It’s raining smartphones today. After Nokia’s four new budget offerings, Oppo today took the wraps off its new sub-Rs. 15,000 budget smartphone in India. It’s called the Oppo A53 and it arrives as the first smartphone powered by Snapdragon 460 SoC in India. The smartphone also sports a 90Hz display, larger battery, and triple camera setup.
Oppo A53 features a 3D Iridescent Wave gradient on the rear panel, where you will also find the triple camera setup and a capacitive fingerprint sensor.
This is the first smartphone powered by Snapdragon 460 chipset to launch in India. The same chipset is rumored to be found aboard the Moto E7 Plus and an unknown OnePlus entry-level phone as well. The chipset is paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage, which is expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card.
The 4GB+64GB base variant of the Oppo A53 has been priced at Rs. 12,990 while the higher-end 6GB+128GB variant has been priced at Rs. 15,490 in India.
