To replace the A79 5G from last year, Oppo A80 5G is the successor they’ve been working on behind the scenes, making headway for a global debut. 91Mobiles leaked most of its hidden details, pricing, and official renders yesterday, and from its appearance, it may be an entry-to-mid-range option.
We start with the most crucial detail they added to the report. This phone isn’t an original but a reincarnation of their recently launched Oppo A3 Energy Edition in China. They may have rebranded it as A80 5G for a launch outside the home market. Here’s how the phone looks and some of its specs.
This one is a flat 6.67” plain LCD device. 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,000 nits brightness are a fitting upgrade compared to the forerunner. And the report suggests its resolution goes up to HD+ 720p. That last bit may raise some eyebrows because it will be a downgrade from A79’s FHD+ 1080p screen.
It’s a 5G device, as the title says. What we have here is an entry-level chip from MediaTek. In 2024, it may be the cheapest one with a 5G modem onboard. D6300’s core count is eight with a max frequency of 2.4GHz. Oppo's new 5G smartphone pairs the engine to LPDDR4X 8 GB RAM.
There’s at least 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage up for grabs. 5000mAh power source and a 45W SuperVOOC charging kit keep it running. Then, you’ll have a 50 MP rear primary, 2 MP rear secondary, and an 8 MP front selfie unit for your photos and videos. From what the report claims, Europe will be among the first regions to shelf the A80 5G at €249 (~PKR 75,000).
