OPPO has started rolling out the stable ColorOS 16 update based on Android 16 for the Find X5 Pro, beginning in Indonesia. This marks the start of the global rollout. The update is notable because the Find X5 Pro launched in 2022 with Android 12 and was officially scheduled to receive major updates only up to Android 15. Despite this, OPPO has extended software support to include Android 16.

The update is currently available for eligible users in Indonesia. OPPO confirmed that the rollout will expand to other regions in stages, with more users gaining access over time.

This is an official stable release, not a beta build. Applications for the update opened on January 29. To receive the update, the Find X5 Pro must be running firmware version CPH2305_16.0.3.500(EX01). Devices on older builds will not detect the update.

ColorOS 16 features

ColorOS 16 is built on Android 16 and focuses on faster performance, better system stability, and smoother animations. The update introduces the Luminous Rendering Engine along with an upgraded Trinity Engine. According to OPPO, these changes improve overall system stability by 37 percent and make animations smoother across both mid-range and flagship devices.

The interface also gets noticeable changes. ColorOS 16 introduces the new Flux Home Screen, which supports resizable and adaptive icons that adjust more naturally to different layouts. The Always On Display now runs in full screen and transitions directly into the lock screen, making the unlock experience feel more connected.

AI features are more deeply integrated in this version. ColorOS 16 brings tighter integration with Google Gemini. AI Mind Space works as a central place to collect, organize, and revisit saved notes and information. Creative tools such as AI Portrait Glow and Master Cut aim to simplify photo and video editing without the need for manual adjustments.

Connectivity has also been improved. O Plus Connect offers better integration with both Mac and Windows systems. The updated Touch to Share feature makes it easier to transfer files to iOS devices. For privacy, sensitive AI tasks are handled through OPPO’s Private Computing Cloud.

OPPO recommends backing up important data before installing the update. After updating, the system will run background optimization, which may cause temporary heating, lag, or higher battery drain. Some third-party apps may also face compatibility issues with Android 16 until they are updated.

The post OPPO Find X5 Pro Receives Surprise ColorOS 16 Update Based on Android 16 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Today we have chosen four flagship phones, they are iPhone 14 Pro Max, Vivo X80 Pro, Xiaomi 12S Ultra, and OPPO Find X5 Pro. I believe you should watch a lot of reviews about them, today we do something different, four top brands of flagship phone Speed test and RAM Management test.

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QM4xTFVtn0[/embedyt]

Notes

Before starting the test I must tell you, we will use their latest system version for the test and also try to make every click at the same time after editing, all settings are default settings and all Android phones are 12G Ram. Since we live in China, we chose certain apps instead of apps like Twitter or YouTube that are not available in China.

Some of them have ads when they are opened, so we decided that if the ads appear on every phone, then the ranking will be calculated normally. If there are phones without ads, then the ranking will not be calculated at that time.

You can watch the whole test by clicking on the video above.

Conclusion

There are 16 different types of APPs in this test and we found that no matter what APP, the iPhone was always the first to open it. And the APP was almost never killed. The test was an overall victory for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The vivo X80 Pro is the fastest in Android flagship phones, it’s just a shame that it almost killed all APPs entirely, just like OPPO.

The Find X5 Pro’s performance is not very stable, sometimes very good and sometimes very bad. The poor Ram management also makes this phone very embarrassing.

Although the Xiaomi 12S Ultra doesn’t perform well in the Speed test, it is the only phone in the Android flagship that ensures that almost all apps are not killed. MIUI has always been the best one in doing this.

Looks like Android phones have a long way to go to beat the iPhone in a speed test.

Last month, Google officially debuted Android 13 and later released stable builds on its Pixel devices. Now, Oppo has started rolling out the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 stable build for its flagship Find X5 and Find X5 Pro, becoming the first brand other than Google to do so.

Select regions are starting to receive the official version. Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, France, and Australia’s Oppo Find X5 Pro phones will begin receiving notifications for an upcoming software update. Oppo Find X users in France and the United Arab Emirates will also soon receive the update notification.

To receive the update, your Find X5 Pro needs to be on the A.22 software version. As for the vanilla Find X5, it needs to be on A.18/A.19 to proceed with the update.

ColorOS 13 isn’t a major leap from ColorOS 12, but rather a more polished version of it. The new operating system features a new design language called “Anamorphic”, better Material You integration, new animations, improved AOD, and a media playback widget for Spotify. You can check out our ColorOS 13 hands-on article to know more about the new operating system’s features.

The post ColorOS 13 stable update arrives for Oppo Find X5 & Find X5 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

In early July, Oppo began the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 Closed Beta program in China. The company recruited testers for two sets of builds, namely ‘log’ and ‘nolog’. Now, almost a month later, the firm has kickstarted the ColorOS 13 Open Beta initiative in its home country as well as in select international markets.

Ahead of the OxygenOS 13 launch later today, which is basically ColorOS 13, Oppo has started recruiting testers for ColorOS 13 Open Beta program. According to the official announcement posts on Oppo Community, the registrations are live for Oppo Find X5, Oppo Find X5 Pro, and Oppo Find N.

Unsurprisingly, the firm has allocated a limited number of seats for testing. For instance, in global markets, the company is only accepting 1000 users for each model.

Talking about the availability of the beta program, interested users in the following regions can enroll in the initiative.

• Oppo Find X5

• • China
  • UAE
  • France (Unlocked)

• Oppo Find X5 Pro

  • China
  • Indonesia
  • Thailand
  • Vietnam
  • Malaysia
  • France (Unlocked)
  • Australia (Unlocked)

• Oppo Find N

  • China

The registration window closes tomorrow (August 4) itself. Applicants will be selected within 5 working days. They will receive the ColorOS 13 Open Beta update based on Android 13 via OTA.

Going by previous iterations of ColorOS, Oppo may recruit more beta testers for the aforementioned devices before rolling out the stable update. At present, it is not known when ColorOS 13 will be announced officially.

The post Oppo ColorOS 13 Open Beta is here for Find X5, X5 Pro, N appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Oppo recruited ColorOS 13 Closed Beta testers for Oppo Find X5, Oppo Find X5 Pro, and OnePlus 10 Pro in China. Selected applicants were also treated with the Android 13-based beta software in the next few days. Now, two weeks later, the company recruiting more testers for the aforementioned smartphones.

According to the official announcement posts on Oppo Community and OnePlus Community, the new recruitment for these devices is for ‘nolog’ version. This version of beta builds will have the log grab switch turned off by default.

Hence, Oppo says that these ColorOS 13 beta builds based on Android 13 will offer better performance and battery life than the previously released ones, in which the log grab switch is always turned on.

Either way, both versions of the ColorOS 13 Closed Beta builds are said to have multiple bugs. The company even warns that certain banking applications are incompatible as of now. It also talks about the possibility of issues with other third-party apps.

Interested users in China can enroll themselves in the program from July 18 till 12 PM CST on July 20. Oppo has only allocated 1,500 seats for each of these three handsets.

At the moment, it is not known when the global wing of Oppo/Oneplus will announce the Android 13-based ColorOS 13/OxygenOS 13 Closed Beta program for Oppo Find X5, Oppo Find X5 Pro, and OnePlus 10 Pro.

Oppo has revealed some additional details about its flagship Find X5 Pro’s display that stands out. The Smartphone comes with a top-notch 120Hz OLED panel having a resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels. Both the refresh rate and resolution of the screen are quite remarkable. However, there are still some great details about the screen which raise the bar for the product.

The Pro version of the Find X5 is capable of showing natural colors with the highest clarity expected. Its color temperature, intensity, and ambient lighting are responsive to the minutest of changes. The display also adapts to the array of colors that are used to match the content being displayed. The smartphone’s panel can display the full gamut of the DCI-P3 color space better than previous models. It has multi-point color calibration for optimal performance at each brightness level.

