Oppo has just revision the pricing for certain smartphone models in India. This revision in price was for the company’s A series of budget and affordable mid range handsets, with the new prices being live as of today (1st of July 2021).

The news was first shared on Twitter by @Abhishek Yadav and is already reflected on online listings on popular e-retail websites that have these smartphone models in stock. On the social media platform, Abhishek shared a small number of models along with their new revised pricing. This includes the Oppo A11K, which is now available for 8,990 INR (roughly 120 US Dollars). While this was the original pricing of the device, it is still notable since it was launched back in June of last year.

Oppo revised pricing of their Oppo "A" series models from July 1, 2021 in India.

New Pricing
– Oppo A11K ₹8,990

– Oppo A15 2GB+32GB ₹9,490
– Oppo A15 3GB+32GB ₹10,490

-Oppo A15s 4GB+64GB ₹12,490

Similarly, the Oppo A15 series also saw a price revision, with its 2GB + 32GB variant now being sold for 9,490 INR (roughly 127 US Dollars) while the 3GB + 32GB variant is now available for 10,490 INR (roughly 140 US Dollars). Again, while this isn’t exactly a rise from its launch price, it is still close to its original offering from October 2020. Usually, the prices of smartphones drop within a couple of months, which is especially true for mid range and budget devices.

Lastly, the A15s is now available for 12,490 INR (roughly 167 US Dollars), up from 11,490 INR (roughly 154 US Dollars), while the Oppo A53‘s 8GB + 128GB variant is now priced at 17,990 INR (roughly 241 US Dollars). This also marks a 1,000 INR rise from the original 16,990 INR launch price (roughly 228 US Dollars). Recently, a number of brands have revised the pricing of their products in India.

This includes Xiaomi, which raised the prices for its Mi TVs. Similarly, even the Redmi Note 10 saw its third price hike in India earlier this month. At the moment, the world is suffering from a shortage of semiconductors and various firms are also struggling to maintain a consistent supply for a number of their products. The automobiles and the consumer electronics market are two such affected industries.

The battle of entry-level began. This year the main smartphone manufacturers focused on upper-midrange phones and increased the prices of flagship phones, but they did not stop releasing entry-level devices. The latest is the Oppo A11k, just launched in the Indian market. But is it the best entry-level in terms of value for money or there are better handsets? Actually, it has several rivals in the Indian market: we believe that among the most interesting deals there are Realme C3 and Redmi 8A Dual, despite the price hikes caused by the pandemic. This comparison will help you to understand which entry-level should be the best for your needs.

Oppo A11k vs Realme C3 vs Xiaomi Redmi 8A Dual

Design

If you want the most futuristic and elegant design, just do not go for entry-level phones like these ones. But Oppo A11k, Realme C3, and Redmi 8A Dual remain devices with modern aesthetics, including a display with narrow bezels and a waterdrop notch. Unfortunately, they have a cheap polycarbonate body. But with the Realme C3 and Redmi 8A Dual, you get some kind of protection against water. They are not waterproof, but you will not have problems if you use them while it is raining. Redmi 8A Dual even comes with the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the display, so it is very sturdy.

Display

Unfortunately, with each of these devices, you get a display below the average. But we are still talking about sufficient panels, with enough definition and decent overall quality. In each case, you get an IPS display with an HD+ resolution. The Realme C3 looks like the one with the highest peak brightness, and it also comes with a wider display diagonal (6.5 inches). On the other hand, with the Oppo A11k and the Redmi 8A Dual, you get a more compact body thanks to smaller displays.

Specs & Software

The highest performance level is provided by the Realme C3 not only because it has a great Helio G70 with high CPU and GPU performance (but it is still an entry-level chipset), but also because it is the only to come with up to 4 GB of RAM. The RAM is paired with up to 64 GB of internal storage (eMMC, unfortunately). Right after, we got the Redmi 8A Dual which offers the great stability of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 439 chipset and up to 3 GB of RAM. Oppo A11k has a lower-end Helio P22 chipset and just 2 GB of RAM. Note that Realme C3 is the only to run Android 10 out of the box. The Realme C3 is definitely the winner of the hardware and software comparison.

Camera

The brighter focal aperture of the main sensor found on the Realme C3 makes this device the most interesting camera phone of the trio. It should allow shooting better photos than Oppo A11k and Redmi 8A Dual in most of the conditions. But the Redmi 8A Dual actually comes with a better front camera which consists of a single 8 MP sensor. Again, the Oppo A11k is the most disappointing, but not by a high margin.

Battery

With its huge 5000 mAh battery and its smaller display (smaller than Realme C3), Redmi 8A Dual is able to provide an overall longer battery life. Realme C3 takes the silver medal, while Oppo A11k can not compete with its two rivals because it comes with a much smaller (but still very satisfying) battery. Redmi 8A Dual also wins the charger comparison since it provides faster charging speeds (18W fast charging) and it even supports reverse charging. Both Oppo A11k and Realme C3 charge at 10W.

Price

Oppo A11k is priced Rs.8,990/$118 in India, the Realme C3 price in India has been set at Rs. 8,999, and Redmi 8A Dual is priced Rs.6,499/$85. At the end of the day, I believe Realme C3 is a more valid device since it comes with better hardware, cameras, and Android 10 out of the box. But Redmi 8A Dual is more compact and more affordable while still providing similar specifications. In regards to Oppo A11k, you should wait for its price to drop before considering it.

Samsung‘s Galaxy M series is as popular as the A-series. The Galaxy M11 and M01 were recently launched in the market and apparently, they did cause a bit of rattle. OPPO is now gearing up to launch three new smartphones to take on the Galaxy M series.

91 mobiles cite retail sources to have hinted that the OPPO A12, A11k and A52 will be launching in India as early as next week. Noted tipster Ishan Agarwal also corroborated this rumour.

The OPPO A12 has already been launched in Indonesia back in April. A leaked poster said to be from retail sources contained sone of the key specs of the A12 as well as the launch offers. The phone features a dual-camera setup, 4,230mAh battery, Android 9.0 OS fingerprint sensor and AI face unlock. It will be available in two memory variants- 3GB+32GB and 4GB + 64GB. The retail price for the Indian market is yet to be revealed but we expect it to be similar to that of Indonesia which starts at IDR 2,499 (around Rs 12,300).

Ishan Agarwal tips the OPPO A11k to have a similar design as the A12. The difference will be in the RAM size as it will feature 2GB of RAM and 32GB storage. The phone will pack an Helio P35 processor, Android 9.0 OS and 6.33-inch HD+ display, among others. It will also be the cheapest among the trio.

The OPPO A52 has also been launched in China back in April and comes with a 1,599 yuan (~Rs 17,325) price tag. It will have a better 6.5-inch FHD+ punch-hole display and is powered by the Snapdragon 665 SoC paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The A52 will also pack a quad-camera setup that includes a 12MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. For selfies, there will be an 8MP front shooter. Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. The phone will run Android 10 out of the box.
