OPPO officially launched its latest smartphone, the OPPO A3, in Kuala Lumpur, designed to offer durability, performance, and an enhanced user experience for everyday work and play. Aimed at consumers seeking a reliable yet powerful device, the A3 introduces a range of cutting-edge features, including Military-Grade Shock Resistance, advanced liquid resistance, and extended battery life.
Durable Design with Military-Grade Resistance
The OPPO A3 boasts a sturdy construction aimed at providing long-term reliability. It is engineered using double-tempered glass and advanced materials, designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use. The device has been awarded the MIL-STD 810H Certification for Military-Grade Shock Resistance, making it one of the toughest phones in its segment. In addition, the A3 meets SGS Standard Certification, confirming its durability.
For added protection, the OPPO A3 is IP54 rated for water and dust resistance, ensuring the device is safe from common liquid spills, such as coffee or soup. Its innovative Splash Touch feature allows users to operate the device even with wet hands, a useful feature in everyday situations like light rain or after a swim.
Despite its robust design, the OPPO A3 maintains a sleek, modern aesthetic. Measuring 7.68 mm in thickness and weighing just 186 g, the phone’s smooth texture and refined design—featuring a 2D flat-back cover and right-angled frame—exude a premium look. Available in Starlight White and Sparkle Black, the A3 offers both a glossy finish and OPPO’s signature glow process, providing a stylish shimmer while keeping the phone resistant to fingerprints and dirt.
Impressive Battery Life and Fast Charging Capabilities
At the heart of the OPPO A3 is a large 5,100mAh battery, designed to support users for extended periods. With 1,600 charge cycles, the battery is built to retain over 80% of its original capacity after four years of typical use, ensuring long-term performance.
The phone’s 45W SUPERVOOC™ Flash Charge technology enables fast charging, allowing the battery to reach 50% in just 30 minutes and a full charge in 75 minutes. OPPO’s Smart Charging feature adjusts the charging process to users’ habits, optimizing battery longevity and ensuring safety.
Optimized for Performance and Entertainment
Powered by the Snapdragon® 6s 4G Gen1 mobile platform, the OPPO A3 delivers efficient processing with low power consumption, making it suitable for everything from gaming to streaming. The phone comes with 8GB of RAM and storage options of 128GB or 256GB, with the potential to expand RAM by an additional 8GB through OPPO’s RAM Expansion technology. This, combined with OPPO’s ColorOS 14 and its advanced computing resource management, ensures smooth performance across multiple applications.
For gaming enthusiasts, the OPPO A3 offers a 6.67-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, delivering seamless visuals. The display also features automatic brightness adjustment up to 1,000 nits, providing clear visibility even under direct sunlight. Enhanced audio quality is achieved through OPPO’s Ultra Volume Mode, which increases the speaker volume by up to 300%, making sure all sounds—from phone calls to music—are crisp and clear, even in noisy environments.
Camera and Creativity Features
The OPPO A3 is equipped with a 50MP Ultra-Clear Camera and a 5MP Selfie Camera, along with features like AI Portrait Retouching, Dual-View Video, and Third-Party Video Retouching. These tools allow users to capture natural-looking images and videos while offering creative flexibility, making the A3 ideal for content creators.
Pricing and Availability
The OPPO A3 is available in two configurations: the 8GB RAM + 128GB model priced at RM699, and the 8GB RAM + 256GB model, priced at RM799 (coming soon). Starting from 13 September, the phone will be available at My OPPO Space, OPPO Brand Stores, and authorized dealers across Malaysia, as well as through OPPO’s online platforms and partner e-commerce sites.
