Chinese smartphone maker Oppo has announced the Oppo Reno 5F smartphone in Kenya, spurring rumours of its launch in countries like India too. The device is priced at KES 31,499 (approximately Rs. 20,800) for the 8GB RAM plus 128GB storage option. The device will be sold in “Fantastic Purple” and “Fluid Black” colour options. The Oppo Reno 5F runs on a MediaTek chipset but is expected to make for a solid mid-range smartphone if it comes to India. With phones like the Redmi Note 10 series already live here, Oppo may want to get its device to Indian buyers as soon as possible.
Oppo Reno 5F specs and features
The Oppo Reno 5F runs on the MediaTek Helio P95 chipset, with Oppo’s ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11 out of the box. The phone also has an in-display fingerprint sensor, and as mentioned before there’s 8GB RAM inside, with 128GB internal storage. The phone also has a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 2400×1800 pixel resolution. The display has a 60Hz refresh rate and 135Hz touch sampling rate. You get a 90.8 percent screen-to-body ratio, with 409 ppi pixel density and 800 nits peak brightness.
Furthermore, the phone has a 48MP primary camera on the back, with f/1.7 aperture. The quad camera setup includes three more cameras, with an ultrawide shooter with an 8MP sensor and 119 degree field of view, a 2MP mono sensor for portrait shots, and another 2MP sensor fitted with a macro lens. On the front is a 32MP punch hole camera with f/2.4 aperture, for selfie. The selfie camera is fitted on the top left of the device.
The device is powered by a 4310 mAh battery with Oppo’s proprietary 30W VOOC charging technology. The Oppo Reno 5F will also support 4G LTE connectivity, with WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1 support. You get an USB Type-C port on the bottom, and thankfully, the device also has a 3.5mm headphone jack. The device weighs only 172 grams.
Oppo Reno 5F pricing and availability
As mentioned above, the Oppo Reno 5F is priced at KES 31,499 in Kenya, which translates to approximately Rs. 21,000 in India. That, of course, doesn’t mean that the phone will be priced in the same range if and when it comes to India. Oppo hasn’t clarified when the phone will launch in India right now.
