Oppo A33 launched as a cheaper alternative to the A53

Earlier this month, Oppo launched the A53 in Nepal. The main selling point of the smartphone was the 90Hz display. And now, the company has launched Oppo A33 in select markets. It keeps the main specs of the A53 intact but brings some changes in the camera department. Let’s take a look at the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Oppo A33 in Nepal.

Oppo A33 Overview

Design and Display

Like the A53, the Oppo A33 sports a 6.5-inch LCD display. Oppo is emphasizing on the 90Hz refresh rate. However, the resolution is only HD+. The smartphone sports a trendy look with the punch-hole display. The circular cut-out for the front camera is on the top left corner of the screen. At the back, there is a rectangular camera module that houses the triple camera setup. The back panel also houses the physical fingerprint scanner. Oppo A53 is available in two color options – Mint Green and Moonlight Black.

Performance

Under the hood, Oppo has included the same chipset that is used in the A53 – Snapdragon 460. This 11nm chip from Qualcomm features eight Kryo 240 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. The graphics are handled by Adreno 610 GPU. On the other hand, the memory configuration has been changed. While the A53 landed in Nepal with 4+64GB memory, the A33 has 3GB of RAM paired with 32GB of internal storage. The latter is expandable up to 256GB.

Camera

While Oppo has gone with a triple-camera setup, it has downgraded the size of the primary camera on the A33. The A53 came with a 16MP camera, but it has been reduced to 13MP in the A33. The rest of the setup has remained the same including the 2MP depth sensor and 2MP macro sensor. These three sensors are arranged vertically in the rectangular camera bump, alongside the flash. Oppo has also compromised the camera on the front of the device. The A53 came with a 16MP front camera while the A33 now has an 8MP selfie camera enclosed inside the punch-hole cutout.

Rest of the specs

Oppo A33 features the same 5,000mAh as the A53. Both smartphones support 18W fast charging. Here, the Oppo A33 will ship with ColorOS 7.2 based on Android 10. For biometrics, there is a capacitive fingerprint sensor at the back of the device.
