Oppo has released the A3 Pro, a new mid-range handset that combines a 120 Hz AMOLED display with a large battery and a 64 MP primary camera. The Oppo A3 Pro may look like many other modern smartphones, but it is also one of the few that is IP69 certified, which Oppo complements with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and Crystal Shield glass.

Oppo has officially presented the A3 Pro, having teased the device on Chinese social media in the last few days. As expected, the company has only introduced the device in China for now, with no word yet on an international release. For context, the company offers the A3 Pro in three memory configurations at the following prices:

  • 8 GB RAM/256 GB storage - CNY 1,999 (~$276)
  • 12 GB RAM/256 GB storage - CNY 2,199 (~$304)
  • 8 GB RAM/512 GB storage - CNY 2,499 (~$345)

As far as we can tell, Oppo equips the A3 Pro with the same hardware regardless of the memory configuration. Thus, all variants are IP69 certified and feature Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 across their 6.7-inch display. For reference, the large display relies upon a 1080p AMOLED panel that delivers a 120 Hz refresh rate with 950 nits peak brightness.

On top of that, the A3 Pro finds itself with an in-display fingerprint scanner and an 8 MP front-facing camera (f/2.0), but only two rear-facing cameras (64 MP/2 MP) despite Oppo's best impressions to suggest otherwise. Moreover, Oppo equips the handset with a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset with eight CPU cores and a Mali-G68 GPU. Additionally, Oppo includes a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 67 W wired charging. However, the A3 Pro lacks any wireless charging technology to speak of. Please see Oppo's website for more details.
