4K Ultra Night Video and Captivating Photography

Night video presents a major challenge for smartphones, but the Find X5 Pro and Find X5 feature a dedicated imaging NPU, MariSilicon X, to help capture images and video in dark settings.

Based on a 6nm process crafted for imaging performance, the MariSilicon X not only packs the most powerful AI computing power available today, but it also runs an advanced AI noise reduction (AINR) algorithm designed by the Oppo Research Institute. This means it can detect and reduce noise in each frame, pixel by pixel, while preserving finer detail, skin tone, and colour accuracy.

The result is a four times improvement in perceived night video resolution, less grain and superior colour reproduction, making 4K Ultra Night Video possible for the first time on an Android smartphone, with each frame as clean as a still photo.

Of course, Oppo’s MariSilicon X is just one key element of Find X5 Pro’s advanced imaging system. The wide and ultra-wide angle cameras both feature Sony’s advanced 50MP IMX766 flagship sensors, with a sensor size of 1/1.56”, 2um large pixel size after binning. The big difference on the Pro model (versus the base model), is that the main sensor offers a f/1.7 aperture and a five-axis optical stabilisation.

The wide-angle camera also features a first-of-its-kind Five-axis OIS system, which when combined with proprietary algorithms, improves with every use to counter handshake, reduce noise and sharpen scenes.

Oppo Find X5 Pro also features Hasselblad Natural Colour Calibration in Pro Mode and a range of creative Master filters, bringing iconic natural colour, professional colour profile and style to mobile photography.

Premium Look and Feel

The features Find X5 Pro features an ultra-hard, true ceramic back that’s available in Ceramic White and Glaze Black, which is two times stronger than any conventional glass panel, and double as effective for heat dissipation. And of course Find X5 Pro is splash, water, and dust resistant with a IP68 rating.

Find X5 Pro’s display features a 6.7-inch ultra-clear curved AMOLED screen, WQHD+ resolution, and 100% P3 colour gamut coverage.

Under the hood

Powered by the latest-generation, multicore Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, Find X5 Pro is supercharged to handle even the most demanding games and applications. Based on a compact, 4nm manufacturing process, Qualcomm’s integrated 2022 flagship GPU offers 30% higher performance, and 25% more power efficiency than the previous generation, in addition to enhanced AI capabilities.

Oppo has doubled down on efforts to boost battery life on Find X5 Pro and level-up power management. The large, 5000mAh dual-cell battery reflects a capacity increase of more than 11 per cent over Find X3 Pro.

With the support of enhanced 80W SUPERVOOC Flash-charging technology, Find X5 Pro can be charged from close to empty to 50 per cent in just 12 minutes, and with 50W AIRVOOC, it powers up to 100 per cent wirelessly in just 47 minutes.

Colours 12.1

Oppo’s ColorOS 12.1 has seen some refinement, with the aesthetics, from iconography to patterns, being updated with light and shadow effects to create a more real, three-dimensional feel.

Maintaining the privacy and security of your data – whether personal or for business – has always been a top priority and a key focus for ColorOS. These efforts have been recognised by third-party organisations including ISO, ePrivacy, and TrustArc and in November 2021, the Find X3 Pro was the first Chinese smartphone to receive MDfPP common criteria certification.

Oppo Find X 5 base model

The non-Pro Oppo Find X5 features all the same specs as the Pro model, but has an understated, yet ultra-premium finish, with frosted, matte glass and fingerprint-resistant chassis. Available in Black or White, the fine grain of this 90% frosted texture creates a beautiful, almost silky lustre that plays with light and feels incredible in the hand.

Camera-wise, the Find X5 features the same set-up as the Pro model, but has an f/1.8 aperture and a two-axis optical stabilisation, but still includes the outstanding dual IMX766 camera system, powered by MariSilicon X.

It also has a 6.5-inch 120Hz billion-colour display, a 4,800 mAh battery, support for 80W Supervooc charging, and 30W Airvooc wireless charging.
