Oppo is working on a new ‘A’ series smartphone, which happens to have been spotted on Chinese agency listing, TENAA along with its images. The Oppo A59s is expected to bring upgrades over the standard A59 version; however, the iPhone-looking body design and make-up remains the same.
The Oppo A59s specs start off with the same 5.5-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) HD IPS display with 2.5D glass design and powered by an octa-core Mediatek MT6750 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with ARM Mali-T860 GPU. The RAM has been increased from 3GB to 4GB, however the 32GB built-in storage space stays intact.
Internal storage is expandable up to additional 128GB more space via microSD and the listing shows the now dated Android 5.1 Lollipop OS (likely ColorOS 3.0 based) in the mix. In the camera segment, there is a rear facing 13MP camera and the front selfie camera seems to have been doubled to 16MP.
The Oppo A59s measures 154.5 × 76 × 7.3mm in dimensions, weighs in at 160 grams and is backed by a 2980mAh battery, about 95mAh smaller than that of its potential predecessor. It has Dual SIM slots (Hybrid), home button based fingerprint sensor and support major 4G LTE networks in China.
