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?

OPPO FIND X5 REVIEW: A silky phone experience with few issues - PART 1

OPPO FIND X5 REVIEW: A silky phone experience with few issues CHAPTER 1.​After a month from the unboxing of my Oppo Find X5 as an OPPO brand ambassador I'm ready to share my full review. It will be mainly a user experience focused analysis.
Oppo Find X5 is an affordable flagship phone compared to the premium-flagship OPPO Find X5 Pro. The relevant differences are:
- Oppo Find X5: v6,5" LPTS FullHD+ AMOLED Display with Adaptive refresh rate (60, 90, 120Hz) and a maximum brightness of 1000 nits vs Oppo Find X5 Pro: 6,7" LPTO 2.0 QHD+ AMOLED Display with Adaptive refresh rate (1-120Hz) and a maximum brightness of 1300 nits
- Oppo Find X5: SOC Snapdragon 888 (2021) and 8 GB of RAM vs Oppo Find X5 Pro: SOC Snapdragon 8 Gen. 1 (2022) and 12GB of RAM
- Oppo Find X5: 4800mAh battery vs Oppo Find X5 Pro: 5000mAh Battery
- Oppo Find X5: 2 axis OIS on main camera and standard lenses vs Oppo Find X5 Pro: 5 axis OIS with glass lenses
- Oppo Find X5: Charging with SuperVOOC 80W and AirVOOC 30W vs Oppo Find X5 Pro: Charging with SuperVOOC 80W and AirVOOC 50W
Since Oppo Find X5 costs 999€ and X5 Pro costs 1299€, the question is: is it necessary to pay 300€ more to go Pro?
REVIEW TOPICS AND LINKS (mandatory since XDA doesn't support more then 40 images per post)
CHAPTER 1 - Build Quality, Display, Haptics & Audio, Performance and Gaming
CHAPTER 2 - Battery and Charging, Color OS Features and Camera
PART 0 - UNBOXING​I hate to repeat myself Check my Unboxing to know what hides in the super complete package of Oppo Find X5
PART 1 - Build Quality and Design ​Nothing to add here: the phone is amazing! 6,5" inch display with slightly curved edges both on front and the back, a Gorilla glass back treated to look and feel like silk, maybe the best touch finishes I've ever been experienced in almost 15 years of smartphones
In my opinion 6,5 inches are the perfect spot, I can use it with one hand most of the time and Color OS offers a couple of amazing UX trick to help you: One Hand Mode and Icon Pull-Down Gesture (see this in action on Color OS Launcher)
Build Quality is also great: gloss aluminium frame, nice clicky buttons on both sides (volume on the left and power on the right), Gorilla Glass Victus on the front with a preapplied screen protector. Really a top tier smartphone. An honorable mention to the beautiful camera bump with its curved raised glass. A nice touch of class.
Perfect position and reactivity for the optical fingerprint reader: fast and accurate.
A nice find is the USB Type C 3.1 with video output, a feature I really like since I often use my smartphone with external monitor or TV
PART 2 - Display ​The Oppo Find X5 Display is a very good one, but it doesn't shine in the landscape of current flagship Android smartphones in the same price range. It has a LTPS AMOLED Display with 120Hz Dynamic Refresh Rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate . Since it's not an LPTO Display, refresh rate is fixed according to the app your are using (this is not configurable), here some examples:
Some apps (i.e Youtube) are locked at 60Hz and experience is not super smooth, but it's a minor issue. It would be great to raise refresh rate to 120Hz when scrolling all the apps.
Display brightness is good (max 1000 nits during HDR Video, 800 with auto brightness), visibility in direct sunlight is fair and with 402 PPI everything is super nice.
In the evening and in very low lights environments, the brightness sensor behaves somewhat conservatively by lowering the brightness too much. This leads you to manually adjust the brightness level to make the readability perfect especially using Dark Mode.
