Verdict
The device arrives with some interesting specs but to be honest I am disappointed with it. Oppo A53 comes with an average camera features, it comes with a triple camera setup compared to quad rear cameras of its predecessor. It loses out the ultra-wide sensor. The budget smartphone mainly struggles in the processor department, it comes with the weaker Snapdragon 460 chipset.
The brand should have provided a faster processor to the phone, which would give better value for the money. Smartphone users consume a lot of content on their phones and want a big battery. But if you want a smartphone with good performance for gaming and for photography, it is not for you. You can opt for Redmi Note 9 that comes at a similar price range. If you want the best smartphone at a lower price have a look at the best smartphones under 10K.
