A lightweight F7?
Over at China, OPPO launched a new mid-range phone with the A3. While it does look a lot like the F7 because of its 6.23-inch Full HD+ display, the A3 foregoes the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner in exchange for a smooth acrylic back. For the internals, you get the same specs with the F7, which includes an Helio P60 processor, 4GB RAM, and 128GB ROM.
Another key downgrade with the A3 is the front camera: Instead of the F7’s 25-megapixel front camera, you get a regular 8-megapixel snapper. Check out the specs below:
