Oppo F5 Youth: Price in Pakistan, Full Specifications & Used Buying Guide

Oppo F5 Youth Overview

The Oppo F5 Youth launched in November 2017, about a month after the standard F5, as the more affordable entry in Oppo's selfie-focused F series. It keeps the same 6.0-inch 18:9 full-screen design and Helio P23 chipset as the F5, but trims the cameras and RAM to hit a lower price. Like the F5, it was discontinued years ago, so only used or refurbished units exist in Pakistan today. The F5 Youth makes sense today only as an ultra-cheap backup or starter phone — and because sellers sometimes blur the line between the F5 and the F5 Youth, this guide shows you exactly how to tell them apart and what to verify before spending money.

Design and Display

The F5 Youth shares the F5's body almost exactly: a 6.0-inch LTPS IPS LCD with 1080 x 2160 resolution, 18:9 aspect ratio, and around 402 ppi, protected by Gorilla Glass. The metal unibody measures 156.5 x 76 x 7.5 mm and weighs 152 grams, with the fingerprint sensor on the back and no notch on the front. It was sold in Black and Gold. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microUSB port, and a dedicated microSD slot. The only visible tell from the front is the selfie camera — 16MP here instead of the F5's 20MP — which you cannot spot by eye, so always check the software to identify the model.

Performance and Chipset

Under the hood is the same MediaTek Helio P23 (MT6763T) octa-core chip as the F5 — eight Cortex-A53 cores up to 2.5GHz with a Mali-G71 MP2 GPU on a 16nm process. The difference is memory: the F5 Youth shipped with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage in most markets (a 4GB variant existed in some regions), expandable via microSD up to 256GB. That 3GB RAM is the real constraint in 2026: with modern Android apps growing heavier, the Youth will juggle fewer apps in the background than the 4GB/6GB F5 before reloading. It handles WhatsApp, YouTube, TikTok, and calls adequately, but buyers should go in with modest expectations and confirm the RAM figure in Settings, since some listings mislabel 3GB units.

Cameras

The F5 Youth carries a 13MP rear camera (OmniVision OV13855, f/2.2) with phase-detection autofocus and LED flash, and a 16MP front camera (Sony IMX371, f/2.0) with AI Beauty — a step down from the F5's 20MP selfie and 16MP rear pairing. In daylight the rear camera takes acceptable casual photos, and the 16MP front camera is still decent for selfies and video calls. Low-light performance is limited, video tops out at 1080p@30fps, and there is no ultrawide or depth sensor. Some units include a soft-light flash for the front camera, useful for night selfies. For the price bracket it trades in, the camera output is fair — but it is clearly a generation behind even the standard F5.

Battery and Charging

The 3,200mAh non-removable battery is the same unit as in the F5, charged over microUSB at standard speeds with no fast charging. New, it delivered a day of moderate use thanks to the efficient 16nm chipset. On a 2026 used unit, battery wear is the main concern: after eight years, capacity loss is inevitable. Ask the seller for real-world screen-on time, watch for back-panel swelling, and test charging yourself. Because the phone charges slowly by modern standards, a weak battery means long hours tethered to the wall — factor that into the price you are willing to pay.

Software and Updates

The F5 Youth runs Android 7.1 Nougat with ColorOS 3.2, exactly like the F5, and likewise never received a major Android upgrade. The warning from the F5 applies here in full: Android 7.1 has had no security patches since 2019, and a growing list of banking, payment, and government-service apps require Android 8 or 9 minimum. Some apps may install but refuse to log in or crash. Before buying, install and open every app you depend on while you are still at the shop. As a secondary phone for calls, WhatsApp, and media, the software age is tolerable; as a primary daily driver, it is a genuine risk.

Connectivity and Extras

Dual nano-SIM with 4G LTE works on Pakistani networks, with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, FM radio, USB OTG, a rear fingerprint sensor, and face unlock. The microSD slot is dedicated, so storage expansion to 256GB costs no SIM slot. There is no NFC. One practical note for used buyers: verify both SIM slots read a SIM and that the fingerprint sensor responds — these are the components most likely to have failed on an eight-year-old phone.

Who Should Buy the Oppo F5 Youth?

The F5 Youth is for buyers with the tightest possible budget who need a working smartphone for calls, WhatsApp, and YouTube — a spare phone, a child's first phone under supervision, or a temporary replacement. The 3GB RAM means it is strictly a light-use device. If the price difference to a used standard F5 is small, the F5 is the better buy for its extra RAM and better cameras. Anyone needing banking apps, gaming, or long-term daily use should look at newer used models instead.

Oppo F5 Youth vs Oppo F5: How to Tell Them Apart

The two phones look identical, so identification matters when buying used. The F5 has a 20MP front camera and 16MP rear camera with 4GB or 6GB RAM; the F5 Youth has a 16MP front camera and 13MP rear camera with 3GB RAM (4GB in some markets). Check Settings > About Phone for the model number and RAM — the Youth shows up as CPH1725 in many regions. On the used market the Youth should cost noticeably less than the F5; if a seller prices a 3GB unit like a 6GB F5, walk away. Camera quality and multitasking smoothness are the real-world gaps you will feel between the two.

Buying a Used Oppo F5 Youth in Pakistan: Checklist

Start by confirming the model in Settings: look for the "Youth" branding, 3GB RAM, and the 16MP/13MP camera pair, so you do not pay F5 money for a Youth unit. Check PTA status by IMEI — a non-compliant phone gets its SIM blocked regardless of how cheap it was. Test the battery's real backup time, both cameras, the fingerprint sensor, speakers, and both SIM slots. Install your essential apps (especially banking apps) and open them before paying, because Android 7.1 blocks more apps every year. Get a written receipt with the IMEI, and confirm the 7-day check warranty terms with the seller. At Zohaan Mobile Gallery you can verify all of this in-store before deciding.

Oppo F5 Youth Price in Pakistan

The F5 Youth is discontinued, so there is no official new price in Pakistan. Used prices depend on condition, whether it is the 3GB or rarer 4GB variant, battery health, and PTA status. Our catalog figure from the October 2026 import is stale and is not a current market price. For the latest price of the unit actually in stock, message Zohaan Mobile Gallery on WhatsApp at +92 305 8452080 or visit the Rahim Yar Khan store. As the cheapest F-series option, it should undercut the standard used F5 by a clear margin — if it does not, negotiate or step up to the F5.
