Oppo has officially introduced a new contender in India's competitive budget smartphone segment. The Chinese electronics giant launched the Oppo A6x 5G, a device designed to bring 5G connectivity and capable performance to a wider audience at an accessible price point.
Oppo A6x 5G: Pricing and Availability
The Oppo A6x 5G has been launched with an aggressive starting price. The base variant with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage is priced at Rs 12,499. For users needing more memory, the higher-end model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage comes in at Rs 13,999. The smartphone is available in two color options: Starry Purple and Midnight Black. Sales are expected to begin soon through Oppo's official online store and major retail partners across the country.
Key Specifications and Features
At the heart of the Oppo A6x 5G is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. This octa-core processor is built on a 6nm process and is known for delivering efficient performance and reliable 5G connectivity, making it a popular choice for budget-friendly 5G devices.
The phone sports a 6.56-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, promising smoother scrolling and a more responsive touch experience. For photography enthusiasts, the device features a dual-camera setup on the rear, headlined by a 50-megapixel primary sensor accompanied by a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.
Powering the entire package is a substantial 5000mAh battery, which should easily provide a full day of use on a single charge. The device supports 18W fast charging to quickly top up the battery. On the software front, it runs on Android 14 with Oppo's ColorOS skin layered on top.
Positioning in the Market and Final Thoughts
The launch of the Oppo A6x 5G directly targets the value-conscious consumer looking to step into the 5G ecosystem without breaking the bank. By offering features like a high-refresh-rate display, a capable 50MP camera, and a large battery at a starting price of Rs 12,499, Oppo is intensifying the competition in the sub-15,000 rupee segment.
This segment is already crowded with offerings from brands like Realme, Xiaomi, and Samsung. The success of the A6x 5G will hinge on its real-world performance, software optimization, and the overall user experience it delivers. For now, Oppo has made a strong statement on paper, providing a feature-rich 5G option that could appeal to first-time 5G users and those seeking a reliable secondary device.
