Thank you to OPPO and to the OPPO Product Ambassador Team (a special thank you to Eleanor) for granting me a spot within the 20 strong first ever global OPPO Product Ambassador Team, as I eagerly await the arrival of my OPPO Find X5 to the Land Down Under (kid gloves please DHL!).
I am excitedly anxious in anticipation to dive deep into the new OPPO Find X5, of which I am one of the 10 of the 20 OPPO Product Ambassadors for, and what awesome company I'm keeping with real world tech, and creatively, savvy OPPO Product Ambassadors.
Having owned and used, as my daily drivers, the OPPO Reno 5G, OPPO Find X2 Pro, and currently the OPPO Find X3 Pro, I have experienced first hand and immersed myself in the evolution of the OPPO Flagship Range of Smartphones.
I do pretty much everything from directly from my smartphone; whether it's work, rest or play, and it can be sometimes be up to a week before I need to open up my laptop, and these are the parameters that I'll be applying to my immersive experience with the OPPO Find X5, as it takes up the gauntlet as my new daily driver.
I look forward to understanding and explaining the sum of its parts (such as OPPO's first ever custom imagining chip, the MariSilicon X, the colour calibration tech collaboration with Hasselblad, and the "oh my goodness" design elements), how they make the OPPO Find X5 what it is and where it sits and shines in the crowded smartphone market, while comparing it to last year's OPPO Find X3 Pro (running the same Snapdragon 888 chipset) and another company's flagship smartphone.
The Land Down Under is not the huge smartphone market that other more populous countries represent, but Aussies are people who appreciate, and embrace, mobile technology. The Australian market is currently cornered by Samsung and Apple, but I can see gaps to be exploited, and relish the OPPOrtunity () to positively engage with, and educate, Community, Tech Circles, the Enterprise and Governments around the OPPO Find X5 Series market edge.
I look forward to any queries, questions or comments from the wide ranging, discerning bunch that is the XDA Forums, and also for the Forum's members for keeping me accountable.
As an OPPO Product Ambassador, I will also be sharing on Twitter HERE
Thank you!
Thomas [Relationship Manager]
And my OPPO Find X5 arrives today!
Thank you #OPPO !! #OPPOAmbassadors #OPPOFindX5Series
And she has arrived! Together with the pre-production MariSilicon X Imaging Chip, nicely framed as a momento for being one of the #OPPOAmbassadors #OPPOFindX5Series

Welcome to the OPPO Ambassadors Team~
Hey guys I am glad to be part of OPPO Ambassadors program.
You can read my plans here.
My plans for Oppo Find X5
Hey everyone. I am glad to be part of Oppo Ambassador program. Most of my journey will be covered in this thread. [Unless something warrants a separate thread] Initially, my plan is to cover the software aspect of the phone. I will be primarily...
forum.xda-developers.com
I am really looking forward to receiving my Findx5. What do i expect? Well certainly a confirmation of the excellent work already done by OPPO in the last 2 years from a software and hardware point of view such as the 80w Wooc Super fast charge, I think it can be the solution to the "battery anxiety" with which we often live.
I'm also looking forward to test the new Marisilicon's NPU optimizations related to night photos and videos and the collaboration with Hasselblad on color balance. Well ... I can't wait for it to arrive
Thank you for making this possible and for this great opportunity to be a part of OPPO Ambassador Team. Looking forward to testing out the device and share my thoughts!
The specs that caught my attention when I saw the new #oppoFindX5Pro for the first time. So, I designed some graphic works exclusively for @OPPO Ambassador Team ft the all new #OPPOFindx5series. I'll be sharing my thoughts one by one in detail very soon. So, Stay Tuned with the thread..!

