How does this phone work now? Have you solved the battery problems?
It's on sale now for 400€ and I wanted to know if it's a good buying option?
Than you

As a workaraound i turned on the super energy saving mode, and the heating and battery draining stopped. It helps to reduce anger.
I hope the next update will fix the problem.

That's why I got a Oppo Find X5 as it was really cheap when I got it, I'm currently still using it as my main phone. Despite the bad battery life and some overheating problems, this phone is excellent. Dropped it several times and there's not even a single scratch on the display or the frame. But yeah, the battery charges in just 30 min to full, this makes up for the bad battery life. Overall, it's a good phone with two major issues, but still, it's great.

I get around 6h SoT with the lightest usage ever, a tiny bit shopping on Amazon, took 4 pictures (phone gets hot automatically), a lot of WhatsApp (texting only - when the keyboard is showing on the screen, it drops down the refresh rate to 60Hz so keep that in mind), some YouTube (25-30 min background playback only).
Did you delete or disable any system apps? I disabled some of them, because I never need them and they're usually drain the battery a lot. (Like Quick-Device-Connect..)
It's a great device which gets bad thanks to the SD 888. Hate it.

I don't know what's everyone talking about, for me it gets some heat with camera and so, yeah, but here it is like 30 degrees celsius so it is expected.
Battery wise and smoothness are perfect, no lag, no stutter, even better than my Pixel 6 Pro, battery life is amazing too, averaging 6-8h all days, phone lasts day and half easy and charges in 40 mins. I factory resetted after color os 13.1 as it was my first time with the phone (second hand), simply flawless.

Clearly Oppo is doing some shady stuff with software updates.

Now I'll be stack with old OS in fear of planned obsolescence. Custom ROMs are better now Oppo/OnePlus locks everything. My next phone will be a Google Pixel inorder to be able to install a custom ROMs like Graphene OS or Evolution X to avoid planned obsolescence when an OEM try to break the phone deliberately with software updates it's a shame really.

Using the device with mobile data literally drains the battery flat in 3-4h, which is ridiculous. And of course, it heats up as well. Never upgrade your device to ColorOS 13.1. It's filled with bugs alongside broken thermal management.

It sometimes lasts around 8h (SoT), sometimes I'm only getting 3-4h. Well, at the time of release of this device, the SD 888 was 1 year old so I thought that they'd have optimized the SoC to work efficiently, but sadly, it was not the case.
The phone never heated up like 2 months ago (using it since Feb 2023), but now it's getting too hot, sometimes even with basic usage. Not a good experience, it's my first Oppo and it'll probably be the last one.
