You are reading a story from PhoneRadar.

In this selfie world, OPPO is one of the very first manufacturers to capitalize on the selfie feature by launching quite a few smartphones with higher resolution front cameras. In November last year, the company launched the OPPO A57 mid-range smartphone in China. The device is priced at 1,599 Yuan (approx Rs. 16,000) and came with a metal built body along with decent configuration. Now, the company is all set to launch the same OPPO A57 in the Indian market on February 3rd. Though there are no other details mentioned about the device, we expect it to feature the same specifications as on the Chinese variant.

The OPPO A57 sports a 5.2-inch display with HD (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution and a 2.5D glass laid on top. Under the hood is the Snapdragon 435 octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz and coupled with Adreno 505 GPU. The OPPO A57 also packs 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage that can be further expanded via MicroSD card slot. It runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow based in-house ColorOS 3.0 out of the box. The USP of the device lies in its camera department, it features a 13MP rear camera with f/2.2 aperture, PDAF, and LED flash. While on the front is a whopping 16MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture.
