Editor Rating
3.5/5

Oppo A78 is a nice upgrade over last year’s Oppo A77s smartphone that gets a slightly refreshed design but sticks to the aesthetics of the entry-level A series sold by the popular Chinese brand. You get a slim and solid plastic body and frame construction to keep the price down, with the rear panel featuring a minimalist design and frosted finish that makes it seem a lot more premium than its price tag. There is a vertical stripe of glossy gradients that starts from the camera module and goes down to the Oppo logo, making both stand out against the backdrop.

Bottom Line

Oppo A78 is a nice upgrade over the outgoing model that gets a slightly refreshed design, a responsive display, a decent processor and camera array, and a large battery to keep it all going. You do not get any wireless charging, though.
