Design for life’s unpredictable moments, the OPPO A5 integrates a number of additional safeguards to further boost its defenses. Critical ports like the SIM tray are protected by silicone gaskets, while the USB-C interface uses a waterproof socket to help stay dry.
Strategically placed foam adhesive and precision-applied glue dispensing are also used to reinforce internal components against vibration and impact.

With its massive 6,000mAh battery engineered to meet the relentless demands of modern, fast-paced life, the OPPO A5 sets a new benchmark in its price segment. Backing this impressive capacity is a centralised-tab battery design developed exclusively by OPPO.
By reducing internal resistance, the design increases charging and discharging speeds, minimizes heat generation, and enhances safety and stability to improve both battery and charging performance.
The advanced battery design also optimizes the use of internal space to allow for a slimmer device profile while improving energy efficiency to extend battery life.
Through these improvements, the OPPO A5 delivers exceptional endurance, allowing users to enjoy up to 16.34 hours of uninterrupted YouTube video streaming, 26.6 hours of voice calls with the screen off, and 450 hours of standby time without worrying about running out of power.
In addition to its ultra-long battery life, the OPPO A5 also comes with a 5-year battery lifespan typically not seen at this price point.
Leveraging a combination of advanced hardware and intelligent software innovations developed in-house by OPPO, the battery is able retain over 80% of its original capacity after 1,700 charge cycles – equivalent to up to five years of optimal battery performance – allowing users to enjoy their device in top condition for years without worrying about replacing the battery.
The OPPO A5 is also equipped with 45W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge technology, a game-changing innovation that transforms the charging experience for entry-level users. The advanced charging technology can charge the OPPO A5 to 30% in 21 minutes and deliver a 100% charge in 84 minutes.
Advanced Tech Empowers Your Smart Life
Through ColorOS 15, the OPPO A5 introduces a series of advanced AI features that help to deliver fluid performance alongside a smarter, more efficient, and more creative user experience.
These include Google Gemini AI assistant, which together help to streamline everyday tasks and boost productivity across a broad range of applications.
On the creative side, the OPPO A5 offers a selection of AI-powered photography features to bring users a more intuitive and intelligent imaging experience.
These work alongside the phone’s 50MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera, 2MP Depth Camera, and 5MP Front Camera – plus creative imaging features like Portrait Mode – to make it easier than ever to capture vivid, expressive photos with greater fun and freedom.
Behind the scenes, OPPO’s proprietary Trinity Engine introduces system-level optimizations to both hardware and software to ensure the OPPO A5 meets all the requirements of OPPO’s 48-Month Fluency Protection certification, ensuring smooth performance and a consistently reliable experience after as many as four years of use.
Seamless Connection and Entertainment Powered by Reliable Hardware
Reliable performance is at the heart of the OPPO A5 thanks to a solid hardware lineup that includes a Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen1 Mobile Platform paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Using OPPO’s RAM Expansion feature, the amount of RAM can be further increased to ensure a dependably smooth experience when running multiple memory-heavy apps.
