Oppo A60: A phone for Vloggers on a Budget?

Sudhanshu — Fri, 03 May 2024 01:29:51 +0000

Last week, Oppo unveiled the OPPO A60, a new budget-friendly smartphone in the global market. Serving as the successor to the A59 5G, this device comes with a range of interesting features, all packaged in a stylish design. That being said, there are a few peculiar hardware choices by Oppo that have made that make this device quite an oddball. So let’s take a look at what the Oppo A60 has to offer.

All about the looks

Right off the bat, it is quite evident that this phone is a pretty-looking one. Oppo is one of the few brands that has been consistently providing good-looking budget-range devices, and the A60 is no exception. It comes with an in-fashion boxy design measuring just 7.68mm thick, with a pill-shaped camera island that houses two large cutouts for the camera sensors.

If the design is not enough to impress, its color options are also quite special. First, we have the the Ripple Blue color option, which as the name suggests, has a ripple-like design akin to ocean waves. These patterns are made with the use of Oppo’s Magnetic Particle Design, which shimmers when it catches light. Additionally, the back has a fingerprint-free finish, which means that you won’t have to worry about smudges.

The second color option is the elegant Midnight Purple, which also gives off a nice glow when it catches light. This color option comes with a frosted glass finish that makes it feel even more premium to hold.

A decent display

While the device looks quite good from the back, the front features a 6.67-inch 1604 x 720 pixels IPS-LCD display with thick bezels. While a lower-end phone featuring a 720p display isn’t unheard of, considering the price point at which Oppo is selling it (~$216), phones with FHD+ displays are easy to find. That being said, it does offer a 90Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 950 nits, so it’s not all bad.

No 5G connectivity

While the Oppo A59, the predecessor of the A60 debuted with a 5G-enabled Dimensity 6020 SoC, the Oppo A60 comes with the Snapdragon 680 4G processor. This is quite a head-scratcher as the SD680 is both weaker in performance and it also lacks the 5G connectivity of the Dimensity 6020. So what’s the deal here?

One of the reasons for this move could be that the demand for 5G smartphones has yet to explode in some markets like Vietnam, where Oppo has currently launched this smartphone. In exchange for the weaker chip, users get more RAM compared to last year’s A59 5G, as the A60 comes in two configurations: 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage.

A camera system made for vlogging

The phone comes with a standard 50MP (PDAF) primary camera, paired with a 2MP placeholder secondary lens, and an 8MP front camera. However, Oppo provides the option to record with the front and rear cameras at the same time, which is a feature targeted at content creators starting their vlogging journey.

Other than that the phone has an AI Retouching feature for the selfie camera that works like a beauty mode.

Other notable features

The Oppo A60 comes with a respectable 5,000mAh battery, which is paired with 45W fast charging support that promises to fill up half of the battery in 30 minutes.

Additionally, the phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, as well as a face ID for security. It offers stereo audio via a dual speaker setup and has a 3.5mm jack. Users also get the option to expand its up to 1TB with memory via a microSD card, and it is certified with an IP54 rating, meaning it can withstand dust as well as water sprays from all directions.

It runs on Android 14-based ColorOS 14.0.1 out of the box and offers NFC, as well as dual-SIM 4G LTE connectivity.
