OPPO Product Ambassador - OPPO Find X5 Series (UK)

Hi everyone, I'm also one of the lucky people to be selected to be an OPPO Product Ambassador. I would like to thank OPPO and XDA for this fantastic opportunity.
As you can see I am a long time member on these forums and have owned a fair share of Android phones including OPPO phones in the past, namely the Find X2 Pro.
I'm really excited to test the OPPO Find X5 / Pro, it's packing top of the line specs, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU as well as their super fast VOOC Charging.
My plans are to to coverage on the following:
Unboxing
Camera tests
Charging test
Games test
Review
I might do other additional videos. If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to post it here
#OPPOAmbassadors #OPPOFindX5Series

Do you get direct feedback to oppo as part of being an ambassador?
Looking forward to your feedback, mine is on order and I will also feedback on multiple forums.
Looking at the comparative video between oppo find x5 pro and the Samsung s22 ultra, the camera captures more detail on the Samsung and I hope oppo release a software update with further camera improvements.

Unboxing OPPO Find X5 and first impression

Here is my unboxing experience and first impression of the OPPO Find X5 that I have been using for the past few days. Well before the package arrived, I have already watched and read so many good reviews about the OPPO Find X5 series and I was truly excited to get my hands on it. From the hardware to the software, everything is perfectly assembled and OPPO truly delivers in creating the one true flagship device that is super versatile and can be enjoyed by everyone, from professionals to casual users. The OPPO Find X5 series is truly a powerhouse and their devices are of the most premium quality without any major flaws. I believe this lineup can attract everyone from its own unique design to its magnificent ColorOS.
Alright let's get to the unboxing experience. The package that I received was the OPPO Find X5 and their first ever Imaging NPU chip, the MariSilicon X and it is truly remarkable because the chip is only 6nm in size but is able to deliver an unbeatable performance. When I opened the box, my eyes were already fixed to the phone itself because its back was beautifully crafted and the camera design has a unique cutout. The box also included a free matte black case which surprised me because some other brands would normally provide a transparent silicon case. Up next we have the manual, sim ejector tool and the premium service card. Also included in the box are the type C cable and the 80W SuperVOOC power brick that can charge 50% in just 12 minutes. Another thing that I think is worthy of praise is the inclusion of a type C to type A USB adapter which can be handy in some situations. The adapter can be used while on the go and in emergency situations which can be a lifesaver for some people. The camera design is interesting to me because it is not conventional like other flagships and the lens are embedded in the camera module which gives a sleeker look at the back of the phone as well as providing extra protection from scratches.
In my opinion, the OPPO Find X5 device is packaged beautifully. Some smartphone brands have already ditched the power brick and customers would need to buy it separately. This is not the case for OPPO, as they still include the power brick to varied wattage & implement their own SuperVOOC techology which really comes in handy.
The OPPO Find X5 is packed with a monstrous capability which delivers the best performance for daily usage. With the inclusion of the MariSilicon X, the images and videos shot from this beautifully crafted flagship will excel better than any flagship smartphone and it is something that should be praised. Truly, I really can't wait to share my review with everyone for this smartphone from the camera capability to the performance itself. If you have any questions regarding the OPPO Find X5, you may reply this thread.

