Pros and Cons

Oppo A3 4G

Strengths

The phone has a premium design that looks good, especially with its iPhone-like aesthetic.
It has a triple card slot, allowing for expandable storage via microSD.
The phone is said to be drop-resistant and military standard (810h), which adds an extra layer of durability.
The camera has a 50MP main sensor with a wide aperture, capable of taking decent photos in good lighting conditions.
The battery life is reportedly good, lasting up to four years with moderate use.

Weaknesses

The phone's performance is merely 'so-so', lacking the power expected from a mid-range device.

The front-facing camera resolution is very bad and shaky, making it unsuitable for any type of photography beyond video chatting.
The phone's Snapdragon 6s gen one chip is reportedly a rebranded older model (Snapdragon 685), which may lead to performance issues.
The phone's price point of 9,000 pesos seems too high considering its relatively weak specs and camera capabilities compared to other options like the Infinix Hot 3 4G.

Oppo A3 4G

The Oppo A3 4G is an intriguing smartphone that boasts premium features at an affordable price point of 8,999 pesos. With its sleek design and iPhone-like aesthetics, it's hard to ignore its attractive exterior. The phone also comes with a range of impressive specs, including a 6nm Snapdragon 680 processor, 128GB storage, and 5,100mAh battery. But is it worth the hype? Our review will delve into the device's performance, camera capabilities, and gaming experience to help you decide if this phone is truly worth its price tag.

ZTE Blade A53+

The ZTE Blade A53+ is a budget smartphone that falls short in several areas. Despite its affordable price tag of around $150, this device fails to impress with its mediocre specs and features. The inclusion of a micro USB charging port in 2023 is a major misstep, while the dual camera setup, display resolution, and RAM are also underwhelming. With better options available at similar or slightly higher prices, such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11, it's hard to recommend this phone to anyone looking for a reliable budget device.
