OPPO has officially launched the A5 Pro 5G in the UK, a new addition to its A Series, known for exceptional durability and reliability. This smartphone boasts IP69/68/66 water and dust resistance and a Military-Grade Shock Resistance certification, making it ideal for robust use. It also features AI LinkBoost 2.0 and BeaconLink for consistent connectivity, AI GameBoost for smooth gaming, advanced AI capabilities, and a substantial 5,800mAh battery with Flash Charge for extended smart experiences.

Design: Premium, Sleek, and Classic

The OPPO A5 Pro 5G maintains the signature lightweight and ultra-slim design of the A Series, available in three stylish colours: Black Brown and Olive Green.

• The Black Brown options are exceptionally sleek, measuring just 7.76mm thick and weighing 194g.
• The Olive Green variant is slightly thicker and heavier at 7.86mm and 196g.

Each colour offers a unique aesthetic and tactile experience:

• Black Brown has a soft, matte texture.
• Olive Green features a premium vegan leather finish.

Unmatched Durability: Waterproofing and Shock Resistance

Despite its slim profile, the OPPO A5 Pro 5G is engineered for ultimate durability, surpassing many flagship standards with its IP69, IP68, and IP66 water and dust resistance.

Key durability features include:

• Optimised waterproofing process for the frame, with silicone rings and adhesives sealing all side openings.
• A dual-layer sealing method (foam adhesive and dispensing) to protect critical internal components.
• The IP69 rating ensures worry-free use in various wet conditions, from heavy rain to accidental dunks.
• Splash Touch technology allows smooth operation even with a wet or oily screen.

Beyond water and dust, the A5 Pro 5G is highly resistant to drops and scratches:

• An upgraded double-tempered glass screen cover offers 160% better drop protection than standard double-tempered glass.
• An AM04 high-strength aluminium alloy frame protects key motherboard components.
• Sponge bionic cushioning acts like miniature airbags, safeguarding the camera, motor, speakers, and battery by absorbing impact.

This robust construction has earned the A5 Pro 5G a Military-Grade Shock Resistance certification, backed by fourteen rigorous military-standard environmental tests that cover temperature extremes, physical impact, and contamination. This certification highlights its resilience for outdoor work and adventurous activities.
