OPPO A12, A12e renders and specs surface online

The renders and specs of OPPO’s upcoming budget smartphones, the OPPO A12 and A12e, have surfaced online.

The OPPO A12 is reported to sport a 6.22-inch HD+ waterdrop notch display with a MediaTek Helio P35 chipset. It will come in two configurations – 3GB RAM with 32GB of storage, and 4GB ram with 64GB storage. The OPPO A12 is reported to sport three cameras, a 13MP + 2MP dual rear camera set up, and a single 5MP front camera. The OPPO A12 will run on ColorOS 6.1.2 based on Android 9 out of the box, with a 4,230mAh battery.

The OPPO A12e might be the cheaper option between the two, and it appears to be a rebrand of the OPPO A3s. It’s reported to sport the same 6.2-inch HD+ display with a Snapdragon 450 chipset, paired with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The cameras on the A12e are also the same as the those in the A3s, which consist of a 13MP + 2 MP dual rear camera setup, and an 8MP front shooter. What makes the rebrand convincing, is that the report indicates that the A12e is still running on ColorOS5.1, which is based on Android 8 Oreo. It also sports the same 4,230mAh battery.
