Infinix Hot S3 advantages - Rear camera with larger aperture size, 20MP selfie cam with dual LED flash, fingerprint scanner, cheaper price

OPPO A83 advantages - Speedier processor, face unlock, better actual camera performance

Surprisingly, the Infinix Hot S3 has some advantages on paper compared to the OPPO A83. It has the "brighter" main camera, bigger selfie camera pixel size, larger 4,000mAh battery, and newer Oreo based OS out of the box for less. If you can't go for the pricier A83, the Hot S3 is a good alternative.

However, if you have PHP 2K more in your wallet, go for the OPPO A83. Why? It is simply the speedier phone! The Helio P23 chip it has is so fast and capable for the price. Its camera performance is also better than the Hot S3 in actual usage.
