As the name suggests, the model is a 5G version of the OPPO A74 smartphone. And if outwardly it is almost a complete copy of it, then there are significant differences in characteristics. Firstly, the device is based on the Snapdragon 480 processor, which supports fifth-generation networks. It is paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory, the volume of which can be increased using a microSD memory card. Secondly, the refresh rate of the 6.5-inch display has increased to 90 Hz, but the fingerprint scanner has migrated from the screen to the side. Thirdly, OPPO A74 5G is distinguished by its set of cameras. The main one has as many as four modules: a 48 MP sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide lens and two additional 2 MP sensors. The...16-megapixel front camera is located in a round cutout in the upper corner of the display. In addition, the battery retained a capacity of 5000 mAh, but they decided to reduce the power of fast charging from 33 to 18 watts.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The OPPO A74 5G 128 GB / 6 GB smartphone offers a mixed experience for users. On the positive side, it makes a good initial impression with its performance, handling multiple apps without lagging, and provides sharp and clear photos with its camera. The battery life is generally satisfactory for many users, although some have noted issues with disproportionate battery drain compared to other phones. The phone's software, specifically ColorOS, has been criticized for its frequent and intrusive update notifications and quirks that affect app performance, causing random shutdowns and restrictions. Additionally, the fingerprint sensor performance is considered subpar, and the charging behavior is inconsistent, not adhering to selected settings. Despite these drawbacks, some users still find the overall experience acceptable, particularly appreciating the phone's initial performance and camera quality.
Pros

Cons

great model, I really liked it
23 June 2021 
Bought it for my father, and I ended up liking it too. At first glance, it makes a very good impression, doesn't lag even when you accidentally open a bunch of programs, the battery lasts quite a while, and the photos are sharp and clear, though I haven't tried night shots.

Chinese phone - this is for stupid, or children to play
5 May 2023 
Describe what you didn't like without using curse words - difficult

and a lot more little things.
In general. I've been using branded products my whole life since the Nokia 1120, decided to try a Chinese one this time. What a mess!
Never buy Chinese
the purchase price and advertising is beautiful
I've updated the OS about 5 times this year.
1. The update notifications forcibly appear front and center almost every day and are constantly annoying, pressuring for an update.
2. With each update, things get worse. This ridiculous ColorOS with its quirks and app requirements. Sometimes it locks them on its own. Sometimes it issues requests and demands from the apps or something else. The most frustrating part is it randomly shuts down and doesn't let the apps work whenever it wants. And don't tell me about app permissions or anything else. All possible permissions have been granted. Even the high battery consumption is enabled - still, the OS decides for itself what to do.
3. It lags terribly. Occasionally freezes. Updates don't fix the issue.
4. It consumes battery disproportionately. Supposedly a power-efficient processor and a 5000mAh battery, but an old Samsung with a 4500 battery lasts a day longer with the same usage. Furthermore, the Samsung loses 3% overnight, while this loses 7%. Despite everything being shut off overnight and all apps stopped... but the charge disappears somewhere :)
5. The fingerprint sensor. Haven't seen worse.
6. The battery charging mode behaves as if invented by the Chinese. Charges up to 80% in 1 hour, despite selecting the night economy charge in settings. It doesn't care. It abuses the battery.
