The leader in waterproof and drop-resistant! Hands-on review of OPPO A3 Vitality Edition

Smartphones are an indispensable electronic product nowadays. Basically, we can see that everyone is inseparable from their phones. However, it is inevitable that our hands slip, so most of the time, the screens of our phones are cracked or the bodies are broken.

Although mobile phone functions are becoming increasingly powerful, the “fragile” setting really makes people stay away from them. Considering the daily needs of users for anti-fall and life-level waterproof, OPPO has launched a new member of the A3 series – OPPO A3 Vitality Edition, proving itself as the “leader” in the waterproof and anti-fall field.

The OPPO A3 Vitality Edition adopts the design concept of natural aesthetics and is available in three color options: Purple Crescent, Bamboo Forest Green and Fog Sea Black.

The purple crescent color scheme on Tianji.com’s hands uses a gradient smart particle design to outline a crescent moon on the back cover. The magnetic particle design process is combined with the gradient color design. The smart and shining tiny particles are scattered on the back cover of the phone, presenting a shining and romantic gradient purple as a whole.

The four corners and the middle frame of a mobile phone are the most vulnerable parts, so the OPPO A3 Vitality Edition adopts the diamond four corners and anti-collision beam design. 
By heightening, widening and reinforcing the structural design of the front, back and middle frame of the product, the OPPO A3 Vitality Edition can effectively disperse the impact force when it falls and protect the internal structure from damage.

At the same time, the “airbag” can also provide cushioning when falling. OPPO has added a large amount of foam, silicone pads and other cushioning materials between the camera, motor, speaker, battery and other key components inside the phone, tightly surrounding every key component inside the phone. The back cover and the entire machine are also filled with foam glue to further optimize the gap between the entire machine and ensure that the phone can be effectively protected when it is impacted.

If you are still worried that your phone will be broken, the OPPO A3 Vitality Edition also provides a customized diamond-resistant drop protective case with elevated airbag design on the four corners to increase cushioning, providing double insurance for your phone.

It is this design that allows the OPPO A3 Vitality Edition to directly pass the Swiss SGS five-star whole machine drop and fall resistance certification, making it the veritable king of durability and drop resistance.

Simulate situations that occur in daily life scenarios

If drop resistance is the hard strength of the OPPO A3 Vitality Edition, then waterproofness is its soft strength that cannot be ignored. Slipping is a common occurrence in life, and it is not uncommon for a phone to fall into water without paying attention.

OPPO A3 Vitality Edition has built an “all-round waterproof dam” through a number of measures, and has included the display screen, decorative parts, battery back cover, side openings (USB hole, button hole, MIC hole, card holder hole, speaker hole) and other parts that may get wet into the protection range, making OPPO A3 Vitality Edition easily waterproof and dustproof under normal use.

More importantly, Crystal Shield Glass has a 160% higher drop resistance than ordinary glass, and its scratch resistance is 3 times higher than that of microcrystalline glass.

The design of the curved middle frame also gives the phone a golden streamlined curvature, achieving a smoother and more fitted rounded corner design while providing a better feel. The ultra-narrow edge straight screen design not only effectively prevents accidental touches, but also enhances its anti-drop performance.

In terms of imaging, the OPPO A3 Vitality Edition has an 8-megapixel front camera that supports AI color beauty function. The rear camera is equipped with a 50-megapixel ultra-clear main camera and a 2-megapixel portrait lens, forming a powerful dual-camera combination.

In terms of night scenes, the combination of high sensitivity and noise reduction technology effectively reduces noise, improves the purity and brightness of the picture, and makes night scene photos clearer and brighter.
