t’s hard to deny that flagship phones have reached a point of similarity. The latest Snapdragon processor, OLED 120Hz display, super-fast charging, impressive cameras – it all blends together. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the tech, but the excitement of a new flagship launch isn’t what it used to be. The real innovation seems to be happening in the entry-level and mid-range markets. To stay competitive, manufacturers are bringing features once exclusive to $1000 phones down to the affordable models. Now, Oppo will be a prime example, offering IP68 certification and curved display on their $100 phones. Here are the details…
Oppo Packs $1000 Flagship Features into $150 Smartphones
According to a recent report by Digital Chat Station, Oppo is working on a new phone with IP68 water and dust resistance certification. Currently, there isn’t much information available about the device. However, we know the affordable Oppo smartphone will come with a curved screen and a 5000 mAh battery.
The price point is particularly exciting, as the company aims to target the budget-friendly category with a price tag expected to be below $150 (1000 Yuan). Unfortunately, we have limited information on this phone right now. DCS hasn’t leaked a release date. However, the IP68 certification hints at an imminent launch. As someone living in a country with economic challenges, I’m glad to see these features on affordable models.
Also as a tech editor, this kind of innovation excites me. Other brands, like Xiaomi, offer impressive mid-range features, but none have matched this level of affordability yet. Hopefully, Oppo’s move will encourage more competition in this area. Perhaps we’ll even see better SoCs in budget-friendly Android phones soon.
