The Oppo A6 smartphone family has expanded with three new models: the Oppo A6t, the Oppo A6t 5G, and the Oppo A6t Pro. They're all quite similar, though certainly not identical.
Oppo A6t Pro is a strange creation. Although it has "Pro" in its name, it's an LTE smartphone powered by a Snapdragon 685 processor, LPDDR4X memory, and UFS 2.2 storage, and equipped with a 6.75-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution. As a consolation and a testament to its name, the screen has a 120 Hz refresh rate and a good 1125 nits of brightness for an LCD. The IP69 rating also looks good, as does the 7000 mAh battery with 45-watt charging. The cameras, however, are once again quite basic: 8 megapixels on the front (f/2.0), and 50+2 megapixels (f/1.8+f/2.4) on the rear. The smartphone is available in two colors and a single 8+128 GB memory kit.

To make matters more interesting, the basic Oppo A6t model is very similar to the Pro, and is also virtually identical to the already known Oppo A6x. The screen, processor, and memory are identical to those in the Oppo A6t Pro – only the battery and cameras are smaller. The battery has a capacity of 6500 mAh, while the main camera has a 13-megapixel sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and a secondary QVGA sensor. The front camera is 5-megapixel, also with an f/2.2 aperture. This model, however, comes in different colors and three memory configurations: 4+64, 4+128, and 6+128 GB.

Oppo A6t 5G is a clone of Oppo A6x 5G, but it still bears some resemblance to Oppo A6t. Again, we have the same average screen, 6500 mAh battery, and 5-megapixel selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture. The rear cameras, however, are the same as in the Pro version, i.e., 50+2 megapixels. The 5G version differs from the other models with the letter "t" in that it has a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, although the memory remains LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2. Of the three new models, this one has the most memory options: 4+128, 4+256, 6+128, 6+256, and 8+256 GB.

Oppo hasn't yet announced pricing, but the models described will certainly only be available in some markets, and in others they will be replaced by the A6x versions. However, we don't yet know what distribution policy Oppo will adopt. We do know, however, that such model cloning isn't the best solution...
