Last month Oppo unveiled a basic 4G smartphone for the Thai market, now the same phone is headed to India. It’s called the Oppo A57 4G and it’s a cheaper version of the 5G-enabled A57.
The Indian launch is expected to be formalized in the coming days as online sales are expected to begin on June 21 (Tuesday), according to sources speaking with RootMyGalaxy. While it will be available online (via Oppo.com and select retailers), this device will focus on sales through physical stores.
The Oppo A57 4G is available in Glowing Green and Glowing Black
The expected price is INR 13,500, which is slightly higher than Thailand’s price (but this is likely due to different taxes). The launch in Thailand included a small pre-order discount, so early risers may be able to get the phone a little cheaper.
So what is the Oppo A57 4G like? Compared to the 5G model, it uses the less powerful Helio G35 (which replaces the Dimensity 810) and the memory is halved: 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage (eMMC 5.1). Additionally, the 6.56-inch HD + display loses its 90Hz refresh rate. Both phones use the same basic camera setup: 13MP main plus 2MP depth on the back, 8MP on the front.
There are also improvements, believe it or not. The 4G model has an IP54 rating for dust and water (splash) resistance, plus the 5,000mAh battery gains 33W fast charging (0-50% in 30 minutes).
The similar Oppo A55 is already available in the country – another Helio G35 phone, albeit this one with a 50MP main camera. It costs INR 15,500 on Oppo.com, but can be found for a lower price through resellers.
