Under the hood, the Oppo A38 is powered by the MediaTek MT6769 Helio G85 chipset, accompanied by options of 4GB or 6GB RAM, which should satisfy most users in terms of daily performance and multitasking. The octa-core CPU arrangement (two Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 1.8 GHz) allows for efficient and responsive operation. The Mali-G52 MC2 GPU fulfills basic gaming and graphical needs. It runs on Android 13 with Oppo's ColorOS 14, and the device is set to be upgradable to Android 14, promising an updated interface and additional features.
