The Oppo A98 5G is a solid argument against buying flagship smartphones.

This phone costs only $649 in Australia, and it performs better than devices that are much more expensive..

The foundation of that performance is its exceptional battery life. Oppo has put a lot of R&D into batteries over recent years, and it shows here. This mid-range phone can deliver a couple of days' worth of battery with average use.

It also offers Oppo’s SUPERVOOC fast charging technology, which will fully charge your device from flat within 50 minutes.

Couple that battery with a great screen and a decent camera, and you have all the makings of a winning device.
