Introducing the A5 Series: Strength Meets Innovation

OPPO has officially launched its latest A5 Series smartphones in New Zealand, with a bold emphasis on durability, performance, and value. This exciting lineup features the A5 5G and A5 4G, designed for users who prioritize reliability in their daily tech.

Durable by Design: Made for Everyday Life

According to OPPO, the A5 Series is perfect for New Zealanders who need robust devices for a variety of everyday situations—from construction sites to outdoor adventures, or even as a reliable first phone for kids. Halim, a spokesperson from OPPO, stated, "Whether you're on the tools, in challenging weather, or buying a sturdy first phone for your children, the A Series delivers great value and durability that lasts."

Both models are crafted to withstand daily wear and tear, featuring splash and dust resistance rated at IP65, while the A5 Pro 5G boasts an impressive IP69 rating. With ergonomic curves and a stylish finish, these phones are built to take on any challenge.

Vibrant Displays and Impressive Camera Features

Each smartphone in the A5 Series offers a large 6.7-inch LCD HD+ display, ensuring an immersive experience. The A5 5G sports a stunning 120Hz refresh rate while the A5 4G maintains a smooth 90Hz. Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the versatile camera systems: an 8MP front camera for the A5 5G and a 5MP for the A5 4G, both complemented by a powerful 50MP Ultra-Clear rear camera and a 2MP depth sensor.

For clear visuals and crisp sound, OPPO has integrated its 300% Ultra Volume Mode, ensuring high-quality performance even in noisy environments like outdoor events or bustling job sites.

Long-Lasting Power and Rapid Charging

Powered by a massive 6,000mAh battery, both models support 45W SUPERVOOC Flash Charging, minimizing downtime and maximizing usage. Remarkably, OPPO's battery technology can withstand up to 1,700 full charge cycles—equivalent to around five years of use—while maintaining over 80% battery health.

In terms of software, OPPO emphasizes longevity with five years of operating system updates, alongside six years of security updates, greatly surpassing competitors who typically offer a mere two years.

Performance That Delivers

The A5 Series doesn’t skimp on performance either. The A5 5G is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, while the A5 4G features the Snapdragon 6s Gen1 chipset. Both phones come with flexible storage and memory options, accommodating up to 6GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage for the 5G model, and 6GB RAM with 128GB storage for the 4G version.

Pricing and Availability: Affordable Ruggedness

New Zealanders can grab the A5 Series at budget-friendly prices: the A5 5G retails for NZD $349, the A5 4G for NZD $299, and the A5 Pro 5G for NZD $499. Additionally, the upcoming A5x variant will be priced at NZD $229, launching in early July.

The A5 Series is now available for purchase online and through official retailers across New Zealand. With these rugged and feature-packed smartphones, OPPO aims to redefine durability in everyday technology!
