With durability as one of the current trends in smartphones nowadays, leading players are coming up with tough-to-break devices that don't break the bank. The OPPO's A3 is the newest challenger in this field.
Designed to be resilient in all of its angles and corners, the OPPO A3 highlights durability on top of its features intended for photography and productivity. Here are some of its functions that make it a value-for-money device.
Hard on the outside
Check the OPPO A3 website and the first feature that will catch your eyes in big, bold letters is "military-grade shock resistance." According to OPPO, the OPPO A3 received a 5-star drop resistance rating from SGS, a world-leading certification body.
The device is also awarded with an MIL-STD-810H certification. This means that the OPPO A3 went through rigorous testing against environmental conditions like extreme temperature, moisture, dust, drops, and shocks.
OPPO claims that the OPPO A3 has a 36-month fluency, which means that it can deliver a performance as if it's a brand-new device even after three years of continuous use.
Another highlight feature of the OPPO A3 is its Multiple Liquid Resistance which protects the device not only from accidental splashes but from unintentional downpours.

Even its display is made to work while drenched with droplets. The Splash Touch function on the OPPO A3 allows its screen to stay responsive, a feature that's lacking from other smartphones with lower splash-resistance ratings.
Powerful on the inside
Durability is also the name of the game for the chipset that powers the OPPO A3. Running on a Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen1 mobile platform, the device won't budge even with multiple apps simultaneously running in the background.
OPPO A3's performance is further enhanced with the brand's proprietary Trinity Engine, a new feature unveiled with the ColorOS 14, that optimizes the smartphone's storage, RAM, and CPU.
One function of the Trinity Engine is keeping popular apps like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Gmail to stay active for up to 72 hours so that when you'll need to scroll through any of them again, it will launch instantly.
Even the OPPO A3's battery is made to last. Apart from its capability to go from zero to 50% within just 30 minutes of plugged time, its 5,100mAh juice can maintain a minimum average of 80% capacity even with four years of usage.
Maximized multimedia
What's an OPPO smartphone without being camera-centric? The OPPO A3 joins the ranks of budget-friendly devices with a 50-megapixel main camera. For selfies, the smartphone utilizes a 5-megapixel lens with AI Portrait Retouching.
Another multimedia feature on the OPPO A3 is its Ultra Volume Mode which stretches the audio on the device to 300% for videos, ringtones, notifications, and alarms.
Bright and beautiful
The 6.67-inch screen of the OPPO A3 in HD+ (1604 x 720) resolution maintains its vibrant display even when used outdoors and under direct sunlight, thanks to its 1000nit Ultra Bright Display feature. Plus, its 90Hz refresh rate makes scrolling as easy as a breeze.
Cover glasses for the OPPO A3 include a twice-reinforced China Southern Glass and Panda, reducing the chances of screen shattering from accidental drops and slips.
Its color-rich screen complements its overall body, dressed with shimmer in Starry Purple and Sparkle Black colorways.
Pricing and availability
OPPO's latest entry-level offering is available through the brand's official stores on Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok. The OPPO A3 is priced at 8,999.
