OPPO Find X5 256 GB Dual-Sim Black Comme neuf

The Oppo Find X5 is a 5G Android smartphone with a lot going for it, including a bright 120Hz display, fast performance and even faster charging. But its crowning glory is the camera system which can take some truly excellent shots. There are a couple of minor downsides but nothing can take away from the fact that this is a fantastic piece of kit.

Cheaper than the Pro, the Oppo Find X5 positions itself as a potent Samsung Galaxy S22 rival

While it lacks the prowess of the pricey Find X5 Pro, key spec improvements complement smart design choices and make the Find X5 the best alternative to the latest and greatest from Apple and Samsung.

Overall, if you prefer to stick with an Android-based platform and have a high degree of interest in a phone’s photographic capabilities, then this is certainly worth considering. While a little higher priced than its competitors, there’s something about this device that will appeal, and the software is definitely more focused on digital creatives. ColorOS 12 has so many aesthetic customisation capabilities that you will have no trouble quickly making this phone your own. Setting theme colours automatically based on your chosen wallpaper, reshaping icons, changing placements and layouts, setting audio themes to match your style, and so much more. It still suffers a little from pre-installed bloatware, but most of it can be uninstalled completely, while the rest can easily be hidden from sight. While there are undoubtedly reasons to jump up to the Pro model, this is definitely not a “compromise” design.

With its speedy performance, great display, software, cameras and battery life, the Find X5 does all the important things well. Yes, it could do better at nighttime photography, and some won't like that it has last year's processor, but it's a very solid all-rounder.
