OPPO A3x - Now available, Price Starts at PHP5,499 in Philippines

OPPO Philippines is set to launch their newest smartphone under A-series following the success of their A60 phone. The new OPPO A3x will be open for order tomorrow with a suggested retail price of PHP5,499 for the base model and the higher storage variant is tagged at PHP6,999.

Another solid phone that features a military-grade shock resistance which expected to withstand multiple accidental drops, impacts and wet splashes. It is handled by Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen1 for the processing power and the graphics card is an Adreno 610 clocked at 1050MHz. The chipset is romoured as a rebranded Snapdragon 662 that seems to have a very little improvements in terms of performance.

For a device with 6K price range, you can't expect more with its camera. It has a 5MP selfie lens which is good enough to capture photos for your social media accounts and a dual camera in a iPhone like module with 8MP as the main sensor and a supporting focus sensor.

The battery is another selling point of a phone, this phone is boasts with 5100mAh capacity that assures you to last more than a day in light usage. Added to that is the 45W fast charging with OPPO's SuperVOOC technology to quickly refill the power of your smartphone. It is also tested to have a minimum of 80% capacity for 4-years in a single daily charge simulation.

It is also worth noting the OPPO A3x is tested and complied at MIL-STD-810H standard but still does not guarantee the device from extreme environment conditions.
