Oppo A5 price in Malaysia starts from RM618, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 450 chipset paired with 3 or 4 GB RAM and a choice of 32 or 64 GB storage, expandable further via microSD up to 256 GB. The 6.2-inch IPS LCD display runs at 720 x 1520 resolution with a 19:9 ratio, which is standard fare for this price bracket rather than anything sharper.

Camera-wise, you get a dual rear setup: a 13 MP main lens with autofocus alongside a 2 MP depth sensor for portrait shots, plus an 8 MP front camera for selfies. Video tops out at 1080p30, so don't expect 4K recording here.

Battery capacity is where the A5 stands out a bit for its class, a 4230 mAh non-removable cell that should comfortably get most users through a full day. It ships with Android 8.1 Oreo under ColorOS 5.1, and comes in Blue, Pink, or Red.
