Oppo has a new budget smartphone in China, the Oppo A5, which succeeds last year’s A3. The company is skipping the A4 model as the number four is considered unlucky in China.

The biggest upgrade on the A5 is its AMOLED display—a 6.7-inch Full HD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s also a 10-bit panel with 1200 nits of peak brightness, protected by Oppo’s Crystal Shield Glass. That’s a solid step up from the A3’s IPS LCD display, which had a lower HD+ resolution and 1000 nits of brightness.

The company has also upgraded the 5MP front camera to 8MP, while the rear camera setup remains the same, featuring a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP secondary lens.

A bigger battery, but the same charging speed

The A5 also packs a bigger battery, jumping from 5100mAh to 6500mAh. The charging is the same at 45W, but despite the bigger battery, the phone still manages to stay relatively slim at 7.65mm and 189 grams.

Under the hood, the A5 is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, paired with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Unfortunately, there’s no microSD card slot, so you’re stuck with the built-in storage.

On the software side, the phone runs ColorOS 15 based on Android 15. It also features NFC for contactless payments and an IP69 rating, meaning it’s well-protected against dust and water.

Oppo A5 pricing and availability

The Oppo A5 comes in three colors—Diamond Pink, Mica Blue, and Zircon Black—and in four storage configurations:

• 8GB RAM + 128GB storage – 1,299 yuan (~$180)
• 8GB RAM + 256GB storage – 1,499 yuan (~$210)
• 12GB RAM + 256GB storage – 1,799 yuan (~$250)
• 12GB RAM + 512GB storage – 1,999 yuan (~$280)

The official teasers of the Oppo A5 and A5 Vitality Edition suggest that these devices will arrive with IP66/68/69 ratings and start at 1,000 Yuan. Both phones are already listed for pre-orders through the online Oppo store in China.

Oppo A5 variants, colour options, and specifications

The official listing of the Oppo A5 reveals that it will be available in multiple configurations: 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB. It will be available in black, blue, and pink shades. This phone is believed to be the Oppo PKQ110, which was recently approved by the TENAA authority in China.

The TENAA listing suggests that the Oppo A5 5G will feature a 6.7-inch OLED FHD+ display and house a 6,500mAh battery with 45W fast charging support. It is likely to feature the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset.

Like the A5 5G, it retains the same camera configuration: a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 2-megapixel secondary lens, and an 8-megapixel front camera. With a thickness of 7.86mm and a weight of 196 grams, it will be slightly bulkier than the A5.

The post Oppo A5, A5 Vitality Edition to launch on March 18, here’s variants, color options, specifications appeared first on Gizmochina.

An unknown Oppo phone has been listed on TENAA. Bearing the model number PKQ110, this device is expected to be the vanilla Oppo A5.

For the unaware, the Oppo A5 Pro made its debut in China on Christmas Eve. It is a budget 5G smartphone with some unique features, such as an IP69 rating, a silicon-carbon battery, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

The TENAA listing for the alleged Oppo A5 not only discloses its design but also some of its specs.

The handset will arrive with flat sides and a squircle camera module. The volume and power keys will sit on the right side.

The listing images show the product in violet. However, it should be available in other colors.

On the front, the device will sport a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED screen and an 8MP selfie camera. While its back will include a 50MP main camera camera assisted by a 2MP secondary sensor.

The phone will be powered by an unnamed chipset featuring a 2.2GHz CPU. It will be available in 8GB/12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB storage variants.

The smartphone will measure only 7.65mm in thickness and weigh 185g. Yet, it will pack a huge 6,330mAh battery (rated capacity). The phone could come with a silicon-carbon battery like its bigger sibling.

Unfortunately, this is all the TENAA listing has to say about the forthcoming Oppo PKQ110. The listing does not confirm it to be Oppo A5. But there’s a high chance of it being one, given its similarities to the A5 Pro in terms of looks as well as specs.

We look forward to learning more about this product in the coming days as we near its launch. If it’s indeed the Oppo A5, it should cost around ¥1500 (~$200) or more.

The Chinese manufacturer has also slashed the price of OPPO A5 by Rs. 1,000 (~$15).

OPPO K1

The OPPO K1 that comes with a glass rear with gradient finish features a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with Dewdrop notch. It carries support for full HD+ resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The display is embedded with an in-screen fingerprint reader.

The OPPO A5 is a mid-range phone with a notch and dual rear cameras. It launched in India last year in a single variant with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. OPPO has now released a new variant with double the storage.

The new variant retains all the specs of the 32GB version but has 64GB of built-in storage. As expected, it also costs more – ₹12,990 (~$188). To be honest we see no reason why you will want to buy this as the Realme U1 (4+64GB) offers much more (save for a smaller battery) and costs less – ₹11,999 (~$175).

