Product details

It's time to break with the usual curved design. Sleek, streamlined, and feather-light, this could be Oppo's handiest case yet. The OPPO A73 5G is the perfect blend of form and function.
We've integrated a fingerprint scanner into the power button for extra easy unlocking. Of course, when you pick up your phone, your finger lands exactly where it's supposed to. Choose between brilliant rays on a neon-colored surface or a jewel-like translucent blue-black. The OPPO A73 5G has a color for you. With its built-in 5G modem, your 5G experience can take you anywhere. And once you're using the full power of 5G, you'll be glad you have enough space to store everything it brings you. The OPPO A73 5G charges quickly and lasts all day. Super Power Saving Mode stretches that last drop of energy further, and Sleep Standby Optimization conserves battery while you sleep. All the better to see Incredible clarity, instant responsiveness, silky smooth animations and a wide field of view - what more could you want from a screen?

The Oppo A73 5G proves to be a good 5G phone of the lower mid-range in the test. The performance is okay and the battery is long-lasting. The 90 Hz display has a high resolution and reacts smoothly, but it could be brighter. The camera, which only takes acceptable pictures in good light, is disappointing. For under 250 euros, however, you get a good overall package at an attractive price.
