The XenPhone 5 is equipped with 8MP AF rear camera with LED flash, and also houses a 2MP FF camera for video conference and selfies. It is packed with 2000mAH battery, which is claimed to give 15 hours of talk time and 300 hours of standby time on single SIM.
For connectivity options, the XenPhone 5 offers WiFi WAPI(802.11b/g/n), WiFi HotSpot, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, Micro USB2.0, 3.5MM earphone jack and T flash card. This smartphone is also fixed with Yamha Professional bass speakers. It measures 143×71.5×7.8mm and the device is quite bulky. Its weight is approximately 170 grams.
Commenting on the launch, Soumitra Gupta, CEO, Oplus, said, “We are extremely elated to be launching the XonPhone 5, an innovative smartphone with ultimate features ensuring a unique user experience. Our association with India’s largest marketplace, Snapdeal.com has yielded us great results for our tablet and we are affirmative that our smartphone will also witness great acceptance from the users.”
