Under the hood, the OPPO A78 5G is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset coupled with 8GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage that supports further expansion via a microSD card.
To keep it’s lights on, the OPPO A78 5G is backed by a respectable 5,000mAh battery which carries support for 33W fast wired charging. Software-wise, the phone will be shipped with ColorOS 13 based on Android 13 OS.