Calibration and real-life testing of the Find X5 Pro seem to confirm its impressive credentials. A peak brightness of 1,300 nits means that the device is ahead of its competitors. This allows its screen to be visible in sunny weather. The smartphone is also well-primed for operations in a dark environment. It can go as dim as possible, up to 20 nits of brightness. The impact of optimized brightness on eye care is significant. It has a blue light filter as part of the safe and optimized viewing. The panel operates like the human eyes in adapting to different lighting situations, with 12 levels present.

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is not a power guzzler even with an impressive screen. The refresh rate switching is done in the background. The smartphone comes bundled with a 5,000mAh battery. The screen supports HDR10+ while HDR upscaling provides the balance for non-HDR content. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus which is as rugged as you can get. The Find X5 Pro flagship is bound to catch the fancy of a chunk of the market.

The latest Vivo flagship just launched in the European market: we are talking about the Vivo X80 Pro with its amazing cameras including Carl Zeiss optics. Now, each and every brand from BBK Electronics has a top-tier flagship in the global market. This is a comparison between the specifications of the Vivo X80 Pro, the OnePlus 10 Pro, and the OPPO Find X5 Pro. These are all the top-tier flagships from the BBK brands except one: the Realme GT 2 Pro. We decided to exclude the Realme GT 2 Pro from the comparison because it is not exactly a top-tier flagship: it lacks a top-tier camera and it has a less impressive build quality, so it would definitely lose the comparison between these three internal rivals.

Vivo X80 Pro vs OnePlus 10 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Pro

Design

The most stunning design of this trio belongs to the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Not only it is made of ceramic, but it comes with a design full of curves that would be considered impossible to realize until a few years ago. Further, it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. The Vivo X80 Pro is waterproof as well, but its design is less elegant as the camera module is bigger, the dimensions too, and the rear side is made of glass for the European market. The OnePlus 10 Pro loses the comparison because it has an inferior build quality and it does not provide any kind of protection against water and dust.

Display

On the paper, the Vivo X80 Pro seems the device with the most advanced display, but there are only marginal differences between these three panels. The only advantages of the Vivo X80 Pro are a wider diagonal of 6.78 inches and the LTPO 3.0 technology which improves the efficiency of the panel. For the rest, these displays are pretty much the same: they are AMOLED panels able to show up to one billion colors with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440p, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, and the HDR10+ certification. However, there is one last difference on the Vivo X80 Pro, even though it does not regard the display directly: we are talking about the in-display fingerprint reader as it is ultrasonic and not optical, so better than the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro. All of these phones feature stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

These three amazing handsets come with exactly the same flagship-class hardware: it includes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform built at 4 nm with a max frequency of 3 GHz, up to 12 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of internal storage. In China, the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the Vivo X80 Pro come with up to 512 GB of internal storage and they also come in an additional variant powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. All of these phones run Android 12 out of the box and they will receive three major Android updates, so they are supposed to arrive at Android 15. The OPPO Find X5 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro have similar user interfaces as the OxygenOS is based on the ColorOS, while the Vivo X80 Pro is different due to its Funtouch OS.

Camera

On the paper, the Vivo X80 Pro looks like the best camera phone at first glance. It has a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 48 MP ultrawide camera, and a 12 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom for portraits, and it is the only one in this comparison to sport a periscopic sensor with 5x optical zoom (the resolution is 8 MP). The OPPO Find X5 Pro should be able to shoot better photos thanks to its 50 MP main sensor equipped with 5-axis OIS, and it even comes with a better 50 MP ultrawide camera, but it lacks a periscopic camera. It is a hard fight between the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the Vivo X80 Pro: the former should be superior when it comes to normal photos, while the latter has better zoom capabilities. The OnePlus 10 Pro is inferior to both.

Battery

The OPPO Find X5 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro come with a bigger 5000 mAh battery, so they provide a longer battery life than Vivo X80 Pro and its 4800 mAh unit. All of these phones feature 80W fast charging and 50W fast wireless charging.

Price

OPPO Find X5 Pro and Vivo X80 Pro are priced at €1299/$1369, while the OnePlus 10 Pro costs €999/$1053 in the same configuration. Which one would you pick?

Oppo Reno8 series is confirmed to go official in China on May 23. Just days before the official debut, the company revealed that the upcoming series will arrive with not one but two chips. Oppo announced that the Oppo Reno8 series will be equipped with the company’s home-brewed MarisiliconX NPU imaging chip.

The company took to Weibo to reveal that the new Reno8 series will be equipped with its self-developed Mariana MariSiliconX Chip. This chip will certainly take the camera capabilities of the smartphone to the next level. The chip can optimize pictures, improve system computing power, and enhance lowlight photos. In addition, it will also offer real-time AI computing to improve energy efficiency.

The new MariSiliconX is manufactured using TSMC’s 6nm process and seeks to improve the imaging capability of upcoming Oppo smartphones. It is said to offer industry-leading ultra HDR capabilities while also enabling lossless real-time RAW captures and maximizing the RGBW sensor’s performance. It can offer an extreme dynamic range via 20bit HDR.

It also reported that the new reno series is going to land with improved night mode. The phones come equipped with a 32-megapixel super-sensitive cat-eye lens on the front which can greatly increase the amount of light entering. Moreover, the camera unit comes integrated with Oppo’s in-house RGBW image sensor.

The MariSiliconX chip debuted with Oppo Find X5 Pro earlier this year. The smartphone offered terrific camera quality. To understand better you can refer to our detailed review of the Oppo Find X5 Pro.

Apart from improved camera specs, the Oppo Reno8 series will also offer good performance in terms of battery life. the phones support up to 80W super-fast charging and also feature a battery health engine.

After launching the foldable phone Vivo X Fold and the big phablet Vivo X Note, Vivo came up with another series of flagship phones: the most advanced device of this series, for now, is the Vivo X80 Pro, at least until the launch of the Pro+ variant in Q3 2022. Chances that the Vivo X80 Pro will hit the whole global market are higher if compared to the Vivo X Fold and the X Note and that is the reason why this device is very hot. But will it be able to compete with other flagships available globally? There is no better way to understand it than by comparing it to other top-tier flagships. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the Vivo X80 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro.

OPPO Find X5 Pro vs Vivo X80 Pro

Design

We think that in 2022 there is no phone which can beat the OPPO Find X5 Pro in terms of design. It has not only an amazing ceramic body but it is made with a very complex process to achieve all those seamless curves. It is a stunning device in both its color variants made of ceramic and, in the Chinese market, it also comes in an additional color option with a vegan leather back. The Vivo X80 Pro is less impressive but still a beautiful phone built with the most premium materials: there is a color option made of glass and aluminum, one made of vegan leather, and one made of ceramic. Which one would you prefer?

Display

The displays of the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the Vivo X80 Pro are very close, but the Vivo flagship wins the comparison because of two aspects. The first is the presence of the new LTPO 3.0 technology improving the energy consumption, and the second is the presence of an ultrasonic fingerprint reader with better performance. These are no differences impacting the image quality, though. For the rest, these displays are pretty much the same: two AMOLED panels with adaptive refresh rate, a Quad HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, and one billion colors. Note that the OPPO Find X5 Pro has superior stereo speakers and a different position for the punch hole, while the Vivo X80 Pro has a slightly wider 6.78-inch diagonal.

Specs & Software

Both the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the Vivo X80 Pro come in two variants with different processors, but these processors are the same: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and MediaTek Dimensity 9000, paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The Dimensity Edition of the OPPO Find X5 Pro is exclusive to the Chinese market and maybe it will be the same once the Vivo X80 Pro hits the global shelves. So it is essentially a draw, but you should note that the Find X5 Pro includes the eSIM technology, while the X80 Pro does not. Both the handsets run Android 12 out of the box, but with different user interfaces on top.

Camera

If you are looking for a superior camera setup, then the Vivo X80 Pro is a better choice for you. It is equipped with a 50 MP main camera with gimbal OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide camera, all with Zeiss optics. The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with the MariSilicon X proprietary ISP improving night photography, but it lacks a periscope camera.

