OPPO has announced the launch of the OPPO A60 in Kenya, expanding its range of A series smartphones. The device is competitively priced at KES 29,999 and caters to those who value both aesthetic appeal and robust functionality. Available in Ripple Blue and Midnight Purple, the A60 offers a package that balances high performance, durability, and design.
Design and Durability
The OPPO A60 continues the tradition of OPPO’s A series with its slim profile, measuring just 7.68mm in thickness and weighing about 186 grams. The phone sports a double-circle camera setup on an oval panel, contributing to its sleek design. In terms of durability, the A60 has an IP54 rating, making it resistant to splashes and dust. This feature is complemented by double tempered glass that enhances the phone’s resistance to drops and impacts, making it a reliable companion for everyday usage.
Display and Audio Features
One of the standout features of the A60 is its 950-nit Ultra Bright Display, which ensures visibility in various lighting conditions, particularly outdoors. Additionally, for the first time in its price range, the phone introduces a Splash Touch feature that enhances touch sensitivity and accuracy when the screen is wet. This feature is particularly useful for users in damp environments or during activities that involve water, such as cooking or exercising.
The audio experience on the A60 is powered by Dual Stereo Speakers, which provide a fuller and richer sound. The speakers are designed to perform well even in noisy environments with an Ultra Volume Mode that can amplify the speaker volume by up to 300%. This is a practical feature for users who need clear sound in busy streets or crowded places.
OPPO A60 Performance
At the core of the OPPO A60 is the 6nm Snapdragon® 680 Mobile Platform, which offers a 10% improvement in performance over its predecessors, while also being more energy-efficient. The device comes with 8GB of RAM, which can be expanded to 16GB using OPPO’s RAM Expansion technology. This allows more applications to run simultaneously without affecting the phone’s speed and responsiveness. Storage is also generous, with 256GB of ROM, catering to users who need ample space for apps, photos, videos, and other data.
Battery and Charging
Battery performance is another strong suit of the A60, featuring a 5,000mAh battery capable of lasting through a day of intensive use. It supports 45W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge technology, which can charge the battery to 50% in just about 30 minutes.
This feature is ideal for users with busy lifestyles who have limited time to recharge their devices. Additionally, the battery is designed to maintain optimal performance for up to four years, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Cameras
The OPPO A60 is equipped with a triple camera system, which includes a 50MP Ultra Clear Camera, a 2MP Portrait Camera, and an 8MP Selfie Camera. This setup allows for versatile photography, from high-resolution portraits to vibrant selfies. Features such as AI Portrait Retouching and Dual-view Video enhance the photography experience, enabling users to capture professional-quality photos and videos.
Running on ColorOS 14, the A60 offers a user-friendly interface with enhancements in scheduling hardware resources, which boosts overall system smoothness and stability. Furthermore, OPPO guarantees that the A60 will maintain its performance with their 48-Month Fluency Protection, promising longevity in terms of smooth and stable operation.
Conclusion
With its blend of robust features, the OPPO A60 is set to make a significant impact on the Kenyan smartphone market. Its combination of advanced specifications, durable design, and competitive pricing makes it an attractive option for a wide range of consumers looking for a reliable and high-performing smartphone.
