[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] XDARoni:
I am very excited to have received the OPPO Find X5 Pro in Ceramic White. My model has 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. I have been using this new phone for two full weeks now, as my primary device. This is my review of the OPPO Find X5 Pro.

Build Quality / Design​

When unboxing your phone for the first time, you’ll instantly notice the bold new design choice which features sloped edges around the camera bump. It gives the phone a very fluid look, as if it’s water flowing down from the peak of the device, and runs off the edges. The back of the phone is made of a premium ceramic material which has a very high-end feel to it. This quality extends to the buttons, with very solid and clicky interactions.

The white model that I have has a lot of contrast between the lettering on the back, against the milk-like surface. I really like the way this phone looks and feels, overall.

Performance / Gaming​

Unsurprisingly, this phone is very fast. Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and paired with 12GB of RAM, this phone is pretty maxed out in terms of specs. ColorOS 12.1 is faster and more responsive than ever. Games and apps launch quickly while being able to make 3D graphics look amazing.

I ran a benchmark on my phone to hopefully give a better idea of how fast this phone really is.

One of my favorite games to play is PUBG, which also happens to be one of the most resource-intensive 3D games for Android. When I play on my OPPO Find X5 Pro, I'm able to run the game at the max settings, while maintaining a steady 120fps. This smooth gameplay looks fantastic on the 120hz display. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 does an impressive job of processing 3D graphics and rendering large open worlds.

Best ColorOS Features

ColorOS 12.1 ships as the default software on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. The included software has many features built-in that make customizing your phone fun and simple. One of the best ways to show off your personal style is with Always-On Display. You can create a custom pattern, text, and clock style to appear on your phone. My Always-On Display shows my three favorite bird emojis, a jellyfish photo that I took at the aquarium, and the time and date in the format that I choose.

Everyone values their privacy and security, which is why I really appreciate some of the features like App lock, Hide apps, Private Safe, and System cloner. Using the ColorOS privacy tools, you can even shut off your camera or microphone so that they cannot be used by any apps or services at all. Your privacy dashboard gives you a quick overview of all of the apps that are collecting data like camera, microphone, location, etc.

ColorOS is filled with great features that will enhance your use of your smartphone. Included apps like O Relax and Music Party are worth checking out as well.

Camera Review​

To put the camera of the OPPO Find X5 Pro to the test, I took it to my local aquarium, where I could use it in a variety of different lighting situations. There are several key camera modes that I find myself using the most, which provide more flexibility with the way I edit and share my photos.

If I am shooting photos that I intend to edit on my computer, I use the RAW PLUS feature. This will let me capture RAW photos with tons of data. When I want to use the 2X camera or shoot with NIGHT mode, I’ll activate the 10-bit color feature instead. I can easily edit these photos with the ColorOS editing tools, while still preserving the color data of a photo. The last mode that I use frequently is the standard PHOTO mode with AI scene enhancements on. This is best for shots that I intend to post straight to social media, and don’t want to worry about edits or file size issues.

There are a lot of features to explore with this phone and different ways to take advantage of the powerful sensors in the front and rear cameras. Here is a full view of the camera specs of this phone.

Rear:

50MP Main Camera: f/1.7; FOV 80°; 1G6P lens

50MP Ultra-wide Angle Camera: f/2.2; FOV 112°; 7P lens

13MP Telephoto Camera: f/2.4; FOV 45°; 5P lens

Front:

32MP Front Camera: f/2.4; FOV 90°; lens: 5P

Conclusion​

The OPPO Find X5 Pro feels like a very polished device. The introduction of the 80W SuperVOOC charging definitely changes the way you use and charge your phone. The cameras are some of the best that you’ll find in any smartphone, and inspire you to take more photos using features that make the whole process simple and fun. The performance is fast enough that you’ll be able to use this phone for years to come and be perfectly happy with the speed at which it runs apps and games.

I am very excited to continue to explore the capabilities of my OPPO Find X5 Pro, as I show off its design and Ceramic White color.
