The Oppo A72 offers a 48MP quad camera and huge 5000mAh battery for just over £200

Oppo is back with yet another impossibly affordable blower Oppo A72 with some predictably big specs. The Chinese manufacturer has somehow managed to squeeze a mighty capable quad camera, 128GB of internal storage, 4GB RAM, a 6.5in Full HD+ display, and a stonking 5000mAh fast-charging battery into a handset that costs just £219.99. That quad cam is the undisputed star of the show, and combines a 48MP AI main camera, a 119-degree ultra wide angle lens, and two unique portrait-style lenses into a “constellation-array” that’s capable of taking some pretty stunning shots. It can also be used to capture wide-angle and 120fps slow motion footage, along with crystal clear 4K video. Review as soon as we have one in our hands.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