I entered "MariO" for the nickname of MariSilicon X, and it became official!
The one I received is the global version (for Malaysia).
Unfortunately, included charger has USB Type-A port only and support the proprietary SuperVOOC.
Variable PPS is becoming more widespread, and I think it is time to make it compatible with USB Type-C / USB PD like OnePlus did it on OnePlus 8T....
Instructions and warranty card are also included.
A translucent protective case is also included, and the screen side has four protruding corners to prevent the screen from hitting the ground when turned over.
Smooth and brilliant AMOLED display​
The OPPO Find X5 Pro features a 6.7-inch QHD+ resolution AMOLED display.
It is bright enough to be used outdoors, and is vivid enough that you don't need to modify color settings.
It is an edge display and the protective film is applied from the beginning.
Battery consumption is sufficient for a full day of use even when using 120Hz refresh rate since it uses LTPO and dynamic refresh rate, and thanks to fast charging, it can be recharged quickly even if it runs low.
The panel is a diamond array made by Samsung.
The OPPO Find X5 Pro is Widevine L1 and it allows streaming in HD quality on Amazon Prime Video (beta) and others.
Beautiful back with ceramic​
The back of the OPPO Find X5 Pro is made of ceramic, which is different from glass in terms of smoothness and beauty.
The OPPO Find X3 has a nice design, but the OPPO Find X5 Pro seems even more refined.
It's fingerprints resistant, so the beauty of the phone is maintained even after continued use.
Build quality is great.
The area around the camera is smoothly raised, giving it a unique design.
I put a protective film on it to take good care of it
High speed shooting even in night scenes​
The OPPO Find X5 Pro is equipped with a triple camera: 50MP (SONY IMX766) + 50MP (ultra-wide SONY IMX766) + 13MP (telephoto Samsung s5k3m5).
The photos taken are saved here.
The OPPO Find X5 Pro's Night shot mode allows you to take bright pictures even in areas that are nearly pitch-black to the naked eye.
By selecting "movie" mode from "MORE" menu, you can shoot HDR movies and LOG movies with 3840 x 1644 resolution.
This mode allows you to shoot more vivid movies than the normal movie mode.
The effect of MariSilicon X is easily felt in the "time it takes to process a night scene shot," which with the OPPO Find X3 takes about 8 seconds, but with the OPPO Find X5 Pro, the process is completed in about 4 seconds.
It is easy to take a series of pictures, and it is also easy to shorten the time to fix and hold the camera.
I was able to finish shooting quickly even while moving in a dark aisle.
The OPPO Find X5 Pro's photo is brighter and has less noise in low-light environments where there is only the light of the phone's screen.
Although beautiful enough in backlit conditions, the townscape in the background was whitish.
It's a matter of which is more important, so I think that's OK.
It can zoom optically up to 2x and digitally up to 20x with the hybrid zoom.
Although it loses out to optical zoom, it is still able to capture even the smallest of details, such as the whiskers of a cat in a dark place.
When zooming, an overall view is displayed in the upper left corner, making it easy to see where you are zooming.
I tried shooting at 1x, 0.6x, and 2x respectively.
The vividness is a little better at 1x, but there is not much difference, and the image can be taken beautifully in any mode.
Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but the memories will remain vivid.
Even in a dark place, the 2x zoom can capture relatively beautiful images, and the light of the Piranha Plant is captured without any white out of the pattern.
The top is normal and the bottom is ultra-wide angle, and distortion in ultra-wide is minimal.
The XPan mode, which recreates the panoramic photos of Hasselblad's film camera days, allows users to take photos with an aspect ratio of 65:21.
Video stabilization is also quite good, and shaking is not noticeable even when shooting while walking on bumpy roads.
However, once you start shooting, you cannot change the camera lens.
For example, it is not possible to start shooting at 2x zoom and then seamlessly change to 1x.
Supports wired 80W and wireless 50W charging​
The OPPO Find X5 Pro supports wired charging, including 80W SuperVOOC and USB PD 9V/2A, as well as 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.
With 80W SuperVOOC charging, the battery could charge from 10% to 100% in 41 minutes, and the temperature only rose to a maximum of 34°C.
It's great since it can be recharged immediately even if you forget to charge it at night.
Wireless Charging is also fast and can be charged with the cover on.
It is quiet and can be set to silent while sleeping.
It's easy to charge quickly just by putting it down.
Video output supported USB 3.1 Gen 1 port​
As befits a flagship, the OPPO Find X5 Pro features a USB Type-C port with USB 3.1 Gen 1.
Video and audio output in DisplayPort Alt Mode is also available for display mirroring.
This is useful when you want to enjoy games / videos on a large screen without a lag.
Stereo speakers​
The OPPO Find X5 Pro has stereo speakers, with the upper part doubling as a speaker for calls.
Dolby Atmos is supported and cannot be turned off for the speakers.
Both bass and treble were nicely balanced and sounded beautifully, and there was no scuffling.
Smaller treble choruses, for example, were sometimes a bit hard to hear.
Compared to the Pixel 6 Pro, it seemed to emphasize vocals in particular.
The frequency response measured with the miniDSP UMIK-1 from a distance of about 30 cm, surrounded by sound-absorbing mats, is shown below.
