Oppo Find X5 review

11 April 2022


Sort by:

2 things I wish this phone had:

1. Replaced the Samsung fab SD888 with TSMC fab SD 8+ Gen 1
2. Had an IP68 dust & waterproof rating

Then it could have reached it's maximum potential, still good though. Can't wait for the rumoured TSMC SD 8+ Gen 1 version of this phone before buying this SD888 one 👊👍

    Just got one of these on contract from EE, very happy with it so far.
    Feels a lot like my old P30 Pro in the hand and the official flip case is pretty similar to Huawei's too.
    Doesn't hurt it was a good deal either, I like it.
    A Great alternative to Samsung, whose phones I personally can't stand.

      I've just traded my pixel 6 pro for the X5 (with the matte black back). So glad I did, got it for basically (£30 after trade in) and such a more enjoyable device to use and hold. Honestly camera is a bit better on the pixel overall but that's the only area it's better. The matte black, wow it's a good looking phone. Would 100% recommend

        I own the oppo find x5 and the x5 pro.
        After last year's X3 pro .I find both of these fantastic refreshingly great feeling phones. The x5 although lacking in some areas could quite easily be a flagship. In a vacuum it's 100% top tier. However side by side with the pro , the x5 feels slightly Infirior .

            Thank you, gsmarena. Pls do x5pro as well.

              I wonder who suggested the name MariSilicon X ISP and if they speak Spanish 😂

I use the X2 pro and updated to android12/ColorOS12 in February, no waiting til Dec 2022 and guess what no bugs so far, but then ColorOS 11 wasn't buggy either. X2 pro was and is a beast of a phone. You should try before you hate otherwise you just make yourself out to be ignorant

                  Example Fixd X2

                  -Released March 2020 with Android 10 color os 7
                  -Upgraded to a bugy Android 11 color os 11 in December 2021
                  -Will receive last software support Android 12 color os 12 if lucky in December 2022 last software update. End of honeymoon & can NEVER rollback that last bugy update. Kinda neat Opoo...

                    I'll NEVER buy an Oppo phone. Less than 2 years of software support & it 1 or 2 buggy late Android OS updates which you can NEVER rollback yeah obviously. This seems like it's their business model. Planned obsolescence imo. Example Find X2 & Find X3 meaning this too will face the same fate 😕

                            Anonymous, 12 Apr 202213 Pro = 98,9s/mAh X5 = 81s/mAh That isn't what battery life means. Battery life is how long the phone can stay on for on a single charge not how power efficient the phone is (not that it matters with the tiny batteries Apple puts into their phones). The iPhone 13 Pro has worse battery life.

                                sweggitity, 12 Apr 2022Oppo/OnePlus tactics is simple, it's heavy marketing, ... moreOppo caters mostly to female buyers, with most marketing ads emphasising beautified selfie and 'insta-worthy' rear camera. Female buyers care less about specs and more about external aesthetic, as evidenced by Oppo and Vivo focus of 'shiny effect' finish. I need to add that Oppo also spend a lot on "paid reviewers" to promote their products.
