OPPO Find X5, Step 2: The Unboxing + Surprise

Hello Everyone, XDA,
Here we come. I've just received my OPPO Find X5 as an OPPO Product Ambassador.
You will find the previous thread about Step 1 here: A new journey: The OPPO Product Ambassadors, Step 1
I could have gone for just some pictures here and there for the unboxing; however, I decided to pay it unsafe and make a video of it.
Any critics are good for me and will help me to improve, so don't hesitate to comment and tell me your thoughts.
And yes the surprise is the MariSilicon X NPU Chipset itself sent with the OPPO Find X5.

The Box:
Let's start with what is in the box:
Phone x 1
Charger x 1
USB Data Cable x 1
SIM Ejector Tool x 1
Safety Guide x1
Quick Start Guide x 1
Protective Case x 1
USB Dongle (Type-A to Type-C) x 1
Exclusive Service Card x 1
The box weight is around 623g. Meaning you will find inside the Charger 80W SuperVOOC and the Smartphone, USB cable, and the protective case (TPU)
The packaging is nice with only two colors, dark grey and black, premium colors. You can see a big 5 in front with the name of the Smartphone and a Silver 5G for showing its compatibility with the latest connectivity.
On the left side of the box, only the famous H logo for Hasselblad. On the right, OPPO and Hasselblad, both together, are presently showing their partnership.
Only the Android Robot with "Easy to access to the Google apps you use most" is present on the back.
I'm a little bit disappointed not to see a logo of the SoC used in the phone (whatever Mediatek or Snapdragon, it would have been nice to have them) as well as the mention of the MariSilicon X NPU.
On top of it, the classic information is IMEI, Product number, variant, SN, and Gencod.
I didn't see any Recycle logo. Quite the opposite, the "don't trash it" and "Contains SOYOIL." Theoretically, Soybean oil is one of the most sustainable, bio-renewable, abundant, and economical materials capable of competing with petroleum-derived products.
Except that, nothing more is visible from the outside.
Let's open it.
Inside the Box:
You will first find a black sleeve with the logo OPPO, black on black, containing the protective case, the safety guide in multiple languages, the quick guide and the SIM ejector tool, and the exclusive service card with a QR Code on it.
After removing it, you will find the Smartphone itself, wrapped in its plastics (seems like recycle one, and recycle logos are present, as well the indication where the wireless charger and the fingerprint sensor are located)
There is already a protective film on the screen.
After removing it, you will find another layer of protection, a simple carton with the shape of the smartphone rear.
Under it, the rest of the accessories are the charger, USB Data Cable, and USB Dongle.
And that's all.
Yes, not USB-C to Jack adapter somewhere. The Quick Start Guide is full of Hi-Res Audio, but the Smartphone doesn't have any jack. With the progress made in wireless audio; it might not be an issue for a majority of consumers in 2022. However, if I have a device with this capability, I will use my wired headphones.
Another thing that bothers me is the size of the charger, and its USB port. Its weight is around 106g, which means a lot when you are used to a GaN charger. I'm still wondering why in 2022, no more OEMs integrate chargers with this technology. We will be able to save a maximum of 40% of the space and the weight. And this charger was sent me back years back, especially with a USB Type-A port on it.
The phone:
It's small in my hands, well balanced, and the camera bump is way less than I imagined after saying the Press photos of it. The screen is slightly curved, and the bezels seem thin and symmetric. We can see the partnership between OPPO and Hasselblad on the back.
The color is nice, mat, with some glimpse of glitter depending on how the light reflects. One of the good points is that it would be difficult to see the fingerprint on it.
One thing, or detail, I like is the OPPO green color insert in the power button.
The OPPO Find X5 is still thin and feels great in hands with the protective case. The total weight of the Smartphone and the protective case is around 218g, but as I said, it is well balanced, and I don't really feel it. I even thought it was way less.
And here we are, at the end of this unboxing. Again, thank you OPPO and @OPPO Ambassador Team for this opportunity.​
It is time to conclude this step 2 for this journey.