eSIM gives you more choices of carriers​
In addition to dual nano SIM, eSIM can also be used.
Unfortunately, you can only use either nano SIM + nano SIM or nano SIM + eSIM instead of triple SIM, but since eSIM is now available from various other carriers, it's good to have more options.
Long press of power button activates Google Assistant​
The OPPO Find X5 Pro has a power button on the right side that can be pressed and held to activate Google Assistant.
You can also turn it off in the settings... but in that case, a long press does not bring up the power menu, and you have to press and hold on the power button and the volume button at the same time to bring up the power menu.
I would like to be able to get the power menu with a long press of the power button only, like the Pixel 6 Pro, etc.
The volume buttons are located on the left side.
Play the highest quality Genshin at an average of 54.5 FPS​
The OPPO Find X5 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which seems to be tuned a bit more modestly to reduce heat generation during gaming.
In the 3DMark Wild Life Stress Test, the score was 9770, with a temperature increase from 21°C to 42°C (21°C increase) and 24-73 FPS.
PCMark Work 3.0, which measures performance in everyday use such as document manipulation, scored 14357.
In Geekbench 5, it scores single-core 981 and multi-core 3538.
Even the version with the package name disguised as Genshin scores single-core 982 and multi-core 3535, so I think they aren't doing so-called benchmark boosting not like Samsung and Xiaomi.
Great!
Storage has relatively high write performance.
The OPPO Find X5 Pro includes a frame rate stabilizer called AI Frame Rate Stabilizer, which is a feature that stabilizes the frame rate and
Genshin Impact
LOLM
MOBILE LEGEND
FREE FIRE
PUBG
SUBWAY SURFERS
CODM
are supported.
However, there is no such thing in the game menu, and "Pro Gamer mode" (available for all games) can only be selected in the performance settings.
It may be automatically turned on for supported games.
There is also an option to overlay FPS and CPU/GPU utilization.
When measured with WeTest PerfDog running Genshin Impact at the highest quality and 60FPS setting, the average FPS was 54.5 FPS.
While Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered devices tend to generate a lot of heat, causing the average FPS to drop, this result was higher than the 51FPS of Redmi K50G, a gaming smartphone.
The battery temperature rose to a maximum of about 39.5°C, which is not so high, but the heat was transferred to the back of the device and it felt a little hot.
Multifunctional OS​
ColorOS 12.1, which OPPO Find X5 Pro comes equipped with, has a variety of useful features.
Gesture operations are quite abundant, and you can set up gestures such as double-tapping to turn on the screen, writing letters such as O and V to launch the camera, etc., and sliding up, down, left, and right to launch your favorite apps.
Since you can quickly launch your favorite apps from when the screen is off, it can be quite convenient if you customize it to your liking.
There is also a feature called Air Gestures that allows users to scroll without touching the screen.
However, it is only supported by some apps such as YouTube, and it is quite difficult to operate. It seems to be useful if you can master it...
The keyboard position can also be moved up slightly so as not to interfere with gesture operations.
It's a small thing, but it greatly improves convenience.
Memory (RAM) expansion is also available (3 to 7 GB).
It has a vibration feature called O-HAPTICS, which allows the user to fine-tune the intensity and feel of the vibrations.
The Personalization menu allows fine-tuning of AODs, themes, animations, etc.
You can change the font without root to suit your taste and mood.
There are a lot of fonts and I'm distributing a custom font Mejiro for Japanese, too.
The Android 12 base provides a privacy dashboard and camera/mic toggle, which is good for those concerned about privacy.
Apps can be cloned and locked, and even apps that only allow one account to be used can be operated with multiple accounts.
O Relax prepares you for time without using your phone by playing relaxing music.
Bootloader is not unlockable​
Since this is xda, I would have to mention bootloader unlocking as well.
Unfortunately, the OPPO Find X5 Pro doesn't support unlocking bootloader for now.
To unlock bootloader of OPPO phone, we need to use "Deep Testing" apk to request approval from OPPO, but there's no such apk for Find X5 Pro yet and may not be released.
I wish they would improve it so that it can be unlocked at any time like OnePlus (also comply with the GPL)!
Conclusion​Pros:
AMOLED with 120Hz refresh rate support
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 + LPDDR5 + UFS 3.1
Fast night shot
5000mAh battery with 80W support
50W wireless charging support
eSIM support
IP68 waterproof and dustproof
Cons:
Slightly heavy
Back tends to get hot when gaming
Not so good cost performance
Can't change camera while shooting video
OPPO Find X5 Pro is quite beautiful on the outside thanks to its ceramic body, and it has a unique design with a smoothly raised camera area.
Taking advantage of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 performance, Genshin runs smoothly at an average of 54 FPS, and night shots are quick thanks to the MariSilicon X.
However, the global version is quite expensive (at the level that you could buy a foldable OPPO Find N), so in terms of cost performance, it is hard to beat the competition.
It is good because it has a high-end feel that is commensurate with the price, but it would be easier to pick up if it were cheaper.

