OPPO A74 4G: Better Than 5G? 🤔 By Adam Lobo TV

Hey guys, Adam Logo here from Adam Logo TV. So if you are familiar with my channel, I have previously done the unboxing and the first impressions of the OPP A74 5G But. Instead of giving you the full video review on that I halted that plan when I found out there is a more affordable option, which is the OPP A74 4G, coming at only RM899, compared to RM1099 that the 5G variant was priced at So in this video I will be unboxing and giving you my full in-depth review of the OPP A74, the 4G variant so keep watching Starting with the unboxing. Of course, the box comes in white, with OPP A74 on top, the visuals of the phone in the middle and the RAM and storage specs on the top left At, the back, You will find the specs of the RAM and storage once again, the color variant that you have chosen and some additional phone specs over the top Sliding the box cover, You will find another white box and opening that reveals a smaller box which contains the SIM ejector pin and of course, keeping it consistent on the A-series. It also has the soft clear phone case. Then, You will find the phone itself Underneath, You will find earphones, Sweet!, a USB-A to USB-C cable, then.

Finally, the 33-watts Superfood 2.0 fast charger Next, Looking at the specs, it comes with the Snapdragon 662 Chipset, with the Arena 610 GPU The variant that I have, as seen on the box, is the 6 gigabytes of RAM, with 128 gigabytes of storage. It comes shipped with Android 11, with the latest Colors version 11.1 skin From, the phone's design and build's perspective. The overall design and finish was surely a quite surprising factor as it did not really feel like. It was a smartphone that is below the RM1000 mark. The Prism Black variant had a bit more of a lower profile look, but if you would like to go with something that really stands out a bit more, then the Midnight Blue would be a compelling option, as these are the two color options available.

Then the rear camera arrays are towards the top left with a medium-sized camera bump. So you can expect a little wobble when you are typing the phone on a surface, especially towards the middle left of the phone I have to say that I loved the thin form factor of the phone, because I was really surprised on how OPP has managed to do that. Since the phone comes with a huge 5000 Williams of battery Then. Looking at the front, the screen looks pretty sleek with the camera hole punch towards the top left, with a 90.8 percent screen-to-body ratio with a fingerprint sensor on the screen as well Next, looking at the phone's ports and buttons, looking down below other than the USB-C port, you will find the speaker grills over there and yes, There is the headphones jack as well. On the right, There is the power button, then, on the left, there is the volume rockers and the SIM and micros card slot with a dedicated micros card slot expansion And using the phone daily felt great, where once again, you just can't guess the phone's price, just by looking at it or even feeling it in your hands.

So that, for me, is a huge plus Now. One of the cool things that this 4G variant also has that is not available on the 5G variant is that this 4G variant comes with an AMOLED screen with a 6.43-inches and a resolution of 1080 x.2400 pixels One thing to note is the fact that the screen does not come with a high refresh rate of 90hz, but I would trade an AMOLED screen to a higher refresh rate and for those of you who are constantly complaining about not having a high refresh rate... Please, calm down, because even the iPhone until now, doesn't have a 90 hertz refresh rate, and this phone is only RM899, so...... yeah Because, like I said, the AMOLED screen just made the phone's screen very pleasant to look at daily with a quite high 600 nits of peak brightness and watching videos on YouTube and Netflix was also really nice with great color reproduction and also very natural colors, without typically having any over-saturation which most smartphones within this price usually have. So I absolutely have no complaints about it.

Here, Now on to the phone's cameras, you will find a 48 Megapixel, f, 1.7, aperture, 26?mm, wide lens, a 2-megapixel f, 2.4 macro lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor, So yes, There is no ultrawide camera on the phone Then. As for the front camera, it has a 16-megapixel, f, 2.4 27?mm wide lens So. Instead of me, going through the photo samples taken on the phone, I will be collaborating and getting my buddy Umar from Product Nation to take the cameras on the phone for a spin. So let's see what results did he get so Umar, Take it away: buddy! Hey, guys, Umar here from Product Nation Adam, Thank you so much for having us on here, Today we're taking a look at the camera system on the OPP A74 Now, This is a budget mid-range device, so our expectations can't be too high for the camera. But I was actually surprised by the performance of this Let me show you exactly what I am talking about: Coming down to the image performance, The HDR on this looks very, very nice.

The colors are very over-saturated and punchy for my liking, but it looked pretty good. Then you've got the depth of field. The f 1.7 gives you pretty nice background blur Speaking of background blur, The Portrait Mode also has very good separation, Much better than I expected This does depend on good lighting. Though, you'll need pretty good lighting When. It comes to human Portrait Mode, It does pretty well, This is with the AI Beauty Mode turned off, and you can see it looks very, very nice on the skin tones With, the AI Beauty Mode turned on, Furthermore, it actually, surprisingly, does pretty well Even zooming into the skin tones, Furthermore, it looks perfect almost like it is properly photoshopped, and you don't usually see that on this price point Even the front camera performance for the Portrait Mode is quite nice.

