Massive Battery, Smooth Display & 5G for Under ₹14K? Meet the OPPO A5x 5G!

OPPO has officially rolled out its latest budget-friendly 5G smartphone — the OPPO A5x 5G — and it’s turning heads with its impressive features at a surprisingly affordable price. Priced at just ₹13,999 (around PHP 9,000), this phone delivers strong performance, a vibrant display, and a massive battery — making it a serious contender in the budget 5G space.

✨ Smooth & Bright Display

The OPPO A5x 5G comes with an LCD display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring ultra-smooth scrolling and responsive touch. It also offers a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, which means you can comfortably use the phone even under direct sunlight.

What really makes the display stand out, though, is its Splash Touch and Glove Touch technology. This means you can use the screen even if your fingers are wet, oily, or covered — perfect for real-world use where conditions aren’t always ideal.

⚙️ Solid Performance with MediaTek Dimensity

Under the hood, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. While it’s not a flagship chip, it’s more than capable of handling everyday tasks, multitasking, and light gaming with ease.

Out of the box, the OPPO A5x 5G runs ColorOS 15, based on the latest Android 15, giving users access to new features, improved privacy, and a smoother UI experience.

📸 Decent Cameras for Casual Photography

In the camera department, the A5x 5G features a 32-megapixel rear camera, which should be enough for clear daytime shots and casual photography. On the front, there’s a 5-megapixel selfie camera — modest but functional for video calls and basic selfies.

🔋 Monster Battery with Fast Charging

One of the phone’s biggest highlights is its massive 6,000mAh battery. This ensures all-day usage, even with heavy tasks like video streaming, social media, or gaming. And when it’s time to charge, the 45W wired fast charging kicks in to get you back to full power quickly.

💪 Durable Build with IP65 & Military Grade Protection

Durability is another strong point. The OPPO A5x 5G comes with an IP65 rating, making it resistant to dust and water splashes. It’s also MIL-STD-810H certified, which means it’s built to withstand tougher environments — a big plus for users who need a rugged everyday phone.

🎨 Stylish Color Options

The device is available in two eye-catching colors: Midnight Blue and Laser White, giving it a clean and modern look that suits all styles.
