Build Quality/ Design​

Once glance at it, OPPO Find X5 Pro's back design looks very characteristic, you can easily recognize it from another smartphones. It is one of the most beautiful designed smartphones I have seen, its streamline design feels very natural, compare with glass, the new OPPO Find X5 Pro rear is made of ceramic material which is more gentle, warmer and reliable.

Here is my OPPO Find X5 Pro unboxing video:

Performance/Gaming​

For today’s mobile phone products, the screen display become more important. OPPO Find X5 Pro’s screen is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel, very high resolution 1440 x 3216, with this display we can have a good contrast and nice color. And up to 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, this higher refresh rate display makes moving content looks smoother, also makes a big difference when it coming to gaming. when I am playing League of Legends: Wild Rift and Brawl Stars, it can handle very well, and also you hardly to find the rear is hot it because of ceramic material that can maintain effective cooling under game pressure.

Best ColorOS Features​

OPPO Find X5 Pro has a huge range of customization options, I particularly like the Always-On Display function, Adaptive Sleep function and Air Gestures function. For example, I use Air Gestures function to switch the channel when I play TikTok, no need to touch the panel.

Camera Review​

OPPO Find X5 Pro camera system equipped with MariSilicon X chip and co-developed with Hasselblad, as a photographer I will be more expecting the camera performance. The coolest thing is to check out the flagship sensor on triple cameras, wide and ultra-wide with 50 megapixels cameras, telephoto with 13 megapixels camera, so we can have a pretty decent improvement in low light performance and significantly 4k ultra night video.

I've spent two weeks to test the OPPO Find X5 Pro camera performance mainly in 3 situations.

1. To test camera performance in difference period, such as to capture in the daytime, sunset & night.

2. To test camera performance in difference environment, such as to capture in outdoor or indoor.

3. To test camera performance in difference subject, such as landscape, nature and food.

Here are OPPO Find X5 Pro two sample videos took in Singapore,

1. 4K 2160P 60fps Merlion Park day walk:

2. 4K 2160P 60fps Marina Bay night walk:

When you open the camera, you can easily to see a Hasselblad orange shutter button and when you press the shooting button, a Hasselblad shutter sound will be heard.

SLR-Level-5-Axis Image Stabilization

This time OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a real 5-axis optical image stabilization, this new stabilization technology can occur on 5 different levels and let it reach DSLR-level. If you are using DSLR cameras, you probably know how useful and powerful the 5-axis stabilization is to taking picture or doing videography in low light environment.

It can improve stability, sharpness and color performance, to produces a perfect night photos and videos, even though at the image corners, it also can provide a good quality.

Ultra HDR Photography

Usually I will on HDR AUTO setting that phone will detect the environment and use HDR automatically, when I shoot in HDR mode, the camera takes several pictures in quick succession, each having a different exposure value. The phone inside software then merges the images into a single photo.

Compare with non-HDR photo, HDR photo provides sharper details from the darkest and brightest areas.