Color OS offers a lot of settings to optimize colors and comfort:
I really love Cinematic DCI-P3 Pro Mode because colors looks so natural and well reproduced. Also the support for HDR 10+ makes the Oppo Find X5 a super media consumption device. The images really pops out of the screen!
It's also very nice that OPPO has decided to add the Munsell 100 test, which allows the calibration of the screen tint. Each user can then adjust the colors according to their vision to achieve the most comfortable viewing effects.
PART 3 - Audio and Haptics ​
Let's start with Haptics: the new O-Haptics engine it's configurable on two feels: Crisp or Gente and is very well implemented system-wide. You can really feel the natural feedback swiping, scrolling and typing.
Oppo also took care of the audio section. The smartphone has a main speaker in the bottom and uses the earpiece as a second speaker to replicate a stereo effect.
The result is good, with a sustained volume that never distorts. Hands-free calls are also excellent, even in relatively noisy environments.
Color OS shines with a lot of useful settings. In evidence the presence of Dolby Atmos effects, which give body and space to the audio in the headphones.
Unfortunately there is no 3.5mm jack but with a Type C analog dongle (not included) I can still use my favorite wired headphones.
If you prefer Bluetooth headphones, Oppo Find X5 offers a Bluetooth 5.2 module with support for all the best codecs: in addition to the classic SBC we find AAC, Apt-X, Apt-X HD, Apt-X Adaptive, Apt-X TWS +, LDAC and LHDC for wireless Hi-Res quality on the go.
I've tested Bluetooth with my Technics AZ60 in LDAC: the maximum volume is not the highest but the quality is very good.
Unfortunately Color OS lacks of a graphic equalizer and a finer tool for audio configuration.
Color OS offers the possibility of choosing the recording source in case external devices - such as headphones or external microphone - are connected to the phone.
PART 4 - Connectivity, Performance and Gaming ​
Do you think Snapdragon 888 is old? Nothing more wrong! The 2021 flaghship SOC is still a solid performer and after a year of optimizations (Snapdragon 888 is well known by OPPO since it was used in the Find X3 Pro) it runs so fast, smooth and with almost no overheat. All the apps open fast , system is very smooth and the 8 GB of RAM are sufficient for good multitasking. I would have preferred 12GB of RAM instead of expandability (2,3 or 5GB) using the internal UFS memory (slower than RAM).
Since performance are top notch, you can consider OPPO Find X5 a flagship with minor (almost imperceptible) differences in performance compared to its big brother X5 Pro.
Gaming experience is amazing with a great level of details and high frame rate in almost all the most demanding games. Here you can see benchmark performance of CPU, GPU and UFS Internal memory:
For the hardcore gamers, there is a Performance Mode that unleashes the full power of the SOC at the cost of more overheating and shorter battery life.
It is also possible to configure the Game Toolkit as you like to adapt the performance according to the game being played.
The connectivity sector of Oppo Find X5 is flawless: 4G reception is truly excellent and is more stable and reactive than S22 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro. Wifi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are also perfect.
The GPS is also fast and accurate.

My Review as a Photographer for OPPO Find X5 Pro

Hi All !
So today I am here with a detailed product review of Oppo Find X5 Pro as a Photographer POV.
First of all let me introduce myself to make this thread interesting.
My name is Abhishek Yadav and I am the only Oppo Product Ambassador for Oppo Find X5 Pro in India.
Firstly my expectation with this device was way too high from its first teaser as its the top most flagship product of OPPO this year till now.
I received a Glaze Black color variant which looks super classy in all the lighting condition as the ceramic is so well polished that you can use it like a mirror and the super cool thing about glaze black variant is it adapts in all the lighting conditions to look super premium every time.
Have a look at the device first.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hope you can feel the flagship class of this device through my product photography.
Now let's talk about performance .
This device comes with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1 which is Ground-breaking innovation in terms of AI, photography, gaming, and connectivity in todays day to day life.
