New OPPO A55, great battery and 5G for the economic segment of the market

We welcome a new economic middle line direct from OPPO factories in China and succeeding last OPPO A53, although its name is not correlative. We say it because the launch is the new OPPO A55, a mobile phone that seeks to position itself in the price range of 200 euros in the market, at least with its current price in China.

OPPO’s new phone bets on 5G and on an increase in battery, reaching up to 5,000 mAh with 10W load, to become a competitive model although at the moment of truth it is even less powerful than its predecessor. A strange tactic from the manufacturer that today releases a new phone in its country, with a good chance of becoming an international model.
