Editorial report

Oppo A97 technical sheet

The Oppo A97 suits buyers looking for an Android phone with ample memory and hardware performance better than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its clearest trade-off is the 90 Hz display, whose refresh rate is lower than on most phones from that period. This version combines 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; the A97 is sold in this configuration.

The 6.6-inch display has a pixel density of 400 ppi, higher than that of most phones of its time. Its IPS LCD panel and 1080 × 2408 resolution fill out the display specifications, while the 90 Hz refresh rate remains a limit for anyone prioritizing faster screen updates. The MediaTek Dimensity 810 and an AnTuTu score of 438,700 accompany the phone’s favorable hardware standing. Its 48 MP camera and 5000 mAh battery with 33 W charging are typical for phones launched around the same time; the camera has no optical image stabilization.

One notable limitation matters to anyone relying on Google apps and services: the Oppo A97 has no Google Services. It runs Android 12, and its fingerprint sensor is on the side. Its overall NeoScore is 5.4. This is a better fit for buyers prioritizing memory and hardware than for those who want a faster-refreshing display or need Google services.
