Exciting news for Oppo fans! The company has just unveiled the A79 smartphone, and it’s shaping up to outdo its predecessor, the A78. Whether we’re talking performance, display, design, or even price, there’s a lot to get excited about. So, let’s see the Oppo A79 price in Pakistan, specs, and features.
Let’s start with its design.
Design
The Oppo A79 rocks a sleek, boxy design. That’s become pretty standard, even for budget-friendly phones these days. It boasts flat sides and fewer curvy corners, giving it that premium feel in your hand. No more pesky notch on the front, it’s been replaced by a neat punch-hole camera cutout. Flip it over, and you Will spot a stylish boxy camera module that adds to its overall charm.

Display
The A79 takes a step up in the display department compared to the A78. It offers a bigger screen, sports Full HD resolution (1080 x 2400 pixels), and rocks a slick 90Hz refresh rate, which is fantastic for gamers. There is only one small letdown, it still uses an LCD screen, so no LED display this time.

| Display type | IPS LCD, 90Hz, 680 nits (peak) |
Camera
When it comes to the camera, not much has changed from the A78. You’ve got a 50 MP primary camera, which is what you’ll be using most of the time. There’s also a 2 MP depth camera to level up those portrait shots. The selfie camera is pretty much the same, and that’s not a bad thing because Oppo is known for its great selfie cameras. But Oppo should remember one thing: ‘Always improve.’

Performance
Here’s where Oppo has put in some work. The A79 is equipped with a Dimensity 6020 chipset, which delivers about 7% better overall performance than the A78’s Dimensity 700. It runs on Android 13 and ColorOS 13.1, promising a smoother user experience.

Features
In terms of features, not much has changed compared to the A78. It is a missed opportunity for Oppo, as there was room for improvement. Things like NFC or an under-display fingerprint sensor (couldn’t without LED display) would have been great, but you will have to look at Oppo’s flagship phones for those.

| Sound | Stereo speakers |
| Connectivity | Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, USB Type-C 2.0, OTG |
| Sensors | Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass |
Battery & Charging
The A79 doesn’t offer any improvements in fast charging or battery size. It is a bit shocking, especially when there are other options in the market with over 50W fast charging support at a similar price point.
| Battery | Li-Po 5000 mAh |
| Charging | 33W wired |
Oppo A79 Price in Pakistan
The Oppo A79 is priced at around $240 (~Rs.66,000) for the global version. Keep in mind that the actual price in Pakistan may vary due to exchange rates and taxes. Also, the A78 hasn’t been officially introduced in Pakistan yet, so the launch of the A79 is still uncertain.
If you don’t want to wait, you can buy other Oppo Phones.
Conclusion
The A79 is definitely an improvement over the A78, especially when it comes to display, performance, and design. But there is still room for growth in the camera, features, and battery departments. The real deal-breaker will be the price. If it comes close to the global price, Oppo enthusiasts might just have a winner on their hands.
