The smartphone has a 13-megapixel camera sensor on the back with an LED flash and an 8-megapixel front camera sensor. The rear camera sensor also supports Ultra-HD mode that can create an image of 50-megapixel resolution. Similarly, the front camera sensor enables face unlocking, just as what is available on various existing Oppo and Vivo models.

In terms of connectivity, the Oppo A83 has 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.2, GPS/ A-GPS, Micro-USB, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
