[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] ermacwins:
Welcome to part 2 of my review

Part 1

Features

When it comes to features, there are just so many to list and many of them are useful such as

Multi-Screen Connect: As OPPO puts it, you can quickly transfer files between your PC and phone. Edit documents saved on your phone from your PC. Receive phone notifications on your PC. This is definitely handy as now I don’t need to look at my phone when I’m working, whenever I receive notifications on my phone, I can interact it from my PC.

Gestures: There are a plethora of gestures and motions you can use to make day to day usage very easy: Swipe down with 3 fingers to take a screenshot, air gestures, if your hand is not clean or its wet, you can do wave your hand to answer a call or scroll through YouTube. Continuing with gestures, you can assig some gestures whilst the screen is turned off i.e. draw the letter v to turn the torch light on which is very inconvenient instead of having to unlock the phone, swipe the notification shade and then enabling the torch. You can also set it up so it opens an app of your choice.

Camera

It seems OPPO is really focused on the camera this time round, so much so that now the Find X series has a 6nm Imaging NPU called MariSilicon X. OPPO says that it features the best-in-class power efficiency, 20 bit ultra-high dynamic range, real-time RAW processing, and Enhanced RGBW Pro Mode. It will enable high-quality 4K AI Night Video and live preview on Android smartphones for the first time. To take things further, OPPO has partnered up with Hasselblad to refine the camera prowess.

The triple camera set-up consists of 50MP main and ultra-wide lenses (Sony IMX 766), 13MP 2x zoom telephoto lens, and a 32MP selfie camera. The cameras have 5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization SLR-level technology which helps with taking photos and videos whilst you’re on the move.

I have taken lots of photos and they all turned out excellent, you can see lots of details. Portrait photos are also really, good probably the best I have seen yet. Night photography is also impressive as well as the 4k Ultra Night Video.

Battery Life

The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a MASSIVE 5000mAh battery that is higher than that of the Xiaomi 12 Pro Galaxy S22. I have found the battery life to last me easily over 1 day and with Super power saving mode, that can be extended to 2 days! As for the charging speed, it charged from being fully drained to 100% in just 36 minutes. This mainly thanks to the 80w SuperVooc charger that is included in the box. I don’t have the wireless charger which is dubbed as AirVooC, but its charges at 50w, that’s better than the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s wired 45w charger.

Conclusion

Overall I have to say this phone impressed me a lot, I mean why wouldn’t it? It has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, excellent main camera, massive 5000mAh battery with really fast charging. It has a beautiful 6.7” QHD+ AMOLED display which is a joy for media consumption. ColorOS12 has come really far, it doesn’t feel really heavy at all, no noticeable lag and everything is just so though out. The cameras are excellent, just point and click and you get great photos.

Having said all of that, It is slighty on the pricey side but I think this a great alternative to the Galaxy S22 series.
