On the back cover of the OPPO A96, it uses OPPO Glow Design manufacturing process where it selects the best diamond-cut glass panel and places it in a vacuum to compress the crystal pattern to create an eye-catching, smooth, anti-fingerprint and dirt-proof texture. This gives the OPPO A96 its 3D thin centre frame form factor in 2 magnificent colour options: Starry Black and Pearl Pink.
The display on the device is a 6.59-inch 90Hz Colour-Rich Punch-Hole Display with a 90.8% screen-to-body ratio and 1080×2412 FHD resolution.

Anti-peeping for Notifications gives the front camera the ability to detect anyone close by and intelligently protects user information by hiding notification content.
