Oppo recently launched a budget smartphone named the A1k in Russia. The device sports a 6.1-inch HD+ display with a screen-to-body ratio of 87.43% and is powered by a MediaTek Helio P22 SoC. It runs on the latest version of Android Pie with Oppo`s own ColorOS 6.0 skin on top of it. The camera unit is an 8MP shooter with LED flash and a 5MP camera unit on the front. It has a dedicated dual SIM and microSD card slots with a 4000mAh battery pack that supports fast charging.
Following the launch in Russia, Oppo has reportedly started selling the smartphone through offline stores in India for a price of Rs.8490 with no online availability in sight. The smartphone is deemed to be released sometime next month and would nicely sit in the entry-level smartphone segment giving some tough competition to the likes of Redmi 7 which was later released this week.