Battery

The battery of the OPPO Find X5 Pro is bigger with a capacity of 5000 mAh and, given that the components of these two devices are similar, it will most likely offer a longer battery life. The charging technologies are the same: 80W fast charging through the cable and 50W wireless charging.

Price

The OPPO Find X5 Pro costs €1300/$1365 globally, while the Vivo X80 Pro is still unavailable globally and it starts from €800/$840 in China. Overall, the OPPO Find X5 Pro features a better design and a bigger battery, while the Vivo X80 Pro has better cameras. Which one would you pick?

OPPO Find X5 Pro vs Vivo X80 Pro: PRO and CONS

OPPO Find X5 Pro

PRO

• Wider availability
• Better design
• Bigger battery
• eSIM

CONS

• Inferior cameras

Vivo X80 Pro

PRO

• Two variants with different chipsets

Honor is back in the global market and, after releasing a few mid-rangers, it came up with an amazing top-tier flagship. The Honor Magic4 Ultimate has nothing to envy of the most expensive phones in the whole market and it is very promising, not only in terms of specifications on the paper but even according to experts such as DxOMark. This is exactly the reason why we decided that the Honor Magic4 Ultimate deserves comparison with the best Android phones out there. And that is why we chose the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the OPPO Find X5 Pro for this specs comparison.

Honor Magic4 Ultimate vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs OPPO Find X5 Pro

Design

If you are looking for the most impressive design, then you should go for the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Its impressive curves and its ceramic body allowed OPPO to win an iF Design Award for the product design, and we can assume the Find X5 Pro is the most beautiful Android device of 2022. The Honor Magic4 Ultimate has a ceramic body as well, but the OPPO flagship is more elegant thanks to its curves and the absence of that huge camera module found on the Honor flagship. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is beautiful as well with its Galaxy Note-like design, but it is made of glass and aluminum just like most of the flagships out there.

Display

It is very hard to understand which of these phones has the best display because their specifications on the paper are exactly at the same level. According to the most important benchmarks, the OPPO Find X5 Pro has a slightly better panel in terms of color accuracy and more. But you should not underestimate the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, especially because it supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing.

Specs & Software

Given that all of these phones come with flagship-class hardware departments and top-notch performance, you should not focus too much on their hardware departments. They are all powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform with the exception of certain regional variants of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sporting an inferior Exynos 2200 chipset. The RAM goes up to 12 GB in each case, but the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the only one to reach 1 TB of internal storage. All of these phones run Android 12 out of the box, with a highly customized user interface on top.

Camera

The most advanced camera phone here is the Honor Magic4 Ultra. It sports a 50 MP main camera with laser autofocus, an outstanding 64 MP periscope camera with 3.5x optical zoom, a 64 MP ultrawide sensor, an additional 50 MP wide sensor, and a TOF 3D camera for depth calculation. In 2022, until now, there is not any manufacturer which released a phone with a better camera setup than Honor Magic4 Ultimate. But you should not underestimate the OPPO Find X5 Pro due to its MariSilicon X proprietary ISP providing incredibly high quality in night shots.

Battery

The weakest point of the Honor Magic4 Ultimate is the battery because it is way smaller than the one found on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the OPPO Find X5 Pro. On the other hand, it has a faster 100W charging technology.

Price

The Honor Magic4 Ultimate begins at €1150/$1247 in China and it is still not available in Europe, you need €1300/$1410 for the Find X5 Pro, and more than €1000/$1000 for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Which one would you pick?

OnePlus 10 Pro has finally hitten the global market: it is the first premium flagship after the “merge” with OPPO which reunited the development teams and the R&D departments of the two brands. This puts the new handset in direct competition against the OPPO Find X5 Pro which is the latest OPPO top-tier flagship. A lot of people are already considering the OP10 Pro as an affordable Find X5 Pro because it shares most of the specs sheet with the OPPO flagship but it is available at a more affordable price. But is this the truth? We hope that this comparison between the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro will clear your ideas in regards.

OnePlus 10 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Pro

Design

The design is undoubtedly the most noticeable difference between the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Actually, the Find X5 Pro comes with a more premium design. It is the only last-generation phone with a ceramic body and its look is simply stunning. The OnePlus 10 Pro is built with a glass back and an aluminum frame just like most of the other flagship phones. The OPPO Find X5 Pro is waterproof with the IP68 certification, while the OnePlus 10 Pro is not. The OP10 Pro snapped into half in a bend test made by the famous YouTuber JerryRigEverything, while the Find X5 Pro is a lot sturdier and resistant. So, if you are looking for the best design and build quality, you know what to choose.

Display

The OnePlus 10 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro are equipped with exactly the same display. It is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, the LTPO 2.0 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of up to 1300 nits, one billion colors, an in-display fingerprint reader, and the Gorilla Glass Victus protection. It is one of the most brilliant displays on the market and it comes with great color accuracy. Both the phones feature great stereo speakers as well, and the audio quality provided is similar just like the display performance.

Specs & Software

Even the hardware department is the same: OnePlus 10 Pro and OPPO Find X5 Pro are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform which is currently the most advanced chipset by Qualcomm, as well as an amount of RAM up to 12 GB and up to 256 GB of internal storage. The OPPO Find X5 Pro has a memory configuration with 512 GB of internal storage, but it is exclusive to the Chinese market. The two flagships run Android 12 out of the box customized by ColorOS 12.1, but in the global market, the OnePlus 10 Pro gets OxygenOS 12. It is different customization from the ColorOS, but the ColorOS code base remains the same.

Camera

The most advanced camera belongs to the OPPO Find X5 Pro: both come with Hasselblad natural color calibration, but the Find X5 Pro has a superior main camera that is the Sony IMX766 sensor with a 50 MP resolution. On the other hand, the OnePlus 10 Pro has better zoom capabilities thanks to an 8 MP telephoto lens with OIS and 3.3x optical zoom. The ultrawide cameras are the same: Sony IMX766 with a 50 MP resolution, again.

Battery

Last but not least, the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro feature exactly the same battery and the same charging technology. We are talking about a 5000 mAh battery with 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, and given that most of the other components are the same, expect a similar battery life too.

Price

The price of the OPPO Find X5 Pro for the European market is €1300/$1439, while the OnePlus 10 Pro starts from €899/$995 for the base configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The Find X5 Pro naturally wins the comparison, but if you do not mind having a less impressive design and build quality, as well as an inferior camera, the OP10 Pro may be enough for you.

The post OnePlus 10 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro was launched in Glaze Black and Ceramic White colors for the global market but will soon be sold in another, third color in China. Called Aqua Blue, the color not only delivers a fresh lick of paint but also a whole new material — leather. OPPO announced today that this new option will go on sale starting April 1st for CNY 6,299 (~USD 988) for the 12GB+256GB config.

The blue leather model is slightly thicker at 8.8mm, which is 0.3mm more than its ceramic counterparts, but is also noticeably lighter at 195g (vs the 218g of the other two colors).

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is built around a 6.7-inch 120Hz QHD+ LTPO AMOLED display with a fingerprint scanner underneath and a punch hole in the top-left housing the 32MP front camera. At the back, there’s a triple camera setup comprising 50MP primary, 50MP ultrawide, and 13MP telephoto lenses.

But perhaps the best part (and the most marketed one too) is the usage of a self-developed NPU imaging chip for the first time. Dubbed MariSilicon X, the chip is built on TSMC’s 6nm process and is said to improve both photography and videography significantly.

Powering the entire package is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is available in two chip variants — there’s the Qualcomm option that packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and then there’s the MediaTek option that features the Dimensity 9000. It isn’t clear if the Aqua Blue color will be for both options but that will be confirmed soon enough once it starts selling.

Oppo unveiled the Find X5 Pro was unveiled in China back in February 2022 and it is the latest flagship offering from the Chinese company. It has an impressive cooling mechanism but Oppo has added a lightweight Ice-Skin cooling case for the model. The Ice-Skin cooling case for the Find X5 Pro will further reduce heating by up to 3 degrees Celsius in the premium smartphone.

