As expected, Oppo today launched the R5 smartphone in India. Oppo R5 is touted among the slimmest smartphones in the market right now.

 

The smartphone, which just measure 4.8 mm in terms of thickness, beats the Gionee Elife S5.1, which was holding the Guinness world record of being the thinnest phone in the market. At just 4.75mm, Vivo's X5Max is currently the thinnest smartphone in the world.

Software-wise, Oppo R5 will ship with ColorOS 2.0, which is based on Android 4.4 KitKat operating system (OS). It's unclear whether the device will be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop in the near future.

Notably, there's a 2000mAh battery fitted inside, and the device supports VOOC charging technology that is said to charge the battery from 0 to 75 % in around 30 minutes.

Other connectivity options on the smartphone include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and Micro-USB. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5mm audio jack onboard, and users will have to use the bundled Micro-USB to 3.5mm audio jack adapter.
