The Oppo A73 5G proves to be a good 5G phone of the lower mid-range in the test. The performance is okay and the battery is long-lasting. The 90 Hz display has a high resolution and reacts smoothly, but it could be brighter. The camera, which only takes acceptable pictures in good light, is disappointing. For under 250 euros, however, you get a good overall package at an attractive price.

There you go! 5G technology is already available at an online price of around 250 euros.

It is to be expected that top models for over 800 euros will get top marks with superlatives and take off at top speed. But good technology for under 300 euros is an art. And that is exactly what the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite offers. In addition to 5G capability, the test certifies a long battery life and short charging time, fixed operating speed and an outstanding camera quality in daylight...