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and it has an advanced cooling system. The new Ice-Skin cooling case however sports a revolutionary technology based on the Glacier-Mat hydrogel layer. The hydrogel layer in the cooling case reabsorbs moisture from the air consistently to create a circular cooling system. The technology was developed by researchers at Wuhan University.

The Ice-Skin cooling case of the Find X5 Pro is slim and lightweight, making it seamlessly fit with the smartphone without feeling the additional weight. It is similar to a regular protective case for the smartphone. The Ice-Skin cooling case is part of the package for customers who pre-ordered the Find X5 Pro in China. There are no details yet on the global availability of the Find X5 Pro and the Ice-Skin cooling case.

OPPO announced the OPPO Find X5 Pro globally ahead of MWC 2022. It is the latest flagship smartphone from the company and the successor of last year’s OPPO Find X3 Pro. Almost a month after its debut, the company introduces an interesting feature.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro can be now used to measure heart rate in China. The phone does not use an optical fingerprint-heart rate combo sensor like the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the realme GT2 Pro. 

Instead, it relies on an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor, which is capable of measuring triaxial acceleration and triaxial angular velocity. OPPO is the world’s first smartphone manufacturer to measure heart rate using an IMU sensor, which consists of an accelerometer and a gyroscope.

In order to measure heart rate using their OPPO Find X5 Pro, users need to open the OPPO Health app (v3.13 or above), navigate to Heart Rate > Phone Heart Rate Measurement, and place the handset on their chest. Alternately, users can ask OPPO Xiaobu (Breeno) virtual assistant “measure heart rate” to access the feature quickly.

The heart rate data will be displayed on the screen within 12-15 seconds. The result will be based on the vibration reading through the IMU sensor and OPPO Health algorithm processing.

We are not sure how accurate the readings are. Either way, it is not recommended to rely on this feature for medical use. The same can be said for every fitness-focused wearable available in the market. Only consider them as a tool to help you achieve a healthier lifestyle.

Last month at Mobile World Congress 2022, Oppo revealed their latest 240W SuperVOOC fast charging tech along with 150W fast charging which will soon debut on a OnePlus device. The brand also unveiled some details about their Battery Health Engine which is responsible for keeping the battery healthy and safe while charging over such insane speeds in the long run.

Now, in a press release, Oppo has shared the results of the latest lab tests of their fast charging technology in tandem with the Battery Health Engine which is already in use on the Oppo Find X5 Pro. The test results reveal even after 1,600 charging cycles the battery performs at 80% of its original capacity. Each cycle consists of charging a completely dead battery to 100% and then draining it back down to 0% again.

To put this into perspective, suppose that you are a power user using the Oppo Find X5 which features a 5000mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC fast charging and manage to drain the battery completely through a days’ use. After using the device for 4 years and 4 months, you will still have 80% battery health i.e. just 20% battery degradation.

This ability to prolonge the battery life while using high-speed fast charging gives Oppo the upper hand over its competition as brands using conventional fast charging methods see their battery life reduced to 80% of its capacity in just 800 charging cycles.

Oppo says, “As the leader of charging technology, OPPO knows that the future development of fast charging can not only stop at high power – it should also consider aspects such as safety, portability, compatibility, and battery lifespan. Here at OPPO, the company is taking big steps towards upgrading the world of smartphone charging to completely revolutionize the user experience of smartphones while contributing to the future sustainability of lithium battery technologies.”

The brand’s latest 240W fast charging is not quite ready yet, but with a claim of 9 minutes to completely charge a 4500mAh battery, it will be interesting to see if the claims regarding battery health still stand after the 240W SuperVOOC charging is officially launched.

OPPO Find X5 Pro hitten the global shelves earlier this month with a perfect specs sheet. It is not only an amazing device in terms of specifications, but it is even very innovative with its ceramic design and the new proprietary NPU MariSilicon X (the first-ever chip released by OPPO). But are these specifications enough to compete with the best iPhone out there?  The iPhone 13 Pro Max is the best and most complete Apple phone ever, it is selling a lot and even its specifications do not include compromises. So which of these devices is more interesting? This comparison between the specifications of the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max will let you find out.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs OPPO Find X5 Pro

Design

The design of the iPhone is iconic and it sets the trend, sure, but the OPPO Find X5 Pro is definitely more innovative. It is built with a ceramic body crafted at 1000 °C and full of curves: an impossible surface that you can not find on any other phone. This design inspired by a spaceship is very original and more attractive, but on the other hand, the iPhone 13 Pro Max has an outstanding build quality. Its glasses are protected by the strong Ceramic Shield and the frame is made of stainless steel. Further, it is waterproof up to 6 meters deep thanks to the IP68 certification. The Find X5 Pro has the IP68 certification as well, but it is waterproof up to 1.5 meters deep. On the other hand, it has a curved screen, while the display of the iPhone is flat.

Display

On the paper, the display of the OPPO Find X5 Pro looks superior to the one found on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It is an AMOLED panel that shows up to one billion colors, sporting the LTPO2 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, the HDR10+ certification, and a peak brightness up to 1,300 nits. The color accuracy is definitely perfect, but you should not underestimate the Super Retina XDR OLED of the iPhone. It has amazing color accuracy as well and every expert agrees on this. The Find X5 Pro relies on an in-display fingerprint reader for authentication, while the iPhone relies on 3D facial recognition thanks to Face ID.

Specs & Software

If you are trying to choose your favorite flagship between these two handsets, you should not focus so much on the hardware department because they are both excellent from this point of view. The OPPO Find X5 Pro has the best Qualcomm chipset: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage in the global market. The iPhone 13 Pro Max has an Apple A15 Bionic chipset paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage. Even though it has a lower amount of RAM, it provides better performance thanks to the amazing optimization of the iOS operating system. Both the phones will be supported with updates for a long time, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max will get longer software support.

Camera

The OPPO Find X5 Pro has better camera capabilities than iPhone 13 Pro Max. It comes with a pair of Sony IMX766 sensors with a 50 MP resolution, including an ultrawide one, as well as a 13 MP telephoto sensor with optical zoom. Thanks to its amazing sensors and the MariSilicon X NPU, as well as the cooperation with Hasselblad, it obtains brighter photos in the dark and more brilliant colors than iPhone 13 Pro Max. But the latter is amazing at recording videos.

Battery

The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a bigger 5000 mAh battery than iPhone 13 Pro Max, however, the battery life of these two phones is not so different because iOS provides a better software optimization with lower energy consumption. But one thing is certain: the Find X5 Pro charges faster thanks to 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

Price

The prices of the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max in the European market range from €1200/$1313 to €1300/$1420  and they are not very different. Each device has its pros and cons and choosing the best one depends on the user’s needs: which one would you pick?

Honor is finally back in the flagship segment not only in the Asian market but even in Europe. The Chinese giant recently launched the Honor Magic4 and the Honor Magic4 Pro with the latter representing its most advanced flagship to date. But after its comeback, Honor has to face a lot of more Chinese rivals in the old continent. Currently, the best Chinese flagship sold in the European market is the OPPO Find X5 Pro which retails for a very high price. But the Honor Magic4 Pro carries a high price tag as well. So which one is the best Chinese handset out there? You can discover it through this comparison between the specifications of the Honor Magic4 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro.

Honor Magic4 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Pro

Design

There is not any doubt about the fact that OPPO Find X5 Pro has a better design. It is not only more attractive than Honor Magic4 Pro, but it is definitely one of the most beautiful Android phones in the whole market. It is the only Android flagship released in 2022 with a body made of ceramic, it has a very futuristic design and it comes with a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. There is also a version made of leather, but it is exclusive for the Chinese market. Last but not least, despite packing a bigger battery, it is a thinner phone. Both the phones are waterproof with the IP68 certification.

Display

The OPPO Find X5 Pro looks to have a better display. It is an AMOLED panel with one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, and the HDR10+ certification. But the Honor Magic4 Pro still provides an amazing screen with the OLED and LTPO technologies, HDR10+, one billion colors, and a wider 6.81-inch diagonal. With the OPPO Find X5 Pro, you should get higher color accuracy and even higher brightness.

