Oppo announced the Reno Ace flagship with Snapdragon
855+ and 65W charging, but the event also saw the unveiling of the midranger
Oppo K5. This device has a Snapdragon 730G chipset and a 64 MP camera, along
with three more shooters.
The screen of the Oppo K5 is an AMOLED panel with an
underdisplay fingerprint scanner. It’s diagonal is 6.4”, while the ratio is
19.5:9. The front-facing camera is hidden in a waterdrop notch and there is a
slight bezel on the bottom. Otherwise, it is a pretty impressive device and
Oppo promises over 91% screen-to-body ratio.
The back of the Oppo K5 has a slick glass panel and
a quad-camera setup. The main one has a 64MP sensor, and you also get an 8MP
ultrawide camera, a dedicated macro snapper and a depth sensor. If the setup
looks familiar, it is probably because it is the same as on the Realme X2 -
down to the apertures and pixel sizes. Even the battery pack is the same -
4,000 mAh with VOOC 3.0 that allows 30W fast-charging and up to 67% charge for
30 minutes in the grid.
The OPPO K5 comes in Green, Blue and White colors,
is priced at 1899 yuan (US$ 267) for the 6GB RAM with
128GB storage version, 2099 yuan (US$ 295) for the 8GB RAM
with 128GB storage version and the top-end 8GB RAM with 256GB storage version
costs 2499 yuan (US$ 350). These will be available for
order from today and will go on sale in China from October 17th. It is also
offering 100 yuan discount for the first two versions for the first sale.
