OPPO has launched its newest entry-level smartphones, the OPPO A12 and A12e, in the country.
The more affordable A12e packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, dual rear cameras, and a 4230mAh battery capacity. Hardware is almost identical to last year’s OPPO A5s down to the brand’s old logo, and the notch even got bigger as it looks very similar to 2018’s OPPO A3s.
