If you want a phone that excels across the board then look no further than the Oppo Find X5 Pro. The ceramic design is elegant, the screen is stunning, the camera takes fantastic shots, the battery will last for days and it’ll take barely any time at all to charge.

Telephoto camera results aren't that great, Lot of unwanted apps installed by default, Relatively pricey

The Find X5 Pro is clearly an evolution of the Find X3 Pro, and one with an impressive array of top tier features. From the cameras and display, through to battery and charging speeds. It’s incredibly promising.

Stunning and durable ceramic back; Crisp display with lots of brightness and colour; Fast wired and wireless charging; Customisable software;

USB Type-A to Type-C cable is a little inconvenient; Punch-hole camera is quite prominent;

This flagship builds on the aspects that its predecessor did so well, delivering a gorgeous ceramic back design, along with great software, top-tier speed, and super battery life. The cameras could be improved yet more, but otherwise this is the ultimate underdog - and an obvious handset to consider alongside the likes of Samsung's Galaxy flagships.

Phone manufacturer OPPO has been a constant presence in New Zealand market share lists over the last few years, with IDC pointing out OPPO is on the top three here.

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is a nice-looking, slick Android phone. It has many of the high-end features you should expect, including Android’s top chip from Qualcomm, good battery life, a great screen, unusual back design and incredibly fast charging.

Pros: good screen, top performance, long battery life, very fast charging, interesting design, good main camera, water resistance, fast in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Cons: expensive, ultrawide camera is inconsistent, lack of extended optical zoom for the camera is poor, only four years of software support guaranteed, ColorOS not polished enough, design marred by ugly logos, back is too smooth and slides around on not-quite-flat surfaces.

Last week, Oppo launched its latest Android flagship – the Find X5 Pro (€1,299 / ~$1400) – and we just spent a few days using the phone in Barcelona during Mobile World Congress 2022. Before we share our first impressions, let’s provide some context.

OPPO refined what’s good with the Find X3 Pro with the Find X5 Pro, incorporating external and internal upgrades, but we’re wary of its potential price tag when it arrives in the Philippines.

Retains seamless design of the Find X3 Pro, Best in class display

Mirror gloss finish (on the black model) is a smudge magnet, Lots of bloatware, Post-processing can go overboard at times

I can see why Oppo has been quite popular internationally. This Oppo Find X5 Pro is truly an exceptional device, especially when you read about all that went into creating it. Everything from the ceramic backplate to the dedicated MariSilicone X NPU really makes you appreciate how special it is.
