This is on top of the rumoured f/1.6 20MP selfie camera and a host of new ambassadors as well. Rumours also say, there will be 3 variants including the OPPO F5, F5 Youth and F5 6GB RAM version.

So this just came in, in a short announcement, OPPO has revealed that Dilireba Dilmurat (迪丽热巴) is the new ambassador for the upcoming OPPO F5 selfie smartphone. Besides that, instead of the initial two Selfie Icons that was teased, it was also revealed that OPPO Malaysia also recruited five more celebrities which are Yoga Lin (林宥嘉), Eric Chou (周興哲), Fattah Amin, Neelofa, Ayda Jebat and Min Chen.

So good news to all the O-fans today, we just received confirmation that the OPPO F5 will be officially launched on 2 November 2017. Not only that, three Malaysian Chinese celebrities will be joining the OPPO celebrity team - an ambassador and two selfie icons! No names were revealed, but you can join OPPO Malaysia's new contest on guessing them.

As confirmed by OPPO Malaysia on its Facebook page, the OPPO F5 will be coming to Malaysia soon. However, we also happen to get a tip (thanks, random guy on the Internet) that in the Philippines (the device's first debut on 26 October 2017), another smartphone will accompany the F5 and it'll be called the F5 Youth.

Just today, we have some official confirmation from that the OPPO F5 will be coming here, to Malaysia along with other Asian countries.