A Pro Grade Camera Setup:
Oppo X5 Pro features a Triple Camera setup on its back, a 50 MP Wide angle lens with f/1.7 aperture, a 50 MP Ultra-wide lens and also a 13 MP Telephoto lens. The 50 MP Wide angle lens also acts as a main shooter for taking amazing pictures.
The setup is also equipped with an impressive set of features like Hassleblad color calibration, 5-axis OIS and a dedicated NPU chip called MariSillicon X. Therefore, the hashtag (#Bringthelight) is quite apt for the device because it has certainly got what it takes to #Savethenight.
The Yin-Yang Color Schemes
There's a reason why white and black are considered the classics. When it comes to the looks, white and black won't go wrong any time. OPPO X5 Pro comes with these two impressive color schemes Ceramic Black and White. They look like Yin and Yang. The two complementary principles of Chinese philosophy. Both of these colors compliments each other and also compliments the looks and feel of the device.
Features Not One but Two Power Houses
Having a flagship processor seems like old school to me after seeing this phone. This phone has got not one but two flagship grade chipset units powering it. Oppo has recently unveiled Find X50 Pro, the next-gen smartphone range in their X-Series lineup. The model was equipped with the highest possible hardware specs right now. It has got the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset with the most powerful Adreno 730 GPU working under its good. Apart from carrying the most powerful CPU and GPU combos, this smartphones also got a new and improved NPU working under their hood. Oppo is calling it as MariSillicon X. To know more about it. You can check out this post.
For the past couple of weeks, my SIM Card has been inserted into a new OPPO Find X5 (Black, 256GB on-board storage, 8GB RAM, and Model CPH2037), which I received from OPPO (thank you for the OPPOrtunity!), as one of their 20 global OPPO Product Ambassadors. It has become my daily driver, and replaces my previous OPPO Find X3 Pro. The following are my views and opinion only.
In real life, I enjoy Smart Phone technology, and manage all of my online presence (including my twitter (more than 181,000 tweets so far), Instagram and LinkedIn accounts), directly from my Smart Phone.
I’ve broken down my OPPO Find X5 Product Review into shorter sections, which makes it either easier to read everything, or perhaps you may just jump to the topics that are important to you:
Summary
Build Quality and Design, and Overall Performance
Camera Performance and Other Performance Features
Best ColorOS Features and Battery Review
Conclusion (you are here)
Conclusion:
The OPPO Find X5 is a premium phone and for me a worthy successor to the Find X3 Pro. It looks different to its competitors by having an organically shaped camera housing which is not the normal rectangular slab. It feels sturdy, not bulky and sits nicely balanced, cradled in your hands for hours at a time.
I have been enjoying getting accustomed to the cameras’ performance, and now night time photography and videography is “a thing” for me. The Marisilicon X NPU and the AI takes a lot of guesswork out for me, and I can now point and shoot without much hesitation, knowing full well, the majority of photos will be of high quality, and of use to me for my social media posts.
I am now becoming accustomed to allowing my Find X5’s battery run down over a normal day, knowing a full charge is a Cup of Coffee and an Almond Croissant time away (with the 80W SUPERVOOC wall charger). Peace of mind, finally.
I thoroughly enjoyed my OPPO Find X3 Pro, and used it for the longest time of any smartphone I’ve owned, but I feel the OPPO Find X5’s fit and feel, finish, smooth performance and intelligent camera system (complete with standalone Marisilicon X NPU) will be my go-to smartphone for a whole lot longer.

Thank you to the OPPO Team and to the Members of the XDA Forums, for providing me this chance to present my real life review.
Thank you for taking the time to read my Real Life Product Review of the OPPO Find X5. I welcome any questions you may have (noting I'm not an experience Tech Reviewer), and if I cannot answer them, I will seek the answer from either another OPPO Product Ambassador, or from the OPPO Team.
Thomas
Kindly see post #2 for the review. There was a bug when uploading causing the duplicate post.
Dear readers, I'm gonna keep this review as short and as straightforward to the point as possible.

Introduction:
What is the Find X5 Pro? Basically it's OPPO's flagship camera smartphone that is capable of taking some amazing shots.
Design:
The OPPO Find X5 Pro in ceramic white looks and feels premium. It is not heavy at all, and the one-piece back panel does look pretty unique in the sea of mobile phones today.
I personally prefer the white over the black in this case.
Display:
The OPPO Find X5 Pro has a 1440P AMOLED panel that refreshes at 120Hz. The key takeout here is that this display is one of the sharpest in the market today (525ppi), is able to automatically change it's refresh rate to save on power, and gets bright enough outdoors (1300nits) for good visibility. It's also super punchy and is one of the best display's you can get today.
Cameras:
This is the most important part of the OPPO Find X5 Pro.
50MP main camera - images taken from the main camera comes with a slightly colder tone, to which I personally prefer. Pictures taken during day and night come with excellent detail, as will be shared below.
50MP ultrawide - this is one of the best ultrawides in the market in my opinion. U/wide shots come with a ton of detail at 50MP, and the best part is you don't really see any image distortion.
Hasselblad colors - OPPO is promising more true-to-life pictures with the Hasselblad tuned images. I find that quite true as you can see from my sample shots.
Processing Power:
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is Qualcomm's most powerful/efficient processor to date. With this, you can expect performance to be top-of-the-line with no lags/delays/stutters in any instance.
Gaming works great too with minimal heating.
Battery Life:
Battery life is sufficient for a full day's use on a single charge, but the charging speeds is on another level.
The 80W charger can charge the Find X5 Pro in crazy speeds so you don't have to worry about not charging at night.
Overall:
If you're looking for one of the best camera smartphones in the market TODAY, this is definitely something you should consider!
Photo Gallery:
Here's a quick video taken with the OPPO Find X5 Pro in a very dark environment.
Location: Sesame Street Ride @ Universal Studios Singapore
Some very nice shots! But those spam fries look horrendous
In-depth reviews and nice shots!!
As someone who uses their Smartphone to capture photos for Instagram, it’s important that the Smartphone is up to the job of not only presenting what you see, but also what you might imagine it to look, or present it in another form. In other words, the same photo, from varied perspectives.
For this project, I’ve focused on Mother Nature and Coffee ... subjects that I post on Instagram, and hey, Mother Nature and Coffee never fail to impress.
I’ve also been impressed with the simplicity of using the OPPO Find X5. To be clear, I prefer to use the Camera’s AI and preset options, as compared to the more manual Pro mode... something a lot of users of the OPPO Find X5 may also opt for, where as the other may be true for the OPPO Find X5 Pro users.

For the Coffee shots, I simply just adjusted the angle of my shots to reveal different aspects of the Coffee Cup, but allowed the Camera's AI to do its thing.
For a point and shoot, relying on the MariSilicon X NPU and AI to do their thing, the Find X5's Camera Array has proven to be a solid performer, with simplicity at its core.
I hope you've enjoyed Mother Nature and Coffee stories from my varied perspectives.
Look forward to your comments and thoughts.
