The chipset is Mediatek Helio G85, and the phone has 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. The micro-SD slot enables up to 1 TB of extra storage.

Oppo equipped the OPPO A38 with a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 33W SuperVOOC charging and basic PD (9V/1.5A). The OPPO A38 will get updates for 2.5 years, which is a good thing, given that this phone is on the more affordable end of the price spectrum. The dual SIM capabilities, a 3.5 mm audio jack, the latest Bluetooth 5.3, and all major GNSS standards are other features. The OPPO A38 is arriving in two Glowing colours – Black and Gold, but we have no information on pricing or availability.
