The major highlight of the F5 is the 18:9 full-screen design as well as the AI-powered beautification features coupled with a large 20MP selfie camera.

All the teases and leaks come to an end today as the OPPO F5 has now been officially launched. The OPPO F5 is the first full-screen smartphone from the top Chinese manufacturer. However, instead of unveiling it in its home country, it has done so in the Philippines.

OPPO F5 Design

The OPPO F5 is a sleek device that will surely turn heads. It doesn’t have glass on both sides but the finish is nothing short of impressive.

One of the highlights of the design is the 0.4mm laser thin antenna line carved using vacuum radium technology. It looks good on the gold and black unit but is better appreciated on the red variant.

OPPO F5 Specs

The OPPO F5 has a 6.0-inch LTPS TFT display with a 2160 x 1080 (FHD+) resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio. It is the same screen size as the OPPO F3 Plus but won’t feel like a behemoth in your hand thanks to its reduced bezels which brings the height to 156.5mm (compared to the F3 Plus’ 163.6).

The F5 is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P23 SoC. There are two memory variants – 4GB RAM +32GB ROM and 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM. Both versions have a dedicated MicroSD card slot for up to an additional 256GB storage.

Under the metal back of the OPPO F5 is a 3,200mAh battery. All that shaving off as to give away something, right? There are two nano SIM slots, dual band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2.

The OPPO F5 comes with the new ColorOS 3.2 based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat. It brings new features such as O-Share – a wireless transfer technology between OPPO devices; gaming DND; Night Shield which lets you choose between normal, warm, and black and white modes so your eyes are protected; and face unlock.

OPPO F5 Cameras

The OPPO F5 packs impressive camera specs. The highlight is the 20MP AI Beauty selfie camera. The AI Beauty enhances more than 200 facial features to make sure that those selfies turn out better than you can imagine.

The F5 can also detect the scene of the picture to determine the luminance it adds to your photos by differentiating between the different background lighting conditions. The F/2.0 aperture and 1/2.8” sensor can also take pretty nice portrait images with bokeh effects as well as bright pictures in low-light conditions. Below are camera samples taken with the selfie camera.

The rear camera is a 16MP F/1.8 sensor. It has a small bump and there is a LED flash on its right. OPPO has also provided camera samples.

After a series of leaks related to Oppo‘s upcoming smartphone — Oppo F5, we now have a leaked promotional video of the device. It seems that the video is promoting the selfie camera on the phone.

The promo video of the device, which has been leaked on Instagram, features Indonesian stars Chelsea Islan and Raline Shah. They are seen talking about their perception of beauty.

At the end of the video, it shows the slogan “Capture the real you” and the date November 13, which we are assuming is the date on which the Oppo F5 will go on sale.

After seeing the phone in the video, it seems that the previous leaks related to the Oppo F5 were accurate. The smartphone is expected to come with a metal build design.

Recently, it was reported that the Oppo F5 will launch in three versions — the standard F5, F5 6GB and F5 Youth.

The Oppo F5 will come with 4GB RAM and will be available in Gold and Black colors. The Oppo F5 6GB will come with 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM, in Red and Black colors, while the Oppo F5 Youth will have a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and will come in Gold and Black color options.

Apart from these changes, all the remaining specifications are expected to be same. It will feature a 6-inch Full HD+ display with screen resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and 18:9 aspect ratio.

There will be a 16-megapixel snapper on the back of the device, while the front will have a 20-megapixel camera, except for the F5 Youth edition. The leaked video also reveals that the Oppo F5 will come with an oval fingerprint on the back.

Apart from the promo video, the phone’s retail packaging has also been leaked. On the box, the front panel of the phone reveals thin bezels around the display. The back panel is shown in two different colors — Red and Black.

Just below the phone’s front and back panel, there is a listing of three variants of the phone — F5, F5 6GB and F5 Youth.

The OPPO F5 will come with a 6-inch FHD+ display. It will have 6GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage along with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 mobile platform.

