OPPO A98 impresses with Snapdragon 778G chip configuration

According to PhoneAqua, OPPO A98 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 778 processor. However, at the current time, Qualcomm only possesses one chip, the Snapdragon 778G instead of Snapdragon 778. Perhaps this is a slight misunderstanding from the leaked news site, so I will rely on the accurate information of Qualcomm's chip to carry out the article.

For those who don't know, the Snapdragon 778G is a high-end chip from Qualcomm with 8 cores, manufactured on a 6nm process, which increases performance by up to 40% and provides graphics rendering capabilities up to 40% faster than the previous CPU version, the Snapdragon 775G. With this chip, devices can easily handle various light and heavy tasks including playing high-configured games like Arena of Valor, PUBG Mobile, etc.

Compared to the Dimensity 810 in the predecessor OPPO A97 5G, the Snapdragon 778G chip offers significantly stronger performance. If you're curious, you can check out the performance scores of these two chips here! Therefore, I believe that equipping the next generation OPPO A98 with the Snapdragon 778G chip will be a very sensible step that OPPO is likely to take in the future, because starting from the predecessor generation, OPPO has provided OPPO A97 5G with very good performance for the price, so I believe OPPO A98 will also inherit this direction.

To support the powerful performance of the Snapdragon 778G, Gadgets Now also shares that OPPO A98 will have 8 GB of RAM coupled with 256 GB of internal storage. However, personally, I believe that OPPO A98 will feature 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage instead of the leaked 8 GB RAM. Because OPPO A97 5G previously only had one variant with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, so I think it's highly likely that OPPO A98 will also inherit these specifications from its predecessor!

Moreover, the source also reveals that to ensure sufficient battery life to meet users' needs throughout the day, OPPO A98 will be powered by a 5,000 mAh battery. This is a fairly good figure in today's market, however, the fast charging rate that the device possesses has not yet been disclosed. But it's highly likely that the device will come with 33 W fast charging similar to the OPPO A97 5G version, aiming to shorten the charging time and provide a more seamless user experience.

According to the latest leaked information, the specific specifications of OPPO A98 are as follows:

• Display: 6.67-inch size, OLED panel, Full HD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate.
• CPU: Snapdragon 778G.
• RAM: 8 GB.
• Internal storage: 256 GB.
• Rear camera: 48 MP + 2 MP resolution.
• Selfie camera: 16 MP resolution.
• Battery: 5,000 mAh.

What's new with OPPO A98? OLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate, 48 MP camera

According to information from Specs - Tech, OPPO A98 will feature a 6.67-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution. It seems that not only in terms of configuration but also in terms of display, OPPO will upgrade OPPO A98 compared to the previous generation (OPPO A97 5G had a 6.56-inch LCD display). If OPPO A98 is indeed equipped with similar specifications as the above leak, I believe the device can fully satisfy you in terms of visual experience!

Moreover, the source also reveals that the display of OPPO A98 will have a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. This is a significantly upgraded refresh rate compared to the 90 Hz on the previous generation, and overall, the leaks about the display of OPPO A98 are quite promising for a mid-range smartphone. So, this is also a plus point that helps OPPO A98 compete with other rivals at similar prices without being left behind.

According to Gadgets Now, OPPO A98 will feature a camera system with 2 sensors at the rear and a selfie camera at the front with the following specific specifications:

• Main camera: 48 MP resolution.
• Depth camera: 2 MP resolution.
• Selfie camera: 16 MP resolution.

Overall, the camera system of OPPO A98 will not undergo many changes compared to the predecessor generation. The main 48 MP camera and 2 MP secondary camera will remain unchanged. However, the selfie sensor of the device will be upgraded from 8 MP to 16 MP, making it easier to connect with family and friends through video calls or social media activities. Hopefully, OPPO will also optimize the image algorithms of OPPO A98 to deliver even better quality photos to users.

How much is OPPO A98? When will OPPO A98 be released?

Unfortunately, information about the price and release date of OPPO A98 has not been disclosed yet. However, based on information from the predecessor generation combined with the leaked specifications above, it is highly likely that the device will be priced between 8 - 9 million VND and will be launched in July 2023. With upgrades in both configuration and display quality, this price range seems quite appropriate for what OPPO A98 offers!
