Two new versions of the OPPO have come out in the company’s global website and the Indian market.
The OPPO A3 Global and India versions appear to be entirely different from the first version that came out in China — from the design up to the specs. For one, it has the camera island on the top left, while the Chinese version looks a lot like the Reno12 F.
That camera layout holds the same 50-megapixel main camera. Albeit the shooter on the front has a lower 5-megapixel resolution (from 8-megapixel). They also have a less impressive HD+ IPS display (from FHD+ AMOLED), but have the same 120Hz refresh rate.
What makes the Global and Indian versions different are the processors and the color options. The Global one has a 4G-only Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 CPU while the unit for the Indian market will have a 5G-equipped MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor.
Their batteries have a slightly bigger 5,100mAh capacity than usual, paired with a 45W SUPERVOOC wired charging. OPPO claims their batteries can retain at least 80% of their health after four years.
OPPO also highlights their MIL-STD-810H-certified military-grade shock resistance, IP54 splash resistance, 36-degree NFC for better coverage, an LED flash that can go 200% brighter when used as a torch, and the fact that it can provide a “like new” fluency even after 50 months of use.
The OPPO A3 6GB/128GB is available in India for INR15,999 (~Php10,800), while pricing for the Global models is yet to be known.
