Verdict The Oppo A78 5G is another budget phone that boasts great battery life and decent performance even if the 720p display is a little soft. Much like the TCL 40R 5G, it shows that you don’t have to break the bank for a solid phone, even one with 5G connectivity. Pros All-day battery life […]
Verdict A phone all about style and selfies that does not come across as shallow or vapid. However, you do end up paying quite a lot for what you get. Power is poor for the money, there’s no 5G and no Google apps. It has its charms but the Huawei Nova 11 Pro doesn’t get […]
