Slimness was the whole point of this one. At 4.9mm thick, the Oppo R5 pairs a 5.2-inch AMOLED screen with a body that's noticeably thinner than most phones from its era, and it still comes in at a manageable 155g.

Inside, you get a Snapdragon 615 chipset running eight Cortex-A53 cores split across two clock speeds, backed by 2GB RAM and 16GB storage with no card slot for expansion. That's enough for everyday use but not much headroom if you're a heavy app hoarder. The 13MP rear camera handles autofocus and LED flash duties, plus 1080p video at 60fps, while the 5MP front camera covers basic selfies.

Oppo R5 price in Malaysia starts from RM998. Battery capacity sits at 2000mAh, which is on the smaller side, a trade-off for that ultra-thin design. It runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat and comes in Silver or Gold.
