Editor Rating
3.7/5

The Oppo A94 is one of the most expensive smartphones in the affordable A series sold by the popular Chinese brand, with a price tag that easily tips it into the mid-range segment. Thankfully, the phone gets some upgrades worth that price, as the model features a FHD+ AMOLED display, which is a lot brighter, but peaks at 60Hz refresh rate. You also get a new AI-powered quad-camera array in the back, and a large 32MP selfie unit in the front. Everything is powered by a relatively small 4310mAh battery, which thankfully supports 30W fast charging.

Bottom Line

Oppo A94 is a great mid-range smartphone that features a basic yet refined design, an upgraded processor, a brilliant AMOLED display, and a decent camera setup. Unfortunately, the battery size is too small to enjoy all that performance for a full day, so you will have to keep a charger around.
