Oppo, the Chinese OEM that has been busy launching a slew of premium budget handsets these days (only in terms of pricing) has just launched the 2015 iteration of the Neo 5. It will come in two variants, namely the Neo 5 (2015) and Neo 5s. The 's' in the latter stands for Snapdragon as it uses a chipset from Qualcomm. The Neo 5 on the other hand, makes use of a MT6582 chipset.
The duo shares majority of its specifications with the chipset and expandable memory being the only differences between them. Oppo is stating that the two smartphones have been built using a double-metallic layer structure which not only makes the devices compact and sturdy, but also helps in a better heat dissipation.
Both the smartphones get a reflective laminated back which gives an appearance of being a glass rear. Let us take a quick look at what the duo has on offer.
