Last month, OPPO launched the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G as its most affordable 5G smartphone in India to date. A few weeks later, the company now says that this moniker will go to a different phone next week. This device is none other than the upcoming OPPO A74 5G.

Some hours after the company revealed the device’s launch date, OPPO India’s Vice President Tasleem Arif took to Twitter to tease the smartphone’s price. According to his tweet, the forthcoming OPPO A74 5G will cost under ₹20,000 ($269) in India.

According to previous reports, the OPPO A74 5G coming to India will be different than the handset that was released in several Asian countries earlier this month. The Indian OPPO A74  5G is said to be a rebranded OPPO A93 5G, which launched in China in January.
