OPPO A5/A5 Vitality Edition to Launch March 18th, Featuring IP69K Waterproofing at a Budget Price!

OPPO officially announced that the A5/A5 Vitality Edition will launch on March 18th at 2:30 PM. The biggest highlight is the inclusion of IP69K waterproof certification across the entire lineup, with the official slogan being "Budget phones deserve IP69K waterproofing." This highly anticipated budget phone will be available in three colors: Cloud Mica Blue, Diamond Gold, and Glacier Black. Pre-orders are currently open, with storage options including 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB.

According to official pre-launch information, the OPPO A5/A5 Vitality Edition adopts a popular right-angled frame design. Notably, the two models differ slightly in their appearance; the camera module is centrally positioned on one and left-aligned on the other. Previously, an OPPO phone model PKQ110 received TENAA (China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) certification on January 9th, with photos revealed, and is widely believed to be the OPPO A5. TENAA information shows the OPPO A5 measures 161.5774.477.65mm and weighs 185 grams. It features a 6.7-inch 1080P OLED display, an 8MP front camera, a 50MP main rear camera + 2MP secondary camera combination, a large 6330mAh battery, and a processor with a 2.2GHz main frequency. However, the official specifications and pricing for the A5 series remain unannounced, with further details expected at the launch event.

Beyond the OPPO A5/A5 Vitality Edition, leaks and rumors surrounding the OPPO Find X8 Ultra and Find X8S continue to build anticipation.

The camera specs for the OPPO Find X8 Ultra have been revealed. It features a new hardware configuration, starring a one-inch main camera sensor, expected to be the Sony IMX900. Additionally, it will boast two 50MP periscope telephoto lenses, using the Sony IMX906 and IMX882 sensors respectively, supporting 3x and 6x optical zoom, with a maximum sensor size of 1/1.56 inches. The ultrawide angle lens will also receive a minor upgrade, employing the Sony IMX882 sensor and enhanced hardware and algorithms for improved distortion correction and high-spec video recording. A dedicated camera button will also be included.

Meanwhile, the OPPO Find X8 Ultra Satellite Communication version (model PKU110) received 3C certification from TENAA on February 28th, signifying completion of the three major certifications needed for market release.

Regarding other specifications for the Find X8 Ultra, digital blogger @DigitalChatStation previously revealed it will feature a 2K ultra-narrow four-sided straight screen, 3D single-point ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, dual periscope telephoto lenses with 3x and 6x apertures, a dual-cell 6000mAh battery (supporting 100W wired fast charging), a thickness of "8.xx" mm, IP68/69-rated water and dust resistance, and a custom vibration motor. Later, OPPO Find series product manager Zhou Yibao retweeted this, confirming the battery capacity will be "a little bigger" than 6000mAh, thus exceeding 6000mAh, and hinting that the OPPO Find X8 Ultra will officially launch in April.

In terms of appearance, Zhou Yibao also revealed a new color scheme for the OPPO Find X8 Ultra, showing a pink, white, and blue gradient effect. A "white body/black camera" color scheme will also be available. A 24GB RAM version will not be launched, but a 1TB storage option will be offered.

Another highly anticipated model, the OPPO Find X8S, according to the digital blogger @DigitalChatStation, will feature a smaller 6.3-inch screen and will be the thinnest and lightest in its size class, with a thickness of less than 8.15mm (estimated at 7.xxmm) and a weight of less than 187 grams. It will have ultra-narrow bezels of less than 1.38mm. A large-capacity battery with a capacity exceeding 5700mAh is expected. The Find X8S will come standard with the Hasselblad imaging system, wireless charging, and waterproofing. The OPPO Find X8S has passed the national 3C quality certification with model numbers PKT110 and PLB110, both supporting 80W wired fast charging.

In summary, OPPO will launch several new products in April, including the OPPO A5/A5 Vitality Edition, OPPO Find X8 Ultra, and OPPO Find X8S. These new models demonstrate OPPO's strength in technology and design across various price points, showcasing comprehensive upgrades in waterproofing, imaging, performance, and thinness. The actual performance of these new phones remains to be seen. For detailed specifications and pricing, please follow OPPO's official announcements.