@AndroPlus Great Job Ryo seriously well reviewed Impressed with each and every details of this review, Specially as a photographer I enjoyed the photography in all lighting conditions. Its Dope. Wish I could have this power to mare this much detailed threads.

Very detailed review, thanks!
I wonder if you caught the limitation with the camera when filming in 4k60? It doesn't let you switch between the rear lenses.
Is this something you could ask oppo about?

Yes, I confirmed the limitation now...
I'll ask them.

What's the over-sharpening like? I mostly love the photos from my Find X3 Pro - the colors are better than the Huawei P40 I had before - but the over-sharpening is too intense. I wish it could be turned down. For example, any photos black wires in them look nasty with over-sharpened halos around the wires. Any improvement in the X5?

Stories from Varied Perspectives #OPPOAmbassadors #OPPOFindX5Series

Bad choice Oppo, going all in with the IMX766

*Spoiler alert, grumpy post ahead*
Had many cameraphones in the past,but the choice that Oppo made running along with the IXM766, the sensor is disappointing in every aspect, like, come on! 1.56" sensor with 1.0 microns?! Seriously?!
Camera quality is noisy day or night.
Photos are over exposed.
hdr mode is a joke, the Pixel 6 and 6A murdering this phone blindfolded.
Portrait mode is like storm trooper trying to hit a tank 2 meters away and still miss the target.
Using video mode killing both battery and heats up the device badly, even without tapping the Record button the phone heats up..
Macro mode not kick's in automatically.
Using the Pro mode showing same results
Thought that upgrading to Android 13 will do any better but nothing was changed in the camera department...shame..
I have the Oppo Find X5 btw..

Came to see in the forum if other people are having such a worse camera experience with this phone as me.
This phone is the perfect textbook example of "doesn't matter how many/or high quality camera sensors you put in a phone, if the software is crap, the whole experience is crap".
Instead of making such a marketing about this "Marisilicone x" thing and other technical crap advertisement, Oppo could have spend this time more useful in the camera software development.
I'm surprised to say that my 7T Pro takes a lot better photo's than this phone.
My opinion of course...

Had Xiaomi Mi 11 before the Oppo and the Pixel, it actually demolishes the Oppo in every aspect.
With GCAM? it's perfect!
The Oppo does not have a proper GCAM either...

HDR is really a joke, for the price paid it seems like a bad joke... so far no update

