OPPO Find X5 Pro: Breaking the traditional smartphone mold

Brands often stick to a well-defined formula for their premium smartphones: Pack as much technology as possible into a slim smartphone body. As a result, we’ve seen countless bland, rectangular phones with protruding cameras over the past few years.

However, we’ve also seen brands like OPPO break that mold by introducing its Find X3 Series. It skipped the traditional camera bump, choosing to embrace a futuristic appearance that gently flows into the phone’s back, offering an elegant and smooth experience.

Embodying the brand proposition of “Inspiration Ahead,” OPPO has now pushed its blend of stunning aesthetic and performance even further, resulting in its latest flagship, the Find X5 Pro. It incorporates gentle curves that wrap around the camera housing, offering an even larger camera module without the sense of compartmentalization, making the Find X5 Pro’s design one-of-a-kind.

Inherited elegance

Curves have historically represented warmth, comfort, and peace. In industrial design, they serve an even higher purpose. Besides bringing a smooth shape, curves are naturally more ergonomic, making the tactile experience more comfortable.

The curve has inspired OPPO’s entire Find X series, allowing each handset to truly stand out from the competition. The OPPO Find X5 Pro has removed the camera lens and perfectly blends the lenses under the housing within 0.01mm, which means you won’t see unsightly protrusions from any angle. OPPO has invested millions in developing specialized automated equipment to achieve this technical feat.

Holding the OPPO Find X5 Pro in your hand, the camera housing feels at one with the phone rather than nailed on top. The rear panel gently flows around the lenses themselves, making the camera housing slope up without any protruding lenses that break the aesthetic.

A ceramic masterpiece

Most modern smartphones sport glass sandwich designs — two fragile panels protect all the precious internals, yet they can shatter with a single drop. For the first time, OPPO used a ceramic back cover on its Find X5 Pro, not only for superior durability over glass but also for its stunning appearance.

Each of the ceramic backs of the OPPO Find X5 Pro is built with microcrystalline material that is calcined at a temperature of 1,000-degrees Celsius and carved after 2,000 individual control points. On top of that, OPPO engineers invented a precise machining method and the never-before-used four-axis polishing machine using micron-level diamond powder to adjust every panel with the precision down to 0.005mm.

The result of all this machining is the remarkable OPPO Find X5 Pro, with its refined ceramic finish that reduces fingerprints and remains twice as strong as glass. Further, it doesn’t get too hot when the phone works on heavy tasks, such as gaming.

A flagship for everyday life

We can sit here and talk about design all day long, but a smartphone has to adapt to everyday life. OPPO Find X5 Pro packs blistering 80W SUPERVOOC flash charge, which promises up to 50% of your battery life in just 12 minutes. The 50W AirVOOC wireless charging can fill the hefty 5,000mAh dual cell in just 47 minutes, so you can keep going about your day.

OPPO Find X5 Pro also planted a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor under the hood to keep you moving. It’s more power efficient with improved performance over the previous generation and works seamlessly with the Find X5 Pros’ other internals.

The Find X5 Pro is carefully designed to fit into your life, rather than the other way around. With access to thousands of over 2,500 service centers in 62 countries, the Find X5 Pro is ready to grow along with you.
