Iconic, Stunning and Lightweight Design

The OPPO A18 stays true to OPPO’s iconic design aesthetic and captivates with its vibrant colors and exquisite textures. The OPPO A18 comes in two stylish colors, Glowing Blue and Glowing Black. Both models employ OPPO’s exclusive OPPO Glow design technique, which gives the back cover of the phone a subtle shimmering appearance, creating a fingerprints-resistant, dual matte finish with glittery details. The lineup also inherits the same iconic Ultra-Slim Retro Design as previous models in the OPPO A series. With 2D Premium Design, the device is comfortable to hold and has a sleek and lightweight appearance, measuring only about 8.16mm in thickness and weighing only about 188g. In addition, the OPPO A18 features a Side Fingerprint Unlock functionality, allowing for swift and seamless unlocking even when the device is held with one hand

A-volution of Battery Quality for All

Addressing users’ concerns around battery life and capacity, the OPPO A18 comes equipped with a large 5000mAh battery. On full charge, the device will still have more than 20% remaining battery life even after 12 hours of work and daily activities. OPPO has also introduced a series of exclusive technologies designed to enhance charging safety and battery reliability. All-day Charging Protection utilizes AI to learn users’ charging habits and intelligently schedule charging, ensuring safety and efficiency during overnight or extended charging periods. Furthermore, All-Day AI Power Saving guarantees support for 25 hours of all-time standby even at a low battery level of 5%. 

A-volution of Screen Quality for All 

Reading or viewing on-screen content in bright light is often a challenge, but the OPPO A18 introduces a brand-new 90Hz Sunlight Display that can reach up to 720 nits of brightness in High Brightness Mode. This allows users to effortlessly view on-screen content without the need for shading, even in direct sunlight.  Additionally, the OPPO A18 features a 6.56-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 96% DCI-P3 color gamut, delivering vibrant and immersive colors and smooth visuals. The OPPO A18 also comes with All-Day AI Eye Comfort, which minimizes eye strain, making viewing comfortable regardless of screen time.
