The Oppo A96 smartphone’s launch in Malaysia is right around the corner, and it will be the latest entrant in the company’s A-series. Oppo Malaysia has officially confirmed that the A96 will hit the store shelves in Malaysia in the coming days. The Chinese consumer electronics giant’s mid-range Oppo A96 smartphone will launch in Malaysia on April 18, 2022. This announcement comes a month after Oppo launched another A-series phone dubbed the Oppo A76 in the country.
Notably, the A96 bears a striking resemblance to its previously launched A76 sibling. Moreover, the phone boasts an impressive array of features, coupled with top-notch hardware. In other words, the A96 is built to meet the diverse everyday needs of users. Ahead of the launch, the A96 has been subject to a lot of leaks.
