Oppo K5 With Quad Rear Cameras Set to Launch on October 10, Specifications Tipped

Oppo K5 will make its debut on October 10, the Chinese company announced via a Weibo post on Thursday. The new Oppo phone will sport a quad rear camera setup as well as offer a gradient back with a 3D curved glass protection. Ahead of the formal launch, Chinese e-retailer JD.com has started taking reservations for the Oppo K5. The online marketplace is, however, yet to reveal the price and specifications of the new handset. An earlier leak of the Oppo K5 suggested the hardware, though.

As per the official post on Weibo, the Oppo K5 will launch in China on October 10. The launch date is identical to the release of the Oppo Reno Ace that is also scheduled in the Chinese region for October 10.

The Weibo post includes a teaser that confirms the quad rear camera setup on the Oppo K5. The handset will sport a 64-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel secondary sensor along with a wide-angle lens at the back. Further, its teaser shows three different colour options along with a gradient finish and a 3D curved glass design.
