Deciding on Find 5 - Oppo Find 5

I am looking to buy find 5 but on the oppo forums I see a ton of negative feedback ranging from connection issues to whatever. What has been your impressions as I really think this phone could be my daily driver over nexsus 4.

I wouldn't buy the Oppo Find 5 now. Custom ROMs are limited but tho, we've some really good developers like Maxwen, Anders and Aaronpoweruser, and I believe Entropy also will continue developing for the Oppo find 5 if he comes back.
Haven't really any issues with the mic or connection drops like some of the users have had. Running AOKP now!
But tho, the build quality and screen of this phone is amazing! I prefer the Find 5's screen over my HTC One's, because the Oppo Find 5 doesn't have that "blue hint" over it.
But it's up to you, you won't be disapointed if you choose the Find 5!
Cheers,
Sebastian

I really enjoy owning this phone. I take advantage of the custom roms and I feel like I own a superior nexus with the Find 5. Lovely screen. Great build. Easy rooting/modding methods. Etc

The phone is gorgeous.. after even almost a year old, it's still one of the nicest phone you can get. The stock firmware or software hasn't been the best experience. But I'll tell ya.. Being able to root and ROM without worry of voiding the warranty is super nice. I've been running CM for almost a month now, no issues here.. Camera works great, sound and audio is good.. Battery-meh, but I do fine. The design of this phone, and the display... mouth watering

The look and feel, the hardware specs - they are amazing. The camera takes very good picuters (on stock rom).
But that's it already. The ridiculous batterylife and the lack of a stable working software makes me regretting this purchase. Oppo has good intentions, but they are not able to keep their promises. I wouldn't recommmend the find 5 at the moment

When the International ColorOS comes out, the Find 5 will be a perfect phone! Since a few months the Find 5 has a Snapdragon 600. I've bought mine from oppostyle.com and mine has a Snapdragon 600.

I currently have a Xperia U and I'm currently thinking about purchasing a Oppo Find 5.
I had no idea about the state of the custom roms. And is the stock rom usable?

Example photos?

Hi Guys,
Had my Desire HD for 5 days.. thinking of selling it and buying a Nexus S!
Just wanted to see some examples of photos taken with the Camera?
I've no need for amazing photo quality but still want something reasonable to justify the hassle in switching.
Thanks in advance
I took this picture in a completely dark room: Click to see how well it turned out
Also when you check out that picture, I have a picture of a fluffy green android I took, that was in a relatively dark room. (It's the one taken after December 16th)
Thanks for the reply... link doesn't seem to be working though?

Awesome thanks ... works now i'm at home so must have been my work PC playing up.
Looks good, pretty sure i'm going to swap
* UPDATE *
I'm now a proud owner of a Nexus S .
Went into my local Carphone Warehouse and from the minute i held it i knew i would buy it!
In my opinion it's positives over the Desire HD are:
- Speaker clarity and volume is 10x better
- Handset feels like a perfect size and weight (Desire HD was very big and heavy)
- The Super AMOLED screen is amazing!
- The camera takes photos and videos that i'm more than happy with
Good luck mate, its definitely a better phone than the hd, but the hd is a better spec

Thanks.
Yea i agree the HD is a great phone but for me just not practical.
I found typing on the HD a real pain and made endless mistakes. With the Nexus S it's easy
Welcome.
I also think my NExus S is beautiful.
You know, after spending the last few days wading through trolls who came to this forums just to trash a phone they don't own, don't have any intention of buying, and never even held, it sure is refreshing to see a post from someone who acknowledges the shortcomings of this device and yet, is still satsified with it because it is, in their opinion, right for them.
Thank you for this thread, OP. Let no one else but you decide what is right for you.

This version of sense seems to be far more 'complete' and like you said... there are a lot of different launchers out there if it's not for you.
I ordered mine the day after the unveiling, just waiting for the 15th march Will be like a kid at Christmas.
Me too have pre-order Black version
AW: Well my pre order is in
Didn't preorderer yet but will get it asap as well. Just waiting for even better price drops

i only espect a clean rom with low blootware, asop in this device is not a option i think, because of zoe and ir
I want a feature rich phone and I hate AOSP UI. Yeah I'm a sense love eversince So go with HTC. Won't wait for a price drop here. This is just me showing my gratitude for them for reincarnating the nokia XpressMusic line on the latest devices.
Ok XpressMusic and HTC M7 are not totally the same but their line of designs are actually the same. More of like the casual type of phones where it looks really cool and not the typical classy look.
Oh I miss my last XpressMusic phone!!!

