OPPO A53 is a very promising smartphone for potential smartphone buyers but things like weak processor, low-resolution screen, etc. will be affecting both the sales and the performance of this device. But all things considered, this is a viable option for anyone looking to buy a mid-range smartphone with some impressive specs.
