Oppo A79 with near bezel-less design, 16MP camera announced


Oppo is expanding its bezel-less phone offering with the addition of Oppo A79. The phone has been announced in China, and appears to be a toned down version of Oppo F5 with a different front camera sensor and slightly smaller battery. Everything else is same including the design.

Just like the Oppo F5, the new A79 sports a near bezel-less design with minimal bezels at sides and slim bezels on the top and bottom for screen-to-body ratio of 83 percent and to  house a large screen with 18:9 aspect ratio. As a result, the fingerprint scanner has been moved to the back.

In terms of specification, the Oppo A79 boots Android Nougat based ColorOS 3.2 and is equipped with 2.5GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio P23 processor, 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage which can be expanded via microSD card. It sports 6.01-inch Full HD+ (2160 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED FullScreen display and is fueled by 3000mAh batter. It also supports Oppo's proprietary VOOC fast charging technology, which is claimed to offer up to two hours of talk time with just five minute charge.


The phone ships with 16MP f/1.8 rear camera, and for selfie you get a 16MP f/2.0 sensor on the front. The selfie camera also gets Oppo F5's AI backed Beautification technology, that can scan 200 facial recognition spots to offer bokeh effects and beautify the selfie shot.

Connectivity features are dual-SIM slots, 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth and GPS. Apart from fingerprint unlocking, you can also unlock the phone using facial recognition function.

As for the pricing, the Oppo A79 has been priced at CNY 2399 ($363 | Rs. 23,500) and will go on sale in China starting December 1 in Black, Champagne Gold and Blue colors.
