Apart from launching the N3 flagship smartphone, Oppo unveiled its first ever 64-bit smartphone, which is also the world's thinnest. The Oppo R5 is now officially "the world's slimmest smartphone". The device hardly measures 4.85mm thick, making it the slimmest phone in the world.

Oppo has created a special cooling element made from liquid-metal and phase-change materials to take heat away from the chipset. The frame of the handset is made of 3D welded aluminum alloy.
