OPPO has been on a launch spree lately which has seen several new models released. The Find X2 Lite, Find X2 Neo, OPPO A52, A92s, A12 were all announced in different markets within the past few days. The company isn’t stopping as the OPPO A72 has now been announced.
The OPPO A72 is a sibling of the A52 that has been launched in China. It features a similar 6.5-inch display with FHD+ resolution of 2340 x 1080pixels. The A72 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. This is similar to the A52 but while the A52 has 64GB storage onboard, OPPO A72 comes with 128GB of internal storage. Both are expandable via MicroSD slots.

The camera aspect is another area where the two models differ. The A72 features a Quad-camera setup at the rear just like the A52 but the sensors are slightly different. The A72 setup consists of a 48MP main sensor teaming up with an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, there is a 16MP sensor. This is an upgrade over the A52 which has a smaller 12MP main sensor and an 8MP selfie sensor.
Further, the OPPO A72 features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm jack on the bottom. The device gets its power supply from a 5,000mAh battery and supports 18W fast charge. Both models run the latest Android 10-based Color OS 7.1.
The OPPO A72 is expected to be sold in Europe alongside the A52. The prices are not known but the A52 was launched with a retail price of 1,600 yuan in China ( around €210). We expect the prices to be slightly higher due to taxes and other expenses.