Unboxing & First Impressions | OPPO Find X5 | OPPO Ambassador

Hello, fellow community members. The device has finally arrived after a long wait & struggle with the customs and I can finally give my Unboxing and Initial Impressions of the device.
I would like to again thank the @OPPO Ambassador Team for providing me with this great opportunity to test out the OPPO Find X5.
Let's get to the unboxing of the device.

The box in which the phone comes in is quite nice & minimal. OPPO has gone with the grey & black combination for the packaging, similar to the OPPO Find X3 Pro's box.
Also, the branding on the box is similar with a huge "5" branding on the top and the device name "OPPO Find X5 5G" at the bottom.
To the left is the Hasselblad logo in black and on the right side is "OPPO | Hasselblad" text branding.
Opening up the box you are first greeted with a small package.
The small package contains a Sim Ejector Pin, an Exclusive Service Card, Quick Start Guide & Safety Information booklet & a soft cover to protect the device from bumps and knocks.
The included case that you get here is quite nice. I liked that OPPO has included a good case in the box that I can use instead of a plain transparent TPU case, which most brands usually include.
The cover has a lip at the front and also surrounding the camera cutout which helps elevate & avoid the camera bump from touching the surface & protecting the lens from scratches.
Below the small package is the phone itself wrapped around in a protective sheet with a pull tab to lift the phone out of the tray that it resides in.
Lastly, underneath the tray, you get a charging brick which is rated to charge at 80 watts, a USB-A to USB-C cable & a USB dongle to seamlessly transfer data from your old phone.
Here's a quick rundown of the list of things that you get inside the box along with the phone.
• Charger
• USB Data Cable
• USB Dongle
• SIM Ejector Tool
• Safety Guide
• Quick Start Guide
• Protective Case
• USB Dongle
• Exclusive Service Card
My first impression of the phone is that it looks and feels very premium. I absolutely loved the smooth texture of the back. I will reveal more about it in my detailed review but so far I really like the looks of this device.
The one that you see here in the picture is the white variant with 8GB RAM + 256GB storage configuration.
OPPO was also kind enough to send me a special gift along with the phone, a frame of their custom Imaging Chip, MariSilicon X. This is the same chip found inside the OPPO Find X5 series.
The unboxing experience has been great so far, looking forward to share my detailed review of the OPPO Find X5 in the coming days.
Stay tuned for the detailed review. Thank you.

Part 2: Build Quality and Design, and Overall Performance (OPPO Find X5 Product Review from the Land Down Under)

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 (you are here)
Camera Performance and Other Performance Features
Best ColorOS Features and Battery Review
Conclusion
Build Quality and Design:
The screen (Gorilla Glass Victus) is as I’d hoped for, bright and a massive range of colours (1 billion apparently… not that I would know, being colour blind), but importantly very easy to use in direct sunlight. While lower in absolute brightness than the Find X3 Pro, I am not disappointed, and it’s still brighter than the Pixel 6 Pro.
The rear of the Find X5 is black frosted matt glass, which is curvier than the front screen, and while super smooth, it does has a visible sandy appearance. That curvier rear really does help the Find X5 to fit snuggly into your hand and it instantly felt comfortable (probably because I was used to the feel of the Find X3 Pro).
Being smaller than the Find X3 and the X5 Pro’s (6.55 inches to 6.70 inches), does make it easier to go one handed, and with very narrow bezels (especially the sides), there is plenty of screen area to make use of, and after two weeks of use, I’ve not missed the extra screen area.
Another big positive coming from the Find X5’s size is the Volume Rocker (mid-upper left side) and the Power Button (mid-upper right side) fall naturally to my left thumb and middle finger respectively (yep, left handed) … there’s no stretching or pushing the wrong keys (looking at you Motorola Edge 20 Pro and Google Pixel 6 Pro).
Weighing in at 196 grams, the Find X5 is not the lightest, nor the heaviest, but in real life the design and fit makes it feel lighter than it should, with its weight well distributed. We still have to undertake QR check-ins here in Australia for certain venues (Hospitals, Restaurants, etc) and my test for balance is a simple one … find a QR Code that has been placed too high on a pole, and then see if you feel comfortable reaching up to scan one handed. With the Find X5, the answer is; yes, it does. It’s a very pocketable device.

