I am very excited to have received the OPPO Find X5 Pro in Ceramic White. My model has 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. I have been using this new phone for two full weeks now, as my primary device. This is my review of the OPPO Find X5 Pro.
Build Quality / DesignWhen unboxing your phone for the first time, you’ll instantly notice the bold new design choice which features sloped edges around the camera bump. It gives the phone a very fluid look, as if it’s water flowing down from the peak of the device, and runs off the edges. The back of the phone is made of a premium ceramic material which has a very high-end feel to it. This quality extends to the buttons, with very solid and clicky interactions.

The white model that I have has a lot of contrast between the lettering on the back, against the milk-like surface. I really like the way this phone looks and feels, overall.
Performance / GamingUnsurprisingly, this phone is very fast. Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and paired with 12GB of RAM, this phone is pretty maxed out in terms of specs. ColorOS 12.1 is faster and more responsive than ever. Games and apps launch quickly while being able to make 3D graphics look amazing.
I ran a benchmark on my phone to hopefully give a better idea of how fast this phone really is.
One of my favorite games to play is PUBG, which also happens to be one of the most resource-intensive 3D games for Android. When I play on my OPPO Find X5 Pro, I'm able to run the game at the max settings, while maintaining a steady 120fps. This smooth gameplay looks fantastic on the 120hz display. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 does an impressive job of processing 3D graphics and rendering large open worlds.
Best ColorOS Features
ColorOS 12.1 ships as the default software on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. The included software has many features built-in that make customizing your phone fun and simple. One of the best ways to show off your personal style is with Always-On Display. You can create a custom pattern, text, and clock style to appear on your phone. My Always-On Display shows my three favorite bird emojis, a jellyfish photo that I took at the aquarium, and the time and date in the format that I choose.
Everyone values their privacy and security, which is why I really appreciate some of the features like App lock, Hide apps, Private Safe, and System cloner. Using the ColorOS privacy tools, you can even shut off your camera or microphone so that they cannot be used by any apps or services at all. Your privacy dashboard gives you a quick overview of all of the apps that are collecting data like camera, microphone, location, etc.
ColorOS is filled with great features that will enhance your use of your smartphone. Included apps like O Relax and Music Party are worth checking out as well.
Camera ReviewTo put the camera of the OPPO Find X5 Pro to the test, I took it to my local aquarium, where I could use it in a variety of different lighting situations. There are several key camera modes that I find myself using the most, which provide more flexibility with the way I edit and share my photos.
If I am shooting photos that I intend to edit on my computer, I use the RAW PLUS feature. This will let me capture RAW photos with tons of data. When I want to use the 2X camera or shoot with NIGHT mode, I’ll activate the 10-bit color feature instead. I can easily edit these photos with the ColorOS editing tools, while still preserving the color data of a photo. The last mode that I use frequently is the standard PHOTO mode with AI scene enhancements on. This is best for shots that I intend to post straight to social media, and don’t want to worry about edits or file size issues.
There are a lot of features to explore with this phone and different ways to take advantage of the powerful sensors in the front and rear cameras. Here is a full view of the camera specs of this phone.
Rear:
50MP Main Camera: f/1.7; FOV 80°; 1G6P lens
50MP Ultra-wide Angle Camera: f/2.2; FOV 112°; 7P lens
13MP Telephoto Camera: f/2.4; FOV 45°; 5P lens
Front:
32MP Front Camera: f/2.4; FOV 90°; lens: 5P
ConclusionThe OPPO Find X5 Pro feels like a very polished device. The introduction of the 80W SuperVOOC charging definitely changes the way you use and charge your phone. The cameras are some of the best that you’ll find in any smartphone, and inspire you to take more photos using features that make the whole process simple and fun. The performance is fast enough that you’ll be able to use this phone for years to come and be perfectly happy with the speed at which it runs apps and games.
I am very excited to continue to explore the capabilities of my OPPO Find X5 Pro, as I show off its design and Ceramic White color.

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 (you are here)
Best ColorOS Features and Battery Review
Conclusion
Camera Performance:
The true aim for the MariSilicon X NPU is to fundamentally improve Camera performance, and this is the main area of the Find X5 that I am genuinely excited about. Better night time and low light performance around videography and photography, with quicker overall processing, are two outcomes directly attributed to the MariSilicon X NPU.

