Oppo F5 launched in Nepal nearly a monthly ago. Since then the smartphone was available in the retail stores. However, the Oppo F5 accessible at the retail stores was in the 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM format. With a view of increasing the memory to store more of your data and to provide assists for the multitasking, Oppo had later brought another variant in Nepal, which came with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. That variant, however, was available only in the Black color.
Now targeting the choosy customers, who prioritize smartphone’s color while buying a smartphone, Oppo has launched yet another variant of the Oppo F5. Amid the journalists and tech bloggers, Oppo took the wraps off of the Red Oppo F5 at Radisson Hotel Kathmandu. The new variant possesses 6GB of RAM coupled with 64GB of onboard storage and no new features except the color. The new Oppo F5 carries a price tag of Rs. 44,990, which is Rs. 11,000 more than the already existing 4GB/32GB variant.

For the price of the base variants, other smartphone brands are already providing 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Xiaomi MI A1, Huawei Nova 2i, HTC Desire 10 Pro, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, etc. can be taken be taken for an instant. If OnePlus 3 is taken into account, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage is readily available for what Oppo F5 is charging for its base variant. So paying the price what Oppo F5 is demanding is evidently stupid.

You can get smartphones that provide superseding specs at the similar price tag. And as the matter of fact, the AI-powered selfie camera is just a gimmick here. The smartphone obliterates the facial details in the name of beautification. Furthermore, the smartphone is quite far off being the best camera smartphone at the price it demands since it lacks the Image Stabilization technology and 4K video recording. In addition, the performance of the camera is inconsistent, which is disappointing at times.
