OPPO Nigeria has expanded its product line with the launch of the A5 Pro, a high-durability smartphone tailored to the needs of the country’s growing mobile market.
The device, launched this weekend in Lagos, features IP69-rated water, sand, and dust resistance; a military-grade build; and a 5,800 mAh battery, the smartphone maker said.
The device also integrates AI LinkBoost technology designed to improve connectivity in low-signal areas.
“The unique thing about this newly launched OPPO A5 Pro is it’s coming with the recent IP69, which can withstand water, sand, and dust,” National Training Manager of OPPO Nigeria, Victor Igweonu, said.
OPPO entered the Nigerian market in 2019 with the F11 Pro and has since expanded its presence significantly, marking its sixth year of operations in the country. Its product portfolio includes the flagship Reno series and the A series, to which the A5 Pro belongs.
“OPPO is very sensitive to the needs of Nigerians, and we know that Nigerians go for durability—they go for reliability,” Marketing Manager Folashade Omonijo said.
The A5 Pro also features an AI Editor that enables users to edit photos and videos with ease, including removing unwanted objects or people from images—a feature the company says will appeal to content creators and social media users.
Brand Ambassador Nwachukwu Tochukwu said the smartphone also includes a VC-Cooler function that helps regulate temperature during heavy use.
“When OPPO is producing a phone, I can hit my chest that they are not doing something that you do not like,” said Public Relations Manager at OPPO Nigeria, Bayonle Ayodele.
