OPPO is expanding its high quality device offering in South Africa with the A53s which makes premium features accessible to more customers. Designed to deliver a faster and smoother performance, A53s empowers users to feel the speed and connects you to your entertainment needs and friends.

Boasting a buttery high refresh rate screen, OPPO A53s offers an immersive and smooth viewing experience with a 90Hz Neo-Display that rivals flagship phones. The 3D-curved Iridescent Wave Design hides a beefy 5000mAh Large Battery that can be quickly refilled with its 18W Fast Charge. Qualcomm’s latest octa-core processor and OPPO’s first RAM+ Memory Optimization is tailored to enhance the Google-powered Android experience for all-around fast performance.

“In line with the promise of OPPO’s A Series, A53s continues to offer strong technology that introduces a fast and smooth mobile experience for our users, in a smartphone that’s accessible to the fellows with a mobile lifestyle,” said Liam Faurie, Head of GTM Operations at OPPO South Africa. “With the 90Hz Neo-Display, A53s offers a feature found on flagship-level smartphones, but still ensures long-lasting power, a faster performance, and an enhanced user experience that suit their everyday entertainment and communication needs.”

Feel the Speed with Supreme Power and a Fast Performance

OPPO A53s comes with a 5000mAh battery that can get you through the day until the evening on just a single charge. Paired with 18W Fast Charge, you don’t need to worry about running out of power because a couple minutes on charge will keep you going for hours. And when it comes to ensuring that your phone is powered during emergencies or while you’re asleep, OPPO A53s’s Super Power Saving Mode can extend your battery life even with just 5% remaining through a series of power saving strategies, while Sleep Standby Optimization consumes only 2% of your battery, giving you up to 8 hours of standby time overnight.

To ensure a fast performance, A53s comes packed with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon octa-core 460 processor, which is among the first batch of octa-core SoCs announced in 2020 offers an impressive mobile performance that’s exceptional among its class for its speed and efficiency. A53s also sports 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1-based storage, which can be expanded to 256GB through a 3-Card Slot, giving you the flexibility to store as much as you want directly on your phone.

In addition to its powerful hardware, OPPO A53Ss comes with OPPO’s first RAM+ Memory Optimization, an industry-leading anti-lagging algorithm that’s being introduced on A53s for the first time. It works by applying an algorithm to optimizer and enhance the Android memory management and expand the cache storage on A53s’s RAM.

Consequently, this can facilitate a smoother operation of the system and greatly speed up the time it takes to open up an app. It also significantly increases the performance speed of A53s at the system level, even after prolonged use and even after opening and running apps continuously.

Feel the Speed with a Smooth and Immersive Entertainment Experience

OPPO A53s boasts a 90Hz Neo-Display that supports 90Hz display refresh rate and up to 120Hz touch sampling rate for a smoother and more responsive viewing experience, which means a smoother animation with less friction when scrolling in your photo album, Internet browser or your favorite social media.

A53s’s large 6.5-inch HD+ screen, is accented by a single punch hole design that not only maximizes the screen’s real estate but also offers eye protection. This means you’ll enjoy viewing A53s comfortably under the sun, even if the backlight is brightened so that you can view content in sunlight. In fact, with AI Brightness the screen automatically adjusts A53s’s backlight based on how it learns its user’s brightness preferences.

To further elevate your mobile entertainment experience, A53s is equipped with a pair of Super Dual Speakers, which combined with Dirac 2.0 – the state-of-the-art digital sound correction technology that delivers a superior acoustic effect whether while gaming, listening to music or watching a film.

Feel the Speed with an Outstanding and Comfortable Design

Ergonomically designed to fit in one hand while offering a comfortable grip, A53s managed to pack a massive 5000mAh battery into a thin 8.34mm enclosure, ensuring that fatigue won’t set in even if you’re wielding your smartphone for hours.

For an even more refined and lightweight look, the 3D-curved Iridescent Wave Design, which uses an integrated curved body, is framed by a silver colored metallic coating, while the decorative rings around the camera are vacuum-coated to imitate silver. To augment its premium look, A53s introduces new engraving and plating textures that shimmer with iridescent color gradients and come in four different yet vibrant color options including Fancy Blue, Mint Cream, Electric Black and Fairy White.

And by integrating the Fingerprint Sensor into the back cover, A53s enables users to unlock phones easily and intuitively without sacrificing style.

Feel the Speed with Stylish Portraits with a Single Tap

OPPO A53s also packs a 13MP AI Triple Camera on the rear of the phone, including a 13MP Main camera, a 2MP Depth camera. And you can even zoom into the details and snap objects as close as 4 cm through its 2MP macro camera.

OPPO A53s comes with ColorOS 7.2 right out of the box. With ColorOS 7.2 you’ll enjoy a fast and smooth user experience that increases the efficiency of your day-to-day. Some of the OPPO magic sprinkled on top of Google-powered Android 10 include Music Party, which introduces a fun way to replicate surround sound and liven up any party by synchronously connecting multiple phones to the same LAN connection. Or if you’re privacy minded, Multi-User Mode keeps your personal data safe by allowing you to set up independent spaces on your phone, where you can save and password lock sensitive files. To make it easier to reach apps on A53S’s larger screen with one hand, Icon Pull-Down Gesture shrinks app icons on the home screen so that all your apps are within thumb’s reach. And on the opposite end of the spectrum, Simple Mode can instead enlarge app icons and fonts on the home screen, which tailors the user experience for you if you have accessibility needs.