The separation isn't the best, but in good lighting it is great Now. Moving onto the 48-megapixels, here is a shot taken at 48MP and then cropped in at 400% crop, and you can see it retains a fair bit of details, But if you use the extra HD mode you get way more detail, Definitely a huge difference. Another automated feature, built-in here, is the AI Scene Enhancement, and this works pretty interestingly So. The left is it turned off, and the right is turned on. It basically just adds a bunch of vibrant and contrasts that it almost looks like you've edited your picture and color-corrected your picture.

It's... Furthermore, it's to some people's liking. Furthermore, it also has 10x digital zoom, which doesn't look the best, but it is there if you need it For the night mode, Interestingly enough, when you use it, you get more light, but also more noise. This is the front camera video recording, test, recording at 1080p at 30FPS As. You can see from the skin tones and the colors.

It does seem to be on the cooler end. The tones on my skin is quite cool, The tones on my shirt. Overall, the image seems to be a lot cooler, In terms of stabilization, as I am walking you can see, it is quite shaky because we're lacking image stabilization in the front camera Back camera is pretty much the same story. We're at 1080p at 30FPS, we're still lacking the image stabilization In terms of the image quality, It does seem to be over-sharpened quite a bit and the contrast levels aren't really the best So, as we saw from those tests. The performance of the camera is actually exceeding my expectations here.

One thing we did notice is the video performance is definitely not as good as the image taking performance. I would rank the video performance at about a 6/7 out of 10, while the image taking performance for the price, I'd rank it 8.5, or even a 9 out of 10 What would really knock. This out of the park would be an ultrawide angle lens Honestly, Instead of this 2-megapixels macro lens that probably no one will ever use an ultrawide angle. Lens would've been a much better choice: All right, this has been fun! Adam, once again, Thank you for having us on Guys, If you enjoyed our content, stop by Product Nation to say hi And, we will definitely be doing more. Videos like this with Adam I'm, going to pass it back to him now.

If, you guys are enjoying this video. So far, a nice big thumbs up would be very much appreciated and subscribe to this channel and also Product Nation too. If you like this kind of video content As for the phone's sound quality, it comes with a mono firing speaker towards the bottom. The volume was decent, not the loudest, but considering the price range, it did not really affect me. The highs were pretty less apparent, but it did sound nicer on the mid-lows and here is a quick, sound test.

In terms of software, backed by Android 11 with Colors version 11.1. The overall UI was as smooth as how they have known to be Not. Only the responsiveness is great, but the overall navigation and multitasking was nice and because of the screen quality it made using the phone every single day, a very pleasant experience and because of the screen quality I did not even feel like I missed the higher refresh rate, and I am indeed happy to report that there were no buggy issues when it comes to the phone software compared to the likes of... *cough* MINI As for the phone's gaming, What's nice is that the phone goes to a higher 180-hertz touch sampling rate during the Game Focus Mode, instead of 135 (hertz) on the normal mode. And for a phone of this price, and this caliber I first tested out PUBG Mobile and the experience was pretty smooth at medium settings and with Balanced FPS settings, with no overheating issues, and since it was capped at that settings, you can't really go overboard anyway.

Then just for the sake of maximizing the phone's gaming capabilities, I even tried something really graphic intensive, like Genshin Impact You can run the game, but I would say that it was not really playable, since the phone is not really built for a high intensive gaming like this, especially how the battery drains very quickly during gameplay on Genshin Impact As for the phone's battery, the phone comes with 5000 Williams of battery, as mentioned earlier, and based on my test, I got a total of 7 hours and 18 minutes of screen on time when I was at 10% battery and of course this is with the dark mode turned off and with very heavy gameplay. When I was testing out. The phone daily which to me, was a huge plus of the phone And, since the phone does come with the 33-watts Superfood 2.0 flash charger inside the box, so naturally it has a fast charging up to that where it got me from 0 to 50% for about 26 minutes. So that was really nice to know. In conclusion, I have to say that the OPP A74 is definitely a very appealing option for a phone within this price range.

Like I said before, While it is nice to have a 5G phone, but at this point of time, 5G is still not readily available for many countries, especially here in Malaysia Maybe in 5 years, time? So. That should not even be part of your purchase decision So. If you guys, are looking for a smartphone that has a decent price, a really high quality screen, a great battery life and a pretty decent camera, then yes, This should be a phone for you, But with this, Do let me know what you guys think of this OPP A74 4G. At the comments section below and let's discuss over there.
