Design and Display
One thing that is hard to miss looking at the Oppo F5 is how well the display dominates the front. You can see this is an attempt to replicate heavyweights such as Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6. The construction features metal with gold, black or red finish. At 7.5 mm, this is a svelte device. Its weight is reasonable as well at 152 grams.
The LTPS IPS display extends 6 inches across the diagonal length of the phone. It boasts Full HD+ resolution of 2,160 x 1,080 pixels. It has an 18:9 screen ratio that makes for more enjoyable viewing as you’d expect on a TV.
Camera
F-series smartphones are typically marketed at selfie enthusiasts. Although the display is an attention grabber, the story remains the same here. The Oppo F5 packs a high-res 20MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture. It also has a new ‘Al-powered’ enhancer for improving selfie quality.
You should get high quality shots from the 16MP sensor on the rear. This features phase detection autofocus and LED flash. It captures Full HD (1080p) videos at 30 frames per second.
Hardware and Software
Under the hood, the Oppo F5 carries an octa-core MediaTek MT6763T Helio P23 chipset that attends to business at speeds up to 2.5 GHz. The Cortex-A53 processor pairs with a Mali-G71 GPU. Like the Nokia 7, Oppo F5 offers 4 GB or 6 GB of RAM.
Oppo F5 also comes with similar onboard storage of 64GB capacity. There is also a 32GB variant. You will be able to use a microSD card to expand storage by another 256 GB. The phone boots Oppo’s own ColorOS 3.2 software, which is based on Android 7.1 Nougat.
Other Features
With a 3,000mAh battery onboard, the Oppo F5 looks like one to last a day on charge. It carries a fingerprint scanner on the rear and supports USB On-The-Go feature. There is Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi Direct feature for your wireless connectivity needs. The phone works on LTE networks as well.
