Oppo has launched the A5 Pro in China, just eight months after the A3 Pro. This mid-range smartphone offers impressive durability features while sporting a more conventional design.
Design and Durability
The Oppo A5 Pro features a flat frame with rounded corners and a circular camera island on the back. It’s designed with:
- Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on the front
- Oppo Crystal Shield Glass on the back
- 360° drop resistance (up to 1.8 meters)
- Ability to withstand extreme temperatures (-35°C to 63°C), weather conditions and violent impacts
- Triple IP rating (IP69, IP68, IP66) for water and dust resistance
This makes the phone resistant to immersion in water, spills, and high-pressure water jets.
