On the Internet, we may hear more netizens discussing the performance of the mobile phone, the screen or other configurations, as if these are the only reference information for everyone's purchase, but in fact, if we come to the offline market, we will find that everyone is more concerned about the "is this mobile phone durable" This more mysterious and vague question.
So, how can we make the phone more "durable"? OPPO has brought their new answer to this question: the OPPO A3 Pro. And our test today is also different from the past, and will focus more on the performance of "durability", let's see if it is really so durable.
Inside-out durability upgrades
Although we announced the Oppo A3 Pro's image before the launch event, there was still some information about its appearance that was not released at the time. For example, the thin and light design of the fuselage, the Yunjin powder in our hands is a version made of plain leather, its thickness has come to 7.89mm, and the weight is only 177g.
OPPO A3 ProThis curved screen also feels familiar in terms of configuration,It has1080P level resolution,The highest refresh rate can reach120Hz,Basically, it is a continuation of the curved screen of the previous generation,But the five new eye protection technologies,And passed the National Eye Center eye health and safety evaluation system test,The performance of eye protection is more reassuring。 At the same time, in terms of the screen cover, it has also been upgraded, replaced by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, compared to the previous generation, the ability to resist drops by 180%, and the scratch resistance has also been significantly improved, which is already a flagship level.
What's more critical is the ultra-fall-resistant diamond architecture inside. In fact, the previous generation of OPPO A2 Pro has been equipped with a diamond anti-drop structure, the four corners of the mobile phone have been strengthened, and the internal exposed components are fully sealed, and some cushioning materials have been added to the key parts.
The protection specification of the full keyboard value
With the hardware mentioned earlier, the Oppo A3 Pro has a more theoretical upper limit when it comes to design. For example, in terms of body sealing, it is certified for IP66, IP68 and IP69. In fact, all three ratings need to be discussed in two parts, the first digit after the IP represents its dust resistance, the highest rating is currently 6, which means that it is "completely protected against foreign objects and dust ingress", the second digit represents water resistance, and 6, 8 and 9 represent the ability to resist water spray, water immersion and high-pressure water spray, respectively.
OPPO A3 Pro has also been officially tested for its ability to resist drops, and has also been certified by the Swiss SGS Gold Standard Five-Star Machine for its ability to resist drops, and its ability to resist drops has also been recognized by authoritative organizations. Secondly, the durability of internal structures such as the charging port and buttons, as well as the battery, has also been rigorously tested by OPPO, and the theoretical durability has also been greatly improved.
It is on the basis of this test that the OPPO A3 Pro can reach the top level in the industry in terms of after-sales maintenance specifications. They have brought a new supreme warranty service, including a one-year warranty for broken screens, a one-year warranty for water ingress and a four-year warranty for batteries.
The specifications of this warranty are quite exaggerated, which is equivalent to converting the broken screen insurance and battery insurance into the price, and additionally adds a post-water warranty that was rare in the industry before, which not only expresses OPPO's sincerity to consumers, but also shows their confidence in the quality of their products.
Of course, we still need to emphasize that the benefits of Supreme Guarantee need to be enjoyed by the first to purchase this new device during the event period from April 12th to 25th, and if you are looking for a more complete experience, it is obviously the best choice to start this new phone.
Actual combat test, see the real chapter
With so much foreshadowing, how can we not put it into practice? This time we have also carried out a rare comprehensive test of the durability of this model. The first thing to come out of is the waterproof test, first of all, a relatively simple flushing test, we took it directly under the faucet, and after a rinse with the screen on, it withstood the test as a matter of course, and there was no accident.
We also prepared a fish tank, and after filling it with water, we put the OPPO A3 Pro in it and check the situation every ten minutes. The Oppo A3 Pro is certainly not in a position to be tested in this low-intensity test, and after half an hour, it is clear that nothing has been done, and the charging port, microphone, and speakers have not been compromised in any way.
Let's take a look at the drop test. We also used three common drop heights to test the phone, which was to release the phone from the pocket, tabletop and top of the head, and after a free fall to the tile floor, there was no damage from the back cover to the screen, which is still very reliable.
Finally, there is the "heavyweight" crushing test. After the car was run over, the OPPO A3 Pro also maintained the indestructible body of King Kong, with the front and back intact.
Of course, it also needs to be emphasized here that although the OPPO A3 Pro is a durable enough phone, its body is still a smartphone, not a pressure relief tool.
It is also "durable" for everyday use
Finally, let's take a look at some general project testing. The OPPO A3 Pro's comprehensive configuration is actually very good, it is equipped with a Dimensity 7050 mobile chip, with a 5000mAh battery and 67W fast charging, combined with the curved screen in front, the actual use experience is not bad.
We also measured its battery life, and we can see that this 5000mAh large battery can still give full play to its battery life advantages, and it can cope with low-intensity Weibo browsing and online video playback scenarios. Limited by the platform, its frame rate in this game can only reach 60 frames, so the overall power consumption is not high, under such a premise, its final game battery life is not bad, and the overall is decent.
As for the software system, the OPPO A3 Pro is also equipped with its own ColorOS 14.0 system, equipped with new storage technology, which can achieve a smooth escort experience for 48 months.
summary
In terms of durability, the OPPO A-series has played a big game of chess over the years. Back in the previous era of the A-series, products such as the OPPO A97 already offered larger capacity options such as 256GB in the entry-level price segment, allowing users to use it for longer periods of time without worry.
In the new era after the A1 series, the OPPO A series has been continuously upgraded in terms of durability, such as ColorOS for 48 months of smooth escort, such as 5A diamond quality for full-link quality control from pre-sales to after-sales, such as diamond anti-drop structure, etc. Now, these quality requirements have become more stringent, and the result is the more durable OPPO A3 Pro in front of us.
Indeed, it is not so beautiful in terms of parameters, from performance to screen to battery life, its performance can be said to be mediocre and conventional, and the improvement compared to the previous generation is also relatively limited.
But when consumers ask if the phone is durable, the OPPO A3 Pro can pat its chest and proudly reply: "It's durable, it's easy to use." ”
