Oppo A74 5G
The Oppo A74 5G is one of the most affordable 5G smartphones sold by the brand, which features a simple design with a curved polycarbonate back that is available in a shiny metallic finish, as well as a colourful blue-purple mix. The camera module is a lot slimmer than regular A series smartphones and features a larger 48MP main sensor which is supported by various AI algorithms. Despite the slim and lightweight body, the phone still manages to pack in a massive 5000mAh battery, although you get very basic fast charging and no wireless charging. Although, you do get a 90Hz refresh rate for the FHD+ IPS display, which is a bonus for multimedia consumption.

Bottom Line
Oppo A74 5G is a decent entry-level smartphone which gets a lot of things right, including the design, display, cameras, and a large battery to charge them up. But as usual, we miss fast charging and a more powerful processor in hopes of keeping the costs down.Pros
