DISPLAY OPPO R5
Display Type OLED display
Display Technology AMOLED
Screen Size (Display Size) 5.2" Better than 60 % of phones rated.
Screen Resolution (Display Resolution) 1920 x 1080 pixels Better than 79 % of phones rated.
Display Format Full HD
Pixel Density 423 ppi Better than 68 % of phones rated.

The screen size reaches 5.2" inches. Phones with smaller displays are easier to use with one hand. The experience is less pleasant compared to phones with large displays. However, if you're buying a phone for basic use and don't want, for example, a good gaming experience or a large screen for watching movies, this size should be good enough for you. Owing to OLED technology, the display offers a true representation of colours, especially black. The resulting contrast is significantly higher and colours appear more vivid. OLED technology is now part of most smartphones, while LCD displays are becoming a thing of the past in mobile phones. OLED displays also have lower power consumption compared to LCD technology.

Display Resolution of OPPO R5 is 1920 x 1080 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. Display´s pixel density is 423 ppi and represents another significant factor affecting image sharpness besides resolution. The higher the value, the sharper the image. Average value is currently about 350-400 ppi, which guarantees a fine and sufficiently sharp image. Finest modern phone displays reach 450 ppi and above.

PROCESSOR OPPO R5
Processor Type (CPU) Qualcomm Snapdragon 615
Clock Speed 1.5 GHz Better than 54 % of phones rated.
Processor Core Qty 8-core Better than 99 % of phones rated.
Graphics System (GPU) Qualcomm ADRENO 405

OPPO R5 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615. The number of processor cores is 8. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications. The processor frequency indicates how many instructions phone can process in 1 second. The higher the frequency, the better the performance. Standard processor frequency range today is between 1.8 GHz and 2.8 GHz. OPPO R5 reaches the frequency of 1.5 GHz.

The processor also includes the graphics accelerator Qualcomm ADRENO 405.

MEMORY OPPO R5
RAM 2 GB Better than 55 % of phones rated.
Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) 16 GB Worse than 53 % of phones rated.

The phone´s internal memory capacity is 16 GB. The size of the internal storage determines e.g., how many photos, songs, movies, or applications you can store on your phone. This memory capacity is ideal for those who have a few basic apps and a few dozen photos on their phone. If you don't expect to use your phone to play games or need to store high-resolution photos, this size should be sufficient. There is almost no probability you're likely to see this low capacity on new smartphones. The standard memory today is around 64 and 128 GB. The best phones have internal memory of 256 GB or more. Luckily, most smartphone manufacturers nowadays offer models with different memory sizes to suit every user.

RAM memory of the OPPO R5 is 2 GB. Most powerful phones currently have an operating memory of 12 GB or more, which is especially useful for demanding users such as gaming enthusiasts. Normally, phones nowadays have 6 to 8 GB of RAM, which means that the phone can easily handle normal operation and more demanding applications. Operating memory of less than 4 GB is found in lower-end phones or older models, and they are suitable for low-end users who don't use demanding applications and have the phone more for basic use.

CAMERA OPPO R5
MAIN CAMERA
Number of Main Cameras 1
Sensor Resolution 13 Megapixel Better than 78 % of phones rated.
Sensor Name Sony Exmor RS IMX214 sensor

FRONT CAMERA
Number of Front Cameras 1
Sensor Resolution (Front) 5 Megapixel Worse than 55 % of phones rated.

The rear camera of the OPPO R5 has only one lens. Single lens is more typical for older phones or lower-end phones with lower quality cameras. The rear cameras of modern phones nowadays are usually equipped with two, three and sometimes even five rear camera lenses. The resolution of the main lens is 13 Megapixel. Higher resolution does not necessarily mean super high quality photos. Furthermore, it depends on the pixel size but also on other important factors. The aperture of main lens reaches F/2.0 value. The best phones have a lens with an aperture of up to F/1.5, where more light can pass through sensor and photos will be of a high quality even in low light conditions. However, lenses with apertures around F/1.8 to F/2.2 are the most common. The lower the number after the slash, the better the photo quality.

Front camera
The front camera of phone OPPO R5 has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The resolution of front lens reaches 5 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is only one of several other significant factors that affect resulting quality of a photo.

BATTERY AND CHARGING OPPO R5
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) 2000 mAh Worse than 52 % of phones rated.
Battery Technology Lithium polymer

The battery size of OPPO R5 is 2000 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day.
