After the Oppo N3 cameraphone, the company unveiled its first 64-bit smartphone, which is coincidentally also its thinnest yet. The Oppo R5 measures just 4.85mm thick, the "slimmest phone in the world," Oppo claims. The company has shaved quite a bit of thickness compared to the 6.3mm Oppo R3. The frame of the phone is made of 3D-welded aluminum alloy. The frame has been hand-polished and measures just 4mm thick. Anyway, the Oppo R5 has a 5.2" AMOLED screen of 1080p resolution (423ppi). The company is promising the best brightness, lowest reflectivity and highly accurate colors. The smartphone is powered by Snapdragon 615, Qualcomm's mid-range octa-core chipset. It features two quartets of 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores, one runs at up to 1.8GHz, the other at 1GHz. The processor is paired with an Adreno 405 GPU. Oppo has created a special cooling element made from liquid-metal and phase-change materials to take heat away from the chipset. The back camera features the 13MP Sony IMX214 sensor, while the front camera is a 5MP shooter. As you can see though, the back camera sticks out quite a bit. Despite being so thin, the Oppo R5 packs a 2,000mAh Li-Polymer battery, which will be quick to top up thanks to the VOOC mini rapid charge tech support. The Oppo R5 will go on sale for $499 though we don't have an exact launch date...
