALORANT Champions, where a single team will be crowned the VALORANT World Champion.
A new competitive in-game mode accessible to every player directly within the VALORANT client designed to identify the best talent worldwide. This mode will act as a supplement to the existing leaderboards, providing players with a new goal above ranked play that integrates into the esports ecosystem.
The launch of new domestic leagues that will expand opportunities for up-and-coming talent who aspire to reach elite international leagues. Top teams from the in-game competitive mode will have the opportunity to compete against the best talent from their region within their respective domestic leagues.
Riot Games will break new ground in the esports competitive space by forgoing any entry or participation fees for selected organizations, setting up long-term partners for success.

“With VALORANT, we want to build today’s most thrilling esport alongside the most well-managed, ambitious, and exciting teams in the industry. We have designed our long-term partnership model for VALORANT so teams can thrive and build their business alongside the overall growth of VALORANT Esports,” said Whalen Rozelle, Head of Esports Operations at Riot Games.

“We are setting up our long-term partners for success by forgoing any entry or participation fees for selected organizations. Our aim is to free our partners to invest their resources in supporting their pros and growing their fanbases through creating incredible content for fans.”

Throughout 2022, Riot Games will operate a selective application process to identify the right long-term partners to grow VALORANT into the world’s leading FPS esport.

Teams who meet the selection criteria will be provided with financial support from Riot Games in the form of an annual stipend and the exclusive opportunity to collaborate on unique in-game activations and products. Partnered teams will be able to distribute esports branded content, allowing VALORANT’s current 15 million monthly players to express their esports fandom both while watching and while playing.

“Together, all these elements will contribute to a competitive ecosystem that will position VALORANT for its next stage of growth,” said John Needham, President of Esports at Riot Games.

“We want to build the top level of competition that will provide more exciting matches, new events that will thrill live audiences, and engaging experiences for millions of online fans. We’ll use everything we learned from the past 10 years with LoL Esports to build an ecosystem that will supercharge VALORANT into the next great multigenerational esport.”

In 2017, Riot Games was the first video game publisher to introduce the permanent partnership with League of Legends Esports (LoL Esports). This model created a formal partnership between teams and Riot Games, allowing everyone to invest against a unified long-term vision.

Since 2017, this model has been adopted for leagues in North America, Europe, China, Latin America, Korea, Brazil, Turkey, and across the wider esports industry. Players have benefited from larger salaries and more robust support systems, while teams have been able to plan multiple years into the future.

Permanent partnership slots within the Riot Games ecosystem have also grown in value, attracting diverse talent from both the esports industry and traditional sports. A formal relationship with teams has enabled close collaboration on ambitious events, digital experiences, and creating a deeply engaging esports experience.

About VALORANT Esports:

After a record breaking closed beta that saw more than 1.7 million peak concurrent viewers on Twitch, VALORANT quickly established itself as the fastest growing esport of 2020. To support the competitive scene, Riot Games launched the VALORANT Champions Tour, a year-long, global circuit featuring three levels of competition: Challengers, Masters, and Champions.

Teams compete through regional Challengers events, then qualify into international Masters events, with the goal to earn a spot at Champions, a two-week long tournament where one team is crowned the VALORANT Global Champion. The season-long competition tour will feature competitions in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
