With a thickness of only 4.85 mm , the Oppo R5 is probably the thinnest smartphone you'll be able to buy. Anyway, the R5 could not keep this title for a long time, since rumor speculates that Vivo, another Chinese manufacturer of smartphones, plans to unveil a device with a thickness of only 3.8 mm.
In addition to being incredibly thin, the Oppo R5 will also have an appealing hardware platform . The device features a 5.2 inch AMOLED screen with a Full HD resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels, and ensuring a pixel density of 423 ppi. Under the hood, the octo-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 gives rhythm to the smartphone. This is a 64-bit chip with eight cores Cortex A53 clocked at 1.5 GHz and coupled to a graphics chip 405 Adreno.

Connectivity side, the R5 has 4G Class 4 (150 Mb / s), Wi-Fi b / g / n, a GPS chip, Bluetooth 4.0 or DLNA.
Unfortunately, with a thickness of 4.85 mm, the Chinese manufacturer had to make some concessions, and various limitations appear . First, the device is too thin to have a 3.5mm jack, so that engineers Oppo decided not to integrate. You will need to use a Bluetooth headset or audio micro-USB adapter. Second, the battery is only 2000 mAh, which is quite small for a smartphone with a full HD screen of 5.2 inches. Not sure it is able to hold a full day. Finally, there is no port to insert a micro SD card, so you'll need to settle for 16 GB internal.

It measures 148.9 x 74.5 x 4.85 mm and weighs 155 grams, and is equipped with Android 4.4 KitKat, coupled with the famous overcoat ColorOS 2 Oppo.