Specs & Software

Honor Magic4 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro are powered by the same flagship processor: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Given that there are no important differences in the hardware department, the software will play the most important role in terms of performance. Note that the ColorOS 12 is actually a more advanced user interface than Magic UI 6.0, at least in the global market. So you should get something more with the OPPO flagship.

Camera

On the paper, the Honor Magic4 Pro has superior camera hardware. It comes with a pair of 50 MP cameras including an ultrawide one, as well as a 64 MP periscope camera with 3.5x optical zoom and an additional TOF 3D sensor for depth calculation. The OPPO Find X5 Pro has a pair of 50 MP cameras and a 13 MP telephoto sensor, but the photo quality might still be superior in a lot of scenarios thanks to the dedicated MariSilicon X NPU and the advanced proprietary algorithm for the cameras. The Honor Magic4 Pro is more interesting even when it comes to the front camera: it packs a 12 MP selfie snapper with 100° FOV and 4K video recording, as well as an additional TOF sensor for 3D facial recognition.

Battery

The OPPO Find X5 Pro packs a bigger 5000 mAh battery and it will guarantee a longer battery life on a single charge. The Honor Magic4 Pro comes with a smaller 4600 mAh but it supports faster 100W wired charging and faster 100W wireless charging.

Price

OPPO Find X5 Pro carries a price of €1300/$1420 in the European market, while Honor Magic 4 Pro starts from €1100/$1200. The Find X5 Pro wins the comparison due to its amazing built quality, bigger battery, better display, but you should not underestimate the camera performance of the Honor flagship.

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.

Xiaomi 12 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 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.

The post Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo recently unveiled its Find X5 Pro flagship smartphone which came with all the cutting edge bells and whistles including the latest flagship chipsets from Qualcomm and MediaTek and even incorporates their Marisilicon X NPU chip (Snapdragon variant), however, the smartphone mostly stands out for its unique design and the never before seen ceramic back panel. So let’s take a look at why and how Oppo made this back panel possible.

With the Find X5 Pro, Oppo wanted to create a truly premium experience for its users both in the looks and feel of the device, so they decided to go with ceramic instead of glass for the back. The material has a lot of advantages compared to glass, like it is twice as tough, making it essentially drop-proof, and also has a texture that reduces fingerprints.

The back panel design is perfected to a tee with the use of in-house techniques of molding ceramic into an organically curved rear with a smoothness that feels like a pebble. But as we know that ceramic is one of the hardest materials out there, it proved nearly impossible to mold it using conventional methods, and therefore the engineers at Oppo invented a process from scratch to achieve the elegant design and finish of the Find X5 pro.

Oppo claims to have invested millions to develop specialized automated equipment which utilizes over 2,000 individual control points to achieve the uniquely curved ceramic rear panel of Find X5 pro and its iconic seamless camera housing.

To remove the machine marks from the back panel, engineers meticulously polish the ceramic’s edges in multiple stages, using a four-axis polishing machine and micron-level diamond powder. This process takes five whole days to produce a ceramic cover that is up to Oppo’s standards.

The Ceramic back of the Oppo Find X5 Pro has truly combined luxury with utility, which has been possible due to Oppo’s commitment to precision and perfection.

The post Oppo’s Find X5 Pro brings beauty without compromise with its ceramic back appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier last month, Samsung launched its new flagship series which includes the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Ultra variant this year is totally different not only from its predecessor but even from the other variants of the same series. And it comes with very nice productivity features. This month, OPPO launched its new flagships as well and the most powerful model is the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Is the new OPPO flagship able to compete with the expensive Galaxy S22 Ultra or this year you would better go for the first smartphone manufacturer in the global market? This comparison between their specifications will hopefully tell you the answer.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs OPPO Find X5 Pro

Design

This year OPPO released one of the most beautiful and aesthetically innovative phones ever made. The OPPO Find X5 Pro is built with a ceramic body in both its main color variants: Ceramic White and Glaze Black. There is also a third color option exclusively sold in China with a blue leather back. The frame is made of aluminum and the front glass is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. It wins the design comparison not only due to its amazing materials but also because of its great look. But the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is still a beautiful handset thanks to a curved glass body and the absence of a camera isle. Both the phones are waterproof with the IP68 certification.

Display

When it comes to the display quality, OPPO Find X5 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra are very close to each other. They have LTPO AMOLED displays with one billion colors, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, and a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440p. While the differences in terms of image quality are just marginal, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sports a better fingerprint scanner under the display (an ultrasonic sensor instead of an optical one) and it supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing, very useful for productivity. Note that the display of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is slightly wider with a diagonal of 6.8 inches. Both the phones feature good stereo speakers but they do not have a headphone jack.

Specs & Software

These two phones are not so distant even in terms of hardware. In select markets, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM just like the OPPO Find X5 Pro. In the remaining markets, it has a weaker Samsung Exynos 2200 mobile platform: the first chipset with an AMD GPU, but the performance is inferior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Note that Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sports up to 1 TB of internal storage, while its rival stops at 512 GB in China and 256 GB globally. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box.

Camera

Even on the camera side, these phones are very close. It is a hard fight when it comes to the main cameras, while we know for sure that Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has better zoom capabilities thanks to its periscope camera. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X5 Pro shoots better ultrawide photos thanks to its 50 MP ultrawide camera. Last but not least, it has a dedicated NPU, the MariSilicon X, improving the image quality in low light conditions.

Battery

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and OPPO Find X5 Pro are equipped with 5000 mAh batteries and their battery life is similar. But the charging speeds are very different because OPPO Find X5 Pro features 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, while the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra stops at 45W and 15W, respectively.

Price

You need a bit less than €1300/$1400 to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Which one is the best? It depends on your needs: the Galaxy S22 Ultra has the S Pen and great zoom capabilities, while the OPPO Find X5 Pro provides better materials, better ultrawide shots, a dedicated NPU for photography, and faster charging speeds. Make your choice.

The post Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs OPPO Find X5 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Find X5 launched in the global market in three different variants: OPPO Find X5, Find X5 Pro and Find X5 Lite. This year, OPPO decided to launch the vanilla version instead of the Neo variant in order to provide two advanced flagships, but the midrange variant is not missing from the trio. This comparison between their specifications will explain to you the difference between each device from the new flagship series. Note that this comparison does not include the Dimensity 9000 version of the Find X5 Pro which was only launched in China, but the only difference between this device and the Snapdragon version (if we exclude the processor) is the absence of the MariSilicon X NPU.

OPPO Find X5 vs OPPO Find X5 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Lite

Design

Naturally, the most attractive design belongs to the OPPO Find X5 Pro. This is one of the few flagships made of ceramic and it is extremely elegant. In China, it even comes in an additional blue color option made of leather. Right after, we got the OPPO Find X5 with a glass back and an aluminum frame, but you should not underestimate the Lite variant because it is the most compact, thinnest, and most lightweight device of the trio.

Display

The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with the most advanced display: an AMOLED panel with one billion colors, the LTPO technology, a Quad HD+ resolution, and an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The vanilla version still comes with a billion-color display, but it has a lower Full HD+ resolution and it lacks the LTPO technology. With the OPPO Find X5 Lite, you get an inferior AMOLED panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate like the one found on the Reno6.

Specs & Software

The most powerful chipset is the one found on the OPPO Find X5 Pro: the octa-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. Then we got the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform of the original X5: still a flagship chipset, but with lower performance. The Find X5 Lite comes with the midrange Dimensity 900, not so impressive if compared to the other siblings.

Camera

The OPPO Find X5 and the Pro variant come with the same camera department including a pair of 50 MP sensors with OIS and a 13 MP telephoto lens with optical zoom. But the Pro variant adds the important MariSilicon X: the first proprietary chip released by OPPO. This chip is very important because it improves the photo and video quality, even in low light conditions. The Find X5 Lite has a midrange camera setup including a 64 MP main sensor.

