After a faulty Oppo Reno4 Z I returned it to Argos and picked up a Motorola G30 which was awful and faulty. Returned that and picked up the Oppo A74 and what a phone. They make such good phones (settings is awful I agree).
This is the phone I will get, or the even cheaper one. I do not like spending money on phones. I prefer electric guitar stuff, but my old phone is getting OAP geriatric now. I have to wiggle the USB cord to trick it into turning on, because the on switch is knackered. I'll get it after I get my corona shot, because then I will be protected from 5G. :D P.S. The other thing I liked spending money on was building PCs. Then it stated getting a bit pricey, so I went for upper mid range parts instead of bleeding edge, throw money in a hole in the ground stuff. This year GPU prices have gone berserk. Could buy a used car for the price of some GPUs. There is no game in the world I want to play badly enough to pay that kind of money. Not unless they do not screw up the next Elder Scrolls and it is awesome. However, I was a kid when the first Pacman machines appeared and Commodore 64s were new, while we learned BBC Basic programming on Acorn computers at my school in Milton Keynes (I am in NZ now). If MS Bethedsa do not hurry up my bucket day might arrive before TES 6.
I'm curious. Are you seeing much 5G coverage in your area? In the few areas around me the only 5G towers have swapped in 5G instead of 3G modules to make space, so it may actually reduce other coverage on those towers.
I've got surprisingly good coverage around here now, was barren for a while. Still seems quite patchy on the network maps though. I'll be interested to see how much 5G action I get when I start moving about again...
Not much near me unless I am en-route to Manchester. It's manufacturers adding the capability onto devices as a selling point I think more than actual coverage.
Another well presented and in reasonable depth review sprinkled with your usual humour. The phone seems rather bland. One of your other comments pointed out the difference in pricing between here in the UK and in Europe. In Europe it is priced similarly to the recent Poco launched M3 Pro 5G. In many ways it seems similar in specs to that phone but way more expensive here. Another comparison, the Realme 8 5G, is also similarly specced (??? Does that look right to you guys ???) and cheaper. 2 branches of the same group competing for the same market but needing to differentiate in price. For me this is not a contender. Keep up the good work.
Hi, can you please do a video of a unboxing and review of the Oppo A94 5G phone. I would like to know if it's any good. Also between the Oppo A54 5G and Oppo A74 5G. Please let me know. Thank you
@Петар Милошевић thanks, there's not much in the price, and I think oppo has the better reputation. Having said that weirdly the realme 8 5g seems to have worse specs than the realme 7 5g which can be bought for a good price. There's just too many phones out there to choose from now!!
Thanks for the Vidio,,is there a way not to have the mute short cut? As I press it by accident and find my phone on silent, your help will be much appreciated..
I got mine in the post today and upon setup, the fingerprint scanner does work, but it doesn't respond when I tap it to lock the screen or hold it to shut down the phone, is this normal?
I don't know, I have chosen an amoled screen phone by mistake three years ago, but I started to know the pwm issues since last year, so I never use a lcd screen phone. In my opinion, pwm is more serious than blue light!
To be honest, I'm not feeling it's an essential feature right now - not until we start going to really crowded places/events again, where the networks are usually strained
Just me or does everyone else say “and for more on the latest and greatest tech please do poke subscribe and ding that notification bell, cheers” as Chris is saying it
I gotta say the case really saved me from so many falls, BUT, This phone I would not recommend, I've never had a phone that lags and crashes as much as this one! I've closed done apps, Full stopped the apps, restart my phone, Turn phone off, Put it on gamer mode, Off gamer mode, High power for battery, clean it out with their oppo app that's meant to improve the performance.. it's just an ass phone after awhile, The camera is ass most days, The 90hz is good, The battery is top tier.
@@benx_the_fox 2 year old phone doesn’t mean it crashes and literally freezes with no apps open… I bought this phone when it was 1 year old and it had the same issues, they have been doing big fix updates but it’s still ass
Fantastic reviews, awesome wallpapers. But dudes neck and body is so thin that it inspired me to constantly lift weights and bulk up. No mas! I'm never going to look like a skinny geek no matter what technology I love so much!
I'm buying one today I cracked my old phone that I had for 3 years so its time to get a new one currently as of my post they are also giving you free headphones with the phone
yo, bro just wanted to know when the Realme gt neo 5g would be launched. that phone is 2 good and wanted to buy it but don't wanna import it from china so help

