Oppo A3 Pro launched with minimal upgrades and an IP69 rating

April 14, 2024

Oppo unveiled the successor to the A2 Pro in China a few days ago. Not only does the smartphone sport a fancy-looking design, but it also has an impressive mix of features for a phone at its price. In this article, let’s take a quick look at the Oppo A3 Pro, its features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

Oppo A3 Pro Overview

Design and Display

Looks-wise, the A3 Pro features a circular camera island at the center surrounded by either a glass or vegan leather back. There’s a ring enclosing the camera bump, similar to the A2 Pro. However, this time around the camera ring is larger and more pronounced. The back is protected by Oppo’s ‘Crystal Shield’ with improved drop resistance while the front features Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus protection. All this with an IP69 rating for improved dust and water resistance.

The three color options for the device include Azure, Pink, and Blue. The former comes in a dual-tone glossy finish with glittery patterns on the back. Meanwhile, the Pink and Black options come in a dual-texture finish featuring leather and a marble-like strip running through the centre.

On the front, you get a 6.7-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It features a punch-hole on the top with minimal chin and side bezels.

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the new Oppo A3 Pro sports the same Dimensity 7050 chipset from MediaTek as its predecessor. So, in terms of raw power, there won’t be much of an upgrade here. Memory options are also similar with the smartphone supporting up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of memory. On the software side, A3 Pro boots on ColorOS 14 based on Android.

Cameras

There are a total of 3 cameras on the A3 Pro. The primary shooter is a 64MP sensor with an aperture of f/1.7 accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor. Over on the front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera. Safe to say, the camera setup is almost unchanged from the ast generation.
