Compared to its iconic predecessor, the OPPO F5 launched in early November, the F5 Youth doesn't undergo significant changes in both external design and internal specifications. The company maintains key technical specifications highlighted on the F5 for its younger sibling, such as the 6-inch Full-HD+ Fullview display and the high-performance Helio P23 processor paired with a 3,200 mAh battery. Some areas of reduction include camera resolution and RAM capacity.

Compared to its illustrious predecessor, the OPPO F5, which debuted in early November, the F5 Youth retains consistency in external design and internal specifications. The company maintains essential technical specifications highlighted on the F5 for its junior counterpart, such as the 6-inch Full-HD+ Fullview display and the high-performance Helio P23 processor paired with a 3,200 mAh battery. Some reductions include camera resolution and RAM capacity.
The OPPO F5 Youth remains loyal to the metallic faux design akin to the F5 model, with softly rounded corners and an 18:9 aspect ratio screen that ensures comfortable single-handed usage. The distinguishing factor between the F5 and F5 Youth is the absence of bright metal strips above and below the back panel of this 'Youth' variant. This contributes to a reduction in sophistication and fashion but enhances overall consistency and seamlessness of the device.
The front face of the F5 Youth still features a 6-inch Full-HD+ display with a pixel density of 402PPI, offering a visual experience similar to the F5 with adequate brightness and color reproduction leaning towards realism without excessively pleasing users' eyes. The device provides wide viewing angles but may cause slight discomfort when used outdoors due to its moderate brightness levels.
OPPO F5 Youth integrates the custom MediaTek Helio P23 processor with a maximum clock speed of 2.5GHz, Mali-G71 GPU, 3GB of RAM paired with 32GB of internal memory expandable up to 256GB via external microSD card, a 3,200mAh battery, and runs on Android 7.1 Nougat with ColorOS 3.2 customization, offering many useful features for users such as facial recognition unlocking, gesture-based controls, and more.
The most significant reduction point on the F5 Youth compared to the F5 lies in the camera department. The device will be equipped with a 16MP front sensor with an f/2.0 aperture integrated with artificial intelligence beauty features, along with a 13MP primary camera with an f/2.2 aperture that also offers many interesting photography features. I will send you a camera review and an overall assessment of the F5 Youth soon.
