Oppo has opted for the same triple photo sensor as the Find X5 Pro, but there are small differences. We’re still entitled to a duo of 50 Mpx Sony IMX766 sensors for wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle. Rounding it all out is a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom (and up to 20x digital).
In the wide-angle range, the Find X5 Pro is covered with a glass lens to better combat chromatic aberration and offer more lifelike color reproduction. It is also equipped with 5-axis optical stabilization (3-axis on the sensor and 2-axis on the lens).
The wide angle of the Find X5 offers a resin lens and 2-axis optical stabilization as well as digital stabilization (EIS). Both benefit from the partnership with Hasselblad and the MariSilicon X image processing chip. We will compare its photo performance with that of its big brother, but also with that of the impressive Pixel 6 Pro.
Module principle: 50 Mpx, f/1.8, eq. 24mm
We decided to compare the Find X5’s results to the Pro version, if only because of the difference in lens aperture (f/1.8 for the Find X and f/1.7 for the Pro). Finally, as you will see, the two devices offer very close reproduction.

In good lighting conditions, the Find X5 delivers a very convincing shot. As with its predecessor, the photo is very clear and detailed. We can see that the colors on the left side of our test scene are a bit more saturated and the cards are a bit more pink in hue. The Find X5 Pro offers a slightly more natural rendering, but the two devices will be difficult to tell apart in a standard daytime photo.

At night we see that the Find X5 offers a slightly higher contrast rendering. We see it, for example, in the lion’s mane, the relief of which appears more pronounced. The Pro again offers a slightly softer and more natural treatment, although we do see a little blurring by the book’s title.
Face to Pixel 6 Pro
The Google smartphone, which we also compared, performed particularly well in the exercise.

In both situations, we find that the Pixel 6 Pro displays even more detail and better sharpness. It is particularly evident on the faces or the cover of the book, suggesting more roughness.
50 Mpx mode
We looked at the 50Mpx mode in a dedicated lab article when we reviewed the Find X5 Pro. This Find X5 behaves the same way, we refer you to the latter. It is also interesting here if you pay attention to the storage space of the device or opt for a cloud solution.
Ultra wide angle module: 50 Mpx, f/2.2, éq. 16mm
In the ultra wide angle, the manufacturer uses the same 50 Mpx sensor as in the wide angle. The result is better than that of the Pixel this time.

Google’s smartphone offers better exposure and less digital smoothing, but the result isn’t nearly as sharp as the Find X5. Oppo’s device gives a result very close to that of the main module, which works to its advantage.
Telephoto module: 13 MP, f/2.4, eq. 52mm
Oppo doesn’t change the formula here and the Find X5 delivers pretty similar shots to the Pro. Unfortunately, this is a module that hasn’t received as much attention from the company. Its 2x optical zoom struggles to compete with the 3x or 10x zooms offered by devices like the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Huawei P50 Pro or Pixel 6 Pro.

On this module we see that the Find X5’s rendering is colder and the colors are less vivid. The whole thing remains clear, but the Pro’s shot benefits from better sharpness. The treatment used is therefore a little different.

The Find X5 Pro is slightly better exposed in the dark, but hardly more attractive.
Front and video module
Like the Pro, the Find X5 is also equipped with a 32 Mpx wide-angle (f/2.4) front photo sensor. A very good quality module that will allow you to take detailed shots and that has an effective portrait mode. Beard hair or small bumps on the face are easy to spot. The rendering is natural and it is possible to adjust the background blur on the fly. However, it is necessary to mark an exposure time during recording.
Starting with the Find X3 Pro, Oppo takes care of the video. The rendering offered here once again meets our expectations. Day and night it is possible to film in 4K HDR at 60 fps and enjoy excellent quality. It is therefore a smartphone capable of supporting amateur videographers.
