Oppo A55 with 50-megapixel cameras launched, to go on sale with flat Rs 3,000 off on Amazon

Oppo A55 is the latest budget phone to have been launched in India. The latest A55 comes with a big display with a punch-hole design, a 50-megapixel camera on the back, and a MediaTek processor. Oppo’s A-series recently introduced 5G phones to the budget and mid-range segments. However, the latest A55 is not one of them. Oppo’s new smartphone will go on sale during the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale, which means there are many offers on the table for you.

The latest A55 borrows its design from the Reno series. You have a rainbow effect on one of the smartphone variants. However, the back panel of the A55 does not use the Reno Glow technology that you find on the Reno-series phones. Considering the price of the phone, it is not a big turn-off.
