The company said at the unveiling of the Oppo A72 that the A-series smartphone range will be the first to launch in the local market, noting the A53s and A15 would follow.
Now, Oppo has announced the A53s and A15 will officially go to market on 7 November, becoming available at local retailers and their online stores.
The Chinese smartphone brand says it’s bringing more of its devices to market so that more South Africans can experience “beautiful” technology.
“In line with the promise of Oppo’s A-series, A53s continues to offer strong technology that introduces a fast and smooth mobile experience for our users,” says Liam Faurie, business head of GTM operations at Oppo South Africa.
