If that's the case, the A71 (2018) will be the most affordable smartphone with the above-mentioned chipset.

In comparison, the old OPPO A71 with the ageing MT6750 octa-core processor is priced higher at PHP 8,990 when it was announced last year.

The only downside we can see is its low 2GB RAM. But, most likely the inclusion of the speedy Snapdragon 450 will make up for its lack of at least 3GB RAM.

In addition, this will be OPPO's most affordable model with the A.I. Beauty Recognition Technology which will help the users take natural looking beautified selfies.

The OPPO A71 (2018) will be available starting March 10, 2018 nationwide.
