Oppo launched the ‘red edition’ of its Oppo F5 6GB smartphone in the domestic market on Monday. The phone, powered by 6GB RAM, comes with a price tag of Rs44,990. Oppo had previously launched the black edition of the Oppo F5 6GB smartphone. It had also introduced Oppo F5 Youth smartphone.

Launching the ‘red edition’ of Oppo F5 series, Oppo Nepal CEO Bobby Zhao said: “We are really honoured with the overwhelming love and support from our customers as well as stakeholders for our recently launched flagship model Oppo F5. The response has encouraged us to bring the best to Nepali customers.” The F5 series of Oppo’s smartphones come with FHD+ full screen display, featuring artificial intelligence beauty technology that is designed to “beautify selfies”.

Oppo F5 is equipped with a 20MP front camera. The front shooter features a bright F2.0 aperture. The company claims that the front camera is able to produce images with less noise in low light conditions. The front-camera’s portrait mode also applies a bokeh effect to the background. This subtly blurs the background area around the subject of the selfie, says a press statement. Oppo has installed a 16MP camera on the rear with F1.8 aperture. The F5 sports a 6.0-inch FHD+ display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and has 18:9 aspect ratio.

The F5 comes with ‘facial unlock’ feature, the face recognition technology that will recognise its user and unlock the phone. Oppo has also added fingerprint unlock function if the user prefers to use the fingerprint reader.

Powering the Oppo F5 is an octa-core CPU to handle smartphone operations from speedy surfing to continuous chats and eager gaming with ease and has an internal storage of 32GB. The Oppo F5 comes with a triple slot tray that supports two nano SIM cards plus one microSD card.

This allows users to expand the phone’s storage by up to 256GB. Talking about the software, users will be greeted with Colour OS 3.2-a brand new design interface based on Android 7.1.
