Oppo F5 Review Bezel-Less Design At Rock Bottom Costs
Oppo’s F-series has been the epitome of selfie-focused smartphones in the mid-budget segment and now with the launch of Oppo F5, the company is ready to make well-packaged smartphones, it’s bread and butter.
The successor of Oppo F3 has done away with a fingerprint scanner at the front in favor of the 6-inch virtually bezel-less 18:9 display while the said sensor now finds its place at the rear panel. As far as the design is concerned, it’s hard to come with any major flaws with the Oppo F5 as it is the culmination of all the leading design themes. It has a unimetal body design made out of 7000 series aluminum alloy, curved edges, a big screen with minimum bezels, all resulted in a sleek design.
But is it enough to take on the likes of Lenovo Z2 Plus, a lower-end LG Q6 with a bezel-less display, Moto G5S Plus and the Xiaomi A1, all of which feature some of the best spec-sheets in the segment? Let’s See!!
