Buried in TENNA’s database, a mystery 5G phone was found recently. Suspected to be the Oppo A72 5G, this particular model called ‘PDYM20’ has now been tested by the popular benchmarking site, Geekbench. Based on what we know so far, the A72 5G is yet another 5G handset at a pocket-friendly Oppo price tag — much like the A92 5G except that it’ll be powered by a shiny new Dimensity processor.
As per the data already available to the public, the alleged Oppo A72 5G is powered by MediaTek’s MT6853 platform. While it remains unannounced, reports suggest that it’ll be the cheapest 5G chipset on the market (and that it might make its debut with the supposed Oppo PDYM20 phone.
More to the point, the processor used in the new Oppo smartphone could be titled ‘Dimensity 720’, which has a 5G modem, and a CPU clocked at 2.0GHz.
On its benchmarks, the A72 5G by Oppo scored 513 points on single-core, and 1,659 on its multi-core tests. Android 10 (likely customized with the latest ColorOS 7) and 8GB of RAM are specified in the listing too.
Further, the new Oppo listing isn’t half as revealing as the A72 5G TENNA listing, which gave us a preview of the design, display, camera, battery, and storage + memory configurations. You’re looking at a 6.5” IPS LCD screen with a hole punched in its corner and a refresh rate that reaches 90Hz. A modest 8MP sensor is nestled inside the display, while the camera array on the back features three lenses: 16MP + 8MP + 2MP.
The System-on-Chip is hooked to a 4,040 mAh battery (which recharges over 18W fast charge), 128GB of native storage, and 4GB/6GB/8GB of RAM. The A72 5G uses a side-mounted Oppo thumbprint reader to secure itself. It’ll be available in Simple Black, Oxygen Purple, and Neon Purple editions and is expected to start from Rs. 44,999.
