OPPO has announced a 4G-only version of the OPPO A57. A perfect option for those who want something cheaper or don’t have access to 5G after all.
From the Dimensity 810 chip of the 5G variant, the OPPO A57 4G settles for the MediaTek Helio G35 processor. This 4G-only chipset is clocked at 2.3GHz, with eight cores, and an IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU.
What’s interesting is, that it now comes with a faster 33W charging support from 10W for the same 5,000mAh battery.
The screen is quite similar. It’s a 6.56-inch display with an HD+ resolution. However, the high refresh rate is gone as it drops to 60Hz from 90Hz.
OPPO also drooped the RAM and storage to 3GB and 64GB, respectively. Thankfully, it has a microSD card slot that lets you expand the storage up to 1TB. It also has virtual RAM expansion for an additional 4GB of RAM for an extra performance boost.
On the back, we have the signature OPPO Glow design and a 13-megapixel main camera with a depth sensor. There’s the 8-megapixel selfie camera on the front, while the whole body has an IP54 certification for being splash-resistant.
The OPPO A57 4G is now up in Thailand with an SRP of THB5,499 (around Php8,400). No word yet if it’s coming to markets like the Philippines.
