IF you're looking for an affordable smartphone, but with a long battery life, you should check out the new Oppo A78.

The phone comes with a fast 67W Super Voltage Open Loop Multi-step Constant-Current Charging (SUPERVOOC) flash charge and long-lasting 5000mAh large battery, and up to 16GB RAM.

Sporting an ultra slim retro design and a Diamond Matrix style on the back cover, the phone can be charged to 100 per cent in about 44 minutes.

When fully charged, 5,000mAh battery can provide 27.4 days of standby (flight mode) or 16.37 hours of YouTube video.

Oppo has also introduced a series of exclusive technologies designed to enhance charging safety and reliability on the A78. Its Battery Health Engine helps to extend the A78's battery lifespan to as many as 1,600 charge and discharge cycles, which is enough to keep the battery working in a good condition for up to four years, and the Optimised All-Day Charging intelligently learns users' daily charging habits and adjusts the charging speed accordingly.

For office workers who often leave their phones connected to a charger throughout the day, Optimised All-Day Charging can automatically stop charging the battery when it reaches 80 per cent capacity and then resume charging to 100per cent just in time for the end of work.

This reduces the constant charging of the battery to improve safety and overall battery longevity. On top of this, 5-Layer Charging Protection returns to the A78 to improve end-to-end safety across the entire charging process.

Display

The phone's FHD+ AMOLED 6.4-inch screen has a 90Hz refresh rate and up to 180Hz touch sampling rate to provide enhanced smoothness and responsiveness. With up to 600 nits overall brightness, the screen delivers incredible detail even in direct sunlight, while the smart adaptive backlight helps provide the most comfortable visual experience in different environments to reduce visual fatigue from prolonged viewing. The display also includes the first In-Display Fingerprint Unlock on a smartphone in this price range, offering a better balance between aesthetic design and efficiency.

Camera

In terms of camera, the A78 is equipped with a camera system including a 50MP main camera and a series of new features that make it easier than ever to capture stunning photos and videos. For example, Dual-View Video can be used to shoot from both the front and rear cameras simultaneously and combine the footage into a single frame, unlocking new perspectives in shooting creative vlogs.

Processor

The A78 is powered by the Snapdragon 680 mobile platform, delivering powerful performance with optimised power consumption built for everyday tasks. The phone features an 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM configuration with up to 1TB of additional storage through the SD card slot. It also includes Oppo's RAM Expansion technology, which can be used to temporarily convert free ROM space into a maximum of 8GB of RAM to keep the phone running smoothly during heavy-load scenarios.

Price

The Oppo A78 is available in Aqua Green and Mist Black at the recommended retail price of RM999.
