The phone comes with a Super VOOC 80W charger that in my tests will charge the Find X5 Pro to 100% in around 37 minutes from empty. We also get a TPU case in grey, sim tray eject tool, premium services card, and type-A to type-c USB cable.
The finish of the Find X5 Pro is superb, the ceramic back especially the form of the camera module looks fantastic to me one of the best camera modules of recent Android flagships.
The QHD+ LTPO2 screen is super bright over 1000 nits measured, it holds up well in direct sunlight and is very legible.
A quick test of a very demanding console & PC port Genshin Impact shows the SD8Gen1 performs well, but a dip in performance was quite noticeable after gaming for extended periods. The surface thermals remained under 43 degrees as the phone was throttled to keep the temperatures in check.
ColorOS 12.1 runs is fluid with no noticeable animation lags unlike some other Android 12 phones tested like the S22 Ultra (Exynos) or Xiaomi 12 Pro.
Initial first impressions:
Pros:
Very good build and finish with a sleek looking camera module
Great low light camera performance thanks to the Marisilicion NPU and colour profile from Hasselblad
Stunning QHD+ screen and accurate fingerprint reader
Fast stable UI with no noticeable animation lag
One of the best ultrawide cameras tested
Cons:
Video audio is quite poor, OPPO needs to address this. Low bitrate of 96kbps
It's expensive at around 1300 euros here in Spain
Shutter lag in some scenarios means moving objects will be blurred

A Pro Grade Camera Setup:
Oppo X5 Pro features a Triple Camera setup on its back, a 50 MP Wide angle lens with f/1.7 aperture, a 50 MP Ultra-wide lens and also a 13 MP Telephoto lens. The 50 MP Wide angle lens also acts as a main shooter for taking amazing pictures.
The setup is also equipped with an impressive set of features like Hassleblad color calibration, 5-axis OIS and a dedicated NPU chip called MariSillicon X. Therefore, the hashtag (#Bringthelight) is quite apt for the device because it has certainly got what it takes to #Savethenight.
The Yin-Yang Color Schemes
There's a reason why white and black are considered the classics. When it comes to the looks, white and black won't go wrong any time. OPPO X5 Pro comes with these two impressive color schemes Ceramic Black and White. They look like Yin and Yang. The two complementary principles of Chinese philosophy. Both of these colors compliments each other and also compliments the looks and feel of the device.
Features Not One but Two Power Houses
Having a flagship processor seems like old school to me after seeing this phone. This phone has got not one but two flagship grade chipset units powering it. Oppo has recently unveiled Find X50 Pro, the next-gen smartphone range in their X-Series lineup. The model was equipped with the highest possible hardware specs right now. It has got the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset with the most powerful Adreno 730 GPU working under its good. Apart from carrying the most powerful CPU and GPU combos, this smartphones also got a new and improved NPU working under their hood. Oppo is calling it as MariSillicon X. To know more about it. You can check out this post.
So finally, I received my Oppo Find X5. I am one of the 4 Indian Oppo Ambassadors. I received the Black version Find X5.
Here is the tl;dr unboxing pic.

Spoiler: MariSilicon
Spoiler: MariPins
Here are my initial impressions.
Box:- I love that Oppo has not skimped on anything. We get a fast charger, pre-applied screen protector, silicone case & USB dongle in the box.
Design:- Phone is excellent to touch. The glass back has a velvety matte texture, and it's grippy. It's a bit heavy, but you get used to it. No IP rating but SIM tray has a rubber gasket for water protection.
Screen:- Screen is bright AMOLED curved with 120 Hz Refresh rate. No adaptive refresh rate. The fingerprint sensor is located around 25% from the bottom and detects my FP quickly.
Camera:- I will post the pictures in my in-depth review. The Ultrawide & Night shots are magnificent.
Battery:- The 80W VOOC charger charges the phone quickly (30-40 minutes). The battery drain is alright. At 30% phone enables some battery-saving features.
Software:- It runs on ColorOS 12 based on Android 12. Currently, it's running Linux 5.4.86. It has the Feb Security update, which is a bummer.
Media: The phone has stereo speakers and videos(Youtube/Amazon Prime) are fun to watch on the phone
That's about it. Stay tuned for the in depth review.
Wow that looks so cool. Congratulations on getting the title and device.
Loving the carpet. When are we getting an in-depth review on that?

It's soft material and cool looking. You can buy in the shop across my street.
Kindly see post #2 for the review. There was a bug when uploading causing the duplicate post.
Dear readers, I'm gonna keep this review as short and as straightforward to the point as possible.

Introduction:
What is the Find X5 Pro? Basically it's OPPO's flagship camera smartphone that is capable of taking some amazing shots.
Design:
The OPPO Find X5 Pro in ceramic white looks and feels premium. It is not heavy at all, and the one-piece back panel does look pretty unique in the sea of mobile phones today.
I personally prefer the white over the black in this case.
Display:
The OPPO Find X5 Pro has a 1440P AMOLED panel that refreshes at 120Hz. The key takeout here is that this display is one of the sharpest in the market today (525ppi), is able to automatically change it's refresh rate to save on power, and gets bright enough outdoors (1300nits) for good visibility. It's also super punchy and is one of the best display's you can get today.
Cameras:
This is the most important part of the OPPO Find X5 Pro.
50MP main camera - images taken from the main camera comes with a slightly colder tone, to which I personally prefer. Pictures taken during day and night come with excellent detail, as will be shared below.
50MP ultrawide - this is one of the best ultrawides in the market in my opinion. U/wide shots come with a ton of detail at 50MP, and the best part is you don't really see any image distortion.
Hasselblad colors - OPPO is promising more true-to-life pictures with the Hasselblad tuned images. I find that quite true as you can see from my sample shots.
Processing Power:
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is Qualcomm's most powerful/efficient processor to date. With this, you can expect performance to be top-of-the-line with no lags/delays/stutters in any instance.
Gaming works great too with minimal heating.
Battery Life:
Battery life is sufficient for a full day's use on a single charge, but the charging speeds is on another level.
The 80W charger can charge the Find X5 Pro in crazy speeds so you don't have to worry about not charging at night.
Overall:
If you're looking for one of the best camera smartphones in the market TODAY, this is definitely something you should consider!
Photo Gallery:
Here's a quick video taken with the OPPO Find X5 Pro in a very dark environment.
Location: Sesame Street Ride @ Universal Studios Singapore
Some very nice shots! But those spam fries look horrendous
In-depth reviews and nice shots!!
