OPPO A6v: Dimensity 6300 CPU, 6,500mAh battery, 50-megapixel camera

OPPO has introduced two new big-battery budget phones. There’s the OPPO A6i+ and — the one we’re looking at today — the OPPO A6v. The OPPO A6v comes with a 6,500mAh battery. That’s slightly smaller than the A6i+’s 7,000mAh capacity. Both phones do have 45W charging. They also share the same MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, with the A6v having 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Sadly, it still ships with ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, instead of the newer version. The A6v is IP64-rated for dust and splash resistance and has glove and wet-screen touch support. For the cameras, there’s a 50-megapixel main camera on the back. But for selfies, you only get a 5-megapixel sensor. The OPPO A6v is now available in China for CNY1,199 (~Php10,100). Would they launch it globally? We may or may not find out soon. OPPO A6v Specs Android 15, ColorOS 15 Dual SIM, Dual Standby 6.75-inch HD+ IPS display, 1520 x 720 pixel resolution, ~256ppi 120Hz variable refresh rate,...

Android 16 is now on 7.5% of devices — Google

Android-16

Google has shared its latest look at which versions of Android are running on devices worldwide, revealing that its newest operating system is making steady progress.

The data, which reflects a 7-day period ending on December 1, 2025, shows Android 16 is now active on 7.5% of all Android devices. This is a significant increase from the last time Google provided these statistics in April 2025, when Android 15 was on just 4.5% of devices.

The current most popular version is Android 15, which now powers 19.3% of all devices. This is a lower figure than the latest version typically holds in these snapshots. For comparison, back in July 2024, Android 13 was the leader with almost 21% of devices.

Android Version Market Share
16 7.5%
15 19.3%
14 17.2%
13 13.9%
12 11.4%
11 13.7%
10 7.8%
9/Pie 4.5%
8.1/Oreo 2.3%
8/Oreo 0.8%
7.1/Nougat 0.4%
7/Nougat 0.4%
6/Marshmallow 0.4%
5.1/Lollipop 0.3%
5/Lollipop 0.1%

The rise of Android 16 follows a rollout that began roughly 7 months ago. Google’s Pixel phones were the first to receive the update. Major manufacturers like Samsung began their own upgrades in September 2025, with other brands including OPPO, OnePlus, and Nothing following with updates throughout the late fall.

This distribution update also quietly retired a very old version of Android from the chart. Android 4.4 KitKat, which launched in 2013, is no longer listed.

Google notes that these distribution figures are updated sporadically and only reflect devices that access the Google Play Store.

What does the “IP” rating on your smartphone mean?

If you look at your new phone’s specifications, you will notice something like “IP69 Water and Dust Protection.” This is a common selling point that phone manufacturers and brands show on their specifications. At first glance, it may appear too technical, but it’s actually straightforward. What does the IP code mean? The “IP” in the IP code stands for Ingress Protection, an internationally recognized standard defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that indicates the level of dust and water protection of a gadget, such as a mobile phone or other electronic device. As you notice, the letters IP are usually followed by a mix of numbers and/or letters, like ‘IP69’ or ‘IPX7,’ indicating their water and dust protection rating.  We already mentioned what IP stands for.
