This is the oppo find X5.
It's a decent phone.
It has everything you would expect in a flagship.
It runs great, takes great pictures, but
there are really only three reasons why I think you should buy this.
Sorry,
one you want to find that comes with accessories.
Upon opening the oppo find x fives thick packaging.
You are traded to not only an 80 watt charger and a compatible USB C cable,
but also a totally decent silicon case.
Ever since I broke in s 22, I've been purchasing cases
for all my review funds, so I was delighted to find this in here.
It's pretty basic, but it does a pretty decent job of protecting the body.
And it also has a little of high watermark on the bottom here.
Cute.
It also comes with the pre-installed screen protector.
I've been using this pretty much every day for well over a month now.
And the plastic has only just started to peel off,
and that's only because I was starting to pick it out.
When I realized what it was, I just couldn't help myself.
If you do look after it,
you could probably expect it to last the entire lifespan of your device.
Not me, though.
I'm going to peel it off right now. You ready?
I only get one take of this
Now, of course, the
tradeoff here is the environmental impact of all that extra waste.
Most of the big brands are moving away from including anything in their boxes.
But with this particular phone,
you're going to be happy they gave you this charger.
That leads me to number two.
You want a phone that never dies on you?
It is truly wild how fast this phone charges
when it's paired with this charger.
It uses Appose super technology,
which can take it from 0% to 100 in just over 30 minutes.
That's Fox.
On top of that, I film the open find x five to last.
Well, into two days, even without a charger.
5G is usually the culprit, so batteries suck these days.
But even when I was staying in the Sydney CBD,
which is absolutely riddled with 5G, I found this reliably kept going
right charger plus great battery life equals a very happy Toby.
Huh? Using this actually changed how I view smartphones and how I use them.
I barely checked the battery on this.
I just don't feel like I need to
because I know I can charge up to full in no time at all.
Yeah, I love it.
All phones need to be like this as our Lord and Savior Jesus once philosophize.
No one man should have all that power and unfortunately,
it applies to super technology as well.
There are a few minor drawbacks.
One, it's limited to certain devices from the baby.
Electronic family.
Super.
It requires the phone to has a dual battery set up.
And of course, most manufacturers just don't do that.
So if you try charging any other brand with this charger
and cable, it's actually going to do it pretty slowly.
Number two, it's actually the same the other way around.
These phones on is compatible with other USB powered fast charges.
They do work, but you'll certainly be waiting over an hour for a full charge
on a Non-supervisory brick.
Number three, you also need to make sure that the cable is
the one that came in the box, or at least built to the exact same standard.
This is because Super also requires the cables to carry all that extra current.
Fast charging is so confusing at the moment.
I figure if you do buy this phone, treat the power brick and the cable
kind of like a proprietary charges similar to the iPhone and its lightning cable.
I would carry that around, but I would also
just have a separate USB charger as well for all your other stuff.
Regardless if battery is a priority for you,
then this and the rest of the x five lineup are very good options.
Same goes for if you want a kind of unique camera experience
OK, this is definitely the most subjective point on this list,
but I would say the cameras on the x five and the x five pro, which I have here,
definitely the most interesting and fun cameras I've used on phones for a while,
and that is mostly due to the fact that they're collaborating with Hustle Blood.
I just love the photos out of these covers absolutely.
Pop and appear vivid,
but not to the point of oversaturation, and it absolutely nails skin tones.
Everything also has this soft natural edge to it.
Which is really pleasing to look at.
You can accentuate the softness even further in backgrounds
with portrait mode, and that seems to work especially well on non-human subjects.
Funnily enough, overall it just doesn't really have any of that
ugly sharpening or noise you find on some other Android brands.
But Mode also doesn't impressively good job at reducing noise or blur
and the cameras also do an absolutely better job in macro.
Look at these butterfly photos. Stunning.
The menus are pretty standard and straightforward for Android
but it does give you enough control if you want to try
taking some high quality shots.
You can take raw photos in the pro mode and if you're a video making type,
you can shoot.
Log on here in movie mode, but that is restricted to 4K 30 apps.
Despite looking
as good as the photos, it honestly feels like video wasn't a huge priority.
On this phone.
It does have one very niche and very unique option on here
that I want to talk about
because Hustle Butter involved, they've included this expand mode
which replicates hassle, bloods, wide format, expand SLR from the late nineties.
Really, all it does is cropping the image from the main camera
and gives you the option to take photos in black and white.
But I kind of dig it.
It's one of those fun novel editions that get you involved in photography
a little bit more.
You know, it just restricts you to this really unique wide
perspective with no control beyond where you physically take the photo from.
It's also pretty cool that it flashes a negative as you take the photo.
Very nerdy, very nice.
But, you know, it's a fun little cherry on top of a pretty gorgeous little camera.
Unfortunately, this camera system is really let down
by the 13 megapixel two times telephoto zoom, this little one here.
The images are not very pleasing to look at compared to the other two lenses
and a two time zoom just doesn't really get you that much closer to things.
Frankly, just zooming in to photos taken
with the 50 megapixel main camera can look just as good.
You can also zoom up to 20 times with that lens.
But I'm not really in the business of Impressionist art either.
So yeah, so long as you can deal with the subpar telephoto lens here,
it's a pretty compelling little camera to carry around in your pocket.
It definitely feels more unique than a lot of the other stuff I've tried lately.
OK, so why shouldn't you buy it as the middle child in the five range,
the iPhone five is kind of outclassed by the pro in a bunch of little ways.
And if you're on a budget or don't care about the cameras
all that much, it's rivaled by the light version as well.
Also, for a similar price, you can buy a Samsung's s 20 twos or the pixel six pro.
Both of those are water resistant.
They have similar processing power and have more useful telephoto lenses.
Yeah, you heard that right. This isn't waterproof.
That's a huge deal breaker for me, especially in this price range.
Also, if you're super keen on oppose, it seems like you could even go into last
year's X3 Pro,
which has a very similar camera setup and that one's actually waterproof.
So with the OP, I find S5 being in a bit of a
no man's land of good but not good enough for its price range.
It's a really tough phone to recommend.
Sorry again. Not all hope is lost.
If you're still searching for a good Android phone to buy,
this is probably my favorite Android phone of the year so far.
Go check that video out.
Maybe it'll help you find what?
Oh, that's the name of the phone.
Maybe it'll help you find something good because
this can stay lost,
as far as I'm concerned.
What you lack
that is sick sucks Oh,
holy shit.
Smells like apricots.
That is fucking weird.
Three
I'm probably half in Glee right now.
Well, yeah.
Jesus.
What is with that
Well,
he likes not sick fucks.
And I've had to adapt back
now that I'm using this stupidly slow charging.
I find 13 now in grade.
I basically rather than putting this on charge overnight,
I would just wait until the morning and charge it while I was getting ready.
10 minutes, tops.
I know that was enough time to get it charged enough and then be on my way.
