The Oppo A79 5G boasts a sizable 6.72-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, providing full coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. However, it utilizes an LCD panel, resulting in a peak brightness of 680nits, which is comparatively lower than its AMOLED counterparts. The display is protected by a layer of Panda Glass for scratch resistance, and the device holds an IP54 dust and water resistance rating.
Flipping the Oppo A79 5G reveals a distinctive purple design, particularly striking in the Dazzling Purple variant, although it is also available in the more conventional Mystery Black. The Dazzling Purple model features a textured finish, giving it a feather-like touch. Despite its eye-catching design, the device remains lightweight at 193g and has a slim profile, measuring just 7.99mm thin.
Driving the performance of the Oppo A79 5G is the MediaTek Dimensity 6020, accompanied by 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a capacious 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. For those in need of extra storage space, a microSD card slot is also available. The device comes pre-installed with Android 13, overlaid with the ColorOS 13.1 interface.
To ensure lasting power, the Oppo A79 5G is equipped with a substantial 5,000mAh battery and supports 33W SuperVOOC fast charging, providing a quick and efficient charging solution.
In the photography realm, the Oppo A79 5G showcases a robust camera setup. Its primary camera is a 50MP, f/1.8 lens, complemented by a secondary 2MP, f/2.4 portrait camera. These cameras are housed within a rear camera bump, aesthetically inspired by mechanical watches, featuring a dual dial design and reflective texture. For capturing selfies, the device is equipped with an 8MP, f/2.0 front-facing camera.
Noteworthy features extend to the audio domain, with stereo speakers claiming an impressive 86% increase in volume compared to previous models. The inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack further enhances audio flexibility. Connectivity options encompass 5G support, NFC, WiFi 5, and Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring a comprehensive range of wireless capabilities.
