**The Oppo Find 5: A Unique yet Impressive Smartphone**

As I held the Oppo Find 5 in my hands, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity. The phone's design is undoubtedly unique, with its minimalist aesthetic that sets it apart from other Android devices on the market. The device's weight and build quality are truly impressive, making me wonder if I could hammer a nail into wood without breaking the phone itself.

The Oppo Find 5 boasts an impressive list of specs, including a 1080p display, a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and 16 GB of storage with 2 GB of RAM. While some may view these specifications as nothing new, the phone's ability to deliver high-performance capabilities is undeniable. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the device handled everyday tasks, from browsing web pages to scrolling through social media.

The phone's display is truly one of its standout features, with a vibrant 1080p screen that shines bright and colorful in both indoor and outdoor environments. Viewing angles are also impressive, making it easy to share content or watch videos with friends and family without distortion. The phone's brightness level is comparable to some high-end devices, including the Lumia 920, although it may not match the brightness of some of Samsung's offerings.

One aspect that sets the Oppo Find 5 apart from other Android devices is its bundled apps. All pre-installed software has a uniform design aesthetic that gives the phone a cohesive look and feel. While this might not be an issue for everyone, I appreciate the attention to detail in Oppo's decision to keep the UI consistent throughout.

**Benchmarks and Performance**

In order to get a better understanding of the phone's performance capabilities, I ran some benchmarks on the device's Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. To my surprise, the results were impressive, with scores rivaling some of the top Android devices on the market.

While I'm not an expert in benchmark analysis, it's clear that the Oppo Find 5's quad-core processor can handle demanding tasks like gaming and video playback without breaking a sweat. This bodes well for power users who rely on their smartphones to handle heavy usage patterns.

**Real-World Usage**

One of the things I was most curious about was how the phone would perform in real-world scenarios. As someone who uses their phone extensively throughout the day, I wanted to see if the Oppo Find 5 could keep up with my active lifestyle.

I'm pleased to report that the device handled itself admirably, delivering snappy performance and responsive UI even after hours of use. The battery life was also impressive, lasting me throughout a typical day without requiring a recharge. While it may not be as long-lasting as some other devices on the market, I found that the Oppo Find 5's power-saving features helped extend its lifespan.

**Conclusion**

Overall, my experience with the Oppo Find 5 has left me thoroughly impressed. The phone's unique design aesthetic and exceptional build quality make it stand out from the crowd, while its performance capabilities are truly on par with some of the best Android devices available.

While there may be some who find the phone's design too radical or even polarizing, I believe that this is a strength rather than a weakness. The Oppo Find 5 is a testament to the company's ability to innovate and push boundaries in the world of smartphones.

