OPPO, the global smart device brand, has launched the OPPO A94 in Singapore.
The OPPO A94 is packaged in a simple, slender design that uses OPPO’s new Flowing Light Design concept. Designed for trend seekers who are looking for a powerful, yet durable device that boasts a mix of fun, the OPPO A94 comes with new video features that enable users to capture memories and moments from more than one perspective, and with the personal and creative touch.
“OPPO’s A Series is popular with trendsetters as a phone that is tailored to not only enhance their love for social life and ambitions at study and work, but also represents their personal style,” said Dylan Yu, Marketing Director, OPPO Singapore.

“OPPO A94 is the culmination of both user feedback and the extensive research conducted on the latest technology. OPPO A94 not only captures momentous occasions from multiple perspectives, but it also comes with a higher battery capacity and 30 W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 that makes the phone a great companion for our users. We are excited to introduce and get OPPO A94 into the hands of Singapore customers,” said Jeremy Tan, Product Manager, OPPO Singapore.
OPPO A94 offers a bigger battery capacity and is faster than its predecessors. The new phone features a set of 48 MP quad cameras with a 48 MP main camera. To add depth to photos and videos, the main camera works in concert with an 8 MP ultra wide-angle camera, 2 MP macro camera and 2 MP monochrome camera. The other side of the phone is accented by a 32 MP front-facing camera.
To add flair to videos:
- AI Color Portrait is getting an upgrade on OPPO A94. Like its photography variant, AI Color Portrait Video works by recognising the person in the video shot. OPPO A94 can intelligently distinguish the person from their background. The person in the shot is then highlighted with enhanced and bright colours, while a monotone black or white filter is applied to the background to ensure that the subject of the portrait stands out.
- Monochrome Video highlights and enhances a single RGB colour in any shot, while filtering out all other colour palettes, adding a splash of drama to the footage by juxtaposing contrasting colors.
- Dual-View Video records footage from the front-facing and rear cameras simultaneously.
- EIS Steady Video, running behind the scenes, will also make sure that the footage is stable and usable.
- Finally, a video is not complete without an easy way of stitching it together with Soloop. Users can easily edit videos with filters, subtitles and music into shareable movie-quality clips.
Creative photography help includes:
During both day and night, OPPO A94 can apply motion blur to the background and superimposes one of two photography effects.
- Dynamic Bokeh adds a bokeh effect that stretches light into streaks, while obscuring background details. The photo’s subject in the foreground is treated with a low-light HDR algorithm and colour tuning so that they stand out.
- Night Flare Portrait, on the other hand, can add round lens flares to the background without overpowering the subject of the portrait.
- AI Color Portrait also makes its return in OPPO A94, along with AI Beautification 2.0 to individually enhance natural beauty, including facial contours and skin colours of a person or group in a shot.
- OPPO A94 also recognises 20 types of landscape shots with AI Scene Enhancement 2.0 and improves the colour saturation and contrast ratio pixel-by-pixel.
OPPO has ensured that the phone feels great in hand and fits snugly in the pockets. With this model, the body is 7.8 mm thick and weighs 172 g. It is rounded out with a curved 3D battery cover that is only 0.55 mm thick, while the screen dissipates heat through a 0.1 mm graphite plate.
OPPO A94's shock and drop resistance has been enhanced by optimising the stacking of small motherboard components and by strengthening the protection of its structural components.
Flowing Light Design on OPPO A94 uses a composite panel on the back cover that adds a high degree of transparency comparable to glass, yet conveying a complex matte and glossy texture that is glare-free. Fluid Black showcases a black light-to-dark gradient whose colour resembles a fading ink blot in water. OPPO A94 is also available in Fantastic Purple.
OPPO A94 comes with a 6.43" hole-punch AMOLED display that sports a large 90.8% screen-to-body ratio and In-Display Fingerprint 3.0 through a convenient fingerprint reader that sits under the display for quick unlocking of the phone.
