Oppo went ahead and announced a “new” A-series device in China with the A3i Plus. But new might not be the exact word here as the A3i is identical to the Chinese Oppo A3 which launched back in July of last year.
We went through the entire spec sheet of the new device and found no difference between it and the A3 (China). The A3i Plus even gets the same PKA110 model number.
Just to refresh your memory, Oppo A3/A3i Plus packs a 6.7-inch OLED screen (FHD+120Hz), Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 chipset and a 50MP main cam. Both offer a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W charging and boot ColorOS 14 out of the box.
Pricing is the only parameter where the A3i Plus holds an advantage as the device will launch with a launch price of CNY 1,299 ($178) for the 12/256GB trim. The 12/512GB version is CNY 1,499 ($205).

Oppo A3i Plus goes on open sale in China from Monday, February 17.
