China’s Oppo has finally started to bring its Oppo R7 Plus phablet, launched in China in May, to other markets, starting with Southeast Asia.
The Oppo R5s is the updated version of 2014’s R5, and while the R5s has some improved internals, it’s managed to keep its waistline the same 4.85mm thickness that last year’s R5 offered.
The Oppo R5s smartphone has been listed by the company’s Europe site and bears a price tag of Euro 199 (which goes to around Rs 15,000). The RAM has been bumped up to 3GB and while there isn’t a microSD card slot, the storage capacity has increased to 32GB. It has been revealed that the device will be “coming soon on August 25”. Also, it comes with 32GB in-built storage, double of what R5 had.
The new device will come equipped with a 13MP rear camera with Sony IMX214 sensor and LED flash along with a 5MP front facing camera. Some of their innovations integrated in smartphones include the motorized rotating camera on the Oppo N3 and they have also been focusing on making better hardware designs for their products, which can be seen on the back of the Mirror 5. Moving on to the software, it runs on Color OS 2.1 based on Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box. The Oppo R5s measures 148.9×74.5×4.85mm and weighs 155 grams.
Connectivity choices on the smartphone embrace 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and Global Positioning System.
