Oppo A74 5G

“The Oppo A74 5G does a few things better than the A74 LTE and relies on a 90 Hz LCD instead of a 60 Hz OLED, among other things. However, Oppo leaves one advantage of the LC technology unused by using PWM. The SoC is newer, which not only means a higher performance, but also a better efficiency, which is reflected in noticeably longer battery runtimes. Furthermore, the 5G variant also has an NFC chip. The camera has also been supplemented by an ultra-wide lens.”

“The Oppo A74 is a good mid-range smartphone that delivers as promised in terms of battery, camera, and display. The 5,000 mAh battery guarantees very long runtimes, the 48 MP camera takes good pictures in daylight, and such a bright and high-quality AMOLED display is rarely seen in this price range.”

“The Oppo A74 5G is a solid buy for affordable 5G, but low-light photos disappoint and the camera in general is not a star of this category.”

“The Oppo A74 5G is another highly competent budget phone from this reliable brand, but it doesn’t really do anything to stand out in a competitive field. It provides a well-balanced package with 5G connectivity and a design that’s tame and plasticky, but nonetheless solid. However, that cutting-edge network connectivity comes with the usual degree of compromise in the form of a fairly bog-standard (if far from bad) LCD rather than OLED screen. Performance is just about good enough, but gamers can do better for the money.”
