Oppo is preparing to launch a new affordable phone,
called Oppo A1s. Its first pictures leaked from NBTC (National Broadcasting and
Telecommunications Commission), a regulator in Thailand. The name A1s is not
yet confirmed - we only know the CPH1925 model number, but looking at its basic
look, it will pretty much fall in the lower price segment.
We can see from the photos that the phone has a dual
camera on the back and a big screen with a notch for the selfie shooter on the
front. There is a microUSB on the bottom, right next to the 3.5 mm audio
jack, while the volume keys are on the left side, opposite from the power
button. There is no fingerprint scanner, and we highly doubt the unit will have
an UD sensor and an OLED screen.
We expect the A1s to be a middle ground between the
A3s and A1k, meaning a price tag of around US$ 140-US$ 150. Since it is already
certified by the NBTC, it should launch in the following week or two.