While we are on the subject of the Camera Array, it would be remiss of me not to mention the Hasselblad partnership with OPPO in the Find X5 Series. It certainly cannot hurt to have one of the World’s iconic Camera Brands co-develop the provisioning of Natural Colour Calibration and Hasselblad Filters; in their words “when classic meets the future”.
We all know how important good filters are in the social media arena … its critical to make your photos and videos “pop” so that they stand out on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter.
As a photographer of food, flowers, and landscapes, I really am impressed as to how quickly the camera array switches to Macro and back, each and every time, and solidly.
No camera array in any Smart Phone on the market is perfect, and all camera arrays are compromised in their attempt to cover as many situations as possible. The Find X5’s cameras deliver really solid natural results, both in full and low light (even night) and all via the very user friendly Camera App’s UI. You can delve deeper into the Camera App and go full-on Pro Mode, bringing out the professional photographer in you, or if you’re like me, switch on the AI and let the Camera’s AI do its thing.
The 3 camera array at the rear consists of a 50 MP wide-angle and 50 MP uItra-wide-angle and 13 MP telephoto (2 X Optical Zoom) cameras, and is partnered by the 32 MP front facing camera. No microscope camera from the Find X3 Pro.
As someone summarised my Instagram posts as “the phone stays with you for every breakfast, and witnesses your morning moments and captures the vivid colours of the food and coffee” (thanks
Other Performance Features:
Bluetooth is memorable by its fast and hard connectivity, and the Find X5 is a solid jump ahead of the Find X3 Pro, which sometimes did not play well with my car’s Android Auto, or my collection of 15 Smartwatches and 4 Bluetooth earphones. Why this is, for me is a mystery, as both use Bluetooth 5.2. Set and forget!
Listening to music or videos without Bluetooth earphones is not something I do, but I spent the afternoon playing my music through the dual speakers of the Find X5 (one upward and the other downward) and there is plenty of sound which didn’t sound out of place, but back to the Bluetooth earphones I go.
While I normally use Bluetooth earphones for calls, I spent the weekend making and receiving calls without, and call clarity seems to be excellent, with no one asking me to repeat myself, and I don’t need to ask them either, but back to Bluetooth earphones I go again.
WiFi connects quickly and has been found to be very responsive and seems to hold its connection even as you drive up the street!
The USB-C charging port is also USB 3.1 and supports OTG (on the go) and you have a USB-C to USB-A adaptor to take advantage of higher transfer speeds. You never know when you need that saved file.
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.

