Hi everyone,i am in the market for a new phone.
I have been following general reviews of Htc one and Samsung galaxy s4, but in the end i always liked the htc one for its build quality, expecially considering that i owned the Google htc nexus one, that recently broke down.
The problem with the Htc one is the cost. I personally think spending more than 400 euros on a phone is foolish,and both the Htc one and Samsung s4 cost 699 euro, just way too much.I would fear carrying it around, and dropping it, or even scratching in anyway.
and thus i am looking at the Oppo find 5 and its general build quality, great screen,quite powerful, rom support and everything.
And in the other hand, i am also looking at the Huawei Ascend P6 (pictured), which has:
Quadcore 1,5 Ghz
2 gb ram
720 x 1280 pixels (321 ppi)
8 mpx back camera which records 1920x1080 (1080p HD) + 5 mpx frontal
removeable microsd card, and supports microhdsc
Fast mobile data support (4G)
4.7 inches display, (120 g)
2000 mAh battery
for 399 euros.
Considering this, i would like some suggestions or advice on why is the Oppo find 5 better or worse than the other contenders, and what did you like the most about your Find 5, how do you use it.
I am also interested...

I am also interested in this...
In particular, I hear a lot talking about the bad quality of the camera on the Oppo Find 5. The camera is for me very important. Do you guys think it will really improve with the updates? Is it true that at the moment the quality is very bad in low light conditions and that the camera app does not have a lot of functionalities?
Another issue would be software optimisation... I read on this forum some people are complaining about heavy lags. I think this is pretty annoying for a 400 euros device...
Many thanks for your time.

camera suggestion
Well, for the camera, I think Oppo is working to fix that, but in the meantime you can use an app called ProCapture, which takes very high quality, uncompressed pictures. In the official oppo forums, you can see comparisons And I was in the same boat as you, doing research, and comparing prices, on used versions of the phones on Swappa. I was very much leaning towards HTC One myself. But In the end I took a chance to go with an Oppo F5. It arrives wednesday, comes with all accessories, and 3 cases. And I still have money to buy a few extra stuff for it Good luck with your choice!
Hi I recently got a white Oppo Find 5 and I will try to answer your question. I root all my phones and run AOKP or CM10 cause i think I am cool.
In the past year I have gone from:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (unlocked) >
Nexus 4 >
Note II >
Fonepad >
Note II >
Oppo Find 5
Of these the nexus 4 has the best design, but not easy to use. It always slid off my lap, crappy data, other probs
The galaxy nexus had the best software, it ran ICS like a ****ing champ, no lag, no crashes, butter.
The Note II was the best daily driver, a good balance of battery life, software, build quality.
However the Oppo feels the best in my hand. The screen is the best I have seen on a phone. When I show it to people, it gets the reaction the first galaxy got. "That is a bright screen". In broad daylight, with polarized sunglasses on, I have no trouble seeing the screen. BEST ****ING PHONE FOR SUMMER 2013 FOR THIS REASON. That and everyone thinks its a sony lol. The battery life sort of sucks, my unofficial taste-test says it is about the same as the Nexus 4.
If you need battery life or you want something a little more "Mainstream", get a note II or the HTC one x+, both have some recent hardware and can be found for $350 USD used.
Good luck!

The battery life varies, I have been using the original firmware for about 3 days now after trying out CM 10.1 which has a better battery life BUT it loses signal and the camera is only using 5 megapixels. They(CM) is working on all this and trust me...they will have a bad ass rom once they are through.
I am honestly waiting on the final release of Firefly to be released and then i will really decide on whether or not to keep this phone. I love the built quality and it has a lot of potential, BUT potential doesn't make you a winner. I have patience though, and will wait.
If not I am either going back to the Nexus 4, or getting an Xperia Z.
I hope this thread will severe as a comprehensive listing of reviews.

PS Looking forward to the reviews!
It gets my attention. I think they did right thing with xiaomi this time.
Really hope that some good reviews will come out soon. Especially comparing it with the Meizu M2 note, i know the soc is not comparable but for me battery life and screen quality are more important. For now it is very hard to find reviews, especially since all the chinese resellers and fansites abuse the word by saying review for a spec listing or spec comparing article/video. We really should invent a new keyword for a true full review with all benchmarks and measurements included. I have found a decent hands on video in chinese sadly youtube captions are not very up to the specialist smartphone talk so are more miss than hit.
Really like the phone so far. But its not in me to buy tech without a good review.
Ah cant link as this is my first post here.