All-day AI Eye Comfort leverages 4,096 brightness levels to protect the eyes of the users. OPPO A94’s Sunlight Screen auto adjusts its brightness based on the user’s preference and ambient light exposure. At night or in a dimly-lit environment, Moonlight Screen lowers the brightness setting to offer a comfortable viewing experience.
OPPO A94 introduces a larger 4,310 mAh battery and 30 W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 technology. Users can now get 16 hours of online video playback on a single charge. When the battery is nearly depleted, 30 W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 reliably charges OPPO A94. A five-minute charge will allow users to watch YouTube for 2.9 hours.
OPPO A94 also comes with All-day Smart Power Saving that offers several power-saving modes. For instance, Super Power Saving Mode conserves battery by decreasing the CPU frequency, lowering the phone’s brightness and more, so the last 5% of battery life on the phone will run smoothly. Super Nighttime Standby identifies and adjusts to the user’s bedtime routine to make sure that the battery life only decreases by 2% during the night. In addition, for nighttime charging, 30 W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 has a safety measure that prevents overcharging with Battery Guard.
While phones are known to slow down over time after prolonged use, OPPO A94 has taken measures to slow down the typical aging processes with System Performance Optimiser. This proprietary technology offers 10 optimisation features and ensures that the phone runs at optimal performance without lagging for a longer period.
For example, Idle Time Optimiser can recognise when the phone is not being used or charged and optimise its system resources accordingly by cleaning up the trash, defragmenting the disk, cleaning up the memory, and more. When the phone is low on storage, Storage Optimiser notifies users to delete or migrate data to the cloud to free up space. UI First 3.0 ensures that the resources for the most-used apps are prioritised so that the phone can run at optimal performance.
OPPO A94 runs at optimal performance thanks to its MediaTek Helio P95 Octa-core Processor. This runs on two ARM Cortex-A75 Prime Cores that operate at up to 2.2 GHz. Six ARM Cortex-A55 Efficiency Cores also operate at up to 2.0 GHZ.
Gaming with smooth graphics, optimised network latency and Real HD Sound powered by Dirac are all enabled by the processor. In addition, OPPO A94 comes with a baked-in Cooling System that is tailored to optimally dissipate heat emitted by resource-intensive games.
OPPO A94’s suite of gaming modes also makes sure that messages are delivered without completely interrupting the gaming experience. Game Focus Mode for instance is a feature exclusive to OPPO that blocks all notifications including calls, gestures and even on-screen volume prompts. Gaming Shortcut Mode reduces the time it takes to cold-start previously-opened games by cutting out background resources that would otherwise need to be loaded, splash screens that feature studio logos, and even game walkthroughs.
For multi-taskers, Game Floating Window will show the gameplay as a minimised screen without exiting the game entirely. Instead, the game continues running as a floating window on-screen so users can reply to emails or catch up on an urgent task for work. Finally, Bullet Screen Message is a convenient middle ground for mobile gamers that cannot afford to block out notifications entirely. Instead, messages from supported apps including WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE, Messenger and SMS are displayed across the screen, but does not force open popups or interfere with the gameplay with notifications.
For users who would like to reply to an email or WhatsApp message without closing an app, FlexDrop simply minimises the app’s window and allow the app to continue running as a thumbnail on the home screen. At the office, sharing documents quickly and efficiently can sometimes be cumbersome. Nearby Sharing on OPPO A94 takes care of this problem by enabling users to share documents seamlessly and directly with other OPPO users nearby. They can also capture screenshots and instantly translate its content with Three-finger Translate via Google Lens.
OPPO A94 offers security and privacy features that are strictly designed to retrieve data or keep it away from prying eyes. OPPO’s Private Safe allows access to HeyTap Cloud so users can retrieve personal data from lost phones. Further, App Lock will allow full control over which apps can or cannot be accessed by other users. Screencast Privacy Shield is also useful, limiting banner notifications and drawer messages, while also filtering out messages that should not be mirrored on-screen.
