The Archos Oxygen 68XL has a 6.85-inch HD+ display with 218 PPI of pixel density and a unique appearance at first glance. Unlike the notch-ed smartphones that we have seen over the past couple of years, the Oxygen 68XL takes a completely different approach with its notch. Instead of putting a notch at the top-center of the display, Archos has re-thought the design and placed the notch on the top-right corner of the display, which differentiates it from the rest of the smartphones with a notch. We are not sure if that’s a great idea, especially for users with OCD. Coming to the rear side of the device, there is a glossy glass panel with a fingerprint sensor and a vertically-aligned dual camera setup.
In terms of specifications, the Oxygen 68XL is powered by a 12nm Octa-core Helio P22 SoC with PowerVR GE8320 GPU, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage (expandable using a microSD card). The device runs on Android 9.0 Pie out of the box and has a whopping 5000mAh battery to make sure you have sufficient juice throughout the day and that you don’t have to run around finding a charger after half of the day. For connectivity, the device has a 3.5mm audio jack and a micro-USB 2.0 port for data transfer and charging. In the camera department, the Oxygen 68XL sports an 8MP primary camera with a VGA sensor and an LED flash on the rear, and a 5MP camera on the front for selfies.
