Add another entry to list of smartphones that target the market of buyers who are interested in having the thinnest device they can find. Today in India, OPPO officially launched the OPPO R5 smartphone that measures only 4.85mm thick. The device was officially announced back in October in China, but this is the first market where the OPPO R5 can actually be purchased. OPPO does not do much in terms of laying claim to having the world’s thinnest smartphone, only calling it “Industry Leading,” but it would appear they have trumped yesterday’s announcement from Kazam.

The OPPO R5 probably would not be considered top-tier by most buyers, but it does have a decent set of hardware riding in that thin frame. The R5 is equipped with a Snapdragon 615 processor running at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of non-expandable internal storage. The screen is a full 5.2-inch HD AMOLED display running at 1920 x 1080 resolution yielding 423 ppi. For cameras, OPPO equipped the R5 with a 13 MP rear sensor and a 5 MP front-facing camera. OPPO also gave the R5 a unique casing material to help it stay cool and their VOOC charging technology that helps it charge quickly.

Pre-orders for the OPPO R5 will start on January 1st with the device selling for 29,990 INR ($473 USD).
