Not long ago we heard that Oppo would be rocking the best MediaTek chips for its high-end offerings. The company has just launched a new offering at the opposite end of the spectrum. This article will delve into the details of the latest Oppo A60 smartphone including its specifications, price in Nepal, and so on.

Oppo A60 Overview

Design and Display

The Oppo A60 comes in a flat design and a pill-shaped camera island on the back. It is available in two different finishes — the first one is a monotone Midnight Purple, while the other is ripple-patterned Ripple Blue. It also comes with IP54 water and dust resistance along with MIL-STD-810H certification.

On the front, you get a 6.67-inch A-Si LCD panel with KK6 cover glass. The screen stretches HD+ in resolution and offers a refresh rate of 90Hz. Additionally, it comes with a maximum touch sampling rate of 240Hz, a peak brightness of 950nits, and an 83% NTSC colour gamut.

Performance

For the primary performance, the Oppo A60 relies on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset. It is a 4G-only chip that comes with eight cores, 6nm fabrication, and a peak clock speed of 2.4GHz. Moreover, the chip is about three years old at this point and prioritises battery life more than anything else.

Other than that, you get an 8GB LPDDR4x RAM coupled with two options of UFS 2.2 storage. The storage option includes 128GB or 256GB internal and support for expansion via a MicroSD card. Similarly, it allows you to double the RAM capacity virtually if you require more memory on your phone. On the software front, the Oppo A60 boots on ColorOS 14.0.1 based on Android 14.

Camera and the rest

Moving on to the imaging capabilities of this phone, it wields a dual camera setup on the back. The primary of which is a 50MP shooter while the secondary camera is a measly 2MP unit. On the other hand, you get an 8MP selfie camera on the Oppo A60.
