Barely three months after the launch of Oppo's mid-range smartphone, the Oppo A16 in India, the company has now announced a new variant in the same rage. The Oppo A6k features a water-drop notch display and a single rear camera. 

The device was launched in the Philippines today and since the Oppo A15k was made available in India, we believe its successor too should arrive on our shores in a short time. In the past year, Oppo also launched the Oppo A15s was announced back in December with massive 5000mAh battery for Rs 11,490 and followed it up with a new variant with 128GB of storage while retaining the same 4GB RAM.
