Oppo’s smartphone family has just been expanded by two new midrange devices, the Neo 5 (2015) and the Neo 5s.

Both models are very much similar, with the exception of processors. The Neo 5 (2015) is equipped with a MediaTek MT6582 chipset, with four Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 1.3 GHz and dual-core Mali 400 MP2 graphics. The Neo 5s, on the other hand, sports a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC, with quad-core, 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and Adreno 306 GPU.

Othee than that, both handsets come with 4.5-inch displays of 854 x 480 pixels resolution, witch is far from impressive (the pixel density is only 218 ppi). Both models are outfitted with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of on-board storage space, expandable by up to 32 GB (Neo 5) or 128 GB (Neo 5s).

Also the cameras are the same – both models feauture 8 MP primary cameras with f/2.2 lens and a LED flash. The front cameras sport a 2 MP sensor and f/2.8 lens. Other shared specs include a 2000 mAh battery as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetoth 4.1 support. Due to processor limitations, the Neo 5 (2015) does not support LTE, while his sibling with Snapdragon under the hood does.

Both new Oppo smartphones run Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Oppo’s own ColorOS user interface on top. No pricing or availability information has been released yet.
