Oppo A5x 5G: Oppo’s new budget range smartphone debuts with Dimensity 6300 SoC

Oppo has launched a new sibling in its A5 lineup, the A5x 5G. Oppo packs a decent set of features into its new budget-range smartphone. The 5G-enabled device features a 6.67-inch LCD display that outputs at 1604 x 720 pixels resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. It comes with MIL-STD certification and is IP65 rated. 

This time around, Oppo went with the MediaTek chipset. The device is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset paired with 4 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage, which is further expandable up to 1 TB via microSD card. Like its 4G counterpart, the smartphone retains the same 32 MP primary camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies and video chats. 

Software-wise, it runs Android 15-based ColorOS 15 out of the box, and there’s no word on software support from the brand, indicating the software updates may never arrive. A 6,000 mAh battery powers the internals and supports 45 W wired charging. Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, WiFi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Dimensionally, it measures just 7.9 mm in thickness (0.31 inches) and weighs around 193 grams (0.42 lbs). 

The Oppo A5x will be available from May 25 in India through Oppo India’s official website and Amazon, with a choice between midnight blue and laser white colorways. Oppo offers a single 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant for INR 13,999 (~$165).
