The Oppo Mirror 5 is the new proposal of this company for the mid-range market. A team that looks very attractive designs with glass casing with diamond-shaped pattern. And a number of technical features that leave a good impression. These have a quad-core processor Qualcomm with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory or a good camera to perform selfies. All with the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system and battery 2,420 milliamperes to go without problems a day’s use. At the moment we have no exact release date or price in Europe.
Design and Display
Definitely one of the strongest points of Oppo are the designs of their phones. The company is aware of the huge number of proposals that flood the Android market, and from the beginning has sought to differentiate models that make a difference in terms of shapes and materials. The Oppo Mirror 5 is an excellent example of this effort. And it has been used to manufacture a cover glass. So far nothing new, but the name has a unique finish to generate a drawing of the diamond crystals bonded together. You may like more or less, but the phone has a unique twist that sets it apart from the rest of the competition. Oppo market this model in two colors, one in classic white and one blue.
As for its size, it has got a very thin terminal with a thickness of 7.65 cm. Of course, this delicacy is not transferred to a weight to height, and 160 grams make it a somewhat heavy terminal (although we should not have problems when it comes to handle).
The Oppo Mirror 5 bets for a screen size of 5 inches. This is a format that has already become a standard for many of the midrange terminals market. In this case, this is a TFT panel with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels, which gives a density of 220 dots per inch. The screen is one of the weakest sections of this phone, since most of the teams competing in the same range move with HD resolutions of 1280 x 720 pixels.
Camera
In the photographic section it includes a good pair of cameras. On the one hand, on the back we have a goal 8 megapixel camera with f / 2.2 and flash. This camera has several advanced ways to enhance photos we take, such as a HDR mode when taking pictures in low light, Time-lapse effects to create unique photo compositions or double exposure (among others). In the front of the Oppo Mirror 5 we have a camera with 5 megapixel resolution for selfies we should leave some snapshots of good bill.
Power and memory
In the bowels of the Mirror 5 we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor with 1.2 GHz power, along with a RAM of 2 GB. This set should serve no trouble running the vast majority of apps and games from the Android platform. And with the memory of 2 GB may be open at the same time a greater number of apps and processes without the terminal performance slowdowns. To save our personal files, applications, photos and an internal memory of 16 GB is included. This memory can expand up to another 128 GB through a MicroSD card. Another option to expand space without extra expense is to opt for a system
Operating system and applications
The Oppo Mirror 5 includes the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, with his own interface ColorOS 2.1. The last revision of the Google opts for a more colorful and a streamlined interface with icons that resemble more than ever to the iOS platform. In addition, basic tools like the camera app or tool to switch between open applications have received a good facelift to make it simple and attractive management. It also takes a step forward his voice assistant Google Now, which increasingly has a more refined operation. Anyway, the big blow of authority remains its extensive Android application store, which offers a powerful framework for us to download your favorite applications and customize the phone to your liking.
Connections
Oppo Mobile is compatible with 4G networks with download speeds up to 150 Mb / s and upload speeds of up to 50 Mb / s. In addition, another of its great attractions is the ability to insert two SIM cards of different lines, so that we can unite in a single terminal the personal line and the line of work. The phone has a Micro SIM slots and one Nano SIM card. As you might expect, we also have WiFi technology to connect at home or at a public hotspot. Plus, with Bluetooth 4.0 compliant devices, such as smartphones, some wireless speakers or a smart bracelet synchronized. The connections are completed with GPS with aGPS to navigate with apps like Google Maps or Waze and MicroUSB port to carry the burden of mobile and file transfer with PC.
Autonomy, price and reviews
In the bowels of this phone battery 2,420 milliamperes hides. Although Oppo has no concrete data on the time of use that allows this model, with this power should reach smoothly the day of use without our having to find an outlet available. So far the company has not disclosed the price or release date in Europe, although it should not take long to land. In short, a team that focuses most of its success to a single letter: design. Much finesse as the casing glass diamond shaped pattern will bring a unique touch to the team. Of course, once we get out of this point the technical characteristics are ordinary and there are points where this phone is clearly surpassed by many teams competition in midrange, as Xiaomi Mi4i or Sony Xperia M4 Aqua.
