Oppo is a brand name that is steadily growing and expanding its base in India. With brilliant specifications in its devices and aided with heavy promotional campaigns, it is soon catching on to the likes of other well established players in the Indian market.
The China-based manufacturer is soon to launch its uber slim device – the 4.85 mm thin Oppo R5 – in India. Touted as one of the world\’s slimmest phones (sadly, the title of the slimmest device went to Vivo X5 Max), the Oppo R5 packs quite a punch when it comes to specifications, and although it does not have flagship credentials to its name, it\’s got lots of potential.

FEATURES THAT STAND OUT
The Slim Oppo R5 brings to the table quite a lot of features as far as the overall aesthetics, design and functionality are concerned.

Generally, slim phones tend to heat up, but the Oppo R5 has been engineered with appropriate materials to dispense the heat effectively.
2. CHASSIS
The R5 comes with a slim profile at 4.85mm, and with an aluminium frame cradled around it, according to Oppo, it has more strength and durability
