Oppo has introduced ColorOS 14, the brand’s newest operating system built on Android 14. While the update has been rapidly reaching devices in China, the global rollout has been more gradual. Notably, Oppo has recently initiated the rollout of the Oppo Find X5, a device initially launched in February 2022.

The official Android 14 x ColorOS 14 for Oppo Find X5 is now available for users in France and Egypt. However, the update is available on an apply-only basis. We have listed the way to apply below, but before proceeding, make sure that your smartphone is on the detectable version: CPH2307_14.0.0.200(EX01).

How to apply:

To apply for the Oppo Find X5 Android 14 x ColorOS 14 update, follow these simple steps. First, navigate to the “Settings” on your device and select “About device.” Next, tap on the top of the page and locate the icon in the upper right corner. From there, choose “Trial versions,” followed by “Official version,” and finally, select “Apply Now.” In the second step, proceed to detect the update and initiate the download by selecting “Download Now.” Upon completion, you will promptly receive the updated version for your Oppo Find X5.

Before proceeding with the update, it’s crucial to consider a few key points. Firstly, ensure you back up essential personal data to prevent potential loss during the update due to incompatibility or unexpected issues.

Following the update, the Operating System will undertake various optimizations automatically, which might result in temporary device heating, lagging, and accelerated battery drainage. To address this, it is recommended to turn off the screen and charge the device overnight post-update, or simply continue using the device – normal performance should resume within a few days.

It’s worth noting that some third-party applications may not be compatible with the Android 14 update. This could lead to their unavailability or technical issues, such as lagging and crashing on your device. To mitigate this, consider updating these applications to the latest version available in the App Market after completing the device update.

The post Oppo Find X5 gets Android 14 x ColorOS 14 update in France & Egypt appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

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.

OPPO Find X5 vs OPPO Reno8 Pro Global

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.

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.

The post Oppo recruiting more ColorOS 13 Closed Beta testers for Oppo Find X5, X5 Pro, OnePlus 10 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

The beta program of the latest version of Oppo’s custom Android skin- ColorOS 13- is finally here. Oppo announced the latest iteration of ColorOS at a developer conference in China and today the company has officially started the closed beta program for ColorOS 13.

According to the announcement posts by OnePlus and Oppo, users owning OnePlus 10 Pro, Oppo Find X5, and Find X5 Pro can now sign up for the ColorOS 13 closed beta program to experience the latest version of Oppo’s custom skin before everyone else.

The recruitment time for the internal test log version is from July 5th to 12:00 on July 7th. The number of recruits for each model is 500, and it will take 5 working days to review the applications. The closed beta build will be rolled out in batches within 3 working days after the review is completed.

Please note that the closed beta program is currently started for Chinese users and global users will have to wait a little longer.

It is worth mentioning that the closed beta build of the ColorOS 13 is still in the development stage, it’s obviously not as stable as the official version. Oppo made it clear in the announcement posts that there are plenty of bugs in the software and your device may get affected. Also, because the program is started for testing the software, the log capture function of the log version will always be on and it likely will affect the performance and battery life of the smartphone.

If you are interested, you can check out the known issues and other details of the OnePlus 10 Pro, Oppo Find X5, and Find X5 Pro ColorOS closed beta program.

Recently, the tipster Digital Chat station shared some screenshots of ColorOS 13, which revealed that the software will carry a slew of improvements in the form of visuals and new features.

This year, for the first time, Realme released a top-tier flagship. We are talking about the Realme GT 2 Pro which hitten the global shelves in the last few days with amazing specifications. Despite being a premium flagship, its price is still not at the same level as the top-tier flagships from the other mainstream brands. Its price range (almost) matches the one of the OPPO Find X5, the vanilla version of the new Find X5 Series including the Find X5 Pro, and the Lite variant as well (in the global market). So is it better to go for the most advanced Relame device or for the affordable flagship of the OPPO advanced lineup? We hope to answer this question through a comparison between their specifications.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs OPPO Find X5

Design

Realme GT 2 Pro has a green and sustainable design. Its body has been built with a special bio-polymer which resembles the touch & feel of the paper allowing for lower carbon emissions. And it looks very innovative thanks to that. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X5 has a futuristic look as well, thanks to its glass + aluminum body full of curves. It has not the same ceramic body as the Find X5 Pro, but it remains a very original and interesting phone if we talk about aesthetics. Which one would you pick?

