Today , OPPO presented its new smartphone of medium-low range A 53 5G . The device represents the 5G version of the already known OPPO A 53, launched on the market last September. If you think that this new version only adds the 5G module to the standard one, you are wrong . The new OPPO A 53 5G brings important improvements in almost all sectors, from the hardware one but also considering the software one.

MediaTek Dimensity 720: the chip ready for 5G

The processor mounted becomes the MediaTek Dimensity 720 , capable of supporting the 5G module, to the detriment of the less performing Snapdragon 460 used on A 53. The display has a good 6.5 inch LCD panel with resolution Full HD + , one update frequency to 90 Hz and even a maximum brightness of 480 nit. The 5G version of A 53 comes with 4/6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of external storage memory, not expandable.

The multimedia compartment is still made up of a triple camera , but it gains in quality. The main now sees the presence of a sensor from 16 MP with focal aperture of f / 2.2 followed by a lens for macro shots and a depth sensor of 2 MP . The selfie cam instead results from 8 MP and it is inserted inside a hole in the upper left of the screen, as has been fashionable lately. The device measures 162, 2 x 75 x 7.9 mm and weighs 175 g , supports Dual-SIM and works with Android 10 customized with ColorOS 7.2 .

Autonomy is probably the only characteristic that does not improve compared to A 53 . The battery of the 5G version has a capacity of 4. 040 mAh against 5. 00 0 mAh of the standard version. Finally OPPO A 53 5G continues to place a 3.5mm jack as well as a fingerprint sensor on the side of the frame instead of on the back like its predecessor.

Prices and availability

The phone was unveiled in China today at a price of CNY 1. 299, about 160 euro at the exchange rate. It will probably also be distributed for the European market, even if at the moment there is no news about it for our country.
