OPPO has just expanded its mid-range portfolio with the release of the OPPO K3 following a couple of leaks and teasers from the past weeks. The design looks somewhat similar to the recently launched OPPO Reno series, but come at a more affordable price tag.
Coated with Nebula Purple, Green and White colors, the OPPO K3 features a 3D curved glass body with a metal mid-frame, and on the front, the device gets a Samsung AMOLED display which the maker claims has been certified by Germany’s TUV Rheinland for eye protection. The display is actually a 6.5-inch FHD+ display with 1080×2340 pixels resolutions With 91.1% screen-to-body ratio, and a DC dimming feature.
The most obvious selling point of the device is its pop-up selfie camera module that is fitted with a 16-megapixel sensor, as well as the pop-up camera module which OPPO claims has a life of five years and could pop out in a matter of 0.74 seconds.On the flip side, the K3 gets a twin camera setup with a 16-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary, depth sensor.
