OPPO recently released the newest member of its A series smartphones, the OPPO A60, in South Africa. Housed in a premium and functional design, the OPPO A60 features a 950-nit Ultra-Bright Display and Dual Stereo Speakers for next-level audio-visual experiences in every daily scenario.
With more extensive storage and memory, a longer-lasting 5,000mAh battery with 45W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge, and more, the OPPO A60 offers smooth and stable performance with exceptional efficiency, making it the ultimate summer accessory to get into the #KeDecember spirit!
Trendy, Practical, and Durable Design
In keeping with the iconic thin and lightweight design of the OPPO A series, the ultra-slim OPPO A60 measures just 7.68mm in thickness and weighs less than a can of Pringles at approximately 186g. Thanks to its concise right-angled frame and 2D flat back cover, the phone provides a smooth and comfortable grip for every situation.
 The stunning design of the A60 is further brought to life in two chic colour finishes: Ripple Blue and Midnight Purple. Ripple Blue is crafted with a unique Magnetic Particle Design that embeds the phone with a special texture reminiscent of rolling waves on a blue sea. Midnight Purple offers a contrasting look with its shimmering, ever-changing shade of dark purple.
This design is backed by exceptional reliability and durability. Its IP54 rating ensures protection against everyday splashes, while the use of double tempered glass for the screen improves impact and drop resistance.
Next-level Display
The OPPO A60 features a new ultra-bright, high-refresh-rate screen with a Splash Touch feature. It can display at up to 950 nits peak brightness in sunlight, making it easier to view content on the phone when outdoors, especially under the African summer sun. The 6.67-inch screen also supports a refresh rate of up to 90Hz, enabling users to enjoy smoother viewing experiences at all times.
For the first time on a smartphone in its price range, the OPPO A60 introduces an industry-leading Splash Touch feature to its screen. Using an advanced touch detection algorithm within the touch chip, the A60 improves touch accuracy and responsiveness when the screen is wet, ensuring users can continue to operate the phone as usual when outside in the Spring rain, while cooking a seven-colour dinner or during those sweat-heavy summer hikes.
Enhanced Sound Quality with Dual Stereo Speakers
The OPPO A60 is equipped with Dual Stereo Speakers that deliver fuller and richer sound quality. In noisy environments, the A60’s Ultra Volume Mode allows users to increase the volume of the phone’s loudspeaker by up to 300%, ensuring no ‘groove’ call is missed.
It also doubles the maximum earpiece volume during calls, ensuring conversations can be heard no matter how loud the Amapiano is in the background.
All-round Smoothness with Large Storage and Long-lasting Battery
At the heart of the phone is the 6nm Snapdragon® 680 Mobile Platform, delivering a 10% increase in performance over the previous generation phones while significantly reducing power consumption. With 8GB of RAM and 256GB of ROM storage , the OPPO A60 offers larger memory and storage compared to other major competitors in the same price range.
Using OPPO’s RAM Expansion feature, an additional 8GB of temporary RAM can be converted from unused ROM memory, allowing for even more applications to be kept alive in the background while providing smooth transitions when switching between multiple apps.
The A60 features a large 5,000mAh battery with 45W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge. Capable of charging the battery to 50% in just 30 minutes, this combination ensures longer periods of use with less charging time. The battery has also been built to remain in optimal condition for up to four years of use, meaning users can enjoy their A60 for longer without worrying about replacing the battery. On top of this, the A60’s Smart Charging makes monitoring the battery’s health easier than ever while preventing premature battery ageing by optimising charging according to each user’s individual charging and phone usage habits.
On the software side, ColorOS 14’s Trinity Engine further enhances overall smoothness and stability by improving the scheduling of hardware computing resources through advanced computing power models.
Thanks to these hardware and software upgrades, the OPPO A60 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM model has passed OPPO’s 48-month Fluency Protection test, guaranteeing that the phone will provide long-term smoothness for at least four years of regular use.
Powerful Cameras for Stunning Images
The OPPO A60 also makes it a breeze to capture stunning, high-quality images with its triple camera setup consisting of a 50MP Ultra Clear Camera, a 2MP Portrait Camera, and an 8MP Selfie Camera. With features like Portrait Mode, AI Portrait Retouching, and Dual-view Video, the A60 can capture crystal-clear, natural portraits and eye-catching videos that bring users’ creative visions to life with just a few simple taps.
