Oppo A54 5G surfaces in Japan, will be released in June

Posted: 24 Feb 2021 05:44 PM PST

Oppo's quest to launch as many affordable 5G phones as possible is still ongoing, and the latest device that has that honor is the A54 5G. This model has been listed by Japanese carrier au, and we have to say it looks a lot like the already announced Oppo A93 5G. The key difference we see between these two is the fact that while the A93 5G has a triple rear camera system, the A54 5G goes with a quad setup, although it's housed in a very similar looking camera island. The Oppo A54 5G has a 48 MP main sensor, a couple of 2 MP snappers (we assume one is macro one is a depth sensor), as...
