OPPO launched two top-tier flagships this year: OPPO Find X2 Pro and Reno5 Pro+. The former came in the first part of 2020, while the latter hitten the shelves at the end of the year. Despite that, there is a lot of confusion around their specifications and a lot of people do not know which one to buy since they do not understand which one is the most advanced and which delivers the highest value for money. Usually, the more flagships are recent, the more they are better than their predecessors. But the Find series is a higher-end series than the Reno lineup, and it is not exactly so in this case. This comparison will let you know the differences between the specifications of OPPO Find X2 Pro and Reno5 Pro+.

Design
The OPPO Find X2 Pro has a fantastic design, especially if we talk about materials. It is available in three color variants made of vegan leather and a ceramic version. It is one of the most raffinate devices in the market and it is even waterproof, thanks to the IP68 certification. But the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is a premium device as well. It is made with a glass back and an aluminum frame: at first glance, we are talking about less raffinate materials, but the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is the first commercial phone with an electrochromic glass changing its color after a simple double tap. Further, the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is more compact, thinner, and lighter than the Find X2 Pro. This makes it an awesome flagship even in terms of aesthetics.
Display
The display champion is the Find X2 Pro: it has one of the best displays ever seen. We are talking about a 6.7-inch panel with a high Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of up to 1200 nits, one billion colors, and the AMOLED technology. The OPPO Reno5 Pro+ has a great AMOLED panel as well, but the resolution is lower and even the refresh rate. However, it remains an amazing display with the HDR10+ certification, a very high brightness, and great color reproduction. Both feature an in-display fingerprint reader and a punch-hole design, as well as curved edges and a very high screen-to-body ratio.
Specs & Software
With OPPO Find X2 Pro and OPPO Reno5 Pro+, you get exactly the same chipset: the octa-core Snapdragon 865 which is Qualcomm’s flagship chipset of 2020. The amount of RAM for the Find X2 Pro is 12 GB, while for the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ you get 8 GB and 12 GB. Find X2 Pro features up to 512 GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage, while Reno5 Pro+ has up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The native storage of the Reno5 Pro+ is actually faster, but you can get more space with the Find X2 Pro. However, when it comes to storage speed, we are only talking about marginal differences. Find X2 Pro runs Android 10 out of the box, while Reno5 Pro+ ships with Android 11.
Camera
The OPPO Find X2 Pro has better secondary sensors, while the Reno5 Pro+ has a better main camera. So, if you want a more versatile camera phone, you should go for the Find X2 Pro. If you only care about normal photos, the Reno5 Pro+ is enough. The Find X2 Pro has a periscope sensor with a 5x optical zoom that is not present on the Reno5 Pro+. It also features a better 48 MP ultrawide camera, while Reno5 Pro+ stops at 16 MP. You do not get a dedicated macro camera on the Find X2 Pro, but the periscopic sensor is definitely more important. The front cameras are the same, with a 32 MP resolution and an f/2.4 focal aperture.
Battery
The OPPO Reno5 Pro+ has a bigger 4500 mAh battery and it is able to provide a longer battery life not only thanks to the bigger capacity but also because the display is more efficient. Both feature a 65W fast charging technology and both lack wireless charging. So the only difference is the battery capacity.
Price
The OPPO Reno5 Pro+ starts from €500/$604 in China, while the Find X2 Pro has an €826/$998 listing price in the country. Overall, Find X2 Pro is a very interesting phone due to its better display, IP68 certification, and more versatile cameras, but the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is amazing thanks to its value for money, Android 11 out of the box, and bigger battery.
