Known hardware tampering None [] As a mass-market consumer device, no widespread specific hardware tampering vulnerabilities are reported. Security relies on software and system design.
Known vulnerabilities Very common [] All smartphones have known vulnerabilities over time. OPPO addressed them via monthly/quarterly security patches. As this model is discontinued, it may no longer receive updates, leaving known vulnerabilities unpatched.
Prior attacks Rare [] No widely reported specific, large-scale attack campaigns targeting the OPPO A8 exclusively. Users are primarily at risk from generic Android malware.
Updatability Rare [] The model is discontinued. Its major Android and ColorOS version update cycle has ended. It might receive critical security patches occasionally, but it's very rare.
