OPPO A12 - a boring smartphone for the global market

OPPO in the last few dayssignificantly expanded the line A. Models appeared OPPO A12 and OPPO A52. In addition, a highly respected German source speaks about the imminent release of a pair of OPPO A smartphones in Europe - these will be the already mentioned OPPO A52, however, in a slightly different version from the Chinese version, and its older relative OPPO A72. Total three pieces. True, only two are officially represented, though: OPPO A12 - globally, OPPO A52 - only in China.

OPPO A12

OPPO A12 apparently released for reasons ofthe need for a starting position in the current generation of the family. That's just to be. This is a rather simple smartphone by today's standards, a close relative of the OPPO A5s sold in Russia for a year (as well as the not-sold “Chinese” OPPO A7n and “Taiwanese” OPPO AX5s). Iron is rather weak, but the battery is good - 4230 mAh.

6.22 ″ IPS screen with HD + resolution. Chipset - MediaTek Helio P35 MT6765, RAM capacity 3 or 4 GB, storage - 32 or 64 GB. The cameras are modest - the dual main 13 MP + 2 MP depth sensor and 5 MP frontal. There is a fingerprint scanner, of course, no NFC support.

With prices, it’s somehow not very clear, but there are some expectations for the Indian market. There, a version of 3 GB + 32 GB is expected from June 10 for ₹ 11999 (₽12100, $ 156).
