MagyarOppo Find X5 Smartphone Review: Budget Smartphone with a Four Digit Price Tag
Oppo is seeking to establish itself as a premium brand. The manufacturer has given a price tag of 1000 Euros for the Find X5, and this is not even the top model of the current series. This honor belongs to the Find X5 Pro, which officially costs another 300 Euros. Only the Find X5 Lite, which is available in online shops for less than 500 Euros, is reasonably cheap.
Just like the Find X5 Pro, the Find X5 also claims to be high-end, for it has inherited many features from the flagship and is thus equal to it in many respects. One example is the camera unit, which was developed in cooperation with Hasselblad. Unlike the Find X5 Pro, however, the Find X5 is not powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but "only" by the Snapdragon 888, but this offers more than enough performance for everyday use.

Case - All-around glass, matte and velvet back cover
The Oppo Find X5 is a slick piece of technology. Unlike the Oppo Find X5 Pro, the back cover is not made of ceramic, but of glass. Our review sample looks very classy with its matte white back cover and leaves practically no fingerprints. The surface also feels very high quality due to its velvety texture. Oppo also offers the smartphone in black.
The most striking design feature on the back is the camera unit. It does not use a rectangular bezel, but it has a slight tilt upwards at the lower right corner. Furthermore, the back cover and lens ensemble seem to have merged into one unit. The camera unit protrudes visibly and tangibly from the casing, but curves into the back, which further reinforces the initial impression of the smartphone as being of an overall high quality. However, the Find X5 wobbles quite a bit on the table, even when using the included protective cover.
The display glass of the Find X5 is also made of Gorilla Glass Victus, but still comes covered with a factory-standard protective film. The curved screen edges connect seamlessly to the metal frame that holds the front and back firmly together. Overall, the Find X5 is impressive with its high build quality and looks as if it was made from one piece. A pity, however, that Oppo did away with an IP certification of the smartphone. The Find X5 Pro, on the other hand, is waterproof and dustproof according to IP68 certification.
Hardware - Oppo Find X5 with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage
The Oppo Find X5 is only available in one storage configuration: 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. If you subtract the storage space taken up by the Android 12, ColorOS 12.1 and the preinstalled apps, the actual available storage space amounts to almost 230 GB. This cannot be expanded due to the lack of a microSD slot.
Oppo's smartphone does not have a 3.5 mm jack or an FM radio. Instead, the USB-C port supports OTG as well as USB 3.2 Gen.1, meaning that data can be transferred at a nominal rate of 5 Gb/s. Many competitors would do well to take note of this, since most devices, including many high-priced models, only run at USB 2.0 speed.
The USB cable supplied with our review sample only supported USB 2.0, which did not allow for more than 30 MB/s on average. The Find X5 achieved the promised USB 3.2 Gen.1 speed with a USB 3.0 cable.
Software - Android 12 and ColorOS 12.1
The Oppo Find X5 runs Android 12 and the manufacturer's own ColorOS 12.1 user interface. At the time of testing (early April), the Android security patches were from February 1 and are thus still quite up to date.
The clearly designed ColorOS 12.1 stands out with some software settings that are usually lacking in a standard Android, such as a split-screen view. This is activated via a three-finger swipe and displays two apps on the screen at the same time. The Multi Screen Connect feature allows for the smartphone to be mirrored and operated on Windows PCs.
Fortunately, Oppo was restrained in its choice of software offerings on the Find X5. Alongside the standard Google apps and several manufacturer tools such as a phone manager, clone app and compass, only a few third-party apps have found their way into ROM. These apps, including Facebook, Netflix, TikTok and AliExpress, can all be uninstalled.
Communication and GNSS – Fast WiFi, average GPS
Apart from mmWave, Oppo's Find X5 supports all common mobile network standards including 5G-SA (17 bands) and 5G-NSA (13 bands), so there should be no reception problems anywhere.
In terms of WLAN, the Find X5 uses Wi-Fi 6 with MIMO support. Connected to our Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 reference router, it achieved stable and fast transfer rates in both send and receive directions, which are roughly on par with the comparison devices. NFC and Bluetooth 5.2 are also part of the Find X5's connectivity repertoire.

