Briefly
OPPO raised the bar even higher with the Find X5 Pro. The smartphone looks elegant and feels luxurious. The ceramic body and asymmetrical camera island are nice plus points and fit comfortably in the hand. The 10-bit color display is one of the best color reproductions, but it’s not as bright as other major software. The main and wide-angle cameras have the same high-end sensor and the smartphone takes really great pictures with it. The selfie camera is slightly lower and the telephoto camera can zoom in at a lower distance than the competing camera. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in this device is a powerhouse, but a reckless one. Fortunately, the smartphone does not throttle quickly. The included bloatware somewhat detracts from the pioneering feel, but thankfully these apps can be removed easily. If you value color accuracy, a very good camera and a powerful processor, then OPPO Find X5 Pro is a good choice.
OPPO may not be a major player in Benelux, but it is doing its best to become one. BBK subsidiary of BBK has been making good progress for some time now and is releasing smartphones in different price ranges, including in the high-end segment. Find X5 Pro is the flagship that OPPO wants to join. So he did his best to make that possible.
With this device, the company focuses mainly on photography and has equipped the main camera and the wide-angle camera with the same sensor. In addition, the company has partnered with Hasselblad and has its own npu, or neural processing unitIt was developed to take image processing to the next level. In addition, OPPO has invested heavily in color processing and color reproduction. Not only should the screen be able to display over a billion colors, the ability to take 10-bit images is also present. Housing was also taken up. The shape of the body largely matches that of the Find X3 Pro, but the camera island has been given an asymmetric shape, so the device fits better in the hand. In addition, the casing is no longer made of glass, but of ceramic. According to OPPO, this material is more scratch-resistant than luxury watches.
Moreover, the smartphone is equipped with the latest and most powerful components: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 from Qualcomm, large memory, wqhd display with 120Hz variable refresh rate and features such as fast charging (wireless). According to OPPO, all these components and functions should make this device the best flagship smartphone, and this is also reflected in what the company is asking for in Find X5 Pro: no less than 1299 euros. That’s more than the introductory price of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max. We’ll find out in this review if this device is really worth the money.
