Oppo has launched the 4G-only variant of Oppo A5 Pro quietly in the Indonesian market. While it looks almost identical to the global model that was announced in February, the big difference is under the hood. Instead of the global variant’s Dimensity 6300, this version runs on the Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 chipset. Here’s more about the recently unveiled device.

The Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 is a 4G-only chip with an X11 LTE modem. It has four Cortex-A73 and four Cortex-A53 cores, along with an Adreno 610 GPU, a setup that might feel familiar to fans of the Snapdragon 662/680.

In comparison, the Dimensity 6300 has newer Cortex-A76 + A55 cores and supports 5G, making the 4G model a slight downgrade in performance.

But if you prefer the 5G version, Oppo still offers the A5 Pro 5G with the Dimensity 6300 in Indonesia.

Oppo A5 Pro 4G – Same Specs, Rugged Design

The Oppo A5 Pro 4G comes with the following key specs –

8GB LPDDR4X RAM
128GB or 256GB UFS 2.1 storage (expandable via microSD)
67-inch LCD display, 90Hz refresh rate, 720p+ resolution, and 1,000 nits peak brightness
50MP main camera with OIS + 2MP depth sensor
8MP selfie camera (80° lens, 1080p @ 30fps)

The 4G model supports 4K video recording at 60fps, while the Dimensity 6300 in the 5G model is limited to 1080p @ 30fps, a win for the 4G version.

Powering the device is a 5,800mAh battery with 45W SuperVOOC fast charging. Oppo claims it can stream videos for 17 hours straight and retain 80% of its original capacity even after 4 years.

Beyond the chipset and other features, not much has changed but Oppo has kept durability as a big focus here. Oppo has used Gorilla Glass 7i and AGC DT-Star D+ glass for protection. The phone is also IP66, IP68, and IP69-rated, meaning it can handle hot water jets up to 80°C.

Moreover, it has military-grade shock resistance, thanks to an aluminium motherboard cover.