Build Quality & Design ::
OPPO Find X5 Truly caters the Word Flagship and it Uses Super Premium Materials and it feels great to hold it on hands and its almost the right size. Not so big,not so small. The Size and the choice is screen size is very much apt for Personal Movie Experience
Performance & Screen ::
Im never into Gaming so Let me give you a glimpse on the Performance from my personal experience while i was using it for a short while.
Oppo Find X5, phone is powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor, paired with Practical 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, App Launch including Photoshop,Lightroom and Snapseed are Super Fast and theres no Lag in Import,Processing and Export too. Handles Large files with Ease.
Oppo Finx X5 has an 6.55 Inch Amoled Screen with HDR 10+ and Supports 120 Hz. The 120 Hz is a Bliss while reading but it consumes more battery than the regular 60 Hz Mode. i Preferred to use 60 Hz as Default. It has a resolution of FHD at 2400x1080 and is bright enough to be used comfortably outdoors with 500 nits, it can be boosted to 800 nits, i tried using it under direct sunlight and i could manage to use it without any problem.
Battery ::
The Battery has 4800 Mah which is like very practical, with the Supported 80W SuperVOOC Charger the charging time is Super Fast and i could attain 3% to 100% in about 40 Mins. Put up on a charger head for the shower and when you are back you should get a days charge up and running if u are a casual user.
Speakers ::
The Stereo Speakers are quite impressive, the sound through ringtones and song ringtones are rather clean than loud. I Personally prefer this rather than loud jarring speakers from the ones i used earlier.
Color OS ::
Color OS is quite New to me and Its close to Stock OS. Thats one of the Favorite thing for me. The main Settings menu features Oppo's colorful icons for easier navigation. Android 12's new privacy features are implemented. You get a summary of all the apps that use your data, location, camera, microphone, etc., all in one place. It's called Privacy Dashboard and is something like Digital Wellbeing but privacy-focused. Most of the UI elements on ColorOS can be customized. We are talking deep customization of app icons, accent colors, quick toggles and their shape, font, fingerprint reader animation, Edge lighting for incoming notifications0, of course, the Always-on display.
Camera ::
Lets Begin Talking about the Most Important and The Favorite Part From OPPO X5. i.e The Camera
Selfie Camera ::
A 32 MP Selfie Camera With F2.4 Aperture. This should be very much okay for most users as it can convincingly make good portraits with Decent bokeh effect. The Skin Tones are quite real and theres no artificial bleaching.
The Main Cameras ::
Find X5 relies on Two 50M Sony IMX766, 1/1.56", 1.0µm sensors for its Main and Ultra-wide cameras. Both sensors support multi-directional PDAF, of course. Their lenses are what sets them apart. They use uses a 13MP, 1/3.4" sensor paired with f/2.4 aperture for Telephoto. Thanks to the Hasselblad Tuning and MariSilicon Neural Processing Unit. The Results are outstanding. The Videos Has Pro Mode & 5 Axis Stabilization which almost reduces the Use of the Gimbal and we do have HDR Log Mode to Record video for Greater Post production Compatibility.
I Have been using this Camera From 5AM in the Morning to 1 AM in Midnight and the best part i like about the Camera is Super Fast and Accurate Focus in most Conditions. I Have used it under Various conditions From Harsh Sunrise to Blazing Light Trails
Some Studio Portrait Samples ::
Some Architecture Samples ::
Twilight Samples ::
Long Exposure Samples ::
These Were Mounted on a Tripod.
Some Night Scape Samples ::
Conclusion ::
Overall Im Very Happy with the Phone as My Primary use is Photos,Videos and Social Media and Sometimes Photo Processing and The Phone Does the Job in a Fantastic Manner. If you are Someone who wants a Daily No Nonsense Phone which can Shoot some Wonderful Photos, Then you should Consider Oppo Find X5 or Oppo Find X5 Pro

Build Quality/ DesignOnce glance at it, OPPO Find X5 Pro's back design looks very characteristic, you can easily recognize it from another smartphones. It is one of the most beautiful designed smartphones I have seen, its streamline design feels very natural, compare with glass, the new OPPO Find X5 Pro rear is made of ceramic material which is more gentle, warmer and reliable.
Here is my OPPO Find X5 Pro unboxing video:
Performance/GamingFor today’s mobile phone products, the screen display become more important. OPPO Find X5 Pro’s screen is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel, very high resolution 1440 x 3216, with this display we can have a good contrast and nice color. And up to 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, this higher refresh rate display makes moving content looks smoother, also makes a big difference when it coming to gaming. when I am playing League of Legends: Wild Rift and Brawl Stars, it can handle very well, and also you hardly to find the rear is hot it because of ceramic material that can maintain effective cooling under game pressure.
League of Legends: Wild Rift
Brawl StarsBest ColorOS FeaturesOPPO Find X5 Pro has a huge range of customization options, I particularly like the Always-On Display function, Adaptive Sleep function and Air Gestures function. For example, I use Air Gestures function to switch the channel when I play TikTok, no need to touch the panel.
Camera ReviewOPPO Find X5 Pro camera system equipped with MariSilicon X chip and co-developed with Hasselblad, as a photographer I will be more expecting the camera performance. The coolest thing is to check out the flagship sensor on triple cameras, wide and ultra-wide with 50 megapixels cameras, telephoto with 13 megapixels camera, so we can have a pretty decent improvement in low light performance and significantly 4k ultra night video.
I've spent two weeks to test the OPPO Find X5 Pro camera performance mainly in 3 situations.
1. To test camera performance in difference period, such as to capture in the daytime, sunset & night.
2. To test camera performance in difference environment, such as to capture in outdoor or indoor.
3. To test camera performance in difference subject, such as landscape, nature and food.
Here are OPPO Find X5 Pro two sample videos took in Singapore,
1. 4K 2160P 60fps Merlion Park day walk:
2. 4K 2160P 60fps Marina Bay night walk:
When you open the camera, you can easily to see a Hasselblad orange shutter button and when you press the shooting button, a Hasselblad shutter sound will be heard.
SLR-Level-5-Axis Image Stabilization
This time OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a real 5-axis optical image stabilization, this new stabilization technology can occur on 5 different levels and let it reach DSLR-level. If you are using DSLR cameras, you probably know how useful and powerful the 5-axis stabilization is to taking picture or doing videography in low light environment.
It can improve stability, sharpness and color performance, to produces a perfect night photos and videos, even though at the image corners, it also can provide a good quality.
OFF
ONUltra HDR Photography
Usually I will on HDR AUTO setting that phone will detect the environment and use HDR automatically, when I shoot in HDR mode, the camera takes several pictures in quick succession, each having a different exposure value. The phone inside software then merges the images into a single photo.
Compare with non-HDR photo, HDR photo provides sharper details from the darkest and brightest areas.
OFF
ON>> Part 2
Welcome to part 2 of my review
Part 1
Features
When it comes to features, there are just so many to list and many of them are useful such as
Multi-Screen Connect: As OPPO puts it, you can quickly transfer files between your PC and phone. Edit documents saved on your phone from your PC. Receive phone notifications on your PC. This is definitely handy as now I don’t need to look at my phone when I’m working, whenever I receive notifications on my phone, I can interact it from my PC.
Gestures: There are a plethora of gestures and motions you can use to make day to day usage very easy: Swipe down with 3 fingers to take a screenshot, air gestures, if your hand is not clean or its wet, you can do wave your hand to answer a call or scroll through YouTube. Continuing with gestures, you can assig some gestures whilst the screen is turned off i.e. draw the letter v to turn the torch light on which is very inconvenient instead of having to unlock the phone, swipe the notification shade and then enabling the torch. You can also set it up so it opens an app of your choice.

