OPPO Neo 3 Specs Review - The War Against Xiaomi, Moto E & Asus Zenfone

OPPO Mobile India is here with the new iteration of their old smartphone by launching the OPPO Neo 3, a Dual SIM Android phone that's priced at Rs. 10,990. The Indian mobile phone consumer market is currently abuzz with phones from companies such as Xiaomi, ASUS and Zenfone, with their latest cheaply priced smartphones selling like hot cakes on e-commerce portals. It is quite interesting to see that the OPPO Neo 3 smartphone offers almost the same specs and features as the Moto E or Asus Zenfone 4 or Xiaomi Redmi 1S, but at a much higher price. Let us review the specifications list accompanying the newest competitor from OPPO to find out more.

Running on Android Jelly Bean with ColorOS, the OPPO Neo 3 features a 4.5 inch FWVGA screen with 480 x 854 pixel resolution display. Powered by a 1.3 GHz Dual Core processor, the smartphone packs inside it 1GB RAM and 4GB internal memory which is expandable up to 32GB via microSD card support. On the rear end is a 5 megapixel camera with flash (which happens to be the only upgrade over the older OPPO Neo) and on the front side, there's a 2 megapixel snapper for taking selfies and making video calls. A 1900 mAh battery provides the phone with power and features such as - 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS/AGPS caters for the user's connectivity needs. At just 9.2 mm, the phone looks as thin as some of its competitors and weighs about 130 g.

The phone has already begun sales through retail stores as well as e-commerce sites like Flipkart and the OPPO Neo 3 bears the model number R831K. OPPO's high end devices such as Find 7 OR OPPO N1 (the one with rotating camera) have received some good reviews from customers, but that does not seem to be the case with its so-called low-end phone options. To gain a strong foothold in the Indian budget phone market, the company needs to really up their game. Do let us know what are your thoughts on that in comments.