Previous leaks said the phone will have a single 16MP front facing camera and a 20MP rear camera. The new leak says otherwise. Instead of a single front facing camera, the OPPO F5 will have two 12MP cameras. The rear sensor remains 20MP.

Other specs mentioned include a 4,000mAh battery, micro USB port, 3.5mm audio jack, dual band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2. It will also run Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. The leak says the phone will also ship with a pair of earphones.

OPPO F3 and R11/R11 Plus are the major smartphones that the company has released so far in this year. The Chinese manufacturer will be launching OPPO F5 to succeed the OPPO F3 on Oct. 26. Fresh information suggests that the company is also working on enhanced versions of OPPO R11 and R11 Plus. The rumor mill has leaked the alleged schematics of OPPO R11S/R11S Plus.

The above image reveals that the OPPO R11S and R11S would be sporting a full screen design with an elongated display. This indicates that the R11S duo would be delivering an aspect ratio of 18:9. These phones are expected to feature 6-inch Samsung OLED screens that will support QHD+ resolution of 2,880 x 1,440 pixels.

The OPPO R11 and R11 Plus feature front-mounted fingerprint reader. However, the R11S and R11S Plus are expected to be enabled with rear-mounted fingerprint reader as these devices will not have enough space to feature it on the front, thanks to the large-sized display.

Some rumors had claimed that the OPPO R11S and R11S would be coming with dual selfie cameras, but the above schematics shows that it may feature they will be housing a single selfie snapper. The rear view of the design of OPPO R11S/R11S Plus suggests that they appear very similar to the OPPO R11/R11 Plus.

Even though the above schematics of the R11S/R11S Plus phones show the presence of a headphone jack, speculations claim that it may not feature a 3.5mm audio jack. The bottom side of the phone also features a USB-C port.

The original OPPO R11 and R11 Plus are powered by Snapdragon 660 chipset. Speculations have it that the OPPO R11S will be fueled by Snapdragon 660 and the R11S Plus will be an advanced model with Snapdragon 835 and 6 GB of RAM present inside it. The Snapdragon 801 driven OPPO Find 7 from 2014 is the last flagship phone. Since then the company has mainly focused on releasing mid-range devices. Hence, the OPPO R11S is unlikely to feature the Snapdragon 835 SoC. The dual camera system fitted on the OPPO R11S and R11S Plus is speculated to include 0.9μm 24-megapixel Samsung S5K2X7 sensor as one of the lenses.

The Chinese sources have also revealed that the OPPO R11S may arrive with a pricing of 2,999 Yuan (~$455) in China. The advanced R11S is speculated to cost 3,499 Yuan (~$531) in the country. The company may unveil the OPPO R11S and R11S Plus on Nov. 2.

Oppo is all set to launch its latest F series smartphone, Oppo F5. The company has announced the launch of the phone on October 26 through a post on its Philippines Facebook page.

As with Oppo‘s other recent launches, this one too is a selfie-centric smartphone. The teaser posted on the Facebook page carries the tagline “F5: Capture the real you”.

Recently, a promotional video of the phone was leaked, which revealed a 6-inch bezel-less display with 18:9 aspect ratio and a metal unibody design. Another leak, which shows the Oppo F5’s front panel, suggest that the phone could sport dual front cameras.

Previous leaks related to the smartphone indicates that it will be powered by Snapdragon 660 SoC. It is expected to have 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of onboard storage. From the leaked photos, it appears that the fingerprint sensor has been placed on the back panel — right below the camera module.

As of camera, the report suggests a 20-megapixel rear camera and 16-megapixel dual front-facing cameras. The phone, which is the Oppo F3 successor, will carry a large 4,000mAh battery.

The Oppo F5 was also featured in a video by ABS-CBN Lifestyle magazine. It showed a number of models taking selfies with this new smartphone, revealing its design. The posters of the device were also spotted in SM Megamall in Metro Manilla.

The phone is said to be the design inspiration for the upcoming OnePlus 5T smartphone, at least for the front panel.

In May, OPPO had unveiled the OPPO F3 selfie-centric smartphones with dual front-facing cameras. The Chinese manufacturer seems to be prepping up on a successor phone for OPPO F3  as a promotional image of OPPO F5 has surfaced.