I am honored to be selected as an OPPO Product Ambassador!
Now OPPO Find X5 Pro is coming to my home, and I'll review hardware, software, game performance, and camera performance.
I also purchased a 50W AirVOOC charger and cooling case at my own expense, and I would like to introduce the usability of those accessories.
Feel free to let me know if there is anything you would like me to try.

Hi all! My name is Francesco, the only OPPO Ambassador from Italy
As an ambassador I cannot wait to put my hands on OPPOFind X5.
What do i expect? Well, certainly a confirmation of the excellent work already done by OPPO in the last years from a software and hardware point of view such as the 80w Wooc Super fast charge, I think it can be the solution to the "battery anxiety" with which we often live.
I'm also looking forward to test the new Marisilicon's NPU optimizations related to night photos and videos and the collaboration with Hasselblad on color balance. Well ... I can't wait for it to arrive.
Il will share tests, comparison with S22 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro, and a lot of photos!
Are you ready to join my tests?
Finally I can share my unboxing ophotos and first impressions! Just a spoiler: With Oppo Find X5 you don't need to buy accessories or charger, EVERYTING IS IN THE BOX!
UNBOXING
FIRST IMPRESSIONSAs stated before, after you buy the phone you don't need to buy accessories! The box contains everything: 80W SuperVOOC charger, USB A to C Cable, a Type A-C dongle, a TPU Cover (very minimal and flexible) and the phone comes with a preapplied screen protector!
Simply unbox it and you are ready to go! I really love this!
The phone feels super premium in the hand with aluminium rounded edges, clicky buttons and a silky smooth matte frosted glass on the back. I really like the way the glass curves towards the shiny camera bump and also that this matte finish doesn’t pick up fingerprints at all! On the front the shiny 6,5" 120HZ OLED Display (not LPTO and with no variable refrash rate) with 1000 nits peak brightness.
Coming form 2 super phablets of 6,7 and 6,8 inches and over 200g (Pixel 6 pro and Galaxy S22 Ultra) I feel very comfortable with the size and weight of Oppo Find X5: 6,5" and 196g.
As many of you already know: Oppo Find X5 is rocked by a Snapdragon 888, the Qualcomm's flagship SOC of 2021 paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS storage, it shares both the Sony IMX677 camera sensors with the Pro version but it lacks 5-axes stabilization (it has the classic 2-axis OIS) and uses different lenses. By the way the most important camera innovation is here: the MariSilicon X NPU that should improve camera performance especially for night shots and video.
Cannot wait to deeply test this!
Now i need to configure it and test this amazing piece of tech, please stay tuned and follow this thread to know everything about performance, photos, videos, battery life and optimizations of the latest ColorOS.
Following!

Another game, this time the challenge is against a big big phone! Which Ultrawide Photo is from Oppo Find X5?
Jings, Oppo "ambassadors"...their reviews are going to be really unbiased. Personally, I think Oppo Ambassadors enjoy getting their freebie devices to play with and have no intention of saying anything that might spoil their future gravy train supply of phones.
Clearly, they have to review the latest versions of ColourOS, hence why there was such a proliferation of the usual YT suspects bringing out very positive reviews of it after launch. Odd how none of them mentioned Oppo removing the ability to disable the Google Home Screen feed....
This phone has had astonishingly positive reviews all over YT, all from "ambassadors".....it's good, don't get me wrong but just be wary when watching reviews.

Ciao,
you can be sure my review will be honest since I'm really critics with android customizations, and after 10 days I already submitted my doubts to OPPO team.

I have to say I prefer the S22U here. Sky on the oppo one looks a bit blown out and over exposed.
Hi everyone, I'm also one of the lucky people to be selected to be an OPPO Product Ambassador. I would like to thank OPPO and XDA for this fantastic opportunity.
As you can see I am a long time member on these forums and have owned a fair share of Android phones including OPPO phones in the past, namely the Find X2 Pro.
I'm really excited to test the OPPO Find X5 / Pro, it's packing top of the line specs, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU as well as their super fast VOOC Charging.
My plans are to to coverage on the following:
Unboxing
Camera tests
Charging test
Games test
Review
I might do other additional videos. If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to post it here
#OPPOAmbassadors #OPPOFindX5Series
Do you get direct feedback to oppo as part of being an ambassador?
Looking forward to your feedback, mine is on order and I will also feedback on multiple forums.
Looking at the comparative video between oppo find x5 pro and the Samsung s22 ultra, the camera captures more detail on the Samsung and I hope oppo release a software update with further camera improvements.