Display

The Realme GT 2 Pro has a superior display if compared to the OPPO Find X5. Its panel has the same specifications as the display found on the Find X5 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro. It is an AMOLED panel with a 6.7-inch diagonal, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, one billion colors, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, a peak brightness up to 1400 nits, and the HDR10+ certification. The OPPO Find X5 has similar specifications but it comes with a lower Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and without the LTPO technology. Both the handsets come with stereo speakers and in-display fingerprint scanners.

Specs & Software

The Realme GT 2 Pro wins even when it comes to the hardware department. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that is actually the best Qualcomm chipset to date, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage (up to 256 GB in the European market). The OPPO Find X5 is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship mobile platform from 2021: the weaker Snapdragon 888. The highest-end memory configuration is the same, but the CPU and GPU performances are lower. There are not many differences between the two user interfaces installed: the Realme UI 3.0 actually comes with the ColorOS codebase just like the OxygenOS, so there are just a few different customizations, but the core is the same.

Camera

The OPPO Find X5 is a more interesting phone if we consider the camera departments. Both the handsets come with a pair of 50 MP rear cameras: a Sony IMX766 main sensor with OIS and a Sony IMX766 ultrawide camera. But the third sensor is different: the Find X5 has a better 13 MP telephoto lens, while the Realme GT 2 Pro replaces it with a 3 MP microscope camera with 40x magnification for macro shots. Further, the OPPO Find X5 adds the amazing MariSilicon X NPU improving the image quality, especially in low light conditions.

Battery

The Realme GT 2 Pro is equipped with a bigger 5000 mAh battery, so its battery life should be longer. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X5 supports faster 80W charging and, unlike the GT 2 Pro, it even comes with wireless charging (50W).

Price

The OPPO Find X5 retails for €999/$1090 in Europe, while you can find the Realme GT 2 Pro for €749/$817. Which one should you go for? It depends on your needs: the OPPO Find X5 comes with better cameras, faster charging, and wireless charging, while the Realme GT 2 Pro has a better display, a superior chipset, and a bigger battery. Now, you can make your choice.

The Find X5 costs £749 and the Find X5 Pro retails for £1,049. The series is now on pre-orders in the region and it will be on bookings till March 23. Notably, those who pre-order any of these phones will get free gifts.

Oppo is offering free gifts like the AirVOOC wireless charging stand, Oppo Enco X TWS earbuds, Oppo Watch Free, and the Kevlar Aramid case.

Oppo Find X5 Series Specifications 

The Oppo Find X5 has a 6.55-inch FHD+ OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Find X5 Pro gets a larger 6.7-inch QHD+ OLED panel with the same 120Hz refresh rate. Both come with a 50MP main + 50MP ultra-wide + 13MP telephoto triple camera system and have a 32MP selfie shooter.

At the helm, the X5 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, while the vanilla X5 gets a Snapdragon 888 SoC. Both support 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, but the X5 Pro has a 5,000mAh battery, while the X5 packs a 4,800mAh cell. The series boots on ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12 OS.

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.

OPPO announced the OPPO Find X5 series yesterday after teasing it for the past few days. The original lineup includes three models, namely OPPO Find X5, OPPO Find X5 Pro, and OPPO Find X5 Pro Dimensity Edition. Out of these, the vanilla variant uses display panels supplied by BOE.

After the launch of the OPPO Find X5 series, BOE revealed that it exclusively provides curved OLED panels for the regular OPPO Find X5. This screen is curved on four sides and sports a punch hole at the top left corner.

