OPPO has announced the newest member of the A series – the OPPO A57.
The A37 was unveiled back in June and it was made available in the Philippines just a couple of days after. But that was on the low to mid-range specturm. The new A57 is meant to compete in the mid-range arena, alongside the F1s.
There are several differences, specifically in the screen and processor. The OPPO A57 has a smaller 5.2-inch 720p 2.5D arc screen and a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset on the inside. The RAM and storage are the same with the original F1s at 3GB and 32GB, respectively. On the camera, it has a 13-megapixel front shooter while the back has a 16-mgapixel sensor.
It’s also LTE and dual SIM capable, and it runs on a more recent version of Android with 6.0 Marshmallow. As usual, the company’s own ColorOS sits on top of Android to give the OPPO ecosystem.
