OPPO A53 2020 made its debut in Indonesia on Thursday. The handset costs Rp 2,499,000 ($169) in the country for 4GB + 64GB storage configuration. It is scheduled to launch in India on August 25. Ahead of it, a new leak suggests the world’s second-largest smartphone market will get a different memory variant.
The OPPO A53 2020 is known as the first smartphone to launch with Snapdragon 460. It is probably also the first handset to sport an HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) LCD panel with 90Hz refresh rate. Also, it is priced competitively, compared to previous devices from the brand.
According to Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings), this phone will be available in 6GB + 128GB combo in India initially. He added that the price of this model could be somewhere between ₹14,000 and ₹15,000. Also, he mentioned that the lower 4GB + 64GB variant that launched in Indonesia will make its way to India sometime later.
At this price, the device will have to compete with POCO M2 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Po, Realme 6, and Samsung Galaxy M21 in the country. But since OPPO is an offline-focused company with a heavy emphasis on marketing, it can definitely manage to push handsome units of A53 2020 edition into the hands of customers.
Anyway, it is not a bad budget smartphone per se as it features a 12MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup, 16MP punch-hole selfie camera, fingerprint sensor, microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C, 5,000mAh battery, 18W fast charging, and ColorOS 7.2 based on Android 10.
