In late July 2026, OPPO introduced the A5 5G in Japan, a budget‑friendly device priced under ¥30,000 that combined a large battery, fast charging, a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor and AI‑enhanced camera tools. The launch was positioned alongside the British brand Nothing’s Phone (4a) Pro as part of a broader push to attract cost‑conscious Japanese consumers amid rising smartphone prices. A few days later, OPPO expanded its AI‑focused portfolio with the A6s 5G, a higher‑spec model aimed at users needing sustained performance for work, study and gaming. The A6s offers a 60‑month fluency guarantee, Google Gemini integration, AI‑driven productivity and camera enhancements, as well as AI LinkBoost 3.0 for optimized gaming connectivity and advanced cooling. Together, the two releases illustrate OPPO’s strategy of rolling out a range of AI‑enabled smartphones, from affordable entry‑level options to performance‑oriented devices, within a short time frame. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-03: OPPO launches A6s 5G smartphone with AI features and 60‑Month Fluency OPPO's A6s 5G smartphone promises 5G, AI productivity, a 60‑month fluency guarantee, AI Camera enhancements and gaming‑focused cooling. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/oppo-launches-a6s-5g-smartphone-with-ai-features-and-60month-fluency ### 2026-07-31: Nothing Phone (4a) Pro and OPPO A5 5G Offer Affordable AI-Enabled Smartphones in Japan Nothing’s Phone (4a) Pro launches in Japan for ¥7,9800 with AI features, while OPPO’s A5 5G offers a sub‑¥30,000 AI‑camera phone, both targeting budget‑conscious users. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nothing-phone-4a-pro-and-oppo-a5-5g-offer-affordable-ai-enabled-smartphones-in-japan --- Cite as: OPPO AI-enabled smartphone launches 2026.
