Review: This is my second Oppo phone, purchased to replace a Reno4 Pro 5G. In comparison the Find X5 Pro feels much heavier, 226g compared to the Reno's 172g. Personally I prefer that, but that'll be a matter of personal choice. Physically the Find X5 Pro looks pretty in pictures but is completely impractical to keep hold of unless it's in a case as the ceramic material it's made from is super slippery. I've gone for a case from GOGME as it gives the most protection around the camera lenses. I chose the Find X5 Pro as it was reduced by £310 to £739 on a Black Friday deal and I wanted to get the best camera I could within reason. The camera does seem excellent, 50mp for standard and 50mp for wide angle with brilliant low light capabilities. The zoom isn't very good in comparison, being 13mp 2x optical but really only a Samsung S22 Ultra has a half decent zoom lens (for twice the price of the Oppo), and that's still nowhere near as good as a superzoom compact camera. I've got a Nikon A1000 35x optical to cover that requirement. The battery fitted by Oppo has a rated life of 1600 cycles (maintaining 80% of charge) compared to 500 for Apple and Samsung. Only time will tell if that claim is true but with a daily charge that's over 4 years without noticeable degradation. The face recognition seems excellent and the screen is superb as you'd expect from something that launched at well over £1000. The one thing the Find X5 Pro and Reno4 Pro 5G share is an utterly useless fingerprint reader built into the screen. I work in an industry where I use my hands so the top later of skin on my fingers is often damaged. Simply put, the fingerprint reader just doesn't work. With or without screen protector makes no difference. Compared to old Motorolas I've had with the sensor on the back which always worked perfectly regardless of how chewed up my fingers were the Oppos are a huge disappointment. Perhaps for office types who never do manual work the fingerprint reader works OK but not for us manual types. Out of the box the Find X5 Pro had ColorOS 12 (Android 12) installed but within a few hours it had done a couple of upgrades to that, and then and upgrade to ColorOS 13 (Android 13). More evolution than revolution but seems to work fine. There is no perfect phone, the best you can do is wade through the reviews and go for what does what you want the best. For me that's camera performance and I'm not disappointed. Definitely worth considering.

Review: I migrated from a Samsung s10. None of my cards works on this new phone. all the NFC wireless transactions get rejected. I contacted Google for their Wallet app., but they said things are well on their side. I have to return the phone and go for another model.
