OPPO has released its latest A Series lineup, the A5 range, in New Zealand, with a new wave of smartphones built for durability, performance and outstanding everyday value. Combining unbeatable resilience, smart features and polished design, the A5 Series makes high-performance essentials accessible to everyday users, without the premium price tag.
The expanded A5 Series includes the OPPO A5 5G and A5 4G, two feature-rich devices made for daily life. They join OPPO’s toughest smartphone to date, the A5 Pro 5G – which launched in June – in offering Kiwis more choice when it comes to durable, dependable tech.
OPPO New Zealand Managing Director Morgan Halim says the A Series range is for Kiwis who need a good-value phone that works as hard as they do. “Whether someone’s on the tools, outdoors in all conditions or buying a reliable first phone for their kids, the A Series is a dependable, great-value choice that’s made to last,” says Halim. “It’s built to survive backpacks, pockets and the occasional drop – and it keeps up with your hustle, whatever your day looks like.”
Built for life’s everyday challenges
The A5 5G and A5 4G are engineered to handle more than just the basics. With large, high-refresh-rate displays, splash and dust resistance and OPPO’s 300% Ultra Volume Mode, these phones are made to be heard and seen clearly – even outdoors or on noisy job sites. Rated as IP65 water and dust resistance for added protection, IP69 on the A5 Pro 5G.
Optics:
• A5 5G: 6.7″ LCD HD+ 120Hz – A5 4G: 6.7″ LCD HD+ 90Hz
• 8MP front camera (A5 5G) and 5MP front camera (A5 4G), 50 Ultra-Clear Rear Camera + 2MP Depth Camera on both
Power to keep going
With 6,000mAh batteries across both models and support for 45W SUPERVOOC. Flash Charging, users can spend less time plugged in and more time getting things done. OPPO’s battery technology has been tested for 1,700 full charge cycles, equivalent to approximately five years of regular use, while maintaining at least 80% battery health. It’s power that lasts day after day, year after year.
And because durability should extend beyond hardware, the A5 Series is backed by OPPO’s industry-leading software support – with 5 years of operating system updates and 6 years of security updates. It’s long-term peace of mind that sets a new standard in this price bracket, especially compared to competitors who typically offer only 2 years of updates or less.
Smart, seamless performance
These devices are made to move at your pace. They offer practical, efficient performance for everything from messaging and music to maps and media.
