Processor/Chipset:

The phone, Oppo A36, comes with a chipset powered by Qualcomm, the newly released Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G, which runs on a 6nm technology. The chipset runs on an octa-core processor that has four 2.40GHz cores and four 1.90GHz cores. The smartphone is using Adreno 610 as the GPU. Android version 11 is currently being used in this mobile device and this operating system is using ColorOS 11.1 as the user interface.

Extra Features:

The new smartphone is still using Android 11 as the operating system, which is a major drawback, the use of an outdated operating system. This means that users won’t be able to use the latest features being released in Android version 12 as the operating system cannot be updated to a newer version yet. Talking about the user interface, ColorOS 11.1 is being used, which is again, a very old and out-of-date software. 

The smartphone comes with a number of sensors. Some of them are: Compass, Fingerprint (side-mounted), Accelerometer, and Proximity. The most frequently used sensor is the fingerprint sensor, which is present on the power button of the smartphone at the right side of the frame. This sensor is very quick to detect fingerprints and is extremely efficient in unlocking the smartphone in very little time.
