OPPO Kenya has rolled out the A5 Pro, a smartphone built for those who demand durability without compromising on cutting-edge technology.

Designed for adventurers, gamers, and entertainment lovers, the device packs industry-leading IP69, IP68, and IP66 water and dust resistance, along with Military-Grade Shock Resistance certification.

Under the hood, it boasts flagship AI capabilities, a robust 5,800mAh battery with Flash Charge, and a sleek design that blends style with resilience.

Built tough, styled to impress

Breaking away from bulky rugged phones, the A5 Pro maintains OPPO’s signature lightweight and slim aesthetics while delivering superior durability.

It comes in two refined colours—Mocha Brown and Olive Green—measuring just 7.76mm thick and 194g for the Mocha Brown, and 7.86mm thick and 195g for the Olive Green.

Beneath its stylish exterior, this device is engineered for extreme conditions.

The triple-tier water and dust resistance ensures protection from high-pressure sprays, full immersion, and fine dust particles.

Every side opening is sealed with precision, using silicone rings and dual-layer adhesives to create an airtight defence.

The microphone is reinforced with microporous PET technology, ensuring no water seeps in.

The A5 Pro also introduces OPPO’s Splash Touch feature, allowing seamless touchscreen operation even when wet—ideal for use in the rain or while cooking.

Power-packed for performance

Performance is a priority, with the A5 Pro running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon® 6s 4G Gen1 Mobile Platform.

It supports up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, with OPPO’s RAM Expansion feature enabling virtual RAM doubling for smoother multitasking.

ColourOS 15 Lite, backed by OPPO’s proprietary Trinity Engine, ensures long-term fluency, earning the device a 48-month Fluency Protection certification.

For mobile gamers, OPPO’s AI GameBoost dynamically adjusts frame rates for optimal performance, delivering up to five hours of uninterrupted gaming.

The VC Cooling System, packed with 1,100 square millimetres of graphite and thermal gel, keeps the phone cooler under heavy workloads.

The 5,800mAh battery supports 45W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge, reaching 30 per cent in just 19 minutes, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay and streaming.

AI-driven photography and immersive entertainment

Equipped with a 50MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera, a 2MP Portrait Camera, and an 8MP Front Camera, the A5 Pro transforms mobile photography with AI-powered enhancements.

Features like AI Portrait Retouching, AI Clarity Enhancer, AI Eraser 2.0, and AI Unblur make photo editing effortless.

The AI Studio mode further allows users to create animated GIFs and stylised edits with a tap.

For an immersive multimedia experience, the device features Dual Stereo Speakers with Ultra Volume Mode, capable of amplifying sound to 300 per cent of its original output.

Whether gaming or streaming, the A5 Pro ensures high-quality audio-visual performance.