With this we can play high graphic games super smoothly with good FPS and no doubt about the RAM and Storage Capacity as always OPPO did a great job by providing 12 GB + 256 GB variant LPDDR5 @ 3200 MHz 4 x 16-bit RAM Type and UFS3.1 @ 1x2 Lanes HS-Gear4 ROM Type. And it does not have any SD card slot with is fine to keep it speedy and secure at the same time.
In Terms of Display It has a massive 6.70" QHD+(3216 × 1440) AMOLED (Flexible/LTPO) Display with 92.70% Screen to body ratio with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus which has a Brightness level of 8192.
The display uses a dynamic refresh rate switching technology which enables the display refresh rate to dynamically switch to lower refresh rates to save power and keep your system running smoothly.
It works on a minimum 1Hz to maximum upto 120Hz with a touch sampling rate of 240Hz with 1.07 billion colors (10-bit) of Color Depth and with Pixel Density of 525 PPI.
How can we forget to talk about the OS (The Amazing Color OS 12.1).
So the OPPO Find X5 Pro runs on Android Version 12 on top of Color OS 12.1 which gives so much of customization to keep our smartphone look and feel amazingly smooth.
And as its my personal review I can share some of my personally loved feature of Color OS 12.1
>Multi-Screen Connect
>Flexible Windows
>Personalization
>Camera and microphone toggles & indicators
>Oppo Share
>Reverse Wireless Charging
>Omoji
>Air Gestures
>Super Recorder
>O Relax
>Bionic Eye Protection
>O1 Ultra Vision Engine
And the most interesting , as a flagship device this also comes with IP68 Water and Dust Resistance
The speakers are also decent enough to provide you deep bass and clear sound experience. One you start listening to the speakers personally you feel the flagship level and richness of this device.
And In the battery compartment , This OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a massive 5000mAh Battery with 80W SUPERVOOC which delivers 50% charge in just 12 minutes.
And to provide flagship experience oppo added wireless charging with 50W AIRVOOC Delivers 100% charge in just 47 minutes which is amazing in terms of high graphic work which can drain your battery faster so we don't have to worry about this now.
Customized Cooling System
-A next generation heat-dissipation system, with a super-large vapor chamber which is nearly 75% larger and cutting-edge 3D graphene films, helps the phone stay cool even during intensive tasks with about 75% Larger vapor chamber.
This device has a X-axis linear motor by which user can Feel the vibration of every goal and point scored. With O-Haptics, you can even set different vibrations for different friends and contacts.
So last but not the least one of my favorite part of this Review.
The Camera Review
Firstly just wanted to tell you that in this part there are some of the sample shots "not so professional edited shots" to get an idea about the camera quality .
and will share my photography experience with this device in the upcoming thread.
As OPPO says "Record Memorable Moments in Any Light". Yeah its true with this epic camera setup and capabilities you can shoot in any situations.
Let me share you the camera hardware details with Oppo's Official Page so that you can get the exact details in just an image.
This is the flagship camera setup in collaboration with Hasselblad and I don't need to write whole paragraph to let you all understand about the camera setup.

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

Hello Everyone,
The last part with my final thoughts.
The first one is here.
The second here
The third one is this thread.
Camera
For the camera review. First, 2 weeks of snow, rain, wind, cold weather. Not the best for going outside, taking pictures without gloves, or having incredible scenery to shoot.
So, I will go further later.
But so far, I am still trying to understand why the primary camera is only 6P when the UW is 7P. And why only 110° for UW. And why only 5P for Telephoto. And why no x4 optical zoom. And why only 2 axis stabilization? And where is the microscope lens from the X3.
And why an additional imaging NPU when nobody uses all the functionalities of the triple Snapdragon ISP?
Okay, it's a lot of why? But if you come from the X3 series, you will definitely ask yourself these questions and see if the X5 is worth the update.
Spoiler alert: I won't be able to answer that.