HTC One vs Samsung Galaxy S4

I am disappointed that there hasn't been a topic like this yet. I can understand why some people wouldn't like them but I myself enjoy reading through them and getting the opinions of the people.
So, I myself believe that the One is the better buy based on the amazing build quality, and the little pieces like Boom speakers. It screams quality!
What do you guys think?

why are the boom speakers a good thing?
what the hell do you need them for?
unless people start verbally abusing each other it can be a really good topic.
As a user who can use the phone for a day without need to charge, I'm happy with non-replaceable battery. And considering the price we are paying, I'd like my phone to look premium. And last but not least, as a personal choice I like Sense UI more than others.
So I'll be getting HTC One.
S4 biggest difference from S3, IN MY OPINION, is fullhd 1080p screen. Rest is pretty much the same for me.

Nexus 4 or xperia Z

I have a chance to trade a nexus 4 for a xperia z. I would like anyone that has had both phones to let me know what would be the better choice. I do like flashing roms at times but don't do it a lot but do take a lot of pics and videos. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks to all who reply.
That's like asking Key lime pie early or next year.

The only feature Xperia Z has is the Waterproof and Dustproof feature..
I had a handson Xperia Z its not that good. I am not being biased but to be true N4 is way better than Xperia Z.
Nexus 4 beats Xperia Z in all other cases..
Go for N4.:good:

I don't have a n4 but I recently bought my wife the xperia z. It's cool, looks nice, and water resistant. It has a pretty nice screen and a nice size. The glass on the sides kinda have that purple blue playstion color. I know they have a purple one, I guess it might be the same color as the sides. Pictures seem a little over saturated though. Definitely like the pure android though. If I had a choice I would get the n4 which I will get in a month

What are talking about you have no ethics.
It is likely that there are only a few users to have both phones,
and since the trolling has already started,
I ask that if you a response for Blueknight730 to use a PM
Also "which is best" comparison threads are not very welcome on XDA.
for futher discussions please find existing threads. There plenty to find.

So i just did something crazy

Been fighting with myself inside my head for my next phone since my old S3 is now property of my GF, so today i woke up and just ordered a GSM Dev Edition Moto X.
And i do not regret my decision knowing that the Nexus 5 may be released in 3 days.
So, what is up Moto X forum. :laugh:

Welcome!
You won't regret it. The general consensus is that this device is pretty amazing. Most people get great battery life (my average is 18hrs off charge 4-5hrs screen, mix in games voice calls etc), the ones that aren't, are suffering from standby drain (this may be due to the initial enabling of location tracking settings, discovered by Kev1000000, it's being tested). You will love active notifications, for such a seemingly simple feature... it's life changing. Always listening is also great, if you are like me and always wanted to use voice commands but was always left disappointed and frustrated, then you are in for a treat, this phone actually works extremely well, even in noisy conditions.
I also came from an sgs3, the difference is night and day, in battery, performance, comfort and how I interact with the device... I'm sure that you will not be disappointed.
Development is not quite here yet, but that's not necessarily a bad sign, this phone has been the best experience out of the box that I have ever had... Speaking as a recovering flashoholic, I am enjoying having a phone that is awesome right out of the gate. I feel that once 4.4 releases, we will see more activity, but with safestrap being released and root available, in sure things will be coming down the pipe line soon, but this phone doesn't really need it.

I agree with the above post. This is the first Android phone I have ever bought and not felt a strong urge to screw around with it immediately.
Very happy so far...

Indeed, welcome! Many moto features can be done with 3rd party apps. But they either drain battery fast, or not very smooth. Ever since I owned moto, my N4 has been so very lonely
thank you everyone.
gotta start reading the guides and terms here, coming from a Galaxy S, S2, S3 so i know all the samsung terms and stuff but now i gotta onboard myself with the Moto X apps, and modes.
as for dev, it will be here eventually, for my flashing problems i got my Nexus 7.
can't wait to get my device in here, stupid motorola and their 7 day shipping.
