OPPO has introduced a new budget phone in China called the OPPO A3.
The design of the OPPO A3 is identical to the also-new Reno12 F, but the specs list is different. The distinct camera layout holds the 50-megapixel main camera, depth sensor, and LED flash. An 8-megapixel camera is on the front for selfies.

It is powered by a Snapdragon 695 processor, one of the cheapest 5G chips Qualcomm makes. You can get it with either 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
On the front, we have a decent 6.7-inch OLED screen with an FHD+ resolution, 10-bit color, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling, and most interestingly, the brand new Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

The device ships with a 45W adapter to charge the 5,000mAh battery. It is available in three colors: Green, Purple, and Black.
OPPO also highlights its durable design thanks to a crystal shield glass that increased the fall resistance by 160% and scratch resistance by 300%.

The OPPO A3 comes in 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB models for a price of CNY1,599 (~Php12,900), CNY1,799 (~Php14,500), and CNY2,099 (~Php16,900), respectively. It will be available in China starting July 5. International release details are still unknown.