First, the MariSilicon AKA Imaging NPU:
4K Ultra (AI) Night Video
Ultra HDR
Hasselblad science
18 TOPS for AI Computing (11.6Tops/W)
20Bits Dynamic Range
Realtime RAW
The MariSilicon is made of a NPU, an ISP and a Memory Subsystem (8.5GB/S DDR).
It should be 20x faster than the ISP From the X3 Pro (meaning the ISP from SD 888). But Denoise (Noise Reduction Algorithm). They compare the 20Bits vs the 18Bits from SD888 bringing more contrast and brightness + a RGBW Pro Mode.
Okay, SD888 has three 18Bits ISP, got a Scalar, Tensor, and Vector Units, can process 0.1 lux video, capture 4K HDR videos, got AI-Based AF and Auto Exposure, got 26 TOPS of power processing.
​So, on the paper, I'm pretty confuse. Okay, it's the trend, Google with its Tensor, Xiaomi with its C1 and soon C2, OPPO with MariSilicon, and VIVO with its V1…
Okay, it might help OEMs dev bring the same libraries and computational algorithms to whatever the SOC you use from Qualcomm to Unisoc via Mediatek and don't care about their ISP capacity, from mid-range to premium flagship.
But you need to feed them, with data, scenarios, and for now, it's only on the X5 and X5 Pro under Qualcomm and even the Mediatek variant doesn't have it.
So, so far, is MariSilicon working at 100% of its efficiency?
I don't know the same, but I don't think so. New technology always needs at least half a year in the wild to be better. It should be interesting to redo all the tests in September or before the end of the year with all the updates done in between.
Concerning the app, you will find the usual modes like Night, Video, Pro, Photo (AI, HDR, and 50Mp), Portrait, and the extra ones like Pano, Movie, Slo-Mo, Time Lapse, Long Exposure, Dual Video, Sticker (kill me), Text Scanner and the Hasselblad XPAN Mode.
For the XPAN mode, you have a color or black and white option, even if you don't have any B&W dedicated sensor. So, you will only have the 42/45mm mode and not the 30mm (for now, who knows).
For the color's restitution, we are close to the one in the OP9 Pro under Oxygen OS 11, meaning good even perfect for many users of this device. However, as usual, different lens construction, different aperture… meaning different color restitution between UW, Wide, and Tele…
And guess what, because the UW got a better construction lens, the photos taken with it are better than many flagships. And that's something that drives me crazy. If the UW would have a f/1.8 7P and the primary camera also the same thing (or even better a f/1.7), the Sony IMX 766 potential might have been exploited. But let's remember, we just received one and only update so far. And usually, there is always a gap, for the best or the worst, after a few OTAs.
Now, if I had to compare… Xiaomi is offering way more options, including for Vloggers and Bloggers, different long exposure modes or even videos modes (movies effects such as magic zoom, time freeze, // worlds, etc.), 8K, and Google a better computational AI and tech for skin restitution, portrait, night shots (plus an x4 optical zoom).
If OPPO can include functionalities from them or compete with them, Bingo.
Here are some pictures taken below. No fancy photography, no artistic one, at first, I try the phone as 90% of us, you take out of your pocket, you point and shoot, that's it, ready to go in your IG, WhatsApp group, or to your mom.
The folder with untouched pictures (and more shots) is here.
And don't get me wrong, I am one of those who think before having a cutting edge DLSR or Camera, know first how to shoot, compose your scene, and have a vision. It's not because you have a fancy camera you will take fantastic shots.
So far, excluding what the NPU is marketed for (Ultra Night Video, Photos, and so on, I will continue to shoot at night when the weather and the conditions are available), it's a good camera… for early 2021. So far, I will say my OP9 Pro or P6 Pro or Mi 10 Pro or Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders are doing the job precisely the same or even better.
So, what are the plans here?
Take pictures at night, people, colors, landscape, city
Use the Movie Mode and do the same also at night
Having a clear sky at night to see the moon and shoot it.
