Oppo’s A7 Pro Max 5G claims first with Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 chip and massive 10,000mAh battery

Oppo has launched the A7 Pro Max 5G globally, boasting the first smartphone powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 chip, a massive 10,000mAh battery, and advanced water and dust resistance features.

Oppo has begun rolling out the A7 Pro Max 5G to global markets, pitching the handset as a battery-heavy device with stronger dust and water resistance than typical mid-range phones. The launch also gives the company a claim to a first: according to the company and third-party coverage, it is the first smartphone to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 chip.

The phone centres on a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a 2,772 x 1,272 resolution, adaptive refresh up to 120Hz and peak brightness of 1,800 nits. Reports also note 10-bit colour support, full DCI-P3 coverage and an optical fingerprint reader built into the display.

Oppo has paired that panel with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X memory and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The camera system uses a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilisation, joined by a 2-megapixel monochrome unit, while the front camera is also 50 megapixels. Both cameras can record 1080p video at 30 frames per second, according to the launch details cited by multiple outlets.

The headline feature is the 10,000mAh battery, which supports 80W wired charging and 27W reverse charging. Tech coverage says the battery is designed for long service life, with Oppo claiming it should retain more than 80% of its capacity after 1,500 charge cycles. The handset is also rated IP69K, a standard associated with protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets as well as dust ingress.

The phone runs ColorOS 16 based on Android 16 and is available in Surfing Blue and Lunar Black. Pricing starts at $563 for the 8GB/256GB version in markets where that model is sold, while Notebookcheck reported a €599 price in Austria for a 6GB/256GB variant and MYR 2,299 in Malaysia for the 8GB/256GB model.