The OPPO A5 has a 6.2-inch HD+ 19:9 display with a wide notch at the top for the selfie camera and speaker. It is powered by the Snapdragon 450 processor and there is support for storage expansion.

The back of the phone is home to dual cameras – a 13MP f/2.2 primary sensor and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. The front-facing camera is an 8MP f/2.0 sensor with support for Face Unlock and AI Beauty 2.0. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The A5 runs ColorOS 5.1 based on Android 8.1 Oreo and packs a 4230mAh battery. It has a pretty nice feature called Music Party which allows your friends to connect to your hotspot and play the same song your phone is playing.

The post Oppo A5 with 6.2-inch 19:9 display and dual rear cameras announced appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few months ago, OPPO had launched the MediaTek Helio P60 powered OPPO A3 smartphone in China. According to a reliable tipster, the Oppo A3s is an upcoming smartphone the company. It specs are similar to the OPPO A5 that is expected to debut soon in China. It is speculated that the same smartphone will be made available as OPPO A3s outside of the home country.

OPPO A3s Specifications and Features

Leaked information has revealed that the Oppo A3s will be coming with a 6.2-inch IPS LCD screen that will offer HD+ resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels. Since the display of the phone produces an aspect ratio of 19:9, it will be equipped with a notched screen.

The Snapdragon 450 SoC that features a 1.8 GHz octa-core processor is likely to drive the A3s smartphone. As of this writing, there is no information on the RAM and storage capacity of the smartphone. It will be arriving with ColorOS 5.1 based Android 8.1 Oreo. The handset features a dedicated slot for adding a microSD card.

The rear panel of the OPPO A3s of will be featuring f/2.2 aperture 13-megapixel + f/2.4 aperture 2-megpixel dual camera setup. On the frontside of the phone is an 8-megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture. The handset is packed with a 4,230mh battery. Its dimensions are 156.2 x 75.6 x 8.2mm and it weighs 168 grams. The Oppo A3s will be available in color choices like Purple and Red. The launch date of the A3s is under the wraps.

A new Oppo affordable phone is going to be launched soon: it is called Oppo A5 and it has just hit TENAA for its official certification. Besides certifying the device, the Chinese regulatory agency has also revealed the renders and the main specs of the upcoming phone. Judging from its specs sheet, it is similar to the Realme 1, that is the first phone from the first company’s sub-brand. That is why the handset is expected to be launched in the Indian peninsula with a similarly affordable price tag. Thanks to the renders, we can see the first difference from the Realme 1 in its design.

It does not sport the same diamond-like finish and has a simple blue backplate. The dimensions are 156.2 x 75.6 x 8.2 mm and the display has a 6.2-inch size, a notch and an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels. Instead of the MediaTek Helio P60 SoC, Oppo A5 has a lower-end Snapdragon 450 by Qualcomm which is currently the most powerful from the Snapdragon 4xx line-up, but still a low-end chipset. It will be released in two configurations which will offer 3 or 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage.

While the hardware side is worse than the Realme 1 on the paper, the camera seems to be more advanced. The Oppo A5 has a dual camera configuration with resolutions of 13 and 2 MP, with a secondary sensor able to capture depth information. The selfie camera has an 8 MP resolution, while the battery has a whopping 4100 mAh capacity. Given that this phone has a display with low resolution and a very efficient SoC, we expect this battery to be very long-lasting. Unfortunately, there is not a fingerprint reader to unlock the phone, so it will probably have a facial recognition feature, even though it should not rely on hardware sensors to get 3D info.

Full specifications and official renders of an upcoming mid-range OPPO device have leaked online. The OPPO A5, based on the renders and specs will also join the notched display train.

The device has a 6.2-inch 1520 x 720 display. Although there is a notch at the top, the phone still has a bit of bezel at the bottom too. Under its hood is a Snapdragon 450 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The OPPO A5 has dual rear cameras – a 13MP sensor paired with a 2MP sensor for depth of field. It also has an 8MP sensor nestled within the notch in front.

[envira-gallery id=”198716″]

There is Android 8.1 Oreo on board along with a 4230mAh battery. It doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner, so face unlock is probably available. The phone’s dimensions are 156.2 x 75.6 x 8.2mm.

Official renders show the phone has a polygon design on the back and appears to be covered in glass. We have seen this design on some of OPPO’s recent offering including the India-exclusive Realme 1.

Based on the photos, it will come in two color variants – blue and pink. It will also have a 3.5mm audio jack and a micro USB port at the bottom. The price wasn’t revealed but based on the specs and OPPO’s recent move to offer cheaper phones, we guess it will be priced around the $150 mark.
