Rumor | OPPO A2 slated to launch as smartphone with flagship looks and mid-range specs

OPPO's A series is typically made up of Android smartphones with mid-tier specs that set them apart from premium mid-rangers such as the Reno series. However, from the looks of it, the upcoming A2 might aim for a higher-end appeal by moving on to a rear panel much more like those of the 2023 Find X6 flagships. It is also said to be graced with a (mostly) on-trend OLED display and an extra-large battery, yet not to break the bank with its price.

Perhaps the inclusion of a USB Type-C port was simply an excuse for Sony to ship its mid-range A6700 APS-C mirrorless camera with no charging hardware, since the camera maker has done just that. A6700 owners will need to go out and buy not only an extra battery, but a whole other charger, if they want to charge their camera and use it at the same time.
