Following the tradition, Oppo launched the Oppo A3 Pro 5G in China, and rumors suggested that the vanilla variant will soon follow suit. It looks like we will probably see the vanilla variant come to life next month in China, as we have spotted it on the China Telecom Authority. This listing not only revealed the specs but also shows the release date, which I will share below.
Oppo A3 5G specs revealed via China Telecom
The device is listed with the model number “PKA110,” and the certification reveals the moniker to be Oppo A3 5G. Earlier, the same model number was listed on TENAA and was speculated to be a flat display variant of the A3 Pro. However, China Telecom has now cleared the air of doubts.
The listing shows it will be powered by a chipset with the model number “SM6375,” which is none other than the Snapdragon 695 SoC. It appears Oppo still has some stock left of the SD695 and intends to use it until the end. Just today, it launched the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite in India and global markets with the same chipset.
Coming back to the A3 5G, the base frequency is clocked at 2.2 GHz, and it will run on Android 14 OS out of the box with ColorOS 14 on top.
Oppo A3 5G will feature a 6.7″ flat display with a screen resolution of 2412*1080 and a size of 162.54×75.44×7.15 mm, weighing about 179.05 grams.
The design is quite similar to the Pro variant, with a circular camera module housing a dual camera setup and an LED flash. However, instead of a leather finish, it will have an all-plastic build, according to the listing on China Telecom. Additionally, at the bottom, you can see the USB Type-C socket, along with the SIM card tray and speaker output cutouts.
The rear camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor, while the front camera has an 8MP sensor in a punch-hole layout. The battery size is revealed to be 5,000 mAh.
The Oppo A3 5G will offer dual-SIM support, GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, and USB 2.0, but unfortunately, no NFC. Other features include a direction sensor, light sensor, gravity sensor, altitude sensor, distance sensor, and a fingerprint sensor, though it is not specified whether the fingerprint sensor is in-display or side-mounted.

Oppo is set to launch this smartphone in three variants: 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and the top variant offering 12GB + 512GB.
