Introducing the OPPO A5 Pro 5G: Reliability and Performance Redefined

[20 May, London, United Kingdom]–OPPO today launched the A5 Pro 5G in the UK, bringing super durability and reliability to the OPPO A Series with IP69/68/66 water and dust resistance and a Military-Grade Shock Resistance certification. With AI LinkBoost 2.0 and BeaconLink for reliable connectivity, AI GameBoost for smooth gaming, flagship-class AI capabilities, and a 5,800mAh battery fuelled by Flash Charge, the OPPO A5 Pro 5G delivers reliable and long-lasting smart experiences for outdoor adventures, gaming and entertainment.

Premium, Sleek and Classic Design

The OPPO A5 Pro 5G continues the iconic lightweight and ultra-slim design of the OPPO A Series across two stylish colours: Black Brown and Olive Green. With a thickness of just 7.76mm and weighing only 194g, the Black Brown option boasts exceptionally sleek profiles, while the Olive Green edition is just a fraction thicker and heavier at 7.86mm and 196g respectively.

Each colourway is characterised by its own timeless elegance, with a distinct look and feel brought to life through advanced manufacturing processes. Black Brown features a matte texture that is exceptionally soft to the touch, while the vegan leather finish of Olive Green adds a premium texture.

Flagship Waterproofing and Shock Resistance

The OPPO A5 Pro 5G is as durable as it is stylish. Despite its slim and sleek profile, the phone is built with IP69, IP68, and IP66 water and dust resistance¹, providing ultimate durability that exceeds even top flagship standards.

The frame has undergone an optimised waterproofing process to prevent any water inflow. All side openings of the phone are sealed with silicone rings and adhesives to create an airtight barrier, while a dual-layer sealing method combining foam adhesive and dispensing is used to protect critical components.

Together, these steps ensure exceptional water resistance well above its class. The IP69 waterproof rating means the OPPO A5 Pro 5G can be used in and around water with complete peace of mind, surviving everything from a torrential downpour to an accidental dunk. This is further complemented by OPPO's Splash Touch feature, which guarantees smooth operation even with a wet or oily screen, making it a breeze to use the phone when caught in the rain, taking a bath, or while doing the dishes.

The OPPO A5 Pro 5G is not only protected against water and dust but also against everyday drops and scratches. An upgraded double-tempering glass used for the screen cover offers 160% better protection from drops compared with the typical double-tempered glass used on other phones. For the motherboard cover, a AM04 high-strength aluminium alloy frame shields key components, while sponge bionic cushioning safeguards the camera, motor, speakers, battery, and other vital components by absorbing impact upon collision like a miniature airbag.

With its rugged build inside and out, the A5 Pro 5G has earned Military-Grade Shock Resistance certification backed by fourteen strict military-standard environmental tests.²Covering aspects including resistance to high and low temperatures, physical impact, and contamination from external debris, these rigorous tests prove the all-round resilience of the A5 Pro 5G and its role as the perfect phone for outdoor work and adventures.

Flagship Connectivity and Reliable Smoothness

Adding further to the OPPO A5 Pro 5G's reliability is the phone's dependable connectivity. The device features OPPO's latest AI LinkBoost 2.0 technology, ensuring seamless network performance for flagship-level streaming, calling, and gaming. With AI LinkBoost 2.0, the phone's 360° Surround Antenna design enhances signal reception and transmission, while a series of OPPO algorithms specifically fine-tuned for the MediaTek platform use smart scenario detection to switch to the best network cell. Together, these maintain connection stability and speed in areas of weak signal such as crowded malls or elevators.

Even in places with no signal at all, the A5 Pro 5G enables users to stay connected via Bluetooth using OPPO's BeaconLink technology. Upgraded with stronger Bluetooth capabilities, new protocols, and more, BeaconLink now offers one-on-one voice calls at a range of up to 205 meters in open areas with improved stability and clarity.

Tailored for those who work outdoors, the A5 Pro 5G also introduces an Outdoor Mode that optimizes network settings to speed up network access, allocates more network and CPU resources to work apps, and extends screen timeout to aid use on the job. The phone also ensures hassle free operation with various types of gloves, from thick leather to waterproof ones, making it easier than ever for users to access a vast range of phone features without disrupting their workflow.

Equally dependable is the phone's solid performance, which is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 Mobile Platform paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Using OPPO's RAM Expansion feature, the amount of RAM can also be effectively doubled to improve multitasking smoothness. Further performance enhancements come via ColorOS 15, which leverages OPPO's proprietary Trinity Engine to boost system fluency and stability. With these optimizations and more, the OPPO A5 Pro 5G has passed all tests in OPPO's 48-month Fluency Protection ³ certification, ensuring that it maintains smooth performance even after four years of use.

AI-Enhanced Gaming and Photography

Using the latest AI technology, the OPPO A5 Pro 5G delivers slick, immersive gaming and media experiences to elevate mobile entertainment. OPPO's AI GameBoost dynamically optimizes frame rates for different games to deliver an impressive 5-hours of steady gaming. An ultra-effective VC Cooling System featuring 1,100 square millimetres of effective graphite and thermal gel meanwhile ensures that the device stays significantly cooler than other models in its price bracket.

On top of this, the A5 Pro 5G's 1,000 nits Ultra Bright Display ensures crisp visuals even in direct sunlight. Coupled with Dual Stereo speakers and an Ultra Volume Mode that can amplify sound to 300% of its original volume, the device offers an audio-visual experience that fully envelops users in cinematic entertainment.

Guaranteeing all-day use is a 5,800mAh battery with over four years battery lifespan⁴, while support for 45W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge enables the phone to be charged to 30% in around 19 minutes⁵, giving users the stamina to stay in the game without fear of the device dying mid-battle.

As for imaging, the A5 Pro 5G also brings Livephoto feature to this price point for the first time⁶, enabling users to capture every moment in full by recording high-quality video and audio 1.5 seconds before and after the shutter click. The phone's camera system—which features a 50MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera, a 2MP Portrait Camera, and an 8MP Front Camera—is further enhanced with advanced in-built image algorithms plus Portrait Mode and AI Portrait Retouching for high-quality and natural photography. The A5 Pro 5G also features Underwater Photography, enabling users to take vivid and expressive photos beneath the water's surface.

Adding further creativity and convenience to photo editing on the OPPO A5 Pro 5G are flagship AI image-enhancing features including AI Reflection Remover, AI Unblur, AI Clarity Enhancer, AI Eraser 2.0, as well as AI Studio for transforming images into stylish edits and animated GIFs.
