OPPO Find X5 Pro with Dimensity 9000 chip unveiled
What's the story
OPPO launched its flagship Find X5 series with Qualcomm processors on Thursday. Now, the company has unveiled a MediaTek Dimensity 9000-powered Find X5 Pro in China. It is priced at CNY 5,799 (around Rs. 69,000) for the 12GB/256GB model. Notably, the Dimensity version of the X5 Pro is the first handset to be powered by MediaTek's new flagship processor that was announced last year.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Many were left disappointed when OPPO didn't announce a Dimensity 9000-powered device during the recent Find X5 launch event. It now seems like it was a deliberate strategy from the company. The X5 Pro Dimensity Edition has specifications similar to the Snapdragon version. However, it lacks the in-house MariSilicon X NPU, 5-axis OIS, and Hasselblad's color calibration, which in turn reduces the camera quality.
Display
The handset has 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screen
The OPPO Find X5 Pro features a left-aligned punch-hole cut-out, slim bezels, curved edges, an IP68-rated build quality, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The handset bears a 6.7-inch QHD+ (1440x3216 pixels) LTPO AMOLED display with a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate, 1,300-nits of peak brightness, HDR10+ support, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. It is offered in Ceramic Black and Ceramic White color options.
Information
It boasts a 50MP ultra-wide camera
The Find X5 Pro flaunts a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP (f/1.7) main shooter, a 13MP (f/2.4) telephoto lens with 5x hybrid zoom, and a 50MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide sensor. Up front, it offers a 32MP (f/2.4) snapper for selfies and video calls.
Under the hood
It boots ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12
The OPPO Find X5 Pro Dimensity Edition is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, coupled with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. Under the hood, it runs on Android 12-based ColorOS 12.1 and packs a 5,000mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless fast-charging support. For connectivity, it offers support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, 5G, and a Type-C port.
