OPPO Reno8 Pro just went global but with different specifications, if compared to the one sold in China: indeed, it is a rebrand of the Chinese Reno8 Pro Plus. Its specs sheet is so advanced that this device is able to compete with the vanilla version of the latest flagship series by OPPO: the vanilla OPPO Find X5. These two devices are both made for the global market and they pack high-end specifications, but their prices are not excessive like the most expensive phones on the shelves. A lot of people are wondering which one to buy and, while waiting for the launch of the Reno8 Pro in the global market, we decided to satisfy them with a comparison between the specifications of the OPPO Find X5 and the OPPO Reno8 Pro.

Design

The most original design between these two phones is the one of the OPPO Find X5. It looks like the find X5 Pro, but it is made with cheaper materials: it still has premium materials but, instead of ceramic, you get a glass back and an aluminum frame. On the front, the phone features a curved display with a very high screen to body ratio. Unfortunately, this handset does not offer any kind of certification for the protection against dust and water, but its display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. The OPPO Reno8 Pro is built with a glass back and an aluminum frame as well, but the screen is not curved at the sides and the front glass is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. I personally prefer the Find X5 because it is more original and more compact, even though the Reno is thinner and lighter than its internal rival.

 

Display

The displays of these two phones differ in their sizes, but the specifications are the same. The OPPO Reno8 Pro has a wider display with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, while the Find X5 has a smaller one with just 6.55 inches. These panels are AMOLED panels able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400p, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and up to 1,000 nits of peak brightness. These phones are equipped with in-display fingerprint readers and stereo speakers, but they do not feature audio jacks. In terms of image quality, they are excellent, even though they do not sport the best displays out there. But a lot of people won’t notice any difference between these panels and the best ones on the market.

 

Specs & Software

The OPPO Find X5 and the OPPO Reno8 Pro are more or less at the same level when it comes to the hardware setup, even though the processors are different. The OPPO Find X5 is powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm built at 5 nm and sporting an octa-core architecture. It is composed of one Cortex X1 CPU running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs with a frequency of 2.42 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs with a frequency of 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 660 GPU. The OPPO Reno8 Pro Global is fueled by the Dimensity 8100 Max chipset by Mediatek built at 5 nm and with an octa-core architecture composed of four Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.8 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G610 MC6 GPU. The chipsets are paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage depending on the chosen configuration. Their processors provide more or less the same performance, even though I personally prefer the Snapdragon 888. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box, but the Find X5 is likely to get a higher amount of major updates.

 

Camera

The OPPO Find X5 wins the camera comparison thanks to its secondary sensors. Both the phones come with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera, as well as the MariSilicon X: the first proprietary NPU by OPPO able to improve night photography and videos with a power of 18 TOPS. But the OPPO Find X5 has better secondary sensors: a 13 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 50 MP Sony IMX766 ultrawide camera. The OPPO Reno8 Pro has an 8 MP ultrawide lens and a 2 MP macro camera.

 

Battery

The OPPO Find X5 is equipped with a bigger battery than OPPO Reno8 Pro and it is able to last more on a single charge. Further, it features wireless charging, unlike its internal rival.

 

Price

The OPPO Find X5 is priced at €1000/$1000 globally, while the OPPO Reno8 Pro is yet to come into the European market and in India, it costs about €550/$550. The Find X5 wins the specs comparison, even though the Reno will probably offer higher value for money.
