Editorial note

The Oppo A72 stands out with a 6.5-inch display featuring a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, providing a pleasant visual experience, although the TFT panel may limit viewing angles. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks but starts to show its limits when faced with more demanding applications. One of the highlights of this smartphone is its 5000 mAh battery, which guarantees prolonged use without frequent recharging, something particularly appreciated by active users. Additionally, the 48 MP rear camera, complemented by several sensors, allows for high-quality photos even in low-light conditions. In terms of storage, the Oppo A72 offers 128 GB of internal memory, expandable up to 256 GB via a microSD card, which is a plus for those needing a lot of space. However, the RAM capacity of only 4 GB could be a constraint when running multiple applications simultaneously. In summary, the Oppo A72 presents good value for money, but some users may be disappointed by the lack of modern features such as wireless charging and by the limited performance of its processor compared to current competition.
