5G smartphones continue to proliferate in India despite there being no clear picture of when 5G services will actually be available. We recently tested the Oppo F19 Pro+, which was the company's first F-series phone to offer 5G, and today we have its first A-series 5G phone, the Oppo A74 5G.

Oppo A74 5G Summary

The design of the Oppo A74 5G is rather simple. It has a plastic body with a plastic back and noticeably thick borders around the display. It uses a 6.5-inch full-HD+ LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate, which makes navigation and scrolling through lists feel fluid and snappy. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 SoC is what sets the Oppo A74 5G apart from the competition. It scored 3,18,144 points in AnTuTu, which is roughly on par with MediaTek's Dimensity 800U SoC.

Battery life was pretty solid in my experience thanks to the capacious 5,000mAh battery. The cameras on the Oppo A74 5G are nothing fancy, and oddly, Oppo has not included an ultra-wide camera. To break it gently, this phone's cameras are simply not up to the mark. Performance was quite disappointing, especially in low light.

The Oppo A74 5G does have a good display, an interesting colour scheme, decent app and gaming performance, and very good battery life. Unfortunately, these factors simply aren't enough in my opinion for it to stand out.
