OPPO A78 5G’s India launch date has been confirmed. The new A-series phone is scheduled to debut on January 16th, 2023. The company has also released a poster of the A78 to showcase its rear design.
To recall, OPPO unveiled the OPPO A77 5G in Thailand in June 2022. However, it wasn’t released in India. Hence, it will succeed the OPPO A77, which debuted in August 2021. While the A77 was a 4G device, its successor edition will support 5G connectivity. Here is a look at what to expect from the upcoming A78.

The OPPO A78 5G can be seen sporting flat edges with a side-facing fingerprint scanner. The back panel of the phone seems to have a matte finish. However, there is a glossy portion extending from the camera module. The first camera ring houses a primary camera, whereas the second one has an auxiliary camera and an LED flash.
The fine print towards the bottom of the poster reveals that the OPPO A78 5G has a 5,000mAh battery. It also mentions that the device is equipped with 8GB of extended RAM. Tipster Mukul Sharma has shared the key details of the device. As per a recent report, the device is likely to be priced at Rs 18,500 or Rs 19,000.
