Oppo has a new smartphone in the works and Chinese agency – TENAA has revealed the key specs details as well images of the device. Dubbed the Oppo A59m (final name should be Oppo A59); the new phablet-sized device would likely succeed the Oppo A53.
Still running the dated Android 5.1 Lollipop OS out-of-the-box with Oppo’s ColorOS ontop; the Oppo A59m copies the same build as the Oppo R9 and R9 Plus. The new device sports a 5.5-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) HD TFT display and is backed by a 2980mAh battery which should last several hours of usage.
It measures 7.3 mm thick (full dimensions – 154.5 x 76 x 7.3 mm) but is quite heavy at 160 grams. On the inside, it relies on an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 3GB of RAM, 16GB built-in storage space and a microSD card slot for expansion up to 128GB.
In the camera segment, there is a rear facing 13-megapixels camera with LED flash and a front facing 8-megapixels camera for selfies. The Oppo A59m has Dual SIM slots, supports 4G LTE connectivity and the fingerprint sensor appears to have been relocated to the front oval home button.
