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.

Oppo has scheduled to launch the Find X5 series on February 24 in the market. Ahead of its release, we’ve seen the renders and specs of the vanilla Find X5 and Find X5 Pro. Now, the tipster @evleaks has shared the official renders of the upcoming Oppo Find X5 Lite.

Ther Find X5 Lite renders reveal the phone’s design. The device looks exactly like the Oppo Reno7 Indian model that launched a few weeks back. In addition to this, a tipster recently revealed that the X5 Lite will actually be a rebranded version of the Reno7. And after looking at the images, it appears to be true.

The smartphone sports the exact same punch-hole display, triple rear camera design, and has the same colors as the Reno7. Going by this, we can safely assume that the screen here on the Oppo Find X5 Lite is a 6.43-inch AMOLED panel.

A publication recently shared the specs sheet of the phone. The smartphone is said to feature a 90Hz panel with Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The display will double up as an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The selfie camera at the top left corner will be a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor. At the rear, it will feature a 64MP + 8MP + 2MP triple camera system. Here, the secondary sensor will be an ultra-wide lens with a 118.9-degree FOV and the tertiary lens will be a macro sensor.

Inside, the phone will have the MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The phone is expected to have a 4,500mAh battery with support for 65W fast charging technology. The phone will boot on ColorOS 12 based on Android 12.
