Mid-range smartphones definitely have a
quick turnaround these days, so with that in mind it makes sense that Oppo is
already working on the Oppo A53, which is intended to be the successor to the
A52 that launched just a few months ago, in April.
Weirdly enough the new A53 will share its
name with a different Oppo phone that saw the light of day in 2015. Apparently
the company thinks five years is enough time that no one would be confused by
such a move.
Anyway, today a purported list of specs of
the new Oppo A53 has leaked, and you can see it above. The phone is said to
sport a 6.53-inch 90Hz LCD touchscreen, the Snapdragon 460 chipset at the helm,
4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and a 5,000
mAh battery with 18W fast charging.
The front camera will be 16 MP and housed
in a hole-punch cutout of the screen, while on the back we'll see a 13 MP main
shooter flanked by a 2 MP macro cam and a 2 MP depth sensor, just so the A53
can claim to have a triple rear camera setup. The fingerprint sensor will be on
the back too.
Presumably, the handset will launch
running Android 10 with Oppo's ColorOS 7.x on top. The Oppo A53 has already
been certified by multiple authorities across the world, so its launch may just
be a matter of days, or weeks from this point on.
