Using this smartphone "OPPO A77" was launched in August 2022. The A series is positioned as an entry model in the OPPO lineup. It is safe to say that it is “for light users who value price”.
It seems that it is the successor model of "OPPO A55s 5G" last November, but in fact, it is not so. The new model A77 does not support 5G. Even the hardware specs, such as display resolution, are inferior to the OPPO A55 5s. Rather, it seems to be a model that follows the flow of the "OPPO A73" released in November 2020.
I usually use high-end smartphones, and until recently I was also using the "OPPO Find X3 Pro". So, I had little interest in the OPPO A77 as my smartphone. However, when I actually used it, there were parts that I was attracted to. Here, I will focus on five points that I liked.
Key points that OPPO A77 is good to use:
Equipped with a large-capacity battery, it can last for a day
OPPO A73 is about 8.0mm thick. When you pick it up, it looks like a thin and flat plate, but it has a large capacity battery of 5000mAh. As a 4G smartphone, it has a top-class capacity, with a continuous standby time of about 304 hours and a continuous talk time of about 1800 minutes.

The impression that the author actually used is that the battery life is very good, and there is almost no need to worry about the battery running out in a day. It seemed to last for 2-3 days depending on how I used it. When I fully charged it and played YouTube videos in high definition (1080p) for two hours, the battery only dropped about 10%. With simple calculations, it seems that you can continue watching videos from morning to night.
33W fast charging for fast charging

Another advantage is that it supports OPPO's unique "SUPERVOOC" fast charging. It also comes with an AC adapter that supports fast charging.

The charging speed depends on the number of W, but OPPO A77 can be charged at 33W. According to OPPO, "You can talk continuously for 3 hours with just 5 minutes of charging, and it takes about 73 minutes to fully charge." In my impression, I started charging when I felt that the battery was low, and it felt like it would be fully charged within an hour.

By the way, the high-end model "OPPO Reno7 A" released in June has a battery capacity of 4500mAh and a quick charge of 18W. It can be said that the A77 is superior in terms of battery specifications.
The texture of the design is close to the top model OPPO Reno7 A
Entry-class smartphones tend to have mediocre designs and cheap textures because they keep manufacturing costs down. However, the appearance of the OPPO A77 is close to the top model OPPO Reno7 A, and the design is based on recent trends.
The rear panel is processed with "OPPO Glow". It's hard to see the fine gloss in the photos I took, so please check it out on the actual machine.
Power button with built-in fingerprint sensor on the right side. In addition, it also supports face authentication with the front camera
Equipped with an approximately 6.5-inch display, both the front and back are flat. The rear panel has a matte and smooth texture, and a unique process called "OPPO Glow" that gives off a glittering luster with fine particles is applied. Another advantage is that fingerprints are less likely to adhere.
SIM / microSD slot and volume control button on the left side and Equipped with a USB Type-C port, earphone jack, and speaker on the bottom
Built-in stereo speakers for loud listening

Entry-class smartphones generally have monaural built-in speakers, so you can't expect good sound quality. However, the OPPO A77 has speakers on the top of the display and the bottom of the main unit, which can output stereo sound. The sound quality is not very good, and it sounds like a smartphone speaker. Produces a louder volume than a single speaker.

In addition, even if the volume is 100%, it also supports "ultra volume mode" that can be further increased to 200%. It seems that optimization technology is used to suppress noise even if the volume is increased.