The Oppo smartphone determines its location via GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS, but is limited to one band in each case. Nevertheless, the Oppo X5 was able to determine its current position within a few seconds with an accuracy of up to 3 meters (~10 feet), both indoors and outdoors.
However, our initially positive impression of the GPS system faded a little on our little bike tour test. The Oppo X5 performed equally as well in terms of accuracy as the Garmin Venu 2 on stretches with a lot of open spaces, but it was sometimes way off the mark in densely built-up areas. However, its overall performance should suffice for everyday navigation with Google Maps and the like.
Telephone features and speech quality
The Oppo Find X5 delivers good voice quality during calls. Our calls to the fixed and mobile networks were always well understood by both parties. Voices also sound natural in loudspeaker mode and are largely free of interference thanks to effective noise suppression.
Two nano-SIM cards fit in the Find X5. Alternatively, the smartphone can also use an eSIM instead of a physical card. VoLTE and VoWiFi are supported.
Cameras - Almost the same setup as the Find X5 Pro
The Find X5 uses almost the same camera setup as the top model Oppo Find X5 Pro. The selfie camera works with 32 MP and is concealed behind a punch-hole integrated into the top left of the display. It offers good recording quality as well as numerous filters and retouching effects. Video recording is limited to 1080p.
Oppo has developed the main camera setup in collaboration with Hasselblad. It consists of a 50 MP wide-angle and uItra-wide-angle camera (both with the Sony IMX 766 chip) and a 13 MP telephoto camera. Unlike the Find X5 Pro, the main camera of the Find X5 uses a 2-axis instead of a 5-axis image stabilizer. For this, the same image processing NPU in the form of the MariSilicon X is used.
Photos taken with the Find X5 look really good. Colors and contrasts look natural, and the image sharpness also functions well in the targeted areas. In some cases, however, the camera uses a slightly cold white balance and occasionally omits details in dark areas of the image. But at nighttime, the Find X5 nevertheless manages to capture a lot of light.
The ultra-wide-angle camera does its job almost as well and delivers sharp pictures with only minimal chromatic aberrations at the edges of the image. At the same time, it also serves as a macro camera, thus operating in a focus range of up to 4 centimeters (~1.6 inches). The telephoto camera also delivers good image quality, but is somewhat limited in its usage options due to its 2x optical zoom.
During video recordings, which can be recorded at a maximum of 4K at 60 frames per second, you can conveniently switch between the wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle cameras via a stepless slider. The picture quality is also good here.

Under controlled lighting conditions, the Oppo Find X5 reproduces colors very accurately. Even at an illuminance of just 1 lux, it captures the test chart clearly and with all details but has trouble focusing sharply on it.
Accessories and warranty - 80-watt SUPERVOOC power supply
With the Find X5, Oppo includes an 80-watt rapid charger, a USB data cable (Type C to A), a SIM tool, a protective case, a quick-start guide, and a leaflet with safety instructions. An OTG adapter is also included.
The Oppo Find X5 comes with a 24-month warranty.
Input devices & operation - Optical fingerprint sensor and 2D face unlock
The capacitive touchscreen of the Find X5 works with a sampling rate of up to 240 Hz and responds accurately to touch input, regardless of where it is made on the screen. The smartphone is equipped with a factory standard protective screen foil that fits almost seamlessly with the touchscreen on the two short sides, but only covers the curvature on the two rounded long sides up to about half of the curve. The protective foil can be felt quite easily when holding the Oppo in your hands and the transition to the touchscreen feels quite hard.
Biometric authentication on the Find X5 takes place via the optical fingerprint sensor, which is hidden under the display. This functioned reliably and quickly in the test. The second unlocking method is 2D face recognition, which runs just as quickly in bright ambient light. Speed also remains high in the dark, but the recognition hit rate drops considerably. Then again, with a sufficiently bright display, the face unlock is normally very reliable.
Display - AMOLED panel screen with 120 Hz
The 6.55-inch AMOLED screen of the Find X5 with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and operates with a refresh rate of 60 or 120 Hz.
According to the manufacturer, the screen is supposed to achieve a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m², but falls a little short in the test with a maximum of 813 cd/m² in the APL50 measurement. Nevertheless, the luminance is really good with the brightness sensor enabled, averaging around 718 cd/m². The Oppo also illuminates the display area very well with 95%. Without the brightness sensor, the screen achieves a maximum of 500 cd/m². At the lowest brightness level, it still shines with 2.14 cd/m².
The OLED flickering ranges from 120.2 to 371.3 Hz at a brightness level of less than 55%. Above that, it remains a constant 120 Hz (when the 120 Hz refresh rate is enabled).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 371.3 Hz |  | |
The display backlight flickers at 371.3 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) . The frequency of 371.3 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17146 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
In "Natural" color mode, the AMOLED display is limited to the sRGB color space, while the preset "Vivid" color mode covers the larger DCI-P3 color space. This occurred at 98.7% in our test device and is thus very close to the promised 100% color space coverage.
The Find X5 also delivered the best color reproduction in "Vivid" color mode and an adjusted color temperature (see screenshot for settings). Color precision and temperature as well as the RGB balance were all exemplary.

