Have you seen advertisements of the OPPO F5 lately when you went to SM Megamall? If not, then you should check out selfies from various Star Magic artists using the smartphone or a beauty tutorial video from ABS-CBN Lifestyle and Metro Magazine where the F5 is featured. It seems that OPPO is not keen on providing details on the new phone; instead, it lets local celebrities to do the promotion for it. And you know, it did work and brings up beyond anyone's hype.

OPPO's own strategy on the F5 seems to be uniquely bizaare compared to that of local and international brands with celebrities as their brand ambassadors. Yet it may bring not only well-known star power to the people but also the phone itself. Maybe we will find out more about the F5 when it hits stores nationwide when it is launched regardless of the rumors spreading around. Nevertheless, it looks like the OPPO F5 is one smartphone that any selfie-loving consumer should not belittle.
