The Oppo Find X5 Pro is beautiful, powerful phone that delivers an excellent display, strong performance, decent battery and charging, and a powerful camera - all wrapped in a unique design.

Big and heavy; No periscope lens; Expensive;

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.

Unique design, Fabulous display, 24-hour battery life

Performance gains are minor, Pre-installed bloatware, A bit on the pricey side

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.

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.

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is, generally, an impressive flagship phone with an attractive display, powerful processor, excellent main camera and fast charging capabilities. It even excels in some areas where flagships can be spotty, like in the battery and software departments.

Weak zoom camera, Steep price, Buggy software

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.

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.