As far as specs are concerned, the BOE-supplied OLED panel on the OPPO Find X5 is an LTPO flexible AMOLED screen measuring 6.55 inches diagonally. It has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 10-bit color depth (1.07 billion colors), and 402 PPI.

The display supports up to 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. Talking about color gamut coverage, it can cover 97% of NTSC, 100% of DCI-P3, and 100% of sRGB.

The screen’s brightness can reach up to 1,000 nits and it has a screen-to-body ratio of 92.7%. Last but not least, it is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

On the other hand, the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro Dimensity Edition use Samsung Display’s E4 2K AMOLED canvas with LTPO 2.0 technology. This panel is better, and therefore, it is fitted on expensive phones.

The post OPPO Find X5 uses OLED panels from BOE appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Alongside the premium Find X5 Pro, OPPO also announced the vanilla Find X5 bearing an almost similar camera setup as the Pro model. The OPPO Find X5 is expected to go on sale on March 14 and carries a price tag of €999 in Europe. Just like the Pro model, it is available in a single 8GB+256GB option.

OPPO Find X5 Specifications  

The OPPO Find X5 is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 888 chipset which is not as powerful as the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip onboard the Find X5 Pro. The chipset still places the vanilla model in the flagship category, though. OPPO still retained the custom 6nm MariSilicon X image processing chip on the device as well as the Hasselblad Natural Color Calibration feature.

The processor is paired with 8GB RAM while there is 256GB internal storage on the model. It equally runs on the latest ColorOS 12.1 which is based on the Android 12 operating system. ColorOS 12.1 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 vanilla X5 packs a slightly smaller 6.55-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1080p+. Although it is not an LTPO panel, it comes with up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

For photography, the Find X5 packs an almost similar setup as the X5 Pro, including two Sony IMX766 wide and ultrawide sensors. The wide sensor comes with a regular Optical Image Stabilization (IOS) but not the 5-axis OIS onboard the Pro model. The device equally packs a 13MP telephoto camera with 2z optical magnification and a 52mm lens. For selfies, there is a 32MP camera but it is an older Sony IMX615 sensor with 81° FoV.

Under the hood, the Find X5 crams a 4,800mAh battery and you also get the same support for 80W SuperVOOC wired fast charging as the Find X5 Pro. The phone also comes with 30W AirVOOC wireless charging slightly lower than the 45W wireless charging on the X5 Pro. Although the Snapdragon 888 chipset doesn’t have the same heating issue as the SD 8 Gen1, the device comes with a multi-tier cooling system just like its bigger sibling including an extra-large vapor chamber. There is also no IP rating for dust and water protection.

The Find X5 comes in Black and White colorways.

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 post OPPO Find X5 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Gen1, MariSilicon X image chip launched appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

MediaTek has now released a couple of teasers on its official Weibo account confirming that the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset will launch first on the OPPO Find X5 series. The company categorically stated that the Dimensity 9000 will be launched onboard the OPPO Find X5 series on February 24.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000 will be based on TSMC’s 4nm process with a 3.0GHz Cortex-X2 super core, three 2.85GHz A710 large cores, and four 1.8GHz A510 mid-core architecture.

In terms of benchmark performance, the Dimensity 9000’s AnTuTu score exceeded 1,017,488 points which is higher than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s score. On GeekBench, the flagship processor scored 1273 points on the single core test and 4324 points on the multi core test. The multi-core test score exceeds that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which falls between 3,800 and 3,900 points.

We’ll find out more about the Dimensity 9000 when the Find X5 series go official on February 24.

Ahead of its scheduled February 24 unveiling of the Oppo Find X5 series, there are strong indications that the Chinese tech company may have a few other products lined up for unveiling as well. A new seemingly official teaser points in the direction of multiple products being released on February 24.

The teaser is coming from Oppo’s official Weibo account and it suggests a pair of wireless buds, a new smartwatch, and a tablet will be birthed. Indeed, there has been speculation since November 2021 about a possible Oppo tablet and the teaser could be the clearest indication yet of the impending launch of the product.

