Oppo is preparing to introduce Oppo A53s as an affordable 5G smartphone in India. The mobile brand has scheduled the launch for A53s on April 27 at 12 PM. It’s been only a couple of days since OPPO launched the Oppo A74 5G in the country at a price of Rs. 17,990. Now, on the heels of it, this new phone is set to launch.

Oppo A53s 5G Expected Features
Since Oppo hasn’t said a word on the software and hardware configuration of the A53s, it gives enough rope to the rumors. For instance, the phone is expected to feature MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor which happens to the cheapest 5G SoC at present. It could be further equipped with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage.
Moreover, the OPPO A53s could borrow the display, camera, and battery from the standard Oppo A53 launched back in August 2020. That phone has a 6.5-inch HD+ screen, 13MP triple rear camera, 16MP front camera, and 5000mAh battery with fast charge support.

Since there is no further detail to share at the moment, we stop here and leave the door open for more details to come our way.
Lastly, when it comes to pricing, Oppo could price the A53s 5G below Rs. 15,000. If priced thus, it could bring the fight to Realme 8 5G (review) which debuted on April 22 at a starting price of Rs. 14,999.