Overall Performance:
Last year’s Snapdragon 888 powers the Find X5, and is assisted by the slightly smaller screen size, but also from the use of the standalone, OPPO developed, MariSilicon X Neural Processing Unit (NPU). NPUs are usually built into the chipset and runs the AI and computations for the Camera array. With this setup, the Snapdragon 888 does not have to share its processing power or storage with the Camera Array, with day to day usage resulting in consistently quick processing power and super smooth scrolling with the 120Hz screen refresh rate.
While the on-board RAM is listed on my Find X5 at 8GB, you have the option to add from RAM Expansion (within the Settings), either by 2GB, 3GB or 5GB (storage space permitting), and while I haven’t noticed huge differences, I have noticed how smooth the Find X5 runs.
Together with ColorOS, it provides a velvety smooth experience and so far I have not experienced any stuttering or freezing (something that both the Find X3 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro have been guilty of). The Find X5 has pushed through every task like a proverbial steam train and has not been found wanting at all (I’m not a gamer, but will regularly be working between multiple apps for my social media activities, listening to music, and emailing, so there is a lot happening all at once).
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.

OPPO Find X5, Step 3: Let's move to the review Part 1

Hello everyone,
If you follow me, you have already read this post here.
For those not, here is a little sum up.
I am one of the lucky ones to get my hand on an OPPO Find X5, thanks to OPPO and its OPPO Products Ambassadors program.
And it's the first time for me as I have never had any OPPO before. So first, no expectations, no biases; I will give a chance to the product. ColorOS, UX, build quality, everything will push me to adapt and indeed change the way I use my daily driver smartphone.
I received the black variant in its EU variant while I am in the USA. So, yep, you guess it right, no point for me to test it under USA networks. It will work under AT&T and T-Mobile, not fully compatible with all band frequencies, 5G, or even CA. But it works enough and is compatible with VoWiFi and VoLTE.

Let's Go!
Build Quality and Design
One design to rule them all… Find X3, X3 Pro, X5, X5 Pro. Indeed, the design is pretty close between 2021 and 2022 Flagship. Except for an evolution of the photographic block, you can tell it's a Find X.

