The Find X5 Pro is the new flagship from Oppo, and it's available in late February.
The Find X5 Pro was launched ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which officially starts on Feb. 28, and might confuse some readers. Number four is considered unlucky in China, so the Chinese company went straight to Find X5 this year.
The Oppo Find X5 Pro is a better version of the model that was released last year. It also has a 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and two camera sensors on the back. The new Find X5 Pro is a strong competitor for the most powerful phone around because of the many changes inside and outside.

The Find X5 Pro has a new 6-nanometer MariSilicon X neural processing unit, which Oppo says helps out with low light photos and video. There are two Sony IMX766 sensors in the rear camera system, one for wide-angle photography and the other for ultra-wide photos. There is a 13-megapixel zoom camera for zooming in, as well as a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the front of the device.
I received a Find X5 Pro unit from Oppo and I found the cameras to be great, with sharp details and accurate colors in good light, and decent low-light and HDR photography.

The camera is fast. It only took 0.2 seconds to capture the low-lit photo below, and it did a slightly better job than my phone, but the photo could be a little sharper.

If you switch the camera to Pro mode, you will get access to the Natural Color Calibration from Hasselblad. You can get a couple of Master filters, but they are only available in the camera&s default Photo, Video and Portrait modes. The camera interface offers a lot of settings, but not all of them are easy to find.

The phone sometimes struggled with sharpness, but the selfie camera can produce a lot of details.

The design of the phone stands out in the sea of similar-looking phones, so a few words should be said about it. The phone's ceramic back looks great, especially in white, even though I don&t like the curved edges of the display. The huge camera bump looks good as it rises and falls from the back. The phone is heavy at 218 grams, but it feels really solid and compact in the hand, like a true flagship should.
This phone has a fast battery charging tech that is incorporated into it. The Find X5 Pro has a 5,000mAh battery that can charge from zero to 50 percent in 12 minutes. It has reverse wireless charging as well as 30W wireless charging.
The Find X5 Pro comes with a lot of storage. There is a fingerprint sensor built into the display, as well as stereo speakers, 5G, and dust and water resistance.
