Qualcomm said that of "new year, new processor" thus beginning to complete its catalog for the mid-range after announcing the Snapdragon 888 for the flagships. He did it with the Snapdragon 480 , with which they intend to further democratize 5G and one of the first mobiles to carry it is the new OPPO A93 5G .
Complying with trends
The OPPO A93 5G complies with the aesthetic trends that still persist in the beginning of 2021: at least one variant with gradients (the color "Aurora"), a module in the shape of a domino at one corner and the hole in the front for the screen , with a thickened bottom edge on that side. The fingerprint reader fits on the side , thus leaving a clear back in the absence of integrating it into the screen.
One of the reasons for not doing so is to have used an IPS type panel, specifically a 6.5-inch LCD with FullHD + resolution, a 20: 9 aspect ratio and a density of 405 pixels per inch. Of course, supporting 90 Hz refresh rate and, according to the brand, covering 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and with 90% use of the front by the screen.
A brand new processor and 5,000 mAh
As we said in the introduction, this new OPPO has the Snapdragon 480 5G processor with 8 GB of RAM, with a storage option of 128 and 256 GB (expandable with a microSD card). Although it does not seem like a particularly bulky mobile, the OPPO A93 5G has space to house a 5,000 mAh battery , having 18 W fast charging.
The A93 5G comes with Android 11 dressed in its own ColorOS layer in its version 11.1. Well provided with ports and connections, taking into account that it is dual SIM, that it has Bluetooth 5.1 and that it has a 3.5 mm minijack , although yes, at least in its version for China there is no trace of NFC.
Little surprise in the cameras section, seeing that it is a rather basic mobile within the minimum expected in a mid-range. It has a triple rear camera with a combination that will not cost you to guess, forming part of those that are usually used almost more for filling three or four cameras in the back than for versatility:
- Main: 48 megapixel sensor with lens with aperture f / 1.7.
- Portraits: 2 megapixel sensor with f / 2.4 aperture lens
- Macro: 2 megapixel sensor with f / 2.4 aperture lens.
- Front camera: 8 megapixel sensor with lens with f / 2.0 aperture
