Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the A77 5G should be supported until around June 2025. Buying it today still gets you about -1.0 years of safe use, and Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years (verified June 2026).

An entry-level 5G phone whose big battery and IP54 sealing are its main draws - but its software support has already run out.

Pros

  • Dependable 5000mAh battery for long single-charge use
  • IP54 splash resistance is unusual at this budget
  • Entry-level 5G via the Dimensity 810

Cons

  • Software support has effectively ended as of 2025
  • Basic 90Hz LCD, 6GB/128GB only, and a filler depth sensor
Best for: Budget buyersBest for: Battery-life seekersAvoid if: Long-support seekersAvoid if: Photography buffs

Frequently asked questions

Is the Oppo A77 5G still getting updates in 2026?

No. As a 2022 entry-level device with a short update window, its OS and security support have effectively ended, so it no longer receives meaningful patches.

Should I buy the A77 5G in 2026?

Only as a very cheap backup or basic phone. With support exhausted, newer A-series models are a far safer choice for daily use.

Does the A77 5G have 5G?

Yes, the MediaTek Dimensity 810 provides 5G connectivity, distinguishing it from the 4G-only A77 variants sold in some regions.
