After the Oppo N3 cameraphone, the
company unveiled its first 64-bit
smartphone, which is coincidentally also
its thinnest yet. The Oppo R5 measures
just 4.85mm thick, the "slimmest phone in
the world," Oppo claims. The company
has shaved quite a bit of thickness
compared to the 6.3mm Oppo R3.
The frame of the phone is made of 3D-
welded aluminum alloy. The frame has
been hand-polished and measures just
4mm thick. The other measurements are
148.9 x 74.5mm (that's rather tall for a
5.2" device) and the weight is 155g.
Anyway, the Oppo R5 has a 5.2"
AMOLED screen of 1080p resolution
(423ppi). The company is promising the
best brightness, lowest reflectivity and
highly accurate colors.
The R5 will launch with Android 4.4-
based Color OS 2.0. It's powered by
Snapdragon 615, Qualcomm's mid-range
octa-core chipset. It features an octa-
core Cortex-A53 processor at 1.5GHz,
which is paired with an Adreno 405 GPU
and 2GB RAM.
Oppo has created a special cooling
element made from liquid-metal and
phase-change materials to take heat away
from the chipset.

The back camera features the 13MP Sony
IMX214 sensor and an f/2.0 aperture,
while the front camera is a 5MP shooter.
As you can see though, the back camera
sticks out quite a bit. Anyway, it can
record 2160p video at 30fps and 1080p@
60fps, plus a 120fps slow-motion mode
(at 720p).
Despite being so thin, the Oppo R5
packs a 2,000mAh Li-Polymer battery,
which will be quick to top up thanks to
the VOOC mini rapid charge tech support.
Connectivity starts off at 2G GPRS and
goes up to TDD/FDD LTE. There's also
Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0.
There's one thing missing - a 3.5mm
audio jack. We suppose it's because the
R5 is so thin, but you either have to use
the wireless O-Music accessory for
streaming or a microUSB to audio jack
adapter (one is included in the retail
package).
The Oppo R5 will go on sale for $499
though we don't have an exact launch
date yet. But you are welcomed to check
our first impressions of the Oppo R5 right

Hmm

better a little more thickness with at least a 4000mah battery for the Nigerian market.

Space for sale, just five naira (#5) but still negotiable.

Hope this one ll not bend inside pocket like iphone 6....

Very soon,they'll start to make smart phones that look like atm card

The battery stinks to the heavens. They should throw in a power bank as well.

Let a lady express her love to me by buying me this phone..
