With OPPO A93 in-hand and show it to your circle of friends, as it’s been designed with a 7.48mm Ultra-Sleek Body that easily slides into a pocket and jacket without the bulge, or tucks neatly into a small bag or clutch that gives you the premium experience like no others.

To ensure that users are fully immersed in their content, OPPO A93’s 6.43’’ dual punch-hole display comes with a brilliant FHD+ Super AMOLED Display with a large 90.7 per cent screen-to-body ratio.

The display uses Mini Dual-Punch Holes that boast this price segment’s smallest camera diameter of only 3.7mm and ensures that that the phone screen’s real estate is maximized so that you’re fully enjoying your video game and can see every detail in your shot.

OPPO A93 also introduces Shiny Matte, which sees the return of the shimmers and brilliant streaks of light that users enjoyed with the last A-Series phone. But with OPPO A93, the design has been updated with not only a premium feel that’s soft to the touch and easy on the eyes but is now also fingerprint resistant due to popular demand. Shiny Matte uses a brand new optical coating technique that increases the coating’s depth from 250 nanometers to 400 nanometers, which accentuates the light’s refraction while enhancing the colours.

OPPO A93 will come with the Shiny Matte texture in three colours. Magic Blue, showcases a unique blend of blue and purple colours that appear to reflect a new colour with every angle. Matte Black is a colour that screams prestige and is inspired by high-end automobiles. Metallic White offers a refreshing white colour that in certain angles will permeate shades of pink.

Under the hood, OPPO A93 packs a camera powerhouse that’s designed to give you the skills to take pictures like a professional. With a suite of six AI portrait cameras embedded within OPPO A93, you can post photos of yourself to show the best you with easy-to-use portrait photography and video stabilization features.

The phone boasts a Dual Cam that empowers user to easily flaunt beautiful selfie portraits that use hardware-level processing to add a bokeh effect to your photo coupled with software-level AI processing, the finest of details on a person including their earrings and hair are accounted for and won’t end up being blurred out in the final footage.

AI Portrait Color enables users to capture fashionable urban street style photos or travel photos from a new perspective by making portraits pop with colour. AI Portrait Color mutes the background colours black and white while enhancing the natural colours of the person or a group of people within the photo using AI.

In the vein of capturing you in your best moment, OPPO A93 comes with photography features that ensure that your natural beauty and all facial details are preserved in the final shot. AI Super Clear Portrait guarantees that even the finest facial details like your eyebrow are clearly represented, or can even be reconstructed, while AI Beautification 2.0 presents customized beautification features that are tailored to local user beauty preferences and automatically detect existing makeup such as lipstick, then show customized effects.

To empower users to capture the best low light portraits, AI Night Flare Portrait is an OPPO-exclusive feature that combines the bokeh effect and lowlight-HDR algorithms to capture artistic photos that add beautiful night flares on portrait photos shot against the backdrop of city lights.

OPPO A93 introduces ways to optimize the phone’s battery life during the day or while one is asleep. AI Night Charging uses AI Learning through machine learning to learn the user’s sleep habits and charge the phone exactly to 100% upon the moment they wake up from their slumber. In the worst-case scenario, if a user is without a battery charger during the day, Super Power Saving Mode optimizes the last 5 per cent of battery life by turning the display black and white, while running just six predetermined apps.

OPPO A93’s optimized user experience starts with its powerful MediaTek Helio P95 AI chipset, 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage, which can be extended up to 512GB through a 3-Card Slot. OPPO A93’s Anti-Lag Algorithm can detect and clear data that cause memory errors, making stutters and freezes less likely.

With improvements to the Memory Defragmentation feature, the chance that the phone stutters is reduced by up to 54 per cent as compared to the previous generation, while file reading and writing performance is improved by up to 28 per cent thanks to Automatic Database Optimization.

In the case of an interruption not caused by a device but life’s circumstances like a phone call coming in when your fingers are caked with batter or drenched in water, OPPO A93 has the perfect solution. With Air Gestures you can pick up calls without directly touching the phone by simply waving your hand as far as 20 cm or even 50 cm.

At the same time with ColorOS 7.2, it’s fast and easy to access information starting with Quick Return Bubble enables you to multitask on your phone. When you switch apps or screens, a floating bubble pops up and keeps track of the app or game’s status, which you can return to at a later time with a simple tap. With High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) you can even cast copyrighted HD shows to a big screen from the leading video and entertainment apps including Netflix HD and Amazon Prime Video.