You can check more photos of the OPPO Find X5 here or here.
The black color is a matte one. It seems not to retain fingerprints, is easy to clean, and the texture feel is excellent.
I'm used to big phones; obviously, this one feels light, small in my hand. It is well balanced, and buttons are easy to access with your fingers, responsive, clicky, and the power button got the OPPO Green color accentuation on its top. Corners are smooth and round, with no sharp angles, and the screen curves are not of the waterfall type, just enough with a bumper case. It might even be less curvy than the P6 Pro. However, I am a fan of flat screens and slim chassis. But I can go with this X5.
When I searched for differences between the X3 and the X5, I saw the bump and how OPPO integrated the photographic block on the X3 series. I will say I prefer the X5 bump, and it's classier. And OPPO also uses it to write down the "Powered by MariSilicon" on the back glass and Hasselblad partnership on the back cover.
The back cover is made with a frosting matte glass, if you ask. The slope is a 75°. OPPO stated it is the optimal curve for "illuminating (sic)" the OPPO Find X5 body in sunlight or shadow. Okay, maybe, I'll use the case you can find in the box anyway.
Performance
Snapdragon 888 baby. An end of 2020 announced flagship SoC made by Qualcomm.
Is it enough for 2022?
Sure, you just need to look around and see how many SD 870 products you have, brand new, in 2022. So, the 888 will give you what you need for daily use.
I'm getting old, so gaming on the phone… Arf, let's face it, I am not a COD, Genshin, whatever game. However, yes, editing videos, making music, this kind of stuff.
The Snapdragon 888 is working well. But if you're a fan of benchmark and think it's the Graal for smartphones, you will be disappointed. I don't know where I'm doing wrong, but I never was able to go over 745K under AnTuTu. I have other SD 888 smartphones that easily break the 820K scoring. And even my P6 Pro does better. And in every benchmark, the X5 is behind.
Obviously, you have different modes for the battery, for performance, and even a gaming control center. Everything was maxed out to get the best results possible.
Any CPU/GPU Governor inside ColorOS to prevent throttling? Allow the phone to run at its best for long session hours? ColorOS need to be finetuned to unleash SD 888 Power or even driver updated?
After more than one year on the market, I expect OEMs to be able to draw the powerful quintessence of this chipset… And so far, I don't think it is the case. There is room for improvement.
For the 6.55" 120Hz panel, I must say it's closed to the 144hz I used on my Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders. I didn't feel any issue with it; it's responsive and no mistouch so far. The screen is a 10bit panel with a JNCD around 0.4 for color accuracy. You can usually tune it in the setting for your own convenience. Personally, I am not too fond of saturated colors, and I need to see precisely the same thing on the screen as I see in real life, especially for taking pictures.
After that, as always, it will depend on 3rd party dev apps to make their apps and games compatible with the 90 or 120fps capability of the X5.
However, the screen is not LPTO but just LPTS/Flexible (Low-Temperature PolySilicon). And yes, AMOLED not LCD.
So, no dynamic refresh rate from 1hz to 120Hz. And no 90Hz option, just 60 or 120Hz. Plus, if you settle your screen this way, I've not found any MEMC enhancement to match 120Hz with 24/25/30/60 or 90 fps to 120Hz refresh rate (and if I check, the Find X2 had one).
If you ask, the touch sampling is only 240Hz, a little bit low as now flagships have 360/480hz on board.
But it's Gorilla Victus for the protection of it.
Brightness is sufficient even for HDR. It's not 1500 nits peak but more around 900/1000 for an expected 500/800 day-to-day (if I compare with the ones I've and marketed for some brightness values)
I will need to go to a second part 2 to continue as XDA only allows 20 attachments.
Part 2
Part 3
Again, thank you OPPO and @OPPO Ambassador Team for this opportunity.​

When it comes to high-end Android phones, there are few better than the OPPO Find X5 Pro. It features a sharp display, snappy performance, excellent battery life, and a high-quality camera. Overall, this is a great phone that can hold its own against the best of the best and even manages to take some risks but delivers the most and ticks all the boxes for a smartphone to consider in the year 2022. And while the OPPO Find X5 Pro is unquestionably the best phone yet from the brand, it's not for everyone because of its high price tag and slim software experience. However, this is the device you've been waiting for if you want the best from OPPO.
By the way, if you want to check out the FAQ for the OPPO Find X5 Pro, do check it out here.
Thanks a lot for the opportunity and good luck to everyone!

Yes, my friend offers the chance to try out the Oppo Find X5 Pro. After using it, I believe that photography enthusiasts and admirers should consider the Oppo Find X5 Pro as their next smartphone because it is a capable performer all around and has a camera that delights. Capture memorable moments in every light. You'll never be caught off guard whether snapping, working, or playing with a super-fast charge, wireless charging, and a huge battery.
Looking forward )

I own an OPPO Find X5 Pro. OOPO has delivered a good flagship smartphone focused mostly on its cameras with the Find X5 Pro 5G. This is emphasized by the integration of a MariSilicon X image processor, as well as OPPO's collaboration with Hasselblad. The OPPO Find X5 Pro, with its MariSilicon X NPU, appears to be a promising device for OPPO smartphones. It's a real flagship, capable of taking on the iPhones and Galaxy S22 Ultra. The design of the Find X5 Pro has also been improved. And, among all the new phones introduced in 2022, I would say it has the best design. The Find X5 Pro has everything I want in a premium smartphone: a perfect display with adaptive refresh rate, a solid camera system, extended battery life, lightning-quick charging, IP68 certification, and a sleek design. I'm looking forward to the Find X6 Pro!!!
