Parameter comparison between OPPO A3 and OPPO K12

OPPO A3 is OPPO’s recently released thousand-yuan phone. The starting price is only 1,599 yuan, which is still very affordable.Moreover, OPPO A3, like OPPO A3 Pro, features drop resistance and waterproof capabilities, which are unmatched among thousand-yuan phones.Before the release of OPPO A3, the most popular mobile phone among OPPO was undoubtedly OPPO K12. So which one is better, OPPO A3 or OPPO K12?

Which one is better, OPPOA3 or OPPOK12?

The OPPO K12 was released about the same time as the OPPO A3 Pro, about three months earlier than the OPPO A3. The overall price is also about the same as the OPPO A3 Pro, but much more expensive than the OPPO A3.However, OPPO A3 and OPPO K12 focus on different directions. There are no obvious advantages and disadvantages between the two, and users need to make their own choices.

Fall resistance

OPPO A3 adopts an advanced super drop-resistant diamond structure, upgraded design and materials, and uses Crystal Shield glass on the screen surface, which increases drop resistance by 160% and is three times more scratch-resistant than crystallized glass.Moreover, A3 uses diamond-shaped four-corner and anti-collision beam designs to strengthen the four-corner and middle frame structures, combined with new anti-fall materials, to achieve 360° protection without blind spots.

OPPO K12 adopts the exclusive self-developed "super anti-fall diamond structure design". The corners are raised and reinforced, and a "buffer protective layer" is added for key components such as the mobile phone screen, back panel, frame, and motherboard, which greatly reduces falls.The probability of the phone being damaged at any time is reduced, and it has obtained the Swiss SGS Gold Label five-star certification for the complete machine’s resistance to drops and falls.Its fuselage structure can withstand bending of up to 60 kilograms and can still be used normally after bending.

Although the OPPO K12's drop resistance is also good, the OPPO A3 can be said to be the phone with the strongest drop resistance and waterproof capabilities among thousand-yuan phones.

Battery life

OPPO A3 is equipped with an extremely durable large battery and supports 45W super flash charging technology, which can meet all-day needs on a single charge.Even after four years of long-term use, the battery can still remain in good condition and provide a stable and reliable battery life experience.

OPPO K12 has a built-in 5500mAh battery, provides a long-life version of 100W Super VOOC flash charging, and is equipped with a SUPERVOOC S power management chip. It claims to be fully charged in 27 minutes, and the slogan has also changed from "charging for five minutes for 2 hours of talk" in 2014 to today's "charging for five minutes"minutes and 10 hours of talk time.”

OPPO K12 is far better than OPPO A3 in terms of battery capacity and charging speed.

Imaging

OPPO A3 has a rear dual-camera module. The main camera uses a 50-megapixel Samsung S5KJNSSQ33-FGX9 sensor with a 1/2.76-inch photosensitive area, 0.64μm single pixel, and an aperture of f/1.85.The other lens is a 2-megapixel blur lens, using an OV02B1B sensor with a 1/5" photosensitive area, 1.75um single pixel, and f/2.4 aperture.

OPPO K12 uses a 16MP Samsung S5K3P9 sensor on the front and a 50MP main camera on the rear (Sony IMX882, 1/1.95", OIS) + 8MP ultra-wide angle (Sony IMX355).

Although the main cameras of both are 50 million pixels, the camera quality of OPPO K12 is much better, and the overall shooting quality is better.

Performance aspects

OPPO A3 is equipped with the Snapdragon 695 mobile platform, which uses a 6nm process technology and consists of two high-performance Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.2GHz + six high-performance Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz to form an eight-core processor.

OPPO K12 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen3, LPDDR4X memory, UFS 3.1 flash memory, adopts 4129mm² VC liquid cooling design, uses 360-degree surround antenna and game-specific antenna, and also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC independent antenna, and also supports 5G fastSearch technology.

There is still a big gap in performance between the two, and OPPO K12 is much better.

Parameter comparison between OPPO A3 and OPPO K12

OPPO K12 is much better than OPPO A3 in terms of screen, image, performance and charging life. However, OPPO A3 is better in waterproofing and drop resistance, and the price is cheaper. You can choose it according to your own needs.Purchase based on your needs.