Personalisation: Here you can customise your phone which includes:

Themes: Here you can download many premade themes from the online store or individual aspects such as fonts, wallpapers, live wallpapers or video ringtones.
Icons: You can select the icon style from OPPO’s default, Material Style, Pebble or Custom where you can change the shape and whether to show app names or not.
There is also other options that fingerprint animation and edge lighting (for notification)
Camera
It seems OPPO is really focused on the camera this time round, so much so that now the Find X series has a 6nm Imaging NPU called MariSilicon X. OPPO says that it features the best-in-class power efficiency, 20 bit ultra-high dynamic range, real-time RAW processing, and Enhanced RGBW Pro Mode. It will enable high-quality 4K AI Night Video and live preview on Android smartphones for the first time. To take things further, OPPO has partnered up with Hasselblad to refine the camera prowess.
The triple camera set-up consists of 50MP main and ultra-wide lenses (Sony IMX 766), 13MP 2x zoom telephoto lens, and a 32MP selfie camera. The cameras have 5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization SLR-level technology which helps with taking photos and videos whilst you’re on the move.
I have taken lots of photos and they all turned out excellent, you can see lots of details. Portrait photos are also really, good probably the best I have seen yet. Night photography is also impressive as well as the 4k Ultra Night Video.
Battery Life
The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a MASSIVE 5000mAh battery that is higher than that of the Xiaomi 12 Pro Galaxy S22. I have found the battery life to last me easily over 1 day and with Super power saving mode, that can be extended to 2 days! As for the charging speed, it charged from being fully drained to 100% in just 36 minutes. This mainly thanks to the 80w SuperVooc charger that is included in the box. I don’t have the wireless charger which is dubbed as AirVooC, but its charges at 50w, that’s better than the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s wired 45w charger.
Conclusion
Overall I have to say this phone impressed me a lot, I mean why wouldn’t it? It has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, excellent main camera, massive 5000mAh battery with really fast charging. It has a beautiful 6.7” QHD+ AMOLED display which is a joy for media consumption. ColorOS12 has come really far, it doesn’t feel really heavy at all, no noticeable lag and everything is just so though out. The cameras are excellent, just point and click and you get great photos.
Having said all of that, It is slighty on the pricey side but I think this a great alternative to the Galaxy S22 series.
#OPPOFindx5series #OPPOAmbassadors
Hi Everybody
This will be my final thoughts review of the OPPO Find X5 Pro in Ceramic White that I received from OPPO as being part of their ambassador program. This phone has become my daily driver since getting it. The Phone I received comes with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.
Build Quality and Design:
After I unboxed the phoned you are greeted with a device that looks like it was moulded around the hardware on the inside due to the way the Ceramic on the back of the phone has been seamlessly made to incorporate the camera bump/cut out. When holding the phone at first, I thought the back would be a finger print magnet but no matter how hard I tried its very hard to even notice them. Coming from the beautiful curved Ceramic White back you swope round to the equally curved 6.7-inch LTPO2 AMOLED screen which is protected by the masters at Corning with their Gorilla Glass Victus and also has a peak refresh rate of 120Hz and HDR10+. The screen on the Find X5 pro also incorporates the front facing camera in the top left corner however this very hard to see with day-to-day usage the only time I see it is when I use the pinch to zoom feature of YouTube only in that use case do you see it on the screen. The phone also comes with stereo speakers which are located in the main earpiece and also on the bottom of the phone. Speaking of the bottom you will find more stunning curves that lead to the dual sim tray and the usb type-c port which can charge up to 80 watts fast charging.
Performance and Gaming
Inside this beast of a phone, you have the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 to give this some real performance gains plus it being able to better manage the battery you don’t need to sacrifice a whole lot of battery just to have a we gaming session. I have been playing games on my phone using not only installed gaming from the play store but also via Goggles Stadia platform and even when the phone feels warm to the touch the games that I have played from my naked eye can’t see any stuttering or dropped frames. The phone just keeps powering on and even if you do play games until you kill the battery having it charge up to 50% in around 12 minutes will have you gaming again. As a daily phone without gaming, I am impressed with how much the battery lasts. I work 12-hour shifts and with phones I have owned over the years I struggled to get full day’s work out of them without enabling battery saver modes. With the Find X5 Pro to this day I have not needed to enable such modes and even when I get home from work, I still have plenty of battery left to see me through until I go to bed.

