Oppo A57
Oppo is on the other hand constantly
launching new midrangers. Case in point: the new Oppo A57, just unveiled for
the Chinese market.
The smartphone comes with that unmistakable Oppo
look, dressed in a gold or rose gold all-metal casing, with 2.5D curved glass
on top of its 5.2-inch 720p touchscreen. Its main camera is a 13 MP unit with
f/2.2 aperture, phase detection autofocus and a LED flash, while taking care of
selfies is a 16 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture and 1.12nm pixels.
It's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chipset,
which has a 1.4 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 processor and the Adreno 505 GPU. It's
aided by 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. The A57 has LTE support and
a 2,900 mAh battery. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow underneath Oppo's ColorOS
3.0. Its dimensions are 149.1 x 72.9 x 7.65 mm, and it weighs 147 grs.
It will become available in China on December 12 for
CNY 1,599, which right now means US$ 231 or € 218. As usual with Oppo products,
it's unclear if the A57 will ever officially be sold elsewhere.
