Oppo Find X5 | Unboxing & Full Tour | Camera, Gaming & Beyond

Unboxing the Oppo Find X5, a more affordable alternative to that Pro phone, boasting the same camera sensor and Marisilicon X NPU. This hands-on review shows off the camera smarts, gaming performance on Genshin Impact, ColorOS 12.1 features and other bits of the Oppo Find X5. Check out my verdict on the Pro model for more on these excellent Android smartphones.
The camera hardware and software is still among the best in 2022, beating off Apple's iPhones and most rivals for low light performance, even when shooting video. Oppo's telephoto lens may be limited vs the S22 Ultra but it's fine for getting closer to your kids, pets, etc for an unintrusive shot. Here's some photo and video samples but my Find X5 Pro review gives you a closer look at them Mad Skills.
Gamers will get respectable performance from the Oppo Find X5, good enough to play Genshin Impact on top graphics settings, albeit with some occasional judders. Battery life is solid and the ColorOS experience is still enjoyable, even if the settings menu is rather dense.
So are you tempted by this premium smartphone? Let me know in the comments below!

[@pomerau]

That low single core Geekbench score of 777 would cause a severe pain where my £750 had been in my pocket. The SD778, Exynos 1280 or Mediatek 1200 could post similar IIRC. My 2020 Poco's SD865 and the SD870 in the F3 can top 900 easily. I know, I know synthetic benchmarks etc but that would still hurt. £750 seems too much with whats around for £500. I don't see the point, but there's a big enough market to share I guess. Nice review again BTW.

I think I will go with the X3. Still good with great performance, but much cheaper.

[@emmareed241]

Been waiting for this video ever since launch day😁 have to say that from pure looks alone I much prefer the X5 to the pro. I'm not a gamer so the chip set will suit me fine. Glad to hear that the camera is (as expected) just as good as the pro even without the 5 axis stabilization. IF I was going to upgrade my X2 Neo (bought after watching your oppo reviews) then it would definitely be for the standard X5

This blog makes me thankful I chose the phone and no regrets. Perhaps £750 at one time but widely available now at £450. The launch price set to catch the earlybirds and possibly inc some so say priced-in freebees. Not so keen on the long - narrow appearance of this and other phones but there's always a compromise.

Nice video Tech Spurt. But I have just one doubt. You've made a seperate video about every single phone's UI.... Exept for one. The UI that you forgot to make a video on is OnePlus's "OxygenOS". Why haven't you made a video about "OxygenOS" yet?

[@ZeroStako]

As I was watching this review, I brought up the Color OS reviews of both the 12 and 13 versions, and as they were loading, the audio from there perfectly matched "So" and then "As Oppo". This is fate. If anyone is wondering if they should buy this phone, I'd take this one as a sign.

[@Linealo]

I´m kinda split between the Find X5 the Xiaomi 12. I´d get the S22+, mainly for its long update policy, but the EU version with the Exynos has even worse battery life than the SD8G1 version. According to some people that got it and some reviewers, it´s also quite instable in its software performance. The Find X5 is just a very steep price to ask aswell, so the Xiaomi 12 is quite a sight to behold price wise. I just don´t know if I like its battery performance, camera setup and especially crappy USB 2.0 port that the Find x5 does so well. The Dolby VIsion support on the Xiaomi is very nice though and I think I can even get plenty of use out of the IR blaster. The lack of an IP rating in either the Oppo or the Xiaomi is also just another hit to the face considering the price, making me want to get the S22+ again... But something draws me to the complete package of everything in the Find X5. Maybe I should just look at the A53 instead, save some money and deal with the lower performance?

[@Farhan_049]

I can only speak for myself, but the moment I heard Samsung is providing 4 years of Android upgrades instead of Pixel, I kind of assumed it'd suck! For me, Moto and Asus are the only brands on sight. I'm particularly interested in the Edge 30 and 30 Lite. I'd like to have OIS and stock Android, so 2 years of upgrades doesn't really matter since I'll be getting a guaranteed bug-free daily-use experience. Besides, Pixel 6A doesn't seem to have much going on for it, since it too will get a Tensor chip instead of Snapdragon 778G, so battery life there too will be absolute shit! I just hope they're priced right. If OIS isn't a priority for you, I'd suggest Edge 20 Pro. Snapdragon 870 is till date the best 5G chipset ever created by Qualcomm!

[@granallemo]

Exact same feeling here. Have you made up ur mind?

[@Stufftard]

I'm stuck between the find x5, the oneplus 10 pro and the find x5 pro. I need a new phone but I've been postponing and contemplating since weeks coz I can't make up my mind. The only thing holding me back from getting the normal x5 is the fact that it has just 8gb ram and my current phone (lenovo legion duel 2) has 16gb so it's literally half and I'm afraid it'll make a huge difference in just the feel and day-to-day normal usage.