Camera
Since getting this phone I have been trying to push the limits of its camera array consisting of three cameras 50MP Main Camera, 50MP Ultra-Wide-Angle Camera and a 13MP Telephoto Camera. No matter what I tried the images always came out clear with the exception of images that are taken at 20x zoom which will always look grainy to some extent. This phone also has the added benefit of having 5-Axis Optical Image stabilisation so when shooting photos are videos they will come out as if taken using a tripod as it does a fantastic job of keeping what’s in your viewfinder stable. I even decided to give the phone to my nephew to see how shaky he could make a video as he only 2 years old so runs about a lot yes there was some shaking in the resulting video however, I am still impressed as I know if given a phone without the Image stabilisation on the camera lens the video would have been awful to view. Having the ability to enable 10-bit colour as well really helps when taking photos at night time as it makes the colours pop as if a light was there. For avid photographer’s you can also enable the camera to output in RAW format for editing directly on the phone or exported to computer-based image editing software. On the front of the phone there is a 32MP camera which I have plenty of fun with as the nephew loves taking photos of himself so I have been using it as an excuse to build photo memories of him before he all grown up and doesn’t want photos taken with his uncle anymore☹. The camera system also has some secret sauce in the way of its MariSilicon X in house developed chip which allows you to shoot videos in near pitch black without losing details that you would on a normal phone camera. OPPO has even went a step more and joined with Hasselblad to tune colours to be more natural when taking photos and give it the feel of using a DSLR camera.
Notable Features:
Since OPPO have added their own style to android they have also added some tools which I think make it stand out more than the competition in the settings menu you will see an option for privacy in there you will find perfect tools to keep your phone safe for others to use if you forget to lock your phone. You have the ability to Lock apps, hide apps, private safe for all sorts of content to don’t was prying eyes seeing and a system cloner. The privacy menu also has options for notifying you when the camera or microphones are being used useful if sideloading apps that may have been modified to steal personal data or listen in on conversions. It also goes as far as to alert you if an app reads your clipboard data. When it comes to features the OPPO development team have also added a battery booster system that gives you an eta of how long the battery will last it also gives you optimisation tips to extent the battery even more or you can enable high performance mode to make your phone fly at the cost of battery draining quicker.

Conclusion
In conclusion this phone is an absolute beast every now and then I notice we small things that confirms to you that this is a flagship smartphone. Beaty and the beast comes to mind when describing this phone all beauty on the outside beast on the inside. Having the 80W SuperVOOC charger is perfect for the times I need some extra battery for going on long walks with my partner or on my own with earphones in. Having a smartphone that packs so much tech into it is amazing it true does feel like OPPO went back to the drawing board and reimagined what a flagship phone should have and to me they just went give it all the things and more. Also I would like to thank the @OPPO Ambassador Team once again for bring me along in this ride as an ambassador
