I can't believe I just picked this up for just £140 this Christmas! It pays to shop used - it only had a very small scratch that I don't notice anyway!
I just ordered one second-hand, in excellent condition for 220 euros (the owner used it as a backup and it looks brand new in the pictures). Not a bad deal I'd say. I'm finally upgrading from my redmi note 8t 😆
Well overpriced at launch, it’s just a midrange phone that’s a cheaper china version. Oppo will never beat Apple or Samsung for quality, no matter what, still same goes for Honor or all the other Chinese phones.
@@Channel567-7I don't know about that, they seem to be able to match it. Xiaomi are good but they are all mostly banned everywhere now that kills their value and will stop them becoming better.
@@bengoey My friend have got the S21FE and i tested it by myself.The camera is not of the flagship level.It really struggles specially the ultrawide.Whereas i m seeing find x5 camera reviews on various channels and it looks better.Oppo has kept the camera same as that of X5 pro which is of flagship level.I m sure it will be much better than the S21FE.
I think the Realme GT2 is the best value for money with the Snapdragon 888 chipset . Its simply the best at £549....Save £200 for the summer holidays. Next year the manufacturers will be after our money again, the phone upgrade addiction kicks
I had the find x2 pro for about a year and hardware wise it was great, but it had a bunch of bugs that never seemed to get fixed….. in the end I got sick of it and moved back to iPhone
@@JR28. for instance the microphone would stop working intermittently and with no notification. So I would record a video and maybe 50% of the time there would be no sound (removing microphone permissions from Google seemed to fix it but then you couldn’t use the assistant) and issues with widevine support on Netflix among other things. Some of the issues probably aren’t entirely Oppo’s fault and more down to the fact they’re maybe not entirely mainstream devices. But either way detracts from the experience of owning and using the device
@@christopherwalton3565 right thanks, sounds really annoying tbh... I'm still considering picking up the X5 though due to the specs and size. Hopefully the bugs have been resolved with the newer phones.
I have a oppo find x5. I come from a huawei mate 20 pro. Is it me or is the sound in airpods worse on the oppo? On the huawei fantastic sound through my airpods. Almost no bass on the oppo. If any one has a idea of what is wrong please help
You probably don't need this advice anymore after a year, but it could be the Dolby sound settings on the Oppo x5, they have a big impact on how headphones sound. When I found the Dolby sound settings I was surprised I hadn't seen anyone mention it in their reviews. It's quite a big feature they included
Awesome. What's your comparison of the X5 and X5 Pro? Is the Pro better hands down or to save some money is it best to go for the X5? I'm not sure which one to go for
@@TJB147 i had some stroggels with the battery life. so i upgraded so the pro version and its very good the camera light exposure is better in performance the 888 and the 8gen 1 is not that big. Of a gap buth in battery life its Great its very fast. The only thing that i dont like is no monthly patches or optimalisations.
This phone looks pretty good. I am coming from a huawei P30 pro and will be looking to upgrade with a provider on contract. The Oneplus 9pro is in the same price bracket and I have one eye on the new honor magic 4 phones that are due out 12th May I think. What are peoples thoughts ? Go with the newer phone for OS and security updates or look at something older like the 9 pro etc even though they are a year or so old now ?
Would you get this for 540€ or the X3 Pro for 600€? this will get more update, the camera looks better and with better battery but the X3 Pro has a 1440p display and IP 68
@@everstar8056 one review doesn't really make a difference. This phone is using last year's tech, as to the lower price and that's a fact... its competing with the s21 FE and pixel 6, not the s22 flagship range.
@@everstar8056 I'm comparing it to the SD 8gen1 S22 but even then, the Exynos 2200 is more powerful than the SD888. Besides phones aren't all about power and benchmarks...
It's £200 cashback on the pro. £100 on the normal model. I managed £308 off my contract and £100 cashback on the X5. A £208 better deal than the X5 Pro before the normal price difference.
I had find X3 pro. Is the real rubbish phone. Bluetooth for portable speaker not good as well. Battery only 1 years limit then be dried. Crap phone and flagship
I've stopped considering flagships round about the time the headphone jack was dropped - but if this wasn't the case, I feel I'd be an OPPO guy.
Sony Xperia...
why cry if u got only 1 headphones glue the dongle
The game footage with thumb obscuring the notch shows why it's better to have it on the left rather than centered.

How the hell did u find it so cheap? I'm thinking of buying it now (refurb) and it's £300
This phone will be good value next year when the price will drop my almost a half, same story was with find x3 neo.
Its 440 now

Cmon guys, more people need to be protesting the price of this. They would have killed both apple and scamsung if it were a bit cheaper!!

Which do you pick that a S20. or a53 or this
You should compare this with Samsung S21FE which has Snapdragon 888 with RRP £700.00 . Is the camera better than the S21FE ?
Most possibly no, but I also want to know
The camera is better than s21 fe.
@@everstar8056 have you seen any comparison ?

@@everstar8056 Thanks for the letting me know your friend's experience with the S21FE camera
I was between this and the OP 10 PRO, went for the 10 pro, it's £50 more, but you get a better screen and newer 8gen1 ;)
How is your oppo holding? How are the pictures?
Had the 10 pro ,the camera on the x5 is way better
Can anyone let me know what the connection speed is on the WiFi network settings
For an extra 49 quid you could get the OnePlus 10 pro.
I think the Biggest arguments will be to go for OnePlus 10 pro or realmegt2 pro .
1080p display only? I thought it was 1440p
Not the regular version. Check the Oppo website, it says this version is 1080P and the Pro model is 1440P 😀
I got it on contract at £30 a month with 100gb of data. After it also went on sale pay as you go in Argos for £450
Got one from Argos, seems good value at £449, plus used my Nectar points for £20.
@@Channel567-7 Yeah defiantly good value.

But doesn't have IP rating
Shocking audio quality on videos on the GT2
Oneplus 9rt better.
Great review.
How about the SD 888 heat issues
As it's well.know for quickly getting hot
No overheating issues here. It's a great flagship with great battery life.

yeah get the s21FE instead,there are so many offers
