OPPO K3 Unboxing & Hands-On: An Ideal Choice In The Price Range

Chinese phone maker OPPO launched its OPPO K3 in the international markets at the end of May. Today, we have an opportunity to experience this device to see the highlights of this phone.

General design and accessories

The box of the OPPO K30 is basic in a pure white color with the minimal OPPO K3 line. In addition to the phone, there is a case, an adapter supporting VOOC 3.0 fast charging and USB-C cable in the box.

The version we have on hand is OPPO K3 Morning White. Indeed, this name has partly portrayed the color of this OPPO K3 version, which really made us impressed.

The rear panel has a pure white color and this version is completely suitable for young people.

However, this color variant is easy to get dirty, so to deal with this issue, you can use a plastic case that OPPO has included in the box.

Additionally, the rear panel of the phone only has a dual-camera setup and the line "Designed by OPPO" vertically imprinted along the body with the logo OPPO.

Another plus point about the design is that the front has been mostly occupied by the display with a screen-to-body ratio of 91.1 percent, well thanks to the use of the pop-up selfie camera.

While the upper bezel is very thin, which is only enough to house a small strip of external speakers, the chin of the phone is a bit thick. The OPPO K3 sports a big 6.5-inch AMOLED screen with good color display, bringing the interesting and comfortable feeling for users when gaming or watching movies.

Additionally, the OPPO K3 also features a 6th-gen optical in-display fingerprint sensor. At an affordable price, users cannot require an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor like on the Galaxy S10. However, it's worth noting that the OPPO K3's fingerprint sensor still gives fast and convenient unlocking speed to meet your demand.

The right side of OPPO K3 is a SIM slot and a power button.

Located on the left spine are two volume buttons.

At the bottom of the device are a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an external speaker.

The frame of the body gives a comfortable and strong grip and has a silver-colored finish to enhance the luxurious look.

Hardware configuration

Powered by a Snapdragon 710 SoC, paired with the minimum 6GB RAM, the OPPO K3 doesn't have any difficulty in daily app use and gaming session. Additionally, the combination with the GameBoost 2.0 helps bring the stable and smooth gaming experience to gamers.

In the camera department, OPPO is always well-known for "magic" selfie camera, helping users to have beautiful photos to share on social networks. OPPO K3 is also a case here. It has a 16MP selfie camera with AI support and face unlocking feature.

On the back, there is a dual-camera setup including a 16MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.7 along with a 2MP depth lens, which supports the bokeh effect, and good quality image output in both bright and low-light conditions with little noise.

Powering the OPPO K3 is a 3,765 mAh battery with the VOOC 3.0 fast charging tech to help users fully recharge the battery in a short time.

Conclusion

At the affordable price, the OPPO K3 gives users a lot of valuable features including a beautiful screen, a modern design, a powerful configuration in the price range, a pretty good battery, acceptable camera capabilities, a high-end in-display fingerprint sensor, and fast charging support.

Currently, the OPPO K3 has been available in Amazon.in with the starting price of Rs. 16,990 for the base 6GB RAM + 64GB internal storage variant.
