Nowadays, all the main Chinese brands release top-tier flagships. The most powerful handsets released by Chinese manufacturers have nothing to envy the best Samsung and Apple devices and they often turn out to be very innovative. The OPPO Find X5 Pro is a perfect example of innovation with its amazing design and the first proprietary NPU dedicated to imaging. It launched in the global market a few days ago, but it will not be lonely. Xiaomi 12 Pro is another top-tier flagship that will hit the global shelves very soon this month. This comparison between the specifications of the Xiaomi 12 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro will highlight the differences between the most powerful Chinese flagships in the global market alongside the OnePlus 10 Pro, the Realme GT 2 Pro, and the Motorola Edge 30 Pro.

Design

The design of the OPPO Find X5 Pro wins the battle thanks to its futuristic look and its ceramic body. It is the only 2022 flagship made of ceramic and it even comes in an additional color option made of vegan leather (this color option is exclusive for the Chinese market). Thanks to its ceramic body and the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for the front glass, it is a very resistant phone. Further, it has the IP68 certification making it waterproof and dustproof. The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a traditional glass + metal sandwich and it lacks the IP68 certification; further, its design is pretty anonymous if compared to the other 2022 flagships.

 

Display

The Xiaomi 12 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro come with very similar displays on paper. They have LTPO AMOLED panels with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440p, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the HDR10+ certification, and up to one billion colors which can be shown with very high brightness. They also come with stereo speakers and in-display fingerprint scanners. It is hard to tell which of these two devices features the better display; for DisplayMate, they both deserve the A+ vote. The screens are both curved, with a punch hole placed in the upper left corner.

 

Specs & Software

The Xiaomi 12 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform: it is the most advanced Qualcomm chipset and it is built at 4 nm with an octa-core architecture running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. The chipset is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM on both the phones and up to 256 GB on the Xiaomi flagship, while the OPPO one goes up to 512 GB. Note that the 512 GB configuration is for the Chinese market. Both the phones run Android 12 with a customized user interface on top: MIUI and ColorOS, respectively. Two of the best UIs out there.

 

Camera

Even though both the phones look to be top-tier camera phones, we believe that the OPPO Find X5 Pro is able to shoot better photos in a higher amount of scenarios if compared to its rival. It comes with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with OIS, a 50 MP Sony IMX766 ultrawide camera, and a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom. But the difference will be made by the MariSilicon X: the first OPPO’s proprietary chip which is exclusively used to improve the imaging. The Xiaomi 12 Pro has three 50 MP cameras including a telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom: the telephoto sensor should be better than the one found on the Find X5 Pro, but for the rest, the OPPO flagship should be superior.

 

Battery

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is equipped with a bigger battery, so it will most likely provide a longer battery life in almost every scenario. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12 Pro features faster charging thanks to a power of 120W.

 

Price

The global listing price of the OPPO Find X5 Pro for the global market is €1300/$1428, while the Xiaomi 12 Pro is still not available globally, but it is rumored to cost €1100/$1208 in its base variant. The Find X5 Pro looks like a superior flagship due to its amazing build quality, great camera performance, and bigger battery.
