OPPO has unveiled its latest affordable 5G smartphone — the OPPO A5 5G — in India. The new model aims to offer a balanced mix of durability, large battery life, and smooth display performance, following last month’s launch of the A5x 5G.
Big Display with Smooth Visuals
The OPPO A5 5G features a 6.67-inch HD+ LCD screen that supports a 120Hz refresh rate, making daily use feel smooth, whether browsing apps or playing casual games. With up to 1000 nits peak brightness, the display remains visible even outdoors. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, offering better resistance against minor scratches and drops.
Built to Last: Military-Grade Durability
What sets the A5 5G apart is its tough body. The phone comes with MIL-STD-810H certification, which means it has been tested against tough conditions like heat, moisture, and shocks. It also carries an IP65 rating to handle dust and light splashes of water.
The body of the phone uses reinforced glass and a metal alloy frame, offering better protection against accidental falls. OPPO says this build offers 160% more impact resistance compared to its earlier A3 5G model.
Performance and Battery
The device runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip, paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. There is also support for expandable storage using a microSD card up to 1TB. The phone operates on the latest ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, delivering an updated software experience.
One of the main highlights is its large 6000mAh battery, designed to last well through a full day. The included 45W charger helps top up the battery quickly — getting to 30% in about 21 minutes and 50% in around 37 minutes. OPPO claims the battery can maintain over 80% health even after 1,700 charging cycles, which means the battery should remain reliable for years.
Camera Setup
For photography, the phone offers a 50MP main rear camera, supported by a 2MP secondary sensor for depth. On the front, there’s an 8MP camera that’s suitable for video calls and selfies.
