As opposed to the well-prepared launch of the Reno4 Z 5G, OPPO A53 — the company’s cheap 90Hz phone — has been spotted online (with no official word or whatsoever from the company) with a suggested retail price of Php8,990. In fact, the folks over at Revu first reported that the phone is available from Globe Telecom via ThePlan 799, with no cashout needed.
We have to take note that other retailers are selling the A53 for Php8,990, not OPPO themselves. We have yet to receive official word from the company regarding this device.
On the other hand, you can purchase an A53 via Globe Telecom, which gets you a FREE Hikvision 64GB microSD card. The promo is only available until November 14.Â
There’s no cashout needed for ThePlan 799, but you have to sign a 24-month contract period with the carrier. The plan includes the following:
- 3GB DATA
- Unli all-net text and unli calls to Globe/TM
- 50 mins all-net calls
- Free Facebook 1GB per month for 24 months
- Free Shipping
As for the specs of OPPO A53, it has a large 6.5″ HD+ IPS LCD screen along with a fast 90Hz refresh rate. There are two configurations available on the global market, but the local variant comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The device comes in Fairy White, Electric Black, and Fancy Blue colors.
