A Stand-Oppo Guy
Stuff Magazine|December/January 2021
It’s got dashing good looks, capable cameras and a battery that is impossible to kill in a day – for just R7k
A Stand-Oppo Guy

Just the vanguard This is the cream of Oppo’s 2020 crop for South Africa but it’s not the best you’ll see in SA. 2021 will see more advanced models launching into the country.

The A72’s got everything you’d expect from a 2020 smartphone, from the front-facing camera cut-out to four cameras on the back. You may question its value at R7k but add to that the USB-C port, fingerprint sensor under the side-mounted power button, and a headphone jack and you are getting a lot of phone for the money.

Our Aurora Purple model’s plastic back-panel dazzled with purple-to-yellow hues that look pretty when clean. But pop a few fingertips on the backplate and you get a whole lot of smudges. Luckily there’s a handy phone cover sitting in the box… just use it.
