The Oppo A78 4G is the latest budget-friendly smartphone offering from the popular Chinese brand. Released in July 2023, this device packs quite a punch for its affordable price tag of around 365,000 Naira.

Design and Display
The A78 4G has a modern design with a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that offers punchy colors and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. The body has an 85.2% screen-to-body ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It’s a bit on the thicker side at 7.9mm but still relatively lightweight at 180g. The IP54 rating provides dust and splash resistance.

Performance
Under the hood is the capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G chipset built on a 6nm process. It’s paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB of expandable storage. This allows the A78 4G to handle day-to-day tasks and some light gaming without too much slowdown. The phone ships with Android 13-based ColorOS 13.1 out of the box.

Camera
The main camera system consists of a 50MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor. While not flagship quality, it should be decent for the price range. There’s an 8MP selfie camera as well. Both can record 1080p video at 30fps.

Battery and Charging
One of the standout features is the large 5,000mAh battery that Oppo claims can last over a day with average use. Even better is the support for 67W wired fast charging that can recharge the battery from 0-76% in just 30 minutes.

Other Notable Features

• Dual SIM, microSD expansion
• In-display optical fingerprint sensor
• The standard array of sensors
• Dual speakers
• 3.5mm headphone jack
• USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0

The Oppo A78 4G seems like a very capable budget smartphone that checks most of the boxes for its price point. It launches in Mist Black and Aqua Green colors. If you’re looking for an affordable all-rounder, this could be one to consider.
