I. Introduction: Thin and Rugged "Three-Proof" Device, Unbeatably Durable

There's a saying in the tech world: high-end devices focus on visuals, while low-end devices focus on integrity. Let's not dwell on who lacks integrity for now, and instead, let's take a look at a very trustworthy smartphone, the OPPO A3 Pro.

Since the launch of the first smiley phone, the A103, in 2008, the OPPO A series has come a long way to the current OPPO A3 Pro, spanning sixteen years and becoming a well-established series in the market. To date, the global sales of this series have surpassed the seven hundred million mark.

Now, OPPO has introduced durable technology in the A3 Pro, making it a top-tier waterproof device with IP69+IP68+IP66 ratings.

Many may not be aware of the differences between these three waterproof standards.

Simply put, in the smartphone industry, the flagship IP68 rating means it's waterproof, IP69 means it can withstand high-pressure hot water, and the relatively less known IP66 is the highest level of dust and water resistance. What's remarkable is that even if it gets wet, OPPO still offers warranty coverage. Can you handle that?

OPPO has crafted a thin and durable war god, ensuring it's not just about being waterproof but also resistant to drops. The A3 Pro debuts with OPPO Crystal Shield glass as the back cover material, which boasts 160% better drop resistance compared to traditional glass and three times stronger scratch resistance than ordinary glass.

On the front, it features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the same as their flagship Find X7 Ultra.

Moreover, to further enhance drop resistance, OPPO A3 Pro utilizes a super tough diamond structure. Inside the phone, various cushioning materials are used to safeguard critical internal components. By optimizing the body gaps, overall tight protection is achieved, as if customizing a sturdy safety airbag for the phone, ensuring comprehensive device safety.

With Crystal Shield at the back, Gorilla Glass at the front, and diamond structure at the edges, the 360° comprehensive drop protection, let's now delve into the detailed performance of the OPPO A3 Pro.

Below are the detailed specifications of the OPPO A3 Pro. S10adf04d-af61-4f95-ad9c-abc0153c4810.jpg
