OPPO A72

In the last few years, not only did we get to witness a lot of great innovation in the upper end of the smartphone world, with mind blowing flagship phones but we also got to see some excellent specs and features trickle down to the budget segment of mobile phones with entry level devices offering a lot more than they did a couple of years prior. Most importantly, we saw that many phone enthusiasts decided to up their budgets and go for a mid range phone, which meant a spike in the quality of smartphones in that price range as well. And Oppo was there for it  all, launching premium devices like the Find X, and affordable phones as part of the F series and of course, for the mid range, the Oppo Reno series. But today, we have a mid range phone that has made its debut — the Oppo A72. This new phone is an all rounder, offering good specs and affordability in one package. You have a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels on its 20:9 screen. The Oppo A72 packs a Snapdragon 665 chipset from Qualcomm inside and is also equipped with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. You get a run of the mill quad camera setup on the back in a 48MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP configuration. For selfies and video calls, the Oppo A72 features a 16MP front facing sensor. The phone runs on Android 10 with ColorOS as a skin over it. The battery life is excellent thanks to the tank that has a capacity of 50000mAh. Some of the popular Oppo mobile phones include the Oppo A92s, the Oppo Find X2, and the Oppo Reno 4 Pro.

OPPO A72 Details

Gorilla Glass 3, 6.5 inch Full HD+ Display
The Oppo A72 comes with a Gorilla Glass 3-reinforced IPS LCD panel that measures 6.5 inches and has a punch hole cut out for the front camera. The screen offers a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels at a density of 405 ppi. The display has a max brightness of 480 nits.
Snapdragon 665 Chipset, Stereo Speakers, Rear Quad Camera
The Oppo A72 comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard memory, but the chink in its armor has to be its processor, as it comes with a Snapdragon 665 SoC. While it’s definitely not a bad processor, it is easy to find better chipsets at this price point. The phone runs ColorOS 7.1 and is offering Android 10, and you can expect an upgrade to Android 11 in the future. Quad cameras are a common sight on Oppo phones these days, and that is what you get on the Oppo A72 as well. The rear setup consists of a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP sensor for ultrawide photos, a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro lens for those beautiful close-up shots. The phone can record 4K videos at 30fpss and 1080p videos with the 16MP front camera. The phone has stereo speakers so you can enjoy spatial audio when you watch videos.
 
5000mAh Battery, 18W Charging, Connectivity
The Oppo A72 is definitely a battery beast because it packs a whopping 5000mAh cell that will let you sail right through a couple of days with no issues. You also get 18W fast charging, which is okay but could have been a bit better. The fingerprint sensor mounted on the side of the phone and connectivity options include dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, and GPS. The phone features a Type C port and has a 3.5mm jack for earphones as well.
