Oppo has introduced a new budget smartphone, the Neo 5, for the Malaysian market.

The
Oppo Neo 5, possibly the successor to the Oppo Neo, is now listed
on the
company’s site without pricing details. However, Soyacincau claims that the Neo 5 is priced at MYR 598 (translating to roughly Rs.
11,500) and will be available starting next week in Malaysia.

As of now, there is no word from the company whether the Neo 5 will be announced in other countries including India.

The
Oppo Neo 5 runs the dated Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with the company’s
proprietary ColorOS skin on top. There is no word whether the smartphone
supports single SIM or dual-SIMs. The Neo 5 comes with LTE support,
which can be said to be the highlight of the device at this price.

It
comes with a 4.5-inch (480×854 pixels) FWVGA IPS display and offers a
pixel density of 218ppi. The Neo 5 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core
Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB of RAM, similar as the
popular Moto G.

The smartphone features 4GB of inbuilt storage,
which is further expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB). The Oppo Neo 5
sports a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and BSI CMOS sensor,
while also housing a secondary 2-megapixel front-facing camera.

On
the connectivity front, the Oppo Neo 5 includes 4G LTE, 3G, Wi-Fi,
GPRS/ EDGE, GPS/ A-GPS, Micro-USB, and Bluetooth. The smartphone packs a
1900mAh battery, measures in at 132×65.8×9.2mm, and weighs 132.5 grams.

The
Chinese handset maker, expanding its smartphone portfolio in India,
recently launched N1 Mini priced at Rs. 26,990. The N1 Mini was globally announced
along with the Oppo R3 at a press event in June.

The N1 Mini is
a single-SIM smartphone that runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with ColorOS
1.4. It features a 5-inch (720×1280 pixels) display made by JDI; 1.6GHz
quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor; Adreno 305 GPU; 2GB of RAM;
rotating 13-megapixel Sony IMX214 sensor camera with LED flash; 16GB of
inbuilt storage; expandable storage support, and 2140mAh battery.
