OPPO A54 5G vs OPPO A74 5G vs OPPO A94 5G

“With a long-awaited British summer right around the corner, this launch has been designed with the excitement of life after lockdown in mind. From capturing new memories with friends and family, the OPPO A54 5G offers high-end technology at a wallet-friendly price. Now that UK customers are no longer confined to their homes, we were determined to design something that is the perfect companion for life in the “new normal” – the expanded OPPO A-series does just that.”

Kevin Cho, OPPO UK Managing Director

All three new products in the A Series include a 48MP main camera that captures clear and high-quality photos and are supported by a separate 8MP wide-angle camera, 2MP monochrome camera and 2MP macro camera.

You also have 5G connectivity and large batteries inside them that OPPO claims will deliver 1.5 days of battery life. The A94 5G is the most expensive the range but it is still very affordable at £299.

Meanwhile, the OPPO A54 5G is the entry-level model with prices starting at £219. The OPPO A74 5G retails for £249.

As it stands, these new OPPO phones are some of the best value 5G phones to hit the market.

You have great cameras, decent internal specs, nice design, and plenty of battery life – basically, exactly what 99.9% of consumers want.
