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, creating a subtle background blur around the subject of the selfie, reads a press release. Oppo has equipped a 16MP camera on the rear with F1.8 aperture.

The F5 comes with Facial Unlock, 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 with 4GB of RAM 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.

Pricing for the Oppo F5 Dashing Blue limited edition has not been confirmed by the company but it is expected to be similar to the variants currently available in Nepal.