Post some samples.
Play with long exposure for light painting or even taillights.
Battery
I talked earlier about the battery life or the super power saving mode and not having an issue for the day for it.
If I have to go further in this part, the X5 comes with the SUPERVOOC DVT 80W, it is compatible with 80W/65W, etc fast charging, 30W AIRVOOC, and 10W Reverse Wireless Charging. Too.
So you will have from 0 to 50% under 15mn.
It means it's fast for charging and has no heat issue as the 80W is 40Wx2 at peak times. You only have a 2/3mn difference between 80W or 65W fast charging anyway.
Wireless charging is compatible with current norms, and I am flawlessly using my 55W wireless charger. You can even choose what kind of charging you want, like slow/optimized for bedtime, the same for wireless.
There are 2 Cells 2340/2400 mAh.
No heat issue while charging; as I said, it's 2x40W, and it's now a while OEMs developed fast charging. 100W on one cell is reachable, so less than the half in 2022… easy peasy.
As usual, you can choose between different profiles to save more power in case of or depending on your usage. Why run full powerhouse if you're just watching videos on a social network.
My thoughts
So, at the end of the day, I need to dig up more ColorOS, and dig more for the photography part, especially at night.
So far, I see the OPPO Find X5 as a 2021 flagship under Android 12 with an NPU I am still trying to figure out the utility. No offense here; it's just how I use the smartphone for the past 2 weeks, I didn't have the opportunity to shoot vibrant HDR at night videos. I got rain, snow, cold, no parties or trips to the city past two weeks. It is on the checklist. But I'm thinking, in that case, I am using the smartphone as everyone else here, depending on the occasion and the opportunity.
For the rest, it's a nice rounded, balanced device. ColorOS is a surprise, mixed with nice and why questions, but as I said, hard to jump into a new customized OS you never used before (even on OP, as I stayed under O2OS 11).
However, despite the OPPO/OP framework on top of the Android One, the addition of many OPPO Apps (that need to be separate from the OS and moved on the Play Store BTW and allowed to uninstall), the system is responsive, have a great battery life, some nice customizations and still looks like, sometimes, as a clean OS (looks like, not is). There are still some glitches here and there and some UX details that I'm not used to (and don't know if it is intended this way or bugs).
For the camera part, UW is good, Main can be better, and Tele is under competition. I need more options in the camera and gallery app. It's a solid day-to-day photography phone, but there are better 2021 devices in front of it for now. That's why I'm curious about the following updates for the firmware and the NPU.
The build quality is present. The X5 is too light for me. I feel back I was sent a few years ago. It's a 6.55", meaning it's not tiny, but I can feel and see the difference with the 6.7/6.78" inches smartphones I've been using for the past year. However, it is pleasant to get this size, as it is well balanced, under 200g (7.41oz). Flat-screen, thinner would have perfect for me.
Okay, people will say no SD Card, No Jack port… Well, I don't care personally. Yeah, I prefer a 512GB variant, but I can deal with 256GB, and I am using Snapdragon Sound for wireless Audio.
For the price, in Europe, the product is around 999€ VAT included (meaning $999 taxes excluded in the US if we should imagine a retail price). For this price, 12GB instead of 8GB, a better construction lens for the primary camera with better stabilization. The same for the Tele camera, better camera and construction lens, and add a B&W sensor for the XPAN Mode. And maybe I will consider buying it.
So far, as a European living in the US, I see the X5 as an OP9 refresh, a little brother of the OP9 Pro. In Europe, the prices are between 619 and 919€ currently, with the addition of the 80W, the MariSilicon and switching one IMX 689 to IMX766, 749 or 799€/$ seems more the sweet spot for this model.
So, keep it posted; fav the threads; I don't know yet if I will update this one or go for another thread with the new information about this OPPO Find X5.
And here we are, at the end of this review. Again, thank you OPPO and @OPPO Ambassador Team for this opportunity.​

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.
