Editorial report

Oppo A72 4 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Oppo A72 suits buyers who put battery capacity first, provided they can live with a 60 Hz display and below-average peak brightness. Its 5000 mAh battery holds more capacity than most phones launched around the same time. The 18 W charging rate, by contrast, is average for its time.

The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 1080 × 2400 pixels and a density of 405 ppi, better than most phones of its time. Peak brightness is 480 nits, and the refresh rate is 60 Hz. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 pairs with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage in the configuration shown. Both the RAM capacity and its AnTuTu v8 result of 171,000 are below average among phones launched around the same time.

The 48 MP main camera has above-average resolution, while its f/1.7 aperture is among the best of phones from the period. An 8 MP ultrawide camera adds a wider framing option, and video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps. There is no optical image stabilization. The camera overall is above average. NFC, USB Type-C, dual SIM and connectivity better than most phones of its time round out the package. With a NeoScore of 5.0, the Oppo A72 is a sensible fit for buyers who value battery capacity and a versatile camera setup, but its display and performance are clear compromises.
