Recently the Oppo R5 lost the title of the slimmest smartphone in the market to the Vivo X5 Max. However, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is determined to prove that its smartphone is not all about a thin profile. In a recent advert released by the company, the Oppo R5 was subjected to a number of stress tests which includes smashing a watermelon, cracking nuts, using the device as a hammer to put a nail into a wooden block, and even running a car over it. Not only did the phone survive despite its ultra slim profile but it also remained scratch less throughout the video.  Oppo also took a slice at Apple, by starting off the video with the R5 chopping an Apple in half. Apart from the ultra-slim yet solid built quality, the Oppo R5 features high-end tech specs. It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB memory. Other tech specs include a 13MP rear camera capable of recording 2K videos, 5MP secondary camera sensor, 5.2 inch Super AMOLED 1080p display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection and 2000mAh Li-Polymer non-removable battery. It runs on Android 4.4.4 Kitkat OS with Color 2.0 UI on top of it. Check out the video below for yourself:

Initially thought to be the OPPO N3 Mini, the super thin OPPO R5 smartphone recently got it's official announcement alongside the OPPO N3. While it isn't 4mm thin exactly as originally reported, it is 4.85mm thin, making it the current world's thinnest smartphone. Utilizing a 3D-welded aluminum alloy frame, hand-polished to shiny perfection, the OPPO R5 measures in at 148.9 x 74.5 x 4.85mm and 155g. The overall design is flat and thin while the rear camera protrudes out. Other tech specs include a 64-bit 1.5GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 procesor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a 5.2-inch AMOLED display with full HD 1080p resolution, 13MP rear camera with Sony IMX214 sensor and f/2.0 aperture along with a 5MP front camera. Features include 120fps slow motion video at 720p and 2160p video record (2K) at 30fps. Somehow, OPPO have managed to pack in a 2000 mAh battery while also offering 4G LTE and a fast charging VOOC mini rapid charger. The smartphone works with OPPO's O-Music accessory for media streaming partly because it does not feature a 3.5mm audio jack. No Malaysia release dates or pricing yet but it is expected to retail at $499 (RM1640).
