Oppo has released the Oppo A77 5G smartphone that offers a stylish design, an impressive camera system and a long-life battery and a price tag under $500.
It will be available in two versions – 4GB RAM with 64GB storage ($449) and 6GB RAM and 128GB storage ($499).
The device has a 6.56-inch 90Hz screen with a resolution of 1612 x 720 and up to 600 nits of brightness.
It has a sleek design with straight edges and a thickness of just 7.9mm.
And despite its narrow design, the Oppo A77 5G is also durable after undergoing more than 130 reliability tests and more than 320 quality tests to make sure the device can handle the real-life day-to-day wear and tear.
Part of this testing was dropping the smartphone 28,000 times from a height of 10cm on all sides and 32 drops from 1m.
The device has an IPX4 rating to make it water resistant and safe to use it in all weather conditions.

The other strength of the device is its battery life and the A77 5G has 33W SuperVOOC charging technology along with a 5000mAh battery which can be fully charged in just 68 minutes.
And a quick five-minute charge is enough to offer one and half hours of YouTube video streaming.
