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.

Earlier today, we reported that the OPPO A74 5G will be launching in India on April 20. The handset was already tipped to make its debut in the country before the official announcement.

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.

Hence, we can expect features like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 SoC, 6.5-inch FHD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) 90Hz LCD panel with a punch-hole at the top left corner, 48MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup, 8MP selfie camera, MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11, 5,000mAh battery, and 18W fast charging via USB Type-C.

OPPO is said to be working on two different Axx smartphones. Certifications like Thailand’s NBTC reveal that the OPPO CPH2219 is the OPPO A74 4G while the OPPO CPH2197 is the OPPO A74 5G. Today, the 5G variant has been spotted on Geekbench by Nashvillechatterclass.

As the report says, an OPPO smartphone with model number CPH2197 appears on Geekbench. This device has a Qualcomm processor with a base frequency of 1.8GHz. While the name isn’t specified, the motherboard is written as “holi“. This is said to belong to the Snapdragon 480 5G chipset launched in Jan. 2021.

Further, the OPPO CPH2197 device, which is the OPPO A74 5G as per certifications, seems to run Android 11 OS with 6GB RAM. The device could very well debut with the latest ColorOS 11.2 out of the box but let’s wait for an official word.

OPPO A74 5G isn’t new to us. Recently, the high-quality renders and key specs of the devices surfaced on the internet. Accordingly, the device is said to measure 169.2 x 74.7 x 8.4 mm and weigh 190 grams.

The 5G version is said to come in two colors- Fluid Black and Space Silver. Expected specs of the device include up to 128GB storage, 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.

The predecessor, OPPO A73 5G featured an IPS LCD panel but we will have to wait and see if OPPO shits to AMOLED on the successor. We are speculating this because the chipset seems to be a bit downgraded on the OPPO A74 5G compared to last year.
