Reviewing the Oppo A74 5G, one of the best budget smartphones with next-gen connectivity in 2021. I've been testing it as my full-time phone this week, to see if the camera tech, gaming chops, media performance and battery life hold up. So here's how the Oppo A74 5G stacks up vs budget rivals like the Realme 8 5G and Redmi Note 10 Pro.

My one main complaint with this affordable blower is the camera tech, which isn't as strong as Xiaomi and Poco competitors. The photo and video capabilities are certainly limited, if not terrible. However, the battery performance is stellar, among the best at this budget price point, while the Snapdragon 480 chipset offers respectable everyday speed.

ColorOS remains love-it-or-hate-it, while the LTPS display is nothing special. But I'm a fan of this smartphone still, optics be damned. Check out my reviews of the other great alternatives to the A74 5G here on Tech Spurt.