Battery

Last but not least, the OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a bigger 5000 mAh battery. The vanilla Find X5 supports 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging just like the Pro, but with a smaller 4800 mAh battery. The Find X5 Lite lacks wireless charging and comes with an even smaller 4500 mAh battery.

Price

The OPPO Find X5 Pro carries a price tag of €1300/$1421, the vanilla version costs €999/$1093, and the Lite is priced at €499/$546. These are the prices for the European market, but they obviously vary depending on the region.

The post OPPO Find X5 vs Find X5 Pro vs Find X5 Lite: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, GSMA hosted the MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2022 in Barcelona, Spain. However, unlike previous years, there weren’t many big launches. That’s because companies now prefer to announce their important devices at their own annual conferences.

Anyway, there were some 5 smartphones that caught our attention. We have compiled them in this article. Three of them are from separate brands, while two of them are from the same brand. These OEMs are HONOR, OPPO, realme, and POCO. 

With that being said, let us take a look at these phones one by one.

Best Smartphones at MWC 2022

HONOR Magic4 Pro

Our pick for the star of Mobile World Congress 2022 is none other than HONOR Magic4 Pro. The latest flagship smartphone from HONOR offers almost all the high-end features one can expect.

The device sports a glass sandwich housing with a metal frame. It flaunts a 6.81-inch 10-bit curved OLED LTPO display with a resolution of 1312×2848 pixels, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and a pill-shaped cutout for the front-facing cameras. The panel is not only HDR10+ certified but also IMAX Enhanced.

The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It also comes with an independent security chip and an independent display chip for always-on HDR as well as MEMC.

Though the handset houses a large circular module on the rear, there are only three cameras – 50MP wide lens, 50MP ultra-wide lens, and 64MP 3.5x telephoto lens. The remaining two holes are for a flicker sensor and an 8×8 dTOF laser focusing system. On the front, it has a 12MP shooter and a 3D depth sensor.

Other features of the HONOR Magic4 Pro include IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, dual stereo speakers, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, Magic UI 6 based on Android 12, 4,500mAh battery, 100W fast wired charging, 100W fast wireless charging, and 5W wireless reverse charging.

The device is offered in four colors (cyan, gold, black, orange) and starts at €1099 outside mainland China. Its availability will be revealed closer to the release.

OPPO Find X5 Pro

Unlike the HONOR Magic4 Pro, the OPPO Find X5 Pro was not announced at MWC 2022.  The company unveiled it a few days ago but showcased it at the GSMA-hosted conference.

The successor of OPPO Find X3 Pro retains the design language from its predecessor with some tweaks. The Glaze Black version sports a glass back, while the Ceramic White variant flaunts a ceramic rear panel. Both have a metal frame.

The phone sports a 6.7-inch 10-bit LTPO 2.0 curved AMOLED display with a resolution of 3216 × 1440 pixels, up to 120Hz refresh rate, up to 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 525 PPI. It has a punch-hole at the top left corner and Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

The handset is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. There’s also a self-developed MariSilicon X chipset for image processing. As for software, it boots ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12.

It arrives with a triple rear camera system powered by Hasselblad. The setup includes a 50MP primary sensor with 5-axis OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide unit,  and a 13MP 2x telephoto snapper. On the front, it has a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

Other features include dual stereo speakers, in-screen fingerprint sensor, 5,000mAh battery, 80W fast wired charging, 50W fast wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is priced at €1,300 for a sole 12GB+256GB memory configuration in Europe. It will go on sale on March 14

realme GT 2 Pro

The realme GT 2 Pro is the only old handset is the list. It made its debut in China in January. However, it was announced for Europe at MWC 2022. The device is the first proper flagship smartphone from realme.

The phone’s back is made of biopolymer to offer a paper-like touch and feel. Whereas, its frame is made of metal. Despite featuring a different body material, it is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC as other premium Android smartphones.

The chipset is coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. As far as software is concerned, the handset ships with realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12.

One of the interesting features of the phone is its 6.7-inch display. This 10-bit flat LTPO 2.0 AMOLED panel has a resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixels and up to 120Hz refresh rate, 1000Hz touch sampling rate as well as 1,,400 nits peak brightness. Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, it has a punch-hole at the top left corner and a fingerprint sensor with support for heart rate monitoring underneath it.

Apart from a great display, the handset also comes with an equally impressive 50MP (Sony IMX766 with OIS) + 50MP (150° ultra-wide) + microscope lens triple camera system on the rear and a 32MP Sony IMX615 front-facing camera. Other features include dual stereo speakers, a 5,000mAh battery, and 65W fast wired charging.

The realme GT2 Pro is priced at €749 and €849 for 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB memory variants respectively in Europe. It is already up for sale in select regions.

POCO X4 Pro 5G

The next device is our list is POCO X4 Pro 5G, which is a budget offering. Despite being a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G, we considered it to be one of the best smartphones at MWC 2022. Because it only looks unique (subjective) but also costs only €269 and €319 for 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB versions respectively (early bird pricing).

Talking about highlights, it flaunts a glass sandwich design (flat plastic frame) and is built around a 6.67-centered punch-hole FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, 395 PPI, and 1,200 nits peak brightness. It is run by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

For photography and videography, there’s a 108MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple rear camera system and a 16MP front-facing camera. Other features include dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a hybrid MicroSD card slot, an IR blaster, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and an IP53 rating.

Last but not least, it boots MIUI 13 for POCO based on Android 11 and gets its juice from a 5,000mAh battery, which has support for 67W fast charging.

POCO M4 Pro

The final phone is our list is POCO M4 Pro. It is even more affordable (early bird pricing) than the POCO X4 Pro 5G as it is priced at only €199 (6GB + 128GB) and €249 (8GB + 128GB). It is a rebadged variant of the Redmi Note 11S, which we consider better than the Redmi Note 11 Pro in terms of value.

The handset’s body is entirely made of plastic but still sports a 6.43-inch centered punch-hole AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 409 PPI, up to 90Hz refresh rate, and 1,000 nits peak brightness level. It is powered by MediaTek Helio G96 SoC coupled with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

It arrives with a 64MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple rear camera setup and a 16MP front-facing camera. It runs MIUI 13 based on Android 11 and is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

Other features include an IP53 rating, dual stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a dedicated MicroSD card slot, and an IR blaster.

OPPO last month launched the fourth iteration of its flagship phone series in the form of the Find X5 Pro, which is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. This was followed by the announcement of another variant, this time with the arguably more powerful Dimensity 9000. While it has already been proven that the Dimensity 9000 outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 benchmark-wise, we now have AnTuTu scores of both variants of the Find X5 Pro for the first time.

The test was performed by IT Home with both phones being put on the high-performance mode. The Dimensity OPPO Find X5 Pro has managed to score just beyond the 1 million mark, which is something no other chip in the Android world has managed to achieve to date. The Snapdragon OPPO Find X5 Pro, on the other hand, follows closely with 990,473 points.

However, Qualcomm has continued its domination over the GPU space, at least in terms of AnTuTu, with its Adreno 730 scoring considerably higher than the Mali-G710 MC10 on the Dimensity 9000.

It is worth mentioning here that the aforementioned results aren’t the product of a single round of testing as IT Home says that they ran the benchmark multiple times.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is actually the first smartphone to come with the Dimensity 9000. The processor uses TSMC’s 4nm process and packs a Cortex-X2 super core, 3 Cortex-A710 large cores, and 4 Cortex-A510 small cores, supported by ARM Mali-G710 GPU for graphics.

Now that MediaTek has proved its progress with performance with its very first true flagship chip for smartphones, it remains to be seen if it will hold up just as well in battery efficiency tests. We should be seeing those in the coming days too, so stay tuned.

The post OPPO Find X5 Pro Dimensity Version AnTuTu score is out, beats Snapdragon variant appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO X5 series currently comprises three models, namely, the OPPO Find X5, Find X5 Pro, and the Find X5 Pro Dimensity Version. There’s also a fourth called Find X5 Lite but it doesn’t make the cut since it’s only a Reno7 5G rebrand. Even so, OPPO isn’t done with the lineup just yet as it’s now been tipped that a possible ‘ultra’ model is on the way too.

