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.
