Competition:
Going by the specifications, ₹9,990 price tag of Oppo Neo 5 (2015) is tad expensive because some of the recently released budget phones like YU Yuphoria, Xiaomi Redmi 2, Motorola Moto E (4G-LTE) and Coolpad Dazen 1 have much superior features and cost less than ₹7,500. So, it will be hard for Oppo to convince budget-conscious consumers to sway into its fold.
