It was only yesterday when a detailed leak revealed the specifications and pricing of the Oppo A78 5G. And today, the Chinese company officially launched the smartphone in Malaysia. It is also expected to make its way to India on January 14. The brand-new mid-ranger from Oppo brings a large LCD display, a capable MediaTek chipset, 50MP dual cameras, and a lot more. Let’s learn more about the newly announced Oppo A78 5G.
Starting off with the design, the smartphone looks similar, if not exactly the same, as the Oppo 58 5G, which debuted in November 2022. It has a left-aligned camera module with a vertical stripe extending around half the length of the back panel. On the front, there’s a flat display with a waterdrop notch. The phone has fairly thin bezels and a comparatively thicker chin.
Now, moving to the specifications. The Oppo A78 5G has a 6.56-inch LCD display, which offers HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the handset is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage. It also comes with a microSD card slot for further expansion.
The smartphone has a dual rear camera setup, headlined by a 50MP primary sensor. There’s also a 2MP depth shooter. For selfies, it gets an 8MP snapper on the front. Fueling the handset is a 5,000 mAh battery with 33W charging support.
It also includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, 5G connectivity, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and USB-C. The smartphone is IP54 dust and water-resistant. On the software front, it runs Android 13 with ColorOS 13 on top.
Finally, the official pricing of the Oppo A78 5G is yet to be known. The company hasn’t revealed the Malaysian sale date for the smartphone either. A recent leak revealed the device will be priced at around Rs. 19,000 ($230) for its base storage variant.