Jozef Behr | Oppo Find X5 Pro review: A bit of a OSM beauty

Hello Folks Myself Jozef Clifford Behr From London, UK. I Want To Share The best review of Oppo Find X5 Pro -
OPPO FIND X5 PRO With a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, triple Hasselblad cameras and 80W fast charging, the Oppo Find X5 Pro.
Like its predecessor, there’s no doubt that the Find X5 Pro leaves a spectacular first impression. Two questions remain, however: does it stand a chance of becoming a mainstay of flagship design and might it be the first flagship to push Oppo firmly into the limelight?
Oppo Find X5 Pro review: What you need to know
My headline says it all really. The Find X5 Pro is a stunning handset, and there’s really nothing else quite like it when it comes to aesthetics. I’ll go into more detail as we dig deeper into this review, but the good news is that elsewhere the Find X5 Pro is just as exciting.
You might be paying quite a lot for the privilege, but there’s no doubt you’re getting top-shelf componentry for your money here. Inside, you’ll find Qualcomm’s brand-spanking-new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, which is so young that this is the first phone we’ve reviewed with one of these flagship mobile chipsets inside. This works alongside 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
There’s a bigger 5,000mAh battery, too, which now supports lightning-quick 80W charging. A 6.7in QHD+ AMOLED display sits on the front, with a variable refresh rate of 120Hz, and there are a total of three Hasselblad cameras on the phone’s rear: a 50MP (f/1.7) main sensor, 13MP (f/2.4) 2x zoom and a 50MP (f/2.2) 110-degree ultrawide.
Oppo Find X5 Pro review: Price and competition
Like I said earlier, all this stuff doesn’t come cheap, but it’s not quite as expensive as its rivals. Arriving in the UK at the end of March, the Oppo Find X5 Pro is priced at £1,049.
Oppo Find X5 Pro review: Design and key features
Like 2021’s Find X3 Pro, this year’s model is an especially formidable flagship. Overflowing with features, the Find X5 Pro – Oppo skipped the Find X4 – also happens to be the sort of phone that draws admiring glances when you pull it out of your pocket on your daily commute.
The Oppo Find X5 Pro’s design really is one of a kind. The unibody form factor returns, albeit with subtle tweaks to the overall construction. A ceramic sheet seamlessly wraps around the rear camera housing, replacing the glass panel of the previous model. Blending in nicely with the rest of the handset, this makes for a phone that looks just as lavish as its four-figure price suggests.
Another slight change is that the angle of the bottom edge of the camera housing is now ergonomically grooved to fit your index finger when you’re holding the phone. This not only makes the phone more comfortable to hold in one hand, but it also helps to alleviate potential finger smudges on the rear camera lenses. Not to mention that it gives the Find X5 Pro an extra bit of visual panache.
The Find X5 Pro comes in a choice of two colours: Glaze Black and Ceramic White. I was sent the black model for testing, and while its mirrored finish left a good impression, it was a bit of a fingerprint magnet. As you can probably tell, I lost the battle with trying to take smudge-free pictures of the phone for this review.
As you’d expect for a phone that costs as much as this, the Oppo Find X5 Pro is IP68-rated against dust and water ingress and, unlike the equally expensive Huawei P50 Pro, it can also connect to the 5G network in the UK. A fingerprint scanner is embedded under the screen, but it also supports face unlocks. The circumference of the selfie camera lights up whenever it tries to scan your face, too, which is a nice touch.
Oppo Find X5 Pro review: Display
The phone’s screen is a 6.7in AMOLED affair, with a QHD+ resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. This display supports 10-bit colours, HDR10+ playback and has a 1,000Hz touch-sampling rate. And, like the S22 Ultra, the minimum refresh rate has also dropped to 1Hz, which should help boost battery life when performing simple actions such as reading an ebook.
As for the actual quality of the screen, everything is above board. With four colour modes to choose from, I found the Natural setting to be the most colour-accurate, with an sRGB gamut coverage of 94%, a total volume of 96% and an average Delta E of 1.31. Aside from the slightly boosted saturation in some red tones, every colour looked as good as can be.
It’s as vibrant as the best AMOLED screens around, too, with a measured peak brightness of 483cd/m2 and perfect contrast. HDR brightness was a bit on the low side, however, peaking at around 725cd/m2 – for reference, the iPhone 13 Pro Max reaches an eyeball-searing 1,176cd/m2.
Oppo Find X5 Pro review: Software
Like its predecessor, Android is at the heart of the Find X5 Pro, with Oppo’s ColorOS skin placed on top. New additions to ColorOS 12.1 include a host of productivity features, such as a new one-handed mode and floating windows – essentially the option to place apps on top of other apps.
One thing I don’t like is the amount of bloatware that comes preinstalled. The usual culprits – Facebook, Amazon Shopping, TikTok and PUBG Mobile, among others – are already installed on the phone when you boot it up for the first time, with AliExpress strangely making an appearance as well. Thankfully, these apps can all be deleted without much fuss.
In lighter news, Oppo guarantees three years of Android updates, which should bring the Find X5 Pro all the way to Android 15. You should also get four years of regular security updates.
Oppo Find X5 Pro review: Cameras
A big chunk of the phone’s launch event was reserved for the Oppo Find X5 Pro’s cameras, and for good reason. There are three cameras on the rear of the handset this year, consisting of a main 50MP (f/1.7) sensor, a 50MP (f/2.2) 110-degree ultrawide and a 13MP (f/2.4) 2x telephoto zoom.
A single 32MP (f/2.4) selfie camera sits on the front of the handset, located in a hole-punch notch in the top-left corner of the display. This uses a new “Intelligent FoV” system, which can switch between 80 and 90-degrees, depending on how many people are in the frame, and it works rather well.
Oppo’s brand-new dedicated imaging NPU, MariSilicion X, sits separately from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 on the motherboard, and this handles all of the image processing. According to Oppo, in diverting computing power away from the phone’s main Qualcomm chipset, this new NPU allows for a new feature called 4K Ultra Night Video, which can shoot in lighting conditions as low as 5 lux, with better colour distribution, higher dynamic range, increased detail and less visual noise.
The main camera also uses a five-axis optical image stabilisation system, which consists of a three-axis sensor shift and a two-axis lens shift. What this means is that video should look rock-steady, and it allows for longer exposures without blurry images. The new RGBW sensor can also gather 60% more light than the previous version, supposedly with increased detail capture.
That Hasselblad partnership is purely on a software level. The Find X5 Pro launches with three “Hasselblad Master Styles”, which are essentially different camera filters created in partnership with three different Hasselblad photographers. The new Hasselblad XPAN mode allows you to shoot in a vintage “letterbox style” aspect ratio of 65:24, and the UI is similar to Hasselblad’s full-frame camera interface.
In testing, the cameras performed rather well, despite the fact that they didn’t quite live up to Oppo’s lofty claims. Image clarity was nice and sharp, with plenty of vibrancy and well-judged exposure levels in most well-lit instances, although the main sensor did struggle a bit with some of the finer details – such as the fur on a local goat – especially when the subject was moving around quite a bit.
I was impressed with the Night mode, too. Just make sure to use the main sensor when capturing low-light images, since some of the nighttime shots looked quite soft when using the zoom and ultrawide cameras. Video capture was also very good, topping out at 4K 60fps, fully stabilised.