If you're in the market for a new device and are looking for something that truly stands out from the crowd, the Oppo Find 5 is definitely worth considering. Its exceptional build quality, impressive specs, and robust performance capabilities make it a serious contender in the smartphone landscape.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys MKBHD here and it's about time we gave the full review treatment to the Oppo Find 5 so for those of you who missed it my first video about this device is on the screen now on an annotation or it's the first link below the like button on this video but to put it bluntly we've been waiting for this phone for a while this is the international find five from Oppo a company more wellknown for its pricey Blu-ray players but boy has this thing been a pleasant surprise in the build quality Department this is the best smartphone you can buy step aside Droid DNA step aside Samsung plastic step aside iPhone 5 step aside lumian 920 this is a stormtrooper of a smartphone build an absolute boss it measures in at 165 G and 8.8 mm thick so that's actually making it thinner and lighter than that 920 but not too thin and not too light I actually prefer a phone that's just a little bit thicker to accommodate a bigger battery and they've done that with this phone it has a ,500 mAh battery inside this guy so that'll help it last easily an entire day on a charge which is nice now I'm not about to do a drop test but this phone feels incredibly well built in fact the frame is made of steel steel there is steel holding this phone together it has a rock solid back too that completes the look and the bezel around this glass display it's very hardened glass and it's pretty sharp around the edges but it is edge to edge glass so you won't see it as a seam when you're holding the phone also if you take a look at the entire design it's not completely complely flat on the top and the bottom it has a little bit of a a curve to the design and it has a pretty traditional button layout which will remind you that it is definitely still competing with other high-end smartphones like the Sony sparia Z and other 1080p phones coming out in the near future so up on the front you have the menu button the home button and the back button and there is no uh multitasking button obviously but we'll get to that whole process in a second uh but also just first off so we're clear the headphone jack is up top not my favorite location but it's there and the audio sounds good and we have the power button on the left side the USB port and the microphone on the bottom and the volume rocker on the right side now I've been using Motorola and HTC and Samsung devices for so long that this power button volume rocker placement felt backwards at first but I actually got used to it in a few days and everything about this design is great and again it's just screams quality everything about it even the packaging is awesome some us manufacturers could really learn from this very simple clean styl and compact packaging and magnetic so it's really simple even has a subtle design on the top cover that I actually didn't notice until I Revisited the Box a few days later so this is an awesome box even the Oppo logo SIM card ejector tool feels high quality got to love this stuff now back to the phone anyway on the back is a pretty decent quality speaker it actually gets really loud louder than most other smartphones but it gets distorted when you crank it that loud but it's pretty good overall and up top is a 13 megap camera and dual LED Flash and microphone now this camera was hit or miss really it looks great on the spec sheet right you know 13 megapixels but it really just performs like any other average 8 megapixel smartphone camera like something like the Optimus G really uh sort of middle of the road though I'm sure this can and will improve with oppo's constant firmware updates as they seem really dedicated to updating it but it takes okay photos it takes HDR macro the whole nine but I was really more impressed with the video mode it actually let me take 1080p HDR videos which gave me much more dynamic range in shots that were really bright and really dark so it seems to do a pretty good job with that especially for a smartphone and I was actually most impressed with the 1.9 MEAP megapixel front facing camera it looked really good during video calls Google Plus Hangouts so I appreciate the good shooter on the front but honestly overall clearly the fine five is a unique device that stands out from the pack especially in the design and the build quality department so if you want a phone that's built like a tank this is your phone no doubt and when you turn it on holy crap this is very different this is oppo's skinned version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean now the immediate first reaction is wow that looks like a larger and more colorful Stormtrooper iPhone now well you'd be right I can kind of admit it does look that way at first this is a MIUI looking skin but then again this is Android so you don't have to like everything about these home screens out of the box you can just throw on Nova Launcher add an icon pack add whatever widgets you want and you will never have to see this look again you don't even have to be rooted so that's the beauty that runs Android it's very flexible but out of the box this is what it looks like and it's honestly a pretty solid experience you can't really knock it till you try it uh and again you do get widgets and all these things so it's not all just Square icons they've taken some hints from the US manufacturers uh like Samsung who don't just put a skin on it to make it look different but they actually add value they add features to make the smartphone look better or make it more useful so the notification bar is a perfect example the Oppo took the opportunity to add some custom toggles and information to the notification bar another example is a multitasking which allows you to see not one not two but three of your most recent apps and you can swipe them away and swipe between them to close them and you also get an idea of how much of your 2 GB of RAM is free so they've done a pretty good job with this kind of stuff there's also a bunch of stock apps that all have a similar design language among them so it's kind of a unifying the feel among the apps that come pre-installed on this phone the only problem with that is that these are all third party and when you start to add other thirdparty apps from the Play Store at least the good ones anyway they all follow Google's new Hollow design for Android 4.2 so they're all blue and dark themed and these apps might look a little funky on the Oppo Fine 5 they might not even fit in really but even though they don't work or they do work perfectly and they fit the platform beautifully they might look a little out of place web pages look pretty awesome they are great on the 1080p display and they load pretty quickly and scrolling and zooming around it can all be handled by that Snapdragon S4 Pro and Google Chrome is the stock browser so it's a pretty natural experience so it's a good job there and it comes pre-installed with this sweet file manager it's actually good looking so I'm going to go ahead and use it to show you the benchmarks that I got on that Snapdragon S4 Pro so yeah in case you are worried about this skin slowing down performance nope the synthetic benchmarks gave it pretty high marks so you won't have to worry about getting sluggish or choppy performance or anything like that this thing flies but yeah the distinguishing thing about the software is that all of the pre-installed bundled apps have that same white light design and they all look good and Beautiful on that 1080p display and everything but they might not match your Dark Hollow Play store apps they even though they're really high quality all of the extra bundled features and the UI tweaks aren't changed just for the sake of changing them but they're changed with the intent of making it better and making their own software design work on this device so it's a very Oppo device as you can see overall I think it flows pretty well the UI is overall pretty smooth and I rarely got stuck trying to figure anything out coming from another Android device also a question people want to ask is how well does it keep up with a power user you know someone like me who uses their phone every day with hours of screen on time and I got to say it kept up pretty well with me I'm a consistent user and it was really Snappy the whole day maybe not Nexus 4 Snappy but it was acceptably fast and the battery often lasts me when I get up at 5:30 in the morning don't ask till around 11: or 12 at night which qualifies as a full day in my book and speaking of screen on time that 1080p display is of course magnificent for gaming for using that Snapdragon S4 Pro for watching YouTube videos even it's beautiful just like the Droid DNA it's a big bright and nice looking display viewing angles are also topnotch like you would expect and it of course blows the amola displays out of the water in terms of brightness so the fine5 handles its business man it's a unique phone no doubt but it's Unique in the way that makes you want to pick it up and try it rather than ignore it and wait for something else and that's something a boss phone does best build quality out there and one of the nicest cleanest designs rivels the buttonless Galaxy Nexus in terms of sexiness in my opinion and I'm convinced that after all this time the weight was definitely worth it all right so there you go guys that is it that is the Oppo Find 5 it's the Stormtrooper of all smartphones in terms of design and it is a boss in terms of build qu quality so clearly it is on top of at least my list right now for 2013 it's going to be hard to beat this in my opinion uh definitely in terms of build I feel like I could hammer a nail into wood with this thing and uh I'd be more worried about breaking the nail than I would be about breaking the phone now I knows how to get a good sense of how well you would actually like the phone in person uh but it definitely feels like a slightly more rigid uh Lumia 920 it's a little bit lighter a little bit thinner a little bit sharper a little bit more handsome and to be honest on paper this thing is a beast on the spec sheet it has a 5in 1080p display it has a quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro really good processor probably the best on the line still right now Android 4.1 Jelly Bean 2,500 mAh battery 16 gigs of storage 2 GB of RAM it's it's clearly a a worldclass smartphone and this is oppo's way of saying hey we can make worldclass smartphones too and they definitely proven that so my my result is I guess U check it out consider it it's one of the best and uh it will be for a while thanks for watching this has been an MKBHD review video and if you like what you saw be sure to give it a thumbs up that really does help out and if you
