Oppo A5 Pro goes global with Dimensity 6300 chipset and a 5,800 mAh battery

After launching the Oppo A5 Pro in China back in December 2024, the company is now selling the phone internationally. However, the catch is that the international variant ships with a different set of components compared to the Chinese version. It comes as a successor to the Oppo A3 Pro, which debuted last year globally.

Let’s start with the processor. The Oppo A5 Pro global variant is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, which is further expandable up to 1 TB via microSD card. In comparison, the Chinese variant ships with a next-generation MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor.

Not just the processor, but the global variant's display is also a letdown. The 5G-enabled smartphone features a 6.67-inch LCD display (down from the 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display of the Chinese variant) that outputs at 1604 x 720 p resolution with a peak brightness of 1000 nits and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

For optics, the A5 Pro houses a dual rear camera setup at the back consisting of a 50 MP primary camera and a 2 MP depth sensor, just to fill the gap. There’s an 8 MP shooter at the front for capturing selfies and video chats. Like its Chinese counterpart, the global variant retains the IP66 + IP68 + IP69 water and dust resistance rating.

Oppo's budget-focused phone also packs a 5,800 mAh (down from the 6,000 mAh) battery that supports 45 W wired charging. Other features of the global A5 Pro include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a military-grade MIL-STD-810H certification, and 360° drop resistance. Dimensionally, it measures 184 x 75.3 x 7.76 mm (7.2 x 2.96 x 0.3 inches) and weighs 194 grams (0.42 lbs).

Available in Flower Pink and Mocha Brown colorways, the Oppo A5 Pro starts at NT $7,990 (~$243) for the base 6 GB + 128 GB variant, and the 8 GB + 256 GB model costs NT $9,490 (~$290). It is now available for purchase via Oppo’s official website.˛
