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.

The post Leak: OPPO A53 2020 will come in 6GB +128GB variant for India priced around ₹15,000 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Three months after the global launch of the A52, OPPO officially announced the OPPO A53 2020 and launched it in Indonesia. While waiting for it to hit the Indian market, we can examine all of its specifications and compare it with the other devices sold in the same price range. For this comparison, we chose the Redmi Note 9 and the Realme 6i. Note that Realme 6i exists in two different variants: the Indian version and the global version. The phone we will talk about in this comparison is the Indian version, while the global version is a more affordable phone with inferior specifications.

Oppo A53 2020 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 vs Realme 6i

Design

The sleekest handset of this trio is the Realme 6i which sports a smaller camera module and a punch-hole display with a hole placed on the upper left corner. But if we talk about build quality, the Redmi Note 9 looks more interesting because it has a glass back instead of a full polycarbonate body. It is uglier, but it is well-built. Oppo A53 is thinner and lighter than its two rivals, but it is bigger due to its thicker display bezels.

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the Realme 6i: a Full HD+ panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate. It is not a high-end panel and it is an average IPS display, but it is way better than Redmi Note 9 and Oppo A53 2020. Indeed, the former features a Full HD+ display with a standard refresh rate, while the latter has a low HD+ resolution, despite it features a 90 Hz refresh rate just like the 6i. The Realme 6i wins the comparison simply because it has both the features.

Specs & Software

Even when it comes to the hardware, Realme 6i is the champion. It has a more powerful Helio G90T chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM. With Redmi Note 9, which gets the second place, you get the Helio G85 paired with max 4 GB of RAM, while Oppo A53 has an inferior Snapdragon 460 SoC built with a better production process, but with lower performance. Oppo A53, Redmi Note 9, and Realme 6i run Android 10 out of the box, highly-customized by proprietary user interfaces.

Camera

On the paper, Realme 6i wins the camera comparison. It has exactly the same rear cameras as the Redmi Note 9, but it features a better chipset as well as a better front camera with a 16 MP resolution. With the Oppo A53, you get the same front camera as the Realme 6i, but the rear cameras are inferior to both its two opponents of the comparison. Realme 6i is able to record 4K videos at 30 fps and 1080p videos at 120 fps with EIS. It has a 48 MP main sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture, an ultrawide sensor, and two sensors with 2 MP resolutions for macro and depth.

Battery

The biggest battery belongs to the Redmi Note 9, but the OPPO A53 2020 should last more on a single charge because it has a lower resolution for the display and a more efficient chipset (the Snapdragon 460 built at 11 nm). Both feature 18W fast charging, but with the Redmi Note 9, you get 9W reverse charging (wired). Realme 6i has a smaller battery and a shorter battery life, but it has a much faster charging technology with a power of 30W.

Price

Oppo A53 sells for €140/$165, Realme 6i starts from €170/$200, and Redmi Note 9 has a €150/$177 starting price. The Realme 6i is a more advanced device thanks to its Full HD+ 90 Hz display and its better chipset, but unlike Redmi Note 9 and Oppo A53, it is not a battery phone.
