The Find X5 Pro flagship from Oppo is now available for purchase.

Oppo has formally launched the Discover X5 Professional, their prime telephone for 2022, following quite a few rumors and teases. It’s a considerably iterative follow-up to final yr’s Discover X3 Professional, however that telephone was improbable, and after spending greater than per week with a not-yet-final prototype of its alternative, I count on the identical.
The Discover X5 Professional’s design is impressed by the X3 Professional’s curved unibody design. The again panel is ceramic this time round, which, paired with the summary form of the digicam bump, provides the white unit I’ve been testing a futuristic, Star Wars stormtrooper-like really feel. It’s a novel merchandise with glorious construct high quality, and it seems significantly better in particular person than I anticipated.
The Discover X3 Professional’s odd digicam hump has a bit much less occurring. Oppo has ditched the ring light-equipped microscope digicam in favor of the identical 50-megapixel IMX766 sensors in each major and ultrawide cameras, in addition to a 13-megapixel telephoto lens. Though the microscope digicam wasn’t mandatory, it’s irritating that it wasn’t changed with one thing extra useful, such because the periscope telephoto digicam that Oppo pioneered.
Whereas the first 50-megapixel digicam sensor stays the identical, the lens in entrance of it has been upgraded to f/1.7, and Oppo claims that it now employs extra glass than the earlier all-plastic optics. As well as, the lens now affords five-axis stabilization. Oppo is touting each the Hasselblad alliance and its personal MariSilicon X picture NPU, which supplies important enhancements for low-light HDR video recording, with a devoted “4K Extremely Evening Video” choice. I’ll wait until I’ve a launched model of the software program earlier than passing judgment on the outcomes, as Oppo says the subsequent replace will give attention to on-camera efficiency.
The remainder of the specs are what you’d count on from a flagship this yr. A 6.7-inch 1440p 120Hz OLED show, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, 5,000mAh battery, 80W quick charging, 50W wi-fi charging, IP68 water and dirt safety, 256GB of storage, and 12GB of RAM are among the many options. The Discover X5 will even be out there in a non-Professional variant with a Snapdragon 888 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a smaller 6.5-inch 1080p OLED display screen.
The Discover X5 Professional’s value and launch date will fluctuate by space. As soon as the firmware has been completed, we’ll have extra protection on this gadget.
