Following the recent launch of the Oppo A3 Pro 5G, there have been rumors about a standard A3 5G variant. A new listing on China Telecom appears to confirm the Oppo A3 5G's existence, providing details about its expected specifications and possible release date.
The smartphone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 695 SoC
According to the China Telecom listing, the model number "PKA110" is associated with the Oppo A3 5G. This dispels earlier rumors that this model number was for a flat-screen version of the A3 Pro. The listing hints at a potential July release in China, but no exact date has been specified.
The Oppo A3 5G is anticipated to be equipped with the Snapdragon 695 SoC (model number SM6375). This suggests that Oppo may be utilizing existing inventory of the SD695 before transitioning to newer processors. The phone is expected to run the latest Android 14 operating system, layered with Oppo’s ColorOS 14.
Specifications and Design
The Oppo A3 5G is rumored to come with a 6.7-inch flat display offering a resolution of 2412 x 1080 pixels. The listing indicates the phone will have dimensions of 162.54 x 75.44 x 7.15 mm and weigh approximately 179 grams.
In terms of aesthetics, the China Telecom listing suggests that the A3 5G will share a similar design language with the Pro variant, featuring a circular camera module with a dual-camera setup and an LED flash. However, unlike the Pro variant’s rumored leather finish, the A3 5G is expected to have a more cost-effective all-plastic build. The bottom of the device is likely to include a USB Type-C port, SIM card tray, and speaker grille.
