Unboxing and Overview of the Oppo R5: The Thinnest Phone on the Planet

What's up guys, Lewis here, back with another video, and today I have an exciting one for you. We are checking out the brand new Oppo R5, which in case you haven't heard, is the THINNEST PHONE ON THE PLANET. Even thinner than the new iPhone 6! It has a 5.2-inch AMOLED screen, 1080p resolution, and a 13MP rear camera, as well as a 5MP front camera. But that's not all; it also comes in this crazy box. Yes, you read that right; the phone is packaged in a larger shipping box, which actually came with two phones. You'll see the other one shortly.

I was wondering why it weighed so much, but it's because Oppo uses these really cool plastic boxes, which are obviously going to protect your device and look pretty slick at the same time. OH MY GOODNESS! That is thin, my friends. WOW! A lot of confidence holding on to it here because there is a sort of sharp edge there. That you can feel. My Goodness that is thin!

I pull out an iPhone now to compare, and it might be hard for you to tell because they are both incredibly thin. But we are looking at a very very thin device. It's made mostly of metal, at least that's the way that it feels. The camera does protrude a little bit, and you have a flash in this location right here now. One thing that you'll see is missing or you won't see, haha! A headphone jack, there is no headphone jack on here. It's so thin that they couldn't fit one here. So, you'll actually use the micro USB port to connect headphones.

We have the gigantic power brick here. This is obviously not gonna be useful to me, but that's okay, I have a lot of USB power bricks. We also got some headphones that are nice edition; these look to be specialized because they use the micro USB port connector. Otherwise, fairly standard stuff, they do have a little angle to the connector and they look to be an in-ear style so they probably fit a little bit deeper inside your ear. Oh, there's a disconnection point here as well, so you can use them as regular headphones if you're not using it with this device, you know, a standard headphone jack.

Otherwise, you go into this adapter here, and then you get the micro USB on the other end. My thinking here is, you can probably use which ever headphone you like as long as you're using this adapter. This is a very important adapter; probably a good idea to not lose this though, because you likely get another one if you really needed to. Over here we have our SIM tool, this is of course for installing your SIM into the R5, and they even included a case in here, a flip cover case. I don't normally use these style of cases; I like to have access to my device immediately, but if this is your thing, you have a flip-style case with some information that will be displayed.

In this cut-out here, this little frame, and lastly, you have a micro USB cable, this of course is gonna be used to charge and sync the device. I also missed these little guys right here; you have some extra ear tips for different sizes for these headphones I talked about early so that gives you an idea of what is inside the box but let's go ahead and take a closer look at the actual device, and just how crazy thin that it is! So here is a closer look at the R5, and as mentioned, this is the thinnest phone on the planet. And it might be hard to tell because you don't have a comparison or at least you're not holding the device in your hand.

Obviously phones are getting crazy thin these days in general; the new iPhone was about as thin as I thought phones needed to be if not already too thin! If you guys have seen my previous videos, you probably know why I'm thinking that. One thing I will say about the R5 is I appreciate the fact that there is an edge to grip on it. Because when you're dealing with an incredibly thin phone, do you have confidence in your grip? Is it it? That you can feel.

We'll be continuing this video shortly with more interesting videos featuring this phone, so make sure to stay tuned to the channel! Thanks for watching guys; if you enjoy this content be sure to leave a thumbs up down below, and I'll catch you in the next episode.
