Buying advice for Algeria

Both Oppo A38 and Oppo A3x are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Oppo A38 is 7% cheaper at 28,000 DZD versus 30,000 DZD for the Oppo A3x, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Oppo A3x packs a 5100 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Oppo A38 reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 50 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.

At this price you should expect 4G across Algerian networks (Mobilis, Djezzy, Ooredoo) and basic 60-90Hz screens.
