Over on the back, it features a large rectangular camera module in the top left corner that houses three camera sensors and a flash. The phone features OPPO branding on the opposite edge of the back panel, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner on the right edge, and a volume rocker on the left edge. The USB Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone hack and speaker grille can be found on the bottom edge.
The OPPO A74 5G is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 480 5G chip, which is an octa-core chip built on an 8nm process. The SoC includes two ARM Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and six ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. For graphics-intensive tasks, the SoC packs an Adreno 619 GPU. The chip also features the Snapdragon X51 modem-RF system for 5G connectivity. OPPO has paired the Snapdragon 480 on the device with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which can be expanded further using the included microSD card slot.
In the camera department, the OPPO A74 5G offers a 48MP main camera on the back, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor. Over on the front, it has a single 8MP selfie shooter. The hardware is backed by a massive 5,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging using the included charger. On the software front, the device runs ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11 out of the box.
