The upcoming Philippine release of the OPPO A3 is just around the corner. However, Oppo might have already spilled the beans about its pricing info.
As spotted on the brand’s official Lazada store, the newly listed OPPO A3 goes for PHP 8,999 for the sole config 6GB+128GB. Not only does it reveal the pricing but apparently, interested buyers can already checkout the product.
To recap, the OPPO A3 on paper sounds like an entry-level device. It sports a 6.67-inch HD+ display and despite it being an LCD panel, it has a peak brightness of up to 1000 nits.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 (yes, that’s the official name) which is an updated version of the Snapdragon 662 from 2020. It gets a slight boost in speed at 2.1GHz (from 2.0GHz), and Qualcomm says it has an improved Adreno GPU.
Other notable features include a military-grade shock resistance complemented with IP54 rating for protection against dust and splashes.
