Today, OPPO’s sub-brand announced the first model from its new V series. The Realme V5 was officially announced, coming with a number of features that allows the phone to fight against cost-effective models of Redmi and iQOO.

In terms of price, the 6GB+128GB version costs 1399 yuan ($200), and the 8GB+128GB version comes at 1899 yuan ($272). The pre-sale has started today and it will officially go on sale on August 7.

The Realme V5 offers three colors: Silver, Dawn Light, and Cyan Wing Blue. The former variant uses a bold logo design, that is, the logo area achieves a three-dimensional effect like a naked-eye 3D.

Anyways, the selling point of the Realme V5 is not the appearance or hardware. Instead, it comes with a large 5000mAh battery, while the body weight is controlled under 194g. So we can say this is one of the most lightweight large-capacity battery phones launched by a major manufacturer.

And the trickle charging speed is doubled.

More importantly, the Realme V5 has a full-scene battery life optimization technology. Through Smart 5G network optimization, application freezing, super power saving mode and other system functions, when there is only 5% of the battery power, it still can maintain 82 minutes of text chat. At the same time, it also supports OTG reverse charging. So you can use it as a power bank.

In terms of core configuration, the Realme V5 uses a 6.5-inch full-screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz. Under the hood, it hosts a MediaTek Dimensity 720 chip. The latter supports Wi-Fi + 5G dual-channel acceleration. On the front, we can find a 16MP selfie shooter, while on the opposite side, there is a 48Mp ultra-clear main lens + 8MP wide-angle + macro lens + black and white portrait lens.

According to the official introduction, the Realme V5 brings a brand-new movie mode, 21:9 movie frame direct recording, built-in 10 movie filters, narration and subtitles and other functions to achieve daily blockbuster shooting.
