Coming soon: Slimmest smartphone Oppo R5 at around Rs 25,000

Oppo R5 runs on an octa-core Qualcomm MSM8939, and comes with a 5.2-inch AMOLED screen.

The Oppo R5 will be available in India soon. The smartphone is expected to be priced in the range of Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000. The Oppo R5 has surpassed the Gionee Elife S5.1 smartphone which was listed in Guinness Book of World Records as the thinnest smartphone in the world at 5.1 mm. The R5 is so thin that it doesn’t have a regular 3.5 mm headphone port. Users will have to rely on their Bluetooth earphones or connect via an adapter.

The R5 runs on an octa-core Qualcomm MSM8939, and comes with a 5.2-inch AMOLED screen. It comes PI 2.0 Plus Flash Shot technology which delivers 50MP high-definition picture clarity. Built with steel and designed with a micro-arc frame, the R5 comes with the VOOC mini rapid charging system and claims a 30-minute charge will provide 75% battery, and a five-minute charge allows for a two-hour call.
