OPPO Find X5 Lite, mid-range with enviable features

The OPPO Find X5 Lite It is the younger brother of the Oppo Find X5 family, being a very competitive mid-range smartphone with a MediaTek 900 chip, a nice design, 65W Supervooc fast charging and many other attractions that make it a competitive option. As you can guess, it is the cheapest model in its series, but that is not why we should rule it out, since as we will discover throughout this analysis, it is an excellent option in the current mid-range market.

However, for those who are looking for a smartphone of the upper-middle range, we can recommend first-hand the Oppo Reno8which we consider a pleasant surprise in its respective market segment.

features of the OPPO Find X5 Lite

Design and display

In terms of aesthetics, it is a quite beautiful mobile that we find available in two color presentations: starry black and stellar blue. Regardless of the color chosen, awaits us a semi-transparent plastic mobile with a very unique texturewhich hides fingerprints and stains well, to the point that we can only see them when the light reflects directly.

With that said, the phone does have a good grip, which is a product of its curved edges and unibody design. Also, it is quite thin (7.81mm) and light, so there are no complaints in this regard.

The front is home to a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen with FullHD+ resolution (2,400 x 1,080 pixels) and a refresh rate that oscillates between 60Hz and 90Hz depending on the situation. That said, it’s an excellent panel that shines for its fluidity and color rendering, but leaves a little to be desired in terms of its level of brightness and response speed of the on-screen fingerprint reader.

In general, it is an excellent mobile to consume multimedia content and also to play thanks to those 90Hz, but stereo sound is missing for a more complete experience.

Hardware and features

Beneath its pretty design lies a chip MediaTek Dimensity 900 with system liquid refrigeration complemented by multilayer graphite sheets, elements that allow it to maintain its level of performance without overheating. With that in mind, the processor is accompanied by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 type internal storage.

This combination of components allows the OPPO Find X5 Lite scoring a score of 705 and 2,186 in Geekbench 5’s single-core and multi-threaded tests, respectively; which puts it above terminals like the OnePlus Nord CE 2 and Realme 8 Pro in terms of performance, but below let’s say the Relame Master Edition.

Leaving benchmarks aside, the OPPO Find X5 Lite is a terminal that can handle everything we throw at it on a daily basis, from applications to social networks, including demanding games like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty and PUBG Mobile, which we can play smoothly at 60FPS most of the time. Best of all, its cooling system is effective in preventing performance drop for thermal reasons.

In another order of ideas, the operating system of the day is Android 12but obviously you are not alone, because the user interface of Oppo (Color OS 12) is present. It should be noted that it comes with one or another unwanted app, but nothing that we cannot eliminate. In addition, it provides stable and smooth operation at all times.

If we talk about connectivity, well know that it consists of 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS and more.

cameras

The OPPO Find X5 Lite has a triple camera on the back, which is led by a 64MP main sensor. Similarly, it consists of a 8MP wide angle lens with a field of vision of 119 degrees and 2MP macro sensor. For its part, the front camera makes use of a 32MP sensor.

Specs aside, it’s a good camera in the right conditions. In a nutshell, can get Instagram-worthy shots when the sunlight favors it, but at nightfall not even the night mode can save our photos from noise and lack of sharpness. Likewise, the macro camera could well be for decoration, since it needs a lot of light to get something decent.

The quality of the front camera is not bad, and the night mode favors it more than the rear camera itself.

How about the battery?

Finally, the OPPO Find X5 Lite is powered by a 4,500mAh battery that promises more than a day of use, and it keeps its word, because on average we can expect 31 hours of normal use with the display toggling between 60 and 90Hz, or just 7 and a half hours with the screen on all the time.

It is not exactly a remarkable duration, but its 65W SuperVOOC fast charging yes it is, because in just 45 minutes can be charged to 100%. Similarly, the manufacturer ensures that 5 minutes of charging is enough to obtain 2 hours of use.

Availability and price of the OPPO Find X5 Lite

Those interested in the OPPO Find X5 Lite will be able to purchase it through the always reliable Amazon.co.uk storebut it can also be found available at Media Markt for a competitive price. In addition, El Corte Inglés has it for sale and buy it from Worten not a bad idea either. As a last alternative we can suggest look for it in Carrefour.
