  • A few weeks back, OPPO Philippines shared some information with us in TechNews that there's a little surprise they're preparing to reveal, and in time with the holidays. Well, the secret's finally out and it's the OPPO A18. And the surprise, boys and girls, is that its price is way too affordable to be had.

OPPO A18 is here and is a must-have on many Christmas shopping lists.

A few weeks back, OPPO Philippines shared some information with us in TechNews that there's a little surprise they're preparing to reveal, and in time with the holidays. Well, the secret's finally out and it's the OPPO A18. And the surprise, boys and girls, is that its price is way too affordable to be had.

Now the twist here is that, in spite of the modest pricing, the OPPO A18 has features that shoot right out of the basement.

It is less that 10K, but it promises a 36-month fluency which basically means it never falters in performance three years after purchase.

It is less than 8K but has a standard 6.56-inch HD+ IPS display with a high 90Hz refresh rate, 90Hz Sunlight Display for under the sun and outdoors, a 100% DCI-P3 and sRGB coverage, with 300% Ultra-Volume Mode, a standard 5,000mAh battery, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, IP54 dust and water resistance, plus a design that is not too far off the OPPO standard principles of beauty.

It is less than 7K, now how about that?

It should frown on the entry-level tag as the OPPO A18 is proudly powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 octa-core processor with 128GB of expandable storage, a 4GB of RAM with an additional 4GB via virtual RAM expansion, and a 5-megapixel camera on the front and a dual rear camera in the back led by an 8-megapixel sensor.

It ships with Android 13-based ColorOS 13.1, and would be available in Glowing Black and Glowing Blue.

AND, the OPPO A18 is priced at P5,999. Enjoy FREE shipping and 0% interest with LazPayLater from November 1-30. Exclusively available on Lazada from November 1 to 10.
