User experience

• The screen’s size is very good for watching videos and for reading
• The visual angle of the screen and the clarity is very comfortable for the eyes even in different lighting
• Unfortunately the screen’s resolution and display decreases automatically once the battery level reaches 20% and even if you increase the brightness manually it won’t change. This feature exists in most phones in the market but it is turned on when the battery reaches 5% not 20%
• Although the control buttons are in the screen, users can discard it and use the touch screen instead by swiping up from the right side of the screen (back). To be able to find the home, users swipe up from the middle of the screen. And to find the apps and programs that are operating, users swipe up from the center of the screen. In order to find the taskbar, that has the Wifi, 3G, etc. users need to swipe from the left side.
• The LED light indicator is in only one color, which is white, and it lights up only for whatsapp or facebook notifications. So users won’t be able to know if the phone has been charged or not from the LED light indicator.

• The Oppo F5 offers a great performance in internet surfing, switching between apps and operating more than one app at the same time. Users won’t find any slowing down in operation, this is because of the fast RAM, and also Oppo’s interface works well with the phone’s features and makes it easy for the phone to operate.
• The fingerprint sensor is very sensitive, users won’t find any difficulty or slowing down when using it.
• The phone is a good choice for people who enjoy mobile gaming thanks to its fast performance and size and resolution of the screen.
• The sound of the speakers is very clear but being located on the left bottom side mutes the sound when users are holding the phone in their hand when playing games or watching videos