The buds are probably the Enco X2 TWS that surfaced via a leak in January, while not much is known about the watch hitherto. It could however possibly be a successor to the Oppo Watch 2 which was launched in 2021.

While February 24 is barely a week away, we expect to see more details about the three products in the coming days. For now, the Oppo Find X5 series is the main product but the scenario remains fluid as it could be upended by one of these other products – at least in terms of hype.

Earlier today (15th February 2022), OPPO shared an interesting new announcement on its official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). The company revealed that it will be partnering up with Hasselblad for the cameras on its next gen flagship Find X series of smartphones.

For those unaware, Hasselblad is a known professional camera maker from Sweden. It has patterned up with other smartphone brands like OnePlus in the past, and now, it is working with OPPO for its upcoming premium grade handsets. As per the official announcement, the Chinese company stated its partnership with Hasselblad with include major technological innovations as well. This includes computational color and computational optics, along with joint research and development of Hasselblad Focus Color.

Furthermore, these new cameras optimized by the professional camera maker will be for its high end Find X series of smartphones. With OPPO merging with OnePlus, both firms will also share their research and development platform and resources, which means that more users will benefit from the Hasselblad cameras as well. Notably, this also follows shortly after the company announced the MariSilicon X NPU imaging chipset that was dedicated for photography.

Previously, we had even reported on Find X5 Pro specifications and renders leak, which revealed the Hasselblad camera branding on the rear. So, this announcement is in line with our report. The cooperation between Hasselblad and OPPO will reportedly last for up to 3 years. With the inclusion of the former’s expertise in camera technology, we can even expect the new flagship to offer better optimizations for its sensors, with more natural colors. This is all the information we have for now, so stay tuned for more updates.

Last week, a render leak revealed many details about the upcoming OPPO flagship dubbed the Find X5 Pro. And now, the renders and specs of the vanilla Find X5 have also surfaced giving us a detailed look at its design and features.

OPPO Find X5 renders

1 of 6

Stylistically, Find X5 is almost the same as the Find X5 Pro featuring a screen with curved edges with a punch-hole cutout placed on the top left for the selfie camera. The power button appears to be located on the right side while the volume rocker is present on the left.

Even the unorthodox-shaped camera is also the same as the Pro variant but it features a minute change. The Find X5 has a thin border on the outside of the camera island which is not present in the Find X5 Pro.

The German publication WinFuture states that, unlike the Find X5 Pro, the vanilla variant will feature a Snapdragon 888 SoC and boot ColorOS 12.1 out of the box. It will only be offered in one memory configuration in European markets, being 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage.

The device will feature a 6.55-inch 2400 x 1080p AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 7 protection.

The triple-camera on the device will be identical to the Pro model and will use two 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensors to work as a primary camera and an ultra-wide one. Both of these camera units will feature optical image stabilization. The third cutout will house a 13-megapixel telephoto lens capable of 5x hybrid zoom and 20x digital zoom. The front camera will have a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 sensor.

The cameras will come with Hasselblad tuning and will use the newly developed MariSilicon X Imaging NPU for image processing and AI-based applications and enhancements.

OPPO will offer a 4800mAh battery with 80W fast charging support and wireless charging capabilities. For connectivity, it will have 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC. The dust and water resistance on the vanilla X5 is not on par with the Find X5 Pro’s IP68 as it only offers IP54 dust and water resistance.

The pricing of the device is hinted to be around 1000 Euros for the European markets but it is too soon to say for certain so stay tuned for more updates.

Oppo is expected to launch the Find X5 series soon in the market. The series will have the vanilla X5, X5 Pro, and X5 Lite. Ahead of the series’ launch, there have been multiple leaks and certifications. Now, Winfuture has shared fresh renders and detailed the specs sheet of the Oppo Find X5 Lite.

