Oppo's new A-series smartphone has been released in China. The Oppo A2, as the device is known, was unveiled barely two weeks after the Oppo A2X. For those who missed it, Oppo also announced the A79 in India last week.

The Oppo A2 shares most of the major features with the Oppo A79 2023, as one would anticipate from a handset with such a short launch window. This includes the SoC, camera, display, and other components.
