OPPO F5 continues the company's 'Selfie Expert' pitch with
AI monuments to enhance your self. It also retains the latest trend of long
display with an 18: 9 aspect ratio, which is a trend that has become mainstream
in 2017, even for the budget smartphone.
The OPPO F5 does not pack into top-of-the-line
specifications for that price, but it aims to impress customers with their
power to wrap them in their chassis.
The design:
From the far side, the OPPO F5 metal Unibody from the back
looks like a smartphone, but in fact, when it is seen nearby it is plastic. It
has a light weight, and, with only 7.5 mm thickness at 152 grams, it is quite
manageable to use and handle despite long performance. OPPO F5 also creates
significant ergonomic for the use of one hand on the circular edges.
The previous camera tries a little bit but it is not a
showstop, because when it goes backwards, the phone does not rotate.
On the front, there is not much laughter. The display stays
on the trim of plastic and does not merge into the body uninterrupted, which
spoils the design. Apart from this, the OPPO claims that the phone plays
side-of-the-corner display from the edge, yet there is enough bezel on top and
bottom and a troubled black border around the display.
The F5 comes with a plastic screen protector, affixed, which
is good for most people who like screen protection, but as soon as I took the
smartphone out of the box, I removed it. The side of the screen protector
creates another line on the display, which gets distracted and also raises the
scuff and the mist.
The blue color version of OPPO F5 clearly shines and looks
really smooth, and I really recommend you choose it over black or gold. There
is also a fancy red version but it is only available for 6 GB + 64GB memory
version.
Display:
The OPPO F5 plays a bright 6-inch Full HD + display with a
18: 9 aspect ratio. The taller display works well with the phone's ergonomics
and provides an immersive experience especially when watching videos or playing
games.
The display claims crisp and shiny colors. Bright display
makes for good sunlight and the viewing angles are also very good.
Display
Moving forward with our OPPO F5 review, the phone is powered
by the MediaTech MT 6763 T Octa-core processor, which was added with 4 GB RAM.
This setup is definitely not for those who want raw performance. In its value
section, F5 will not affect you with its specification, and this is not the
same which the OPPO is going anyway.
F5 was launched with a 4 GB version that packs into 32 GB of
storage, but now has another version with 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. While
extra storage is never a pain, but premiums pay for that extra bit, considering
a modest processor does not make much sense.
The F5 performs well enough for everyday tasks. Multitasking
is smooth, and the UI does not feel lazy at any time while opening several apps
in the background. It is said, as it is expected, it fights with
graphic-intensive games on high graphic settings. Altogether, OPPO F5 is a
capable artist if you do not raise it too much.
The OPOPO F5 comes with a 3,200-mAh battery which lasts the
entire work day on heavy use, which is good for a phone with 6-inch display.
Although the lack of fast charging is frustrating, and it takes about two hours
to charge the phone from zero to 100%.
Hardware:
For a smartphone at this price, the MicroUSB port you get on
OPPO F5 is disappointing. I would have liked the USB Type-C with support for
faster charging.
The fingerprint sensor on the back has been slightly
stretched and kept well. Authentication is quick, and seamless almost all the
time.
The camera
This gives us the main part of the phone's marquee feature
and our OPPO F5 review. OPPO was one of the first brands to validate the
growing trend of brands and has offered many capabilities in AI-backed
enhancements with beauty facilities in its own focused smartphone.
OPpo F5 has a 20 MP front camera with an F / 2.0 aperture.
Front camera highlights are AI-based face recognition technology. The OPPO
claims that the technology scans approximately 200 positioning points on your
face and then raises the face of the face. For example, Crisper Joulein and
well defined Galbona. It also automatically judges background light conditions,
so that your pictures have the proper brightness.
Aside from the technical specification, F5 on F5 takes some
great selfies. The picture taken in the case of good light is crisp, the color
reproduction is very good, and occupied shots are rich in details. In low
light, there is a definite dip in image quality, but still most volunteers are
good enough to share on Facebook or Instagram and share the likes. In some
shots, however, in the background objects are not reproduced well, which looks
strange.
Front camera also tries to emulate the Bokeh effect through
some software magicians like Google Pixel 2. In my experience, there were shots
in several shots, but were still quite good for normal social media sharing.
Artificial depth effect is one thing, but one that many people will adopt.
While the front camera gets full attention, the 16 MP rear
camera with F / 1.8 sensor is not a slot. In good daylight situations, with
good information and vivid colors, photos are very good. However, in low light,
it struggles to a great extent and crawls quite a lot. Still enough details and
low light images are worth to pass.

Software
Oppo F5 Android 7.1 runs the company's proprietary UI layer,
ColorOS at the top of the navigates. ColorOS is a heavy themed, yet there is
quite a polished skin that takes liberal inspiration from iOS. This is a shock
to anyone coming from stock Android, but, like most Android optimizations, it
grows on you.
