Selfie Expert Going Smart, Built-in A.I. Find the Real Beauty Inside Out 

Priced more affordably, the OPPO F5 Youth features a high quality 16MP Selfie camera (f/2.0), a 13MB rear camera and an extraordinary 6-inch full-screen of 2160×1080 resolution(FHD+), bringing worthy visual and mobile Selfie experience. As the well-known Selfie Expert and Leader, OPPO is stepping forward and has upgraded the built-in beautification technology with the smart artificial intelligence and optimizations. 

The F5 Youth takes enhanced and natural Selfies that reflect the beauty of the users from inside out. Based on its global human face database and advanced algorithms, OPPO A.I. Beauty Technology can detect the photo shooters’ facial features instantly and result in attractive photos as if being clicked by a professional photographer.

With more than 200 facial recognition spots that reference the image against a global database of human faces to learn facial features, shapes and structures, F5 can distinguish each person’s face features from skin tone and type, gender, age and more. After facial recognition, the AI Beauty technology will customize beautify based on one’s features from skin, eyes, lips, to face shape. Along with the Bokeh effects and the HDR backlight optimization, each user can get his or her own Selfie.

New functions and upgrades enable more efficiency. With the Do Not Disturb function, the gaming experience will be smooth. Incoming calls will be shown in the form of a banner without interrupting the game. Users won’t even miss a phone call from a loved one or work.

Other Interesting Features 

The F5 Youth battery life is exceptional, thanks to the 3200Ah battery and the Continuous Optimizing technology which manages the apps running on the device, allowing the user up to 12 hours of continuous use (in a simulated test). A triple slot tray supports two Nano cards and one TF card simultaneously helping you have a smooth experience.
