We're here to serve up solutions!

And now, with the Oppo A78, things are heating up even more and it’s taking the smartphone game to a whole new level. Get ready to be wowed!
Charging Chops that Beat Your Caffeinated Chugs
You’re probably wondering, why all the coffee chat? It’s because Oppo is not holding back when describing the A78's raw charging power. As the tech company boldly claims, the phone delivers a “charge faster than having a coffee”. With charging speeds of up to 33W and a brawny 5000mAh battery, you’re getting a knockout performance. Need a quick power boost? You got it! In just 30 minutes, you can juice up to 52%. And if you're in need of a full recharge, this powerhouse can hit 100% in just 67 minutes. It's like a double espresso on steroids that has your back, whether you’re rushing out the door or buckling up for a blackout.
A Display that's Clearly Not for the Streets
Ever stopped to think about what you really use your phone for? Is it to catch up on some piping hot tea from your favourite YouTube drama channels? Or perhaps having heated debates on social media about why your favourite football team is the best in the world. There's just so much to do and so little time, right?
From gaming, scrolling, and streaming to communicating, the Oppo A78 brings all this content to a screen that’s larger than life. Its impressive 6.56-inch display, HD+ resolution and an astounding 89.8% screen-to-body ratio will make you feel like you're part of the action. Plus, with the optional refresh rates of 60Hz and 90Hz, it’s smooth scrolling all the way.
Chewing Up the Camera Competition
If you find your smartphone camera is making you look like Chewbacca when the sun goes down, it's time to show it the door. You deserve better than that!
Thankfully, the Oppo A78 won’t let you down with its 50MP AI main camera and 8MP selfie lens. It snaps crystal-clear photos in almost any lighting condition, making you feel like you have your own personal paparazzi capturing your best angles. We know you're beautiful just the way you are, but if you want to give your photos a little boost, the phone delivers top-tier editing features, including AI Portrait Retouching, Portrait Mode and AI night mode.
More Power to the People
When it comes to smartphones, the more power the better. How are we expected to do all the things we love with a phone that moves slower than a snail on a Sunday stroll? Let's be real, waiting for apps to load and pages to refresh can be a real buzzkill.
But it's time to breathe a sigh of relief because the Oppo A78 is bringing more power to the people with its agile MediaTek 6833 chipset, 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage (ROM). If you're thinking, "I need more RAM," Oppo is saying, "We've got you, fam." Thanks to RAM expansion technology, you'll be able to convert your unused ROM into RAM.
Verdict: The Oppo A78 is “Grande”
It's clear from the A78 that Oppo had two goals in mind: to do everything faster and better than the competition. The end result is a simply beautiful device that goes all day and night. You might need extra mugs of coffee to keep up!