Previously, a tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore revealed that the Oppo Find X5 Lite will be a rebranded version of the Oppo Reno7 5G. Now, the renders from the German publication confirm exactly the same. No doubt will indeed be a rebadged model.

Since it will be a rebadged model, the specs will be the same as the Reno7 5G. As per the specs sheet shared by the publication, the Oppo Find X5 Lite will sport a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+(2400 x 1080 pixels) resolution and 90Hz refresh rate.

OPPO is expected to soon launch its next-generation Find-series flagship smartphones in its home country China. Key details of the upcoming OPPO Find X5 series smartphones have already leaked online.

Now, a new report from Digital Chat Station claims that the official launch of the Find X5 lineup of smartphones could take place towards the end of February this year. Along with this, the company will also launch a few other products at the same event.

This is in line with the previous reports that indicated that the OPPO Find X5 series will go official in the Chinese market in February 2022. There will likely be two models — Find X5 and Find X5 Pro while global markets could get a third model in the form of Find X5 Lite.

It is said that the OPPO Find X5 will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, making it the first device to pack this new processor. On the other hand, the Pro model will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

Both the phones will come equipped with the company’s self-developed Mariana MariSilicon X imaging NPU chip. 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. Internally, the device is said to have up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The screen will have a punch-hole cutout for housing the 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 camera for taking selfies and video calling. On the back, the smartphone will feature a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS support, a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 13-megapixel tertiary camera sensor.

As we arrive at a new year, various smartphone makers are gearing up to launch their latest flagship grade handsets. Now, a new report has revealed some interesting information regarding the upcoming Oppo Find X5 series.

The news comes from @数码闲聊站 on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website. The tipster claimed that the company’s Find X5 series will feature launch in two variants, namely the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. Furthermore, the Snapdragon variant will also arrive with the Chinese smartphone brand’s new self developed MariSilicon X NPU chipset. Although, it is currently unknown if the MediaTek version of the Find X5 series will also feature their in house NPU.

For those unaware, the MariSilicon X NPU is the brand’s first self developed imaging based chipset. The new chip is manufactured using the 6nm process from TSMC and seeks to improve imaging performance of upcoming Oppo smartphones. Notably, the company had previously announced that its Find X series of flagship phones will feature the new NPU, so the new leak is in line with the company’s actual plans.

However, it is still unclear if the brand will be launching the Find X5 series in two different processor variants. Additionally, if the Dimensity 9000 skips the MariSilicon X NPU, then there will also be a difference in imaging performance between the Qualcomm and MediaTek versions. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.

OPPO is reportedly working on its next-generation Find-series flagship smartphones which are expected to officially launch sometime in February or March next year. Ahead of the announcement from the brand, some details related to the devices have already leaked.

Now, in the latest development, @OnLeaks has shared renders of the upcoming OPPO Find X5 Pro smartphone. This is the same device that was expected to get launched as Find X4 Pro but the company is expected to skip the “4” number. The reason behind this is likely that the number four is considered unlucky in the Chinese culture.

The renders showcase a camera module similar to the one we have already seen on the Find X3 Pro. However, this time, the company seems to be adopting an irregular trapezoidal shape for the camera module instead of square. It still continues the design language with the phone’s back shell smoothly extending to the convex part of the camera module.

One major difference is the phone’s back panel which now has a sandblasted texture instead of the glass design that we saw on the previous generation model.

Coming to the front side, the device will have a punch-hole cutout in the top-left corner of the screen for housing the front-facing camera. The renders show minimal bezels surrounding the display, hinting at a higher screen-to-body ratio. The volume rocker keys are located on the left side frame while the power button is on the right frame.

As for the specifications, based on the leaks so far, the OPPO Find X5 Pro is expected to feature a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. It will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

In the camera department, there could be a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 13-megapixel telephoto or macro sensor. On the front side, it is likely to house a 32-megapixel snapper.

The phone is said to pack a 5,000mAh battery with fast charging support. Along with the OPPO Find X5 Pro, the company is also expected to launch the OPPO Find X5 which is said to come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC.
