Show your style with a Premium Design

The A93 has been designed with a 7.48mm Ultra Sleek Body and 164g ultra-lightweight body.

OPPO has used an industry-leading design to optimize and fit the mainboard, battery and other components into its slim design. Seen for the first time in a smartphone, OPPO A93 introduces a thin 220º Edge that also offers a more comfortable and smoother in-hand feel. This is thanks to OPPO A93’s rounded edge design, which refracts light at the top of the rounded point to accentuate its thin appearance and accentuates the comfortable in-hand feel.

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% 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. 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 colors. OPPO A93 will come with the Shiny Matte texture in two colors. Magic Blue showcases a unique blend of blue and purple colors that appear to reflect a new color with every angle. Matte Black is a color that screams prestige and is inspired by high-end automobiles.

The front of the phone boasts a Dual Cam that uses hardware-level processing to add a bokeh effect to portrait selfies. The Dual Lens Bokeh has been upgraded to support both videos and multiple people in the shot. 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 capture fashionable urban street style photos or travel photos from a new perspective by making portraits pop with color. AI Portrait Color mutes the background colors black and white, while enhancing the natural colors of the person or a group of people within the photo using AI. AI Super Clear Portrait guarantees that even the finest facial details like your eyebrow are clearly represented, while AI Beautification 2.0 presents customized beautification features that are tailored to local user beauty preferences and automatically detects existing makeup such as lipstick, then show customized effects.

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 adds beautiful night flares on portrait photos shot against the backdrop of artificial lighting. The AI Super Night Portrait makes sure that low-light, evening selfies are captured in a brightened and clear shot.

On top of these features, the third generation of Ultra-Steady Video enables effortless filming while in motion while maintaining stabilized, clearer and sharper videos. Ultra-Steady Video use a hardware-software solution that combines the Electronic Image Stabilization algorithm with an embedded gyroscope within the front-facing camera so you’ll be able to capture the moment, on-the-go or even on-the-run, without the jittery footage.

With a suite of six AI portrait cameras embedded within OPPO A93, users can interact and enjoy the easy-to-use portrait photography and video stabilization features.

Fast Charge：Less Waiting on a Charge

OPPO A93 introduces ways to optimize the phone’s battery life during the day or while the user 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 you’re without a battery charger during the day, Superpower Saving Mode optimizes the last 5% of your battery life by turning the display black and white, while running just six predetermined apps.

Fast, Convenient and Smooth User Experience

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. As an added benefit, reading and writing data in the file system becomes faster and more efficient. With improvements to the Memory Defragmentation feature, the chance that the phone stutters is reduced by up to 54% as compared to the previous generation, while file reading and writing performance is improved by up to 28% thanks to Automatic Database Optimization.

Or if an interruption isn’t 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 one can pick up calls without directly touching the phone by simply waving their hand as far as 20 cm or even 50 cm.

Consumers will also enjoy the intuitive and simplified user interface in ColorOS 7.2’s Infinite Edge Design, or the ability to personalize the home screen with Artist Wallpapers, designed by renowned artists.
