OPPO has released some interesting devices in the past like the OPPO R5, which was once the thinnest smartphones in the world measuring less than 5mm. Then there was the OPPO N3 with an automatic motorized rotating camera. Now, the Chinese manufacturer has announced another smartphone in the market called the OPPO 3000. OPPO didn't release this new smartphone with much fanfare probably because of its mid-range tech specs. The phone features a modest 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage and support for up to 128GB microSD cards. The OPPO 3000 sports a 4.7-inch 720p display, 8MP Sony IMX179 camera sensor at the back and a 5MP selfie shooter up front. The overall measurements of the phone come to 137 x 68.8 x 8.95mm. At the back, there will be a 2000 mAh battery to power the above specs. The battery will use the VOOC fast charging technology to speed up charging time. The phone supports dual SIM dual standby and is compatible with 4G LTE networks, specifically China Unicom's LTE network. OPPO has priced the device at $256 (RM922). No details about Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet but stay tuned and we'll let you know as soon as we find out. 

The 4G LTE revolution continues as OPPO has officially announced the OPPO R3, a midrange smartphone featuring 4G LTE connectivity and a 6.3mm thin body. As such OPPO are saying it is the world's thinnest LTE smartphone (for now) but the current version only supports LTE bands in China. Other tech specs include a 1.6GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, 5-inch IPS display with 720p pixel resolution, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, a 2420 mAh battery and Android 4.3 with OPPO ColorOS. Measurements for the OPPO R3 include 142.3 x 70.4 x 6.3mm and 140g. Since it is set for China, it is priced at 2290CNY (RM1182) which is a bit high considering the new range of below RM1000 4G LTE smartphones coming soon to Malaysia. Hopefully, OPPO Malaysia can get the price right if or when it does come here in Malaysia.