As it can be seen in the above image, the poster of the OPPO F5 features a Filipino actor named Alden Richards. In the other image, a Filipino singer Sarah Geronimo can be seen endorsing the smartphone. The promotional posters were spotted at the SM Megamall in Manila, Philippines. The OPPO F5 can be seen in red and black colors.

The image suggests that the OPPO F5 is equipped with a single camera on its rear panel. Like the predecessor phone, the OPPO F5 sports dual selfie snappers. Hence, the phone is dubbed as “Selfie Expert” and it also carries the text “Capture the real you” which suggests the selfie snapping prowess of the smartphone. It is likely that the smartphone may come with advanced face beautifying features.

By the way, what happened to OPPO F4? Well, many Chinese smartphone makers prefer to skip the number 4 from the moniker of their devices because it is considered as a bad omen. Hence, it is likely that the company may not launch a OPPO F4 phone.

In the above Instagram video, the Philippines brand ambassador of the company can be seen showing off the OPPO F5 phone. The rear panel of the smartphone features a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner that is surrounded by a golden ring. The OPPO logo below it has a golden hue.

The predecessor OPPO F3 phone has a front-facing fingerprint reader. The probable reason behind incorporating the biometric security feature on the rear panel is OPPO F5 could be housing an elongated display. This could be reason why it does not house a fingerprint sensor on the frontside.

It appears that the OPPO F5 has a 6-inch display that supports a full HD+ resolution of 2,880 x 1,440 pixels and produces an aspect ratio of 18:9. Other specifications of the smartphone are under the wraps.

Since the Chinese manufacturer is openly advertising in Philippines, the OPPO F5 is pegged to launch in October. The company is going to open an OPPO shop at the aforementioned mall in the next month. The inauguration of the smartphone is speculated to coincide with the arrival of OPPO F5.

The post Oppo F5 Appears in Real; Launching in October? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO, seems to have a new smartphone launching soon based on these images from The Philippines. Posters of an OPPO F5 were seen at the SM Megamall.

The posters don’t reveal the specs but we can see it will come in black and red, will have a single rear camera and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Filipino singer, Sarah Geronimo and actor, Alden Richards are the two brand ambassadors for the phone.

Sources say the OPPO F5 will have a 6-inch 18:9 display with a FHD+ resolution. It is also expected to have dual front facing cameras.

You might be wondering why this is the F5 since the last phone in the F series is the F3. The reason is not far fetched and the same reason why there is no OnePlus 4. The number 4 is considered unlucky as the Chinese word for it has the same pronunciation as the Chinese word for death. Not all manufacturers believe this though – Xiaomi and Huawei are the examples that come to mind.

Aside the posters spotted at the mall, a yet-to-be opened OPPO store was also seen. The store is shown covered in OPPO’s signature green color with an October 2017 date, possibly hinting at when it will be open to the public.

OPPO seems to have a couple of new smartphones in the works which would hit the market soon. That is if the rumor emanating from the Philippines is anything to go by. A pair of OPPO smartphones named OPPO F3 and F3 Plus were recently spotted in an ad poster somewhere in the Philippines.

In case you don’t know, the Philippines is one of OPPO’s stronghold as the Chinese brand is very popular in the country. The smartphones’ names mean they belong to the F-series which are better known by the alias “Selfie Expert”. But this time around, the F3 and F3 Plus looks set to take that selfie expertise of the F-series to a different plane, with the poster indicating that they would pack dual selfie cameras.

Another interesting fact gathered from the poster is the presence of South Korean singer G-Dragon who seem to have endorsed the smartphones. Apart from the picture of him holding who should be one of the two smartphones, his autograph and name are also crested onto the poster. G-Dragon and his band, the Big Band are popular in the Philippines, so the likelihood of all these being real is big.

OPPO’s previous antecedent when the R9 Plus was spotted in a poster inside an airport in China long before it was announced perhaps further lends credence to the chances of these being real. We hope to see more details especially on the specs and launch date, in the coming days.
