Last month, OPPO officially unveiled the A71 2018 — a refresh from last year’s OPPO A71 (read our review).
In their Facebook post, the company teased that the OPPO A71 (2018) is arriving in the Philippines. They haven’t disclosed the official SRP as of the moment, but they announced that they will be available starting March 10.
Unlike its more expensive brothers, the new OPPO A71 (2018) will be keeping its chunky bezels and 16:9 aspect ratio with its acceptable 5.2-inch screen with HD resolution.
It will run on a Qualcomm octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. OPPO is also throwing in its AI-powered Face Beauty mode on its 5-megapixel front camera.

As stated earlier, OPPO hasn’t revealed the official pricing yet. However, I do think that it wouldn’t go past the pricing of the more superior OPPO A83. This means that it’s much cheaper, probably in the range of Php8,000 to Php9,000 like its predecessor.