Today, prominent industry insider Digital Chat Station broke the news that OPPO’s ‘ultra’ flagship model will debut in the second half of the year. Equipped with the upcoming SM8475 processor, which is purportedly the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus, the device may be the very first ultra model from the company.

The chip will reportedly use TSMC’s 4nm process, which is expected to be superior to Samsung’s 4nm process used with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Currently, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is the only chip made using the TSMC process, so that makes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus the second.

Aside from the change in the foundries, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus may also feature higher frequencies, as is usually the case with ‘Plus’ iterations of flagship Snapdragon chips.

In addition, the OPPO ultra flagship model may bring a return of the periscope lens that was previously featured on the Reno 10x Zoom. It isn’t clear if the ultra model will indeed be an expansion of the Find X5 series, but if it will be, then it may be called the OPPO Find X5 Ultra.

Yesterday, OPPO unveiled the OPPO Find X5 series globally. The Pro model offers all the bells and whistles for a premium price tag. Interestingly, in China, customers can opt for a cheaper version of this smartphone with some minor changes in its specs. This variant of the device is officially called OPPO Find X5 Pro Dimensity Edition.

As the name suggests, the OPPO Find X5 Pro Dimensity Edition arrives with a MediaTek chipset instead of Qualcomm. Precisely, it is powered by the latest Dimensity 9000 SoC rather than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

Further, this version of the phone lacks the company’s in-house MariSilicon X image processing silicon. It also misses out on Hasselblad tuning and 5-axis OIS. Finally, it arrives in a single 12GB + 256GB memory configuration and only two color options (black, white).

Apart from the aforementioned differences, the OPPO Find X5 Pro Dimensity Edition is the same as the standard OPPO Find X5 Pro inside out. The handset is priced at ¥5,799 ($918). It will be available for pre-order starting March 14, followed by sale on March 18.

For comparison, the original OPPO Find X5 Pro costs ¥6,299 ($998) for the 12GB + 256GB variant. Its base model (8GB + 256GB) is priced at ¥5,999 ($950), while the top version (12GB + 512GB) goes all the way up to ¥6,799 ($1,077).

Before we get started on the OPPO Find X5 Pro review, let me give you my verdict: The Find X5 Pro is likely going to be one of the most surprising flagship models since Snapdragon 8 Gen1 was released.

After reviewing so many Gen1 phones, we were pretty clear that the new chip didn’t bring any significant innovative upgrades in the latest flagships. Basically, those phones had a limited number of conventional upgrades.

However, after reviewing the OPPO Find X5 Pro, we saw something different.

The OPPO flagship comes with a brand-new imaging NPU chip, the Marisilicon X, which is also the world’s first 6nm independent imaging chip built inside a smartphone that works for all the lenses. Further, it debuted the brand’s first five-axis hardware-level stabilization technology, supporting 3° anti-shaking compensation and 0.7° rotational stabilization. You can also see the logo of Hasselblad on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. The cooperation has expanded to a range that’s not just limited to the sub-brand OnePlus.

Apart from the camera, the Find X5 Pro also brings an upgraded design. And personally, I would say that it has the best design among all the new phones released in 2022.

Find X5 Pro Review: Design & Display

The back of the phone is made of a whole piece of ceramic material. Compared to the glass cover on the Find X3 Pro, it feels much better with better scratch resistance and fingerprint resistance. And more importantly, it has made the phone visually more premium. Although we did see the use of ceramic material on other phones, this one-piece ceramic back cover surprised me like no other. And it is one of the few phones that make me truly appreciate the aesthetics of minimalism in recent years especially those with a camera bump.

I mean, of course, the camera module is still a bit protruding, but at the same time, the phone hides this discomfort with a design that makes the connection from the camera to the other parts much more natural.

At the bottom right corner, we have the bright logos of OPPO and Hasselblad, which reveals their first cooperation on photography algorithms has officially begun. As for its camera experience, we talk about it a bit later.

Now let me turn it over and look at its front face. The Find X5 Pro features a 2K 120Hz slightly-edge-curved AMOLED display with upgraded support of LTPO Adaptive refresh rate. The quality of the Find X5 Pro is almost the same as what we have on the OnePlus 10 Pro, which certainly is at the top-notch level in the industry. It also supports 1 billion colors with wide-dynamic-range HDR10+. So in 2022, among all the recent flagships, you should have no issues with this display.

The Find X5 Pro also comes with dual stereo speakers. Let’s listen to its sound performance.

This time the OPPO Find X5 Pro is released globally running on Color OS 12.1 based on Android 12. The global version comes pre-installed with a wide number of language options and all the Google apps. The Operating system supports the deep customization of the interface, like choosing live wallpaper, customized icon patterns, and layout arrangement. Other features like floating windows for multitasking and quick launch from the fingerprint unlock are also supported well.

The Find X5 Pro’s system has also got well optimized with great fluency and fast response. So far, it feels pretty reliable and stable in daily use.

Find X5 Pro Review: Performance & Gaming

As for performance, the Find X5 Pro global version in my hand is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset with 12GB RAM and 256GB Rom. In all the benchmarks we tested here, the phone performed as well as a new flagship model. Even in the 3DMark stress test of running 20-round Wild Life Extreme, it finished the challenge with maintaining a pretty good stability of continuous performance output, while the surface temperature remained below 43℃.

In the PUBG Mobile gaming test, the framerate could stably run at the best level.

While in Genshin Impact, the phone met performance throttle after the first 5 minutes and achieved an average framerate at 46.55fps for the 30min gaming test.

In another stress gaming test, Nimian Legends, we ran the gaming under 2K resolution with the highest graphic setting. The Find X5 Pro achieved one of the best results that we’ve tested in this game.

However, in all three gaming tests, the surface temperature was kept under 43℃. It seems that the phone adopts a more conservative strategy between temperature control and long-time performance output. For those who care much about gaming performance, hopefully, OPPO can update their software with a more aggressive gaming mode.

Find X5 Pro Review: Camera Performance

Now let’s talk about its camera performance. Just like we mentioned at the beginning, the upgraded camera system is the biggest surprise on the Find X5 Pro. The rear triple camera combination includes a Sony IMX766 50MP primary lens with five-axis stabilization, another 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 13MP 2x telephoto lens. And there’s another powerful Sony IMX 709 selfie camera on the front face. All the cameras are supported by the Marisilicon X NPU chip. With the assistance of the NPU, they could have a pretty decent improvement in night performance and 4K filming.

Main Camera

Now, let’s look at some samples. At first glance, I have to say the samples are really impressive with the energetic and emotional color style presented by the cooperation with Hasselblad. Most samples look more expressive with richer color levels. During the shooting, I especially became passionate about shooting reddish subjects on this phone. It’s very good at recreating natural colors with a wide dynamic range and good contrast.

2X and Telephoto

1 of 5

Not just the main camera, the advantage is carried over to the wide-angle lens and the 2x telephoto lens too. Both of them could present pretty decent colors with rich detail. And the wide-angle lens performs well, especially against imaging distortion and fringing issues. Even the 2x telephoto lens looks much better at presenting images with similar color performance as the main camera.

Night Camera vs Xiaomi 12 Pro

As for its night performance, we took the Xiaomi 12 Pro as a reference, and let’s see whether it’s as powerful as claimed.

Starting from its main camera, it’s quite obvious that the Find X5 Pro’s samples have slightly better clarity and more detail, and if we look closer at the bright areas, the Find X5 Pro still reserves more detail without being over-exposed. And thanks to the five-axis stabilization, it’s much easier for the X5 Pro to catch night images with sharp and clear detail, while the Xiaomi 12 Pro sometimes might not have enough stabilization for a clear image. Especially when shooting in extreme low light conditions, the Find X5 Pro’s images are usually brighter and clearer.

