OPPO has officially announced a new entry-level smartphone in the Indian market known as the OPPO A16e that comes with some minor differences from the OPPO A16k which was launched some time ago, including the adoption of a new chipset.
Starting with the front, the OPPO A16e features a 6.52” IPS LCD display which offers a modest HD+ screen resolution along with 60Hz refresh rate. For selfies and video calls, the phone does has a decent 5 megapixels front-facing camera to pick up the task.
At the back, it comes with a square-shaped cam era module which houses only a single 13 megapixels snapper that will be aided by a LED flash. Quite interestingly, the phone doesn’t comes with any form of biometric authentication due to a lack of fingerprint scanner onboard.
Unlike the OPPO A16k which was powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 chipset, the OPPO A16e is equipped with a Helio P22 chipset instead. This will be paired with up to 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage which supports further expansion via a microSD card.
To keep it’s lights on, the phone is equipped with a 4,230mAh battery that doesn’t comes with any form of fast-charging solution. Software-wise, it’ll be shipped with ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11 out of the box.
For those who’re interested, the phone is available in a trio of colors such as Midnight Black, Blue, and White. At the moment, the OPPO has yet to officially disclose the pricing and availability of the phone.
