Oppo has launched its newest cost-effective smartphone, the A3 Energy Edition, in China. This device is designed to deliver durability, strong battery life, and solid performance, all at a budget-friendly price point. Let's explore the specifics.
Oppo A3 Energy Edition Specifications
The A3 Energy Edition comes in three colors: Purple Crescent, Bamboo Forest Green, and Fog Sea Black. It boasts a stylish design, with a slim profile that is just 7.68mm thick and weighs around 186g, making it easy to manage.
Built for everyday use, the smartphone has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring it can handle brief encounters with rain. Oppo states it has passed a 10-minute simulated rain test and ensures reliable touch functionality even with wet or greasy fingers.
To boost its durability, Oppo includes an anti-fall protective case with raised corners and an anti-slip vertical stripe design for a better grip.
The display, while adequate, does not stand out. It has a 6.67-inch LCD panel with HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits.
Robust Performance and Battery Life
Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, the phone is well-equipped for daily tasks. It features a 5100mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging, similar to high-end models like the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The device is available with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, with an option to upgrade to 512GB.
The camera setup includes a dual rear configuration, featuring a primary 50-megapixel sensor and a secondary 2-megapixel sensor. The front camera is 8-megapixels. The phone also offers AI features such as object removal, cutout, and document scanning for added convenience. Audio is handled by a single speaker.