1 of 10

To find out their limits, we brought the two phones to the darkest environment that we could find. During the challenge, both of them had problems focusing. Eventually, the Find X5 Pro caught the flower in the dark and finished the challenge, while it seemed that this environment was too tough for the Xiaomi 12 Pro.

Now let’s check their 2x telephoto lenses. Well, in most samples they have pretty close performance. But the Xiaomi model sometimes could bring purer images, however, the Find X5 Pro is still better at correct exposure for both the dark and bright areas.

Ultra Wide Angle Camera

Now let’s look at the samples shot on their wide-angle lenses. Xiaomi’s image is not as good at noise control as the Find X5 Pro. And the OPPO phone still works better at giving correct exposure to the brightness.

1 of 4

So obviously the Find X5 Pro’s night shooting is a surprise. It can better handle most low-light scenarios with amazing exposure. And the software experience is fast and smooth. Even for the extreme low-light shooting, the whole shooting wouldn’t take you more than 3 seconds. It seems that the additional Marisilicon X NPU plays an important role in night shooting, as it delivers a more enjoyable experience than its predecessor.

Thanks to this imaging chip, you can also shoot decent night 4K videos with pretty good dynamic range, which was an area that Android phones struggled. Anyway, let’s watch some footage shot on the Find X5 Pro.

Find X5 Pro Review: Battery

The phone features a 5000mAh large battery with 80W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging. With the included charger, the phone was full-charged in 30mins, while the wireless method could take a bit longer. As for its battery life test, you can check it here.

So that’s all about the Find X5 Pro in this review. The phone is a true premium flagship in 2022. No matter for its impressive design or the top-notch camera performance, it’s the most surprising flagship that we’ve reviewed in 2022.

We know the industry is having a hard time bringing an evolutionary machine, which is why we appreciate what the Find X5 Pro has achieved.

The post OPPO Find X5 Pro Review: Its Cameras Are Powered By 2 chips! appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese tech giant and BBK subsidiary OPPO has officially launched its latest flagship under the Find X series. The latest model is the Find X5 series made up of the Find X5 and Find X5 Pro. As you would expect, the OPPO Find X5 Pro is higher than the X5 in several aspects including image processing, battery technology, and even the finishing. Let’s take a look at the specs and features of the Find X5 Pro.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is a premium device packing a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440p, 1,300 nits peak brightness, and a variable refresh rate that reaches up to 120Hz. The display also comes with a 10-bit color rendering, 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, and up to 1,000Hz touch sampling rate.

Rumors of a Dimensity 9000 chipset for the Find X5 Pro turned out to be false as the device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with 12GB RAM while there is 256GB storage onboard. The premium flagship gets its interface from the Android 12-based ColorOS 12.1 which brings some improvement in security, aesthetics, and privacy over ColorOS 12. The OS also brings a new Multi-Screen Connect feature, allowing users to switch between the phone and Windows PC.

The Find X5 Pro comes with a self-developed 6nm MariSilicon X chip which delivers the most important upgrade on the phone – the camera processor. The chip relays AI noise reduction and a host of image processing duties including 4K Ultra Night Video with reduced photographic noise and better colors than typical night video. Furthermore, OPPO says the image chip enables the capture of HDR video at 20-bits per channel on the phone.

The phone’s camera configuration includes a 50MP wide Sony IMX766 and a second 50MP ultrawide sensor. There is a third 13MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical magnification (52mm) and 5x hybrid zoom. The camera also comes with the Hasselblad Natural Color Calibration feature, which relies on the new 13-channel color sensor. OPPO also installed a glass front element on the cameras in other to improve color accuracy and reduce chromatic aberration. You also get a new 5-axis optical image stabilization system that combines lens and sensor-shift tech.

For selfies, there is a 32MP Sony IMX709 sensor with RGBW sub-pixels, 80° FoV, automatic 90° group selfie mode.

In terms of the build quality, the Find X5 Pro packs a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus at the front while the rear panel is made from ceramic which is tougher than glass. Apart from strength, the ceramic panel also assists in heat conduction, thus improving cooling.

Under the hood, the device crams a decent 5,000mAh battery with support for 80W SuperVOOC charging capable of charging the phone from 0-50% in 12 minutes. The phone also features support for 50W AirVOOC charging which can fully charge the phone in just 47 minutes. The device is fitted with a Battery Health Engine that extends the battery life and can withstand up to 1,600 charge cycles before the battery starts degrading by 20%. The phone also has a 3D graphene film covering the charging coil and the motherboard in order to improve cooling. There is also a vapor chamber for the Snapdragon chip which is said to be 75% bigger than on the previous model.

The Oppo Find X5 Pro comes in Ceramic White and Glaze Black and is priced at €1,300 for the sole 12GB+256GB option. The device will go on sale on March 14.

The OPPO Find X5 series will use “suspended anti-shake technology” for the first time, which is very similar to the sensor-shift + OIS combo used by Apple on the iPhone 13 series. The technology enables movement of the sensor instead of the lens, that too at a much faster rate. This enables greatly improved stabilization across both photography and videography — but at a cost. According to a new report, the new tech on the Find X5 series is quite pricey and could even result in a slight bump in price.

IT Home via “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” has revealed that the cost of the fancy new suspended anti-shake tech on the OPPO Find X5 series has exceeded $50. While this may not sound like much, BOM (bill of materials) costs typically rise by around 2 to 3 times when converted to the retail price.

On top of that, the Find X5 series is also equipped with OPPO’s first-ever self-developed NPU chip for imaging. Dubbed ‘MariSilicion X,’ the chip only adds to the cost further. And if that’s not enough, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is reportedly pricier than the last-gen Snapdragon 888 chip.

When all of this is put together, it does indeed appear that the OPPO Find X5 series will be priced higher than the Find X3 series. While IT Home expects a 1000 Yuan (~$150) increase, it is hard to know for sure at this point. Hopefully, OPPO will figure out a way to sell the upcoming flagship series without any change in price whatsoever.

MediaTek‘s take on Qualcomm‘s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip is already confirmed to be the Dimensity 9000. Already, we have seen the flagship chipset show some promise over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Samsung’s Exynos 2200. But as they say, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. MediaTek’s flagship chip is yet to find its way into a smartphone. Well, we may soon see a Dimensity 9000-powered smartphone.

The camera offering on this device is where things start to get really interesting. As mentioned above, the camera system of the Find X5 Pro is apparently being developed in collaboration with Hasselblad who have till now only worked on OnePlus Flagship devices, which is a sub-brand of OPPO.

The Find X5 Pro uses two 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensors to work as its primary and ultrawide camera. The primary camera has an 80-degree FOV and an F/1.7 aperture, while the ultrawide comes with an F/2.2 aperture. Both primary and ultrawide cameras will come with optical image stabilization.

The device will also feature the newly developed MariSilicon X Imaging NPU for image processing and AI-based applications and enhancements. The additional sensor present on the camera island appears to be a color sensor.

OPPO’s next iteration of its flagship lineup is almost upon us. And while it seems to be skipping the X4 name, directly jumping on to the Find X5 moniker for some reason, it doesn’t give a miss to 2022’s latest and greatest phone specifications. A late February launch date is expected in China but a new report says that the device is already undergoing internal testing in India.

The information comes from blogger Yogesh Brar who says that OPPO is carrying out closed testing for the Find X5 series in India as we speak, meaning we should be seeing a launch sometime in March.

Coming to the specifications of the OPPO Find X5 series, the standard Find X5 is expected to be powered by the Dimensity 9000 processor while the Find X5 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The former is actually MediaTek’s very first true flagship processor and its performance when pitched against Qualcomm’s champ remains to be seen.

Both phones will come with the OPPO’s self-developed Mariana MariSilicon X imaging NPU chip that will assist the 50MP Sony IMX766 primary rear camera. On the front, there will be a 32MP Sony IMX709 camera for selfies.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is expected to come with a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED LTPO 2.0 display that will offer a 120Hz refresh rate. It will likely have up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The battery will likely be sized 5,000mAh and will support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.
