In addition to 5G, the Oppo A72 5G improves upon the battery compared to the Oppo A72. However, the Oppo A72 5G slightly sacrifices the camera quality in order to keep the price of both phones the same.

Compared to the Oppo A72 5G, the Oppo A72 has an additional black and white camera for a total of 5 cameras. The main camera also sees a better sensor at 48 MP vs 16 MP.

Both phones have different CPUs, however real world usage is identical, with negligible differences apart from 5G support. The Oppo A72 5G uses a MediaTek 720 5G processor, whereas the Oppo A72 has a Snapdragon 665 processor.

For the price, the Oppo A72 5G delivers a premium screen. The large panel is 6.5 inches, with 1080 x 2400 pixel at a 20:9 aspect ratio. Pixel per inch density is high at 405 ppi. The full HD 1080p is plenty bright and sharp, with vibrant colours despite the lack of OLED technology. Maximum brightness is good enough for usage in direct sunlight, with good viewing angles. The most impressive aspect of the screen, however, is the high 90Hz refresh rate. Scrolling is buttery smooth, with fluid and fast animations that appear effortless. It's also very easy on the eyes.

There's a small round hole at the top left of the panel for the selfie camera. Coupled with a 84% body to screen ratio, the Oppo A72 5G has very narrow bezels. We much prefer the selfie cutout, compared to the larger and more obtrusive notch as used on other phones.

The Oppo A72 5G runs on a MediaTek 720 5G CPU, which is a mid range processor with 8 cores. Performance in everyday usage is good, but not as fast when compared to flagship phones. Android 11 runs smooth, without any noticeable stutters when navigating around the OS or scrolling. The Oppo A72 5G can also run most games at a minimum of medium settings with a playable FPS. We like the generous 4GB RAM, which is more than enough for good levels of consistent multitasking.

The Oppo A72 5G has a total of 4 cameras, with 3 on the rear and a single selfie camera.

The rear has a 16 MP wide camera, 8 MP ultrawide camera and 2 MP depth camera. Thanks to the decent sensor size, photos taken in low light look good, without too much noise or off-tint. There's also a LED flash if you really need it. Photos taken in daylight are great, with good contrast thanks to the HDR shooting mode, alongside defined detail. Video can be captured up to 4K 30fps, with slow motion at 1080p 120fps.

On the front, there's a good performing 8 MP selfie camera, with HDR and video recording up to 1080p 30fps. The wide angled lens can take good group photos, and is more than adequate for social media posts and video calling.
