With the budget smartphone market in Australia heating up thanks to new competitors like Realme, Oppo has announced a new addition to its affordable A-series line-up.
Priced at only AU$299, the new Oppo A72 offers premium looks and an impressive quad camera array on its rear, along with a very modern punch-hole selfie camera nestled in its 6.5-inch 1080p LTPS ‘Neo-Display’.