The Oppo Find X5 can be used well outdoors due to its high screen brightness. Even in direct sunlight, content can still be recognized without much difficulty.
The viewing angle stability receives a thumbs up from us. At very flat viewing angles, the display can appear slightly greenish or bluish in color, which is typical for AMOLEDs, and it also loses a bit of brightness. However, both have little or no effect on readability.
Performance - Oppo Find X5 with Snapdragon 888
The Find X5 is equipped with the Snapdragon 888, one of the fastest smartphone SoCs currently available. The Adreno 660 graphics chip is also in the high-end segment. Together with 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and fast UFS 3.1 memory, the Find X5 impresses with excellent system performance, ensuring short loading and response times in everyday use.
Sony's Xperia 5 III, which is also equipped with the Snapdragon 888, has a tough duel with the Find X5. The Oppo achieves a larger score advantage in AnTuTu v9, but unlike the Sony, it is limited to a maximum of 60 FPS in GFXBench. In practice, both smartphones have so much power that they can hardly be maxed out by any app. This also applies to the comparison devices with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which still computes a few percentage points faster than the Snapdragon 888 across all benchmarks.

Gaming - Powerful gaming smartphone
Stereo speakers, performance galore, smoothly functioning position and motion sensors, and a precise touchscreen: Games are fun on the Find X5. Despite the activated 120 Hz display, our two test games. Armajet and PUBG Mobile, could not manage to run at more than 30 frames per second. However, there were no performance drops or stutters at any point. The frame rates determined with our test tool Gamebench remained practically fixed at 30 FPS.
Emissions - Sufficient performance despite throttling
Temperature
The Oppo Find X5's glass surfaces heat up to a maximum of 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) in use, which does not feel uncomfortable when held in the hand. Internally, however, the Snapdragon 888 throttles its performance as soon as it gets too hot. And this happens rather quickly, as 3DMark's Wild Life stress tests show. GFXBench would probably have delivered similar results, but unfortunately, the app always shut down before displaying the results.
The reduced SoC performance is unnoticeable in everyday use because there is still more than enough power on demand. However, we had to let the smartphone cool down for a while after each test run in order to obtain the best possible benchmark scores and thus meaningful comparison rates, as full power was otherwise no longer available.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 37.5 °C / 100 F, compared to the average of 35.1 °C / 95 F, ranging from 21.9 to 63.2 °C for the class Smartphone.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 36.5 °C / 98 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F

Speakers
The Find X5 uses two Dolby Atmos-compatible stereo speakers that are located on the two short sides and can be played relatively loudly without distortion. However, they do not sound particularly uniform in the mid and high ranges and almost completely omit the bass range.
Audio devices can be connected to the Oppo via a USB jack adapter, which is wireless via Bluetooth 5.2. Supported Bluetooth audio codecs are SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD and LDAC.

Battery life - 80 watts charging power and 50 watts wireless charging
Power consumption
The Find X5 is economical with its battery power. Compared to Sony's Xperia 5 III, which is also equipped with the Snapdragon 888, the Oppo smartphone's power consumption was sometimes significantly lower in all load scenarios.
The 4800 mAh battery can be recharged very quickly via the included 80-watt power supply. In the test, it only took 40 minutes to fully recharge an empty battery. Wireless charging (30 watts) and reverse wireless charging (10 watts) are also available on the Find X5.

Battery life
There are smartphones that must be recharged every day even under normal use because the battery then goes flat on the second day. With operating times of more than 15 hours during simulated web browsing and over 21 hours during video playback, the Find X5 proves that it does not belong to this category. If you use the Oppo heavily, the battery is likely to go flat after one day. But under normal use, two days in a row should definitely be possible.
