Display and Design
The Oppo A78 5G sports a 6.56-inch HD+ LCD panel running at a 90Hz refresh rate, which makes scrolling and casual gaming noticeably smoother than a standard 60Hz screen. The display delivers a peak brightness of 480 nits and covers 96 percent of the colour gamut, producing reasonably vivid visuals for the price. The native resolution is 1612 x 720 pixels.
Camera Features
On the back, the phone carries a dual-camera setup led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, supported by a 2-megapixel depth camera for portrait shots. The front gets an 8-megapixel selfie camera. Both camera systems can record Full-HD video at 30fps. Oppo has added AI-powered shooting aids including AI Portrait Retouching, AI Scene Enhancement, and Ultra Night Mode to help users get better results in varied lighting conditions.
Battery and Charging
Powering the device is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W SuperVOOC fast charging. Oppo claims a full charge takes just 60 minutes, and that a fully charged phone can deliver up to 23 hours of usage. This combination of large capacity and fast top-up speed is a strong point for a phone in this price bracket.
Security
For biometric authentication, the Oppo A78 5G uses a side-mounted fingerprint sensor — a design choice that keeps the rear panel clean and allows quick one-handed unlocking.
