Performance
Under the hood, the Oppo Neo 5 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, coupled with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and an Adreno 305 GPU. The device originally shipped with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Oppo's ColorOS 1.4 UI overlay. This combination ensured smooth day-to-day operations for most tasks like browsing and light gaming, but it struggled with more demanding applications due to its limited 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. Thankfully, storage can be expanded via a dedicated microSDHC card slot.