Cheers for watching my A74 5G unboxing, full review is going live later today (May 25th), then it's onto...something that's currently embargoed
Does this phone support eSim-card?
Have IR Blaster?
Please, I just want a picture from your mobile phone. I couldn't find it
I have purchased Oppo A74 5G
Oppo a74 Call conference option yes r no
Basics and straight to the point as always. Kudos
Cheers for watching!

Awesome unboxing and hands on review as always bro
Excellent content!

Never too early mate
I love the wallpapers sooo much!!!
Thank u with the information about this phone
L O L, younger days NOKIA 3310 ringtone making😂😂😂 time fly
Oppo looks literally like honor phones
Because both of them are China's brand

I can’t get 4g here in south London, but get 5G, very odd!!

Ok I got the phone now tell me where I can get the wallpapers
THAT WALLPAPER HELLO
Been loving budget phone reviews :D. Anyway can you review vivo v21 5G?
Holy mother of Christ were is the battery chapter and how quickly will it charge !!!!!
Watching this on my new A74 5g😁

Great videos Chris, keep up the good work.
Unrelated, but I would like to know you opinion:
Mi11 for £799, or 1+9pro for £829?
Cheers!
Bro just look at which one you prefer even tho the 9 pro is better
What's better out of this and the reno4 z 5g?
Why it has snapdragon 480?
How're you get it? ???
Nice review
How much please
Looks good but advice pls.. Realme 8 5g or the A74??
@Петар Милошевић thanks, there's not much in the price, and I think oppo has the better reputation. Having said that weirdly the realme 8 5g seems to have worse specs than the realme 7 5g which can be bought for a good price. There's just too many phones out there to choose from now!!
Hello I have a question is the camera of Oppo a74 5g better than the camera of xioami redmi note 10 5g ? photo and videos
it's basically the samsung a32 without promised updates
1:18 rubber johnny case
That was awesome
Ok iknow what will i buy now
You say touch wood alot! 😁
I didn't knew sd480 was that capable processor. I underestimated them because 460 and 450 weren't good at all.
Adreno 619 blew my mind
Thanks for the Vidio,,is there a way not to have the mute short cut? As I press it by accident and find my phone on silent, your help will be much appreciated..
Easily my favourite as it lasted precisely as long as it took for me to do my daily poo.
I’m sure there’s an award for that.
is the phone frame (sides) metal or plastic like the back?
where do you get you wallpapers?
It's really good one
where can i get those anime wallpapers
I got mine in the post today and upon setup, the fingerprint scanner does work, but it doesn't respond when I tap it to lock the screen or hold it to shut down the phone, is this normal?
This vs a Samsung A52 5G; which would you choose??
I would choose the Samsung A52 over this
Oppo and Realme is very popular here in the Philippines!!
I love the lcd display with no pwm issues !
It’s hard to tell it’s not amoled even as contrast very good
I don't know, I have chosen an amoled screen phone by mistake three years ago, but I started to know the pwm issues since last year, so I never use a lcd screen phone. In my opinion, pwm is more serious than blue light!
Who else is watching this on a OPPO A74 5G?
I feel bad when I am looking at my Smartphone and I don't have 5 G. Guess I might have to grab one of these phones right here. cheers ! Great Review
To be honest, I'm not feeling it's an essential feature right now - not until we start going to really crowded places/events again, where the networks are usually strained
@@TechSpurtwell that makes sense... but once I need a new phone it should have 5 G because normally you have a phone for at least 2 years
If you install CPU z it shows that the processor is an SD 750g. Do you think it's just an error?
Just me or does everyone else say “and for more on the latest and greatest tech please do poke subscribe and ding that notification bell, cheers” as Chris is saying it
Oppo a74 ha Always on display?
Does the Oppo A54 5G or A74 5G have a notification light? or option for screen to light up when notification received?
Why are your followers not increasing?
What sim size?
