Oppo R5 is now available to buy in India at Rs. 29,990

Oppo’s ultra-thin smartphone, Oppo R5, is now available to buy at major retail stores across India with a price tag of Rs. 29,990.

The Oppo R5 comes with a 5.2-inch full-HD AMOLED display that supports 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution. It also offers a pixel density of 423ppi for better picture and video quality. It is powered by 1.5 GHz Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939) processor along with 2GB of RAM and Adreno 405.

This device has two cameras. In its rear, it has a 13-megapixel camera with other features including Sony IMX214 sensor, f/2.0 aperture, LED Flash, Schneider lens etc. It has a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for taking selfie and video calling.

The Oppo R5 runs on Color OS 2.0 (based on Android 4.4 KitKats). The user can use only a single Micro-SIM and it has 16GB internal memory which is non-expandable. The main attraction of this smartphone is perhaps its 2000mAh battery with VOOC charging technology. It is said that with the help of this new technology, user can charge the battery from 0 to 75 percent in around 30 minutes.

It features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS/ EDGE, TD LTE, LTE FDD, and Micro-USB as data connectivity options. It does not have 3.5mm audio jack onboard. So, in order to listen to music or any kind of audio, customer will have to use the bundled Micro-USB as a convertor of 3.5mmm audio jack adapter or the wireless O-Music accessory.

With a measure of 148.9x74.5x4.85mm and 155 grams weight, it was the slimmest smartphone in the world until the launch of Vivo X5Max,which is just 4.75mm thick.
