The most important design trend of the year 2017 is the long screenOPO has done something similar with its latest smartphone F5. This smartphone has a 20-megapixel front camera
Whether you like it or not, the most important design trend of the year 2017 is the long screen. It is not easy to use curved glass for every company. The metal body is expensive, but the expenditure is not high enough to make the display panel bigger. In the beginning of the year, Samsung and LG launched their flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6. They were the first smartphone of this year to come up with the big screen. But after this we got to see this feature also in Micromax Canvas Infiniti of Budget Range. Many mid-range phones also want to capitalize on the popularity of this feature. Oppo has done the same with its latest smartphone Oppo F5. The design of this phone also dominates the company's F-Series special front cameras feature.
There is nothing shocking in it, because this change is obvious. Most people will be attracted to the phone due to this feature at first glance. Whether you like any feature of this phone. But we'll test it on every scale.
Oppo F5 design
Companies that have started offering large displays with 18: 9 aspect ratios, they miss out on making a phone with a totally non-border border. OPPO F5 is also one of these. There is no equal material on the edges. But due to the review unit being white, the remaining materials appear to be clean. The upper and lower part of the display still reminisces the old phones. Part of the front camera is next to the earpiece.
We do not like this strategy of companies who already have plastic screen protectors with the phone. This is good for customers because they get a break from buying a screen protector that fits them. But according to us it spoils the look of the phone. "Borderless" effect is lost somewhere due to the extra line of plastic. Something similar happens with the OPP F5.
The rear part is of gold, it is also matte with metallic texture. Sometimes it looks pink, depending on the light. The bright chrome ring is on the edge of the phone, where the metal back and white color panel meets. The phone also has an iPhone 7 style antenna line. Generally, this phone is quite good to look, but according to our opinion this phone will look better in black.
On the right side you will find a dual sim tray with the power button. At the same time, the volume buttons are on the left side. There's nothing other than Mike Pinhole on top. At the same time, the bottom part is a bit full. Here you will find 3.5mm audio socket, micro-USB port, mic and speaker grill. It is easy to reach the existing fingerprint sensor on the back. Regrettably, the rear camera is gorgeous and its metal edge is a bit rough.
Oppo F5 with 7.5 mm thick looks slim and weighing 152 grams is not too much. Due to the texture of the rear part, there is no problem in holding the phone in hand. Due to the screen size you will not be able to reach every corner of the display with your thumb. The phone's screen is too big. But the experience of using is good.
Oppo F5 specification and software
The distance from one side to the other edge of the screen is 6 inches. But there is no duality in it that it is very compact compared to the old fashioned tablet. Its resolution is 1080x2160 pixels. This is due to the fit-fit of the 18: 9 aspect ratios in full-HD resolution.
The MTech 6763T processor has been used in the phone, which was recently launched. The clock speed of the processor is 2.3 GHz. Mali G71 MP2 GPU integrated for graphics is integrated. In OPPO F5 the user will be able to use only one sim 4G network. Apart from this, if you change the position of the SIM, then the phone is rebooted repeatedly which is troublesome.
Oppo F5 is now down with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB of storage. The company has reported that in December, 6 GB RAM and 64GB storage variants will also be dropped. It is worth noting that variants of 6 GB RAM will be available in black and red colors.
Other specifications include 3200 mAh battery, 16 megapixel rear camera, 20 megapixel front camera and separate microSD card slot. For connectivity, dual band Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS are available. We were disappointed to see the micro-USB port. Apart from this, phones do not support fast charging.
