Before Christmas, OPPO started recruiting beta testers for the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 update for the OPPO A74 5G. Within a month from that, the smartphone has already started receiving the stable update.

According to an official announcement post on OPPO Community, the Chinese tech company has begun to roll out ColorOS 12 stable update for OPPO A74 5G. The latest software update for the handset not only brings new features of ColorOS but also Android 12 and related features.

The update is currently live in India and it arrives with firmware version C.29. In order to receive the OTA system support, users should be on firmware version A.12.

If the users of the phone are on the required software build, then they can navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Trial Version and follow the on-screen instructions to download the install the new update.

Like any other OTA software update, this one is also being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it may take some time to reach every user. Having said that, all units should get access to the latest update in the coming days.

The OPPO A74 5G is the company’s budget 5G smartphone. Kudos to OPPO for delivering the update to this device faster than other brands that offer similarly priced 5G handsets.

Besides the Find X3 Series, OPPO also brought a new trio of affordable phones to the global market this year. We are talking about the new models from the A series: OPPO A54 5G, OPPO A74 5G, and OPPO A94 5G. Until now, these are the only devices from the A series launched by OPPO in the European market this year. In order to clear your ideas about their specifications, we decided to write a comparison between these devices. Here you will learn all the main specifications and what changes between each model.

OPPO A54 5G vs OPPO A74 5G vs OPPO A94 5G

Design

If we exclude the color variants, OPPO A54 5G and OPPO A74 5G have the same design, the same weight and the same dimensions. They come with a punch-hole display and a polycarbonate body, as well as a rectangular camera module and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. The OPPO A94 5G is slightly different and definitely better than its internal rivals. With the OPPO A94 5G, you still get a polycarbonate body and a punch-hole display, but it is a thinner and lighter phone with a thickness of 7.8 mm and a weight of 173 grams.

Display

The OPPO A54 5G and the OPPO A74 5G share the same display: an LTPS IPS panel with a diagonal of 6.5 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. It is a pretty nice display, but an average panel. If you need something better in terms of image quality, you should go for the OPPO A94 5G. You get a standard refresh rate with this handset, but on the other hand, it has an AMOLED display with brighter colors and deeper blacks. The diagonal is 6.43 inches, so the phone is more compact, while the resolution remains Full HD+. The OPPO A94 5G has an important additional feature: an in-display fingerprint scanner which makes authentication more comfortable.

Hardware/Software

The OPPO A54 and the OPPO A74 5G are powered by the Snapdragon 480 mobile platform that is the most entry-level 5G chipset by Qualcomm. They differ when it comes to the memory configurations: the OPPO A54 5G has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while OPPO A74 5G packs 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. With the OPPO A94 5G, you get a more powerful chipset: the upper-midrange SoC Dimensity 800U by Mediatek, paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage. All the phones feature an expansion slot and run Android 11 customized by ColorOS 11.1.

Camera

OPPO A54 5G, OPPO A74 5G, and OPPO A94 5G feature the same rear cameras: a 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth. Nothing special, but nothing disappointing.

Battery

OPPO A54 5G and OPPO A74 5G are superior when it comes to battery life, thanks to a 5000 mAh battery. Unfortunately, the OPPO A54 5G does not support fast charging, while the A74 has 18W fast charging. But the OPPO A94 5G wins the fast charging comparison with a power of 30W.

OPPO A54 5G vs OPPO A74 5G vs OPPO A94 5G: Price

OPPO A54 5G costs €269 in Europe, OPPO A74 5G is priced at €299, and OPPO A94 5G costs €369. The OPPO A94 5G is definitely a more interesting handset due to its AMOLED display, better design, and faster charging, but it has a smaller battery. OPPO A54 5G and A74 5G only differ in the color variants and memory configuration.

The phone gets its juice from a 5000mAh battery which unfortunately doesn’t support fast charging. The interface is provided by the Android 11-based ColorOS 11.1. For connectivity, the A54 5G comes with WiFi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth, and NFC. There is equally a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on board for biometric authentication.

The Oppo A74 5G packs a similar 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with FHD+ resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz. The device also packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 chipset meaning it is 5G-enabled. The processor is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The storage can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card.

For optics, the OPPO A4 5G equally packs a quad-camera setup consisting of a 48MP + 8MP ultra-wide+2MP depth sensor+ 2MP macro lens. For selfies, there is a 16MP camera embedded on the hole punch at the left side of the display.

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.

Recently, OPPO CPH2197 passed several certifications and it is said to be the OPPO A74 5G smartphone. Today, renders and specs of the device have been leaked and it looks similar to the upcoming OPPO F19 smartphone.

As reported by mobielkopen.net, the OPPO A74 will launch in 4G and 5G versions. Out of this, the 5G version is said to come in two colors- Fluid Black and Space Silver. And the 4G version will debut in Prism Black and Midnight Blue options.

Talking about the renders themselves, we see a triple-camera setup on the back. There is a 48MP AI Camera etched beside the sensors. The layout, colors are a lot similar to the OPPO F19 that was recently teased by OPPO India.

Yesterday, the company launched the OPPO F19 Pro series where it also revealed that a watered-down variant OPPO F19 would be launching soon. Its rear design had a similar shade and 48MP triple-camera layout like the OPPO A74 4G above. You can compare the images below:

Well, this is not the first time OPPO has rebadged a device. In fact, the company silently debuted the OPPO A73 as a rebadged version of the OPPO F17 in 2020. Hence, the successor in 2021, at least the 4G version, could be a rebadged version too. Do note that this is our early guess and hence, take it with a pinch of salt for now.

That said, you can take a look at the other renders of the OPPO A74 4G and OPPO A74 5G versions below:

As for specs, the report says that the OPPO A74 4G & 5G versions will measure 169.2 x 74.7 x 8.4 mm with a weigh 190 grams. This suggests that the device will be a bit thicker, heavier, and feature a bigger display(could be 6.8-inches) than the predecessor, OPPO A73 5G.

Further, both the variants will likely have storage up to 128GB. Other expected specs include a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support, ColorOS based on Android 10 on 4G model, and Android 11 OS on the 5G device. Let’s wait for more info in the coming days.

The specifications of the Reno5 Z are under wraps.
