About OPPO F5
OPPO F5 is the first smartphone that brings Artificial Intelligence into selfie feature in Pakistan with years of R&D. OPPO F5 comes installed with a 20MP front camera with an ultra-sensitive F2.0 aperture and 1/2.8” sensor. Both features allow the camera to gain more information to produce better images with less noise in low light conditions. And for the rear camera, the 16MP rear camera is excellent for all day and night shots. The F5 will be OPPO’s first 6.0-inch FHD+ full-screen display device, giving the user a vivid visual enjoyment without the need to increase the size of the phone.
The F5 follows OPPO’s streamlined design philosophy – the sleek unibody offers a visually slim appearance without any cut-offs, with a gracefully curved body that fits well in the palm, expressing a simple and elegant look. OPPO’s Color OS 3.2, together with 4G RAM + 32GB ROM memory gives the operating system a much smoother user experience.
According to industry reports (GFK), OPPO is now the No.2 smartphone brand in Pakistan with 17% of market share.
