Oppo A12e Display

Storage Features
Oppo A12e arrived with 3 GB of RAM as the permanent memory. However, the internal memory of 64 GB of ROM can be increased up to 256 GB when a memory card is inserted into its own slot on the phone.
Battery Power
Powering the device is Li-Po 4230 mAh battery, which is commendable because it provides a good backup. It is a non-removable battery. The user can make use of it for about two days without needing a charge provided it is fully charged.
Software Features and Sensors
It is surprising to find that Oppo A12e runs on Android v8.1 Oreo. It lives on ColorOS 5.1 user interface. Whether this Android version will ever upgrade to Android 10 is a subject for debate. There are sensors in this device, and they are an accelerometer, proximity, light, and compass. This phone has no fingerprint sensor.
Speaker and Call Quality
There’s a good quality loudspeaker in the A12e. Making and receiving calls is easy once the volume is adjusted up. There is also a 3.5mm jack in the device.
Camera, Video, and Image Quality
Oppo keeps it simple at the camera department by keeping two cameras at the rear and one at the front. The primary camera at the back is 13 MP with f/2.2 aperture, while the 2 MP has f/2.4 aperture. At the front, there’s a selfie camera of 8 MP with f/2.2 aperture as well. These cameras produce low-quality images. The video capacity is 1080p. As for other features, the device has HDR, autofocus, panorama, etc.
Oppo A12e Price
The Oppo A12e selling price is about $105. In Nigeria, it sells for about 42,000 Naira.
The Verdict
Oppo A12e is a true budget smartphone. All the specs show that the smartphone is only good when it comes to battery life. All other features are lower than expected for such battery power. The absence of a fingerprint sensor and fast charging support is also bad news for this Oppo smartphone.
