The Oppo Find X5 Pro isn't perfect but it's easily the best Oppo phone thanks to an attractive display, fast performance, and a great main camera. 80W wired charging means it takes less than half an hour to recharge, which is remarkable too.

Its 6.7-inch AMOLED panel looks great, with a decent refresh rate of 120Hz and maximum brightness of 1,300 nits. Camera-wise, you get a 50MP f/1.7 lens for the primary sensor, along with another 50MP f/2.2 snapper for the ultrawide, boasting a 110-degree field of view.

+

Reasons to avoid

-
Cover display could do more
-
No wireless charging
-
No IP rating

Aside from IP-certification, the Oppo Find N2 Flip looks as though it was purpose-built to thwart Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4 at every turn.

A zero-gap folding design capable of withstanding double the number of folds as the Flip 4 leads the charge, a larger cover display than any other clamshell foldable on the market expands functionality beyond what's possible by its competitors and it's more affordable than even the baseline Galaxy Z Flip 4, despite packing in comparable performance, twice the storage and a much larger battery.

Speaking of battery, the Find N2 Flip boasts the largest (4,300mAh) and the fastest charging (44W) of any clamshell foldable, at the time of writing.

There are a capable pair of rear-facing cameras – a 50MP main and an 8MP ultrawide sensor – which, thanks to the N2 Flip's huge 3.26-inch portrait cover display, can be used to snap high-quality selfies and video, with ease.

The N2 Flip is also one of the company's first phones to boast a Samsung-matching four years of OS updates and five years of security updates.

The new best Oppo phone

Specifications

Release date: March 2022
Weight: 196g
Dimensions: 160.3 x 72.6 x 8.7mm
OS: Android 12
Screen size: 6.55-inch
Resolution: 1080 x 2400

RAM: 8/12GB
Storage: 128GB/256GB
Battery: 4,800mAh
Rear camera: 50MP + 13MP + 50MP
Front camera: 32MP

Reasons to buy

+
Bright and vivid screen
+
Good battery life

Reasons to avoid

-
Little expensive
-
No waterproofing

The Oppo Find X5 offers a high-quality experience at a premium mid-range price (which continues to drop). With a great look that's rarely troubled by fingerprints (especially in black), it looks sleek and appealing. That comes at a price with no waterproofing but providing you're careful, it's worth it.

A gorgeous 6.55-inch AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz means this is a great phone to look at, while a triple-lens rear camera means photos look pretty great too. Even in low-light conditions, you're guaranteed superb shots, although don't rely on the 2x optical zoom for anything more than portrait-mode shots.

Speedy performance and 5G support round off a remarkable phone that packs a lot in for a more reasonable price than you would expect.

Oppo Reno 8 Pro

Great quality all-rounder

Specifications

Release date: July 2022
Weight: 183g
Dimensions: 161.2 x 74.2 x 7.3mm
OS: Android 12
Screen size: 6.7-inch
Resolution: 1080 x 2412
CPU: MediaTek Dimension 8100-Max
RAM: 8/12GB
Storage: 256GB
Battery: 4,500mAh
Rear camera: 50MP + 8MP + 2MP
Front camera: 32MP

Reasons to buy

+
Great performance for the price
+
Good-looking display

Reasons to avoid

-
Awkward design
-
Weak secondary cameras 

With a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel sporting a 120Hz refresh rate, the Oppo Reno 8 Pro immediately looks attractive for anyone wanting to watch movies on the move or play games. Embedded within that display is a reliably speedy fingerprint scanner. 

Speed is certainly the Oppo Reno 8 Pro's strong point. Using the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX, there's high-end performance that's not quite as speedy as the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, but still more than good enough. 256GB of storage is a useful touch and the main camera uses the 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor well; even if its other cameras are a little weak. 

Throw in speedy 80W fast charging and there's a lot to like about the Oppo Reno 8 Pro.

Oppo Reno 8

A design icon

Specifications

Release date: August 2022
Weight: 179g
Dimensions: 160 x 73.4 x 7.67mm
OS: Android 12
Screen size: 6.4-inch
Resolution: 1080 x 2400
CPU: MediaTek Dimension 1300
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 256GB
Battery: 4,500mAh
Rear camera: 50MP + 8MP + 2MP
Front camera: 32MP

Reasons to buy

+
Great performance for the price
+
Good-looking display

Reasons to avoid

-
Awkward design
-
Weak secondary cameras 

Essentially the Reno 8 Pro with a smaller, lower-resolution, lower refresh-rate display and a more modest chipset but beyond that, the Reno 8 gives you the same assortment of capable cameras, the same sizeable battery and the same rapid fast charging in a familiar eye-catching design.

What it lacks in power, it makes up for in affordability, serving as one of the better-looking phones at its price point. Even with its lower standing in Oppo's lineup, it's still a capable smartphone, with nice visuals from its 90Hz AMOLED display and camera's that can deliver in most scenarios without too much trouble.

Decent battery life bolstered by rapid 80W fast-charging doesn't hurt either.

Reliable across the board

Specifications

Release date: March 2022
Weight: 173g
Dimensions: 160.6 x 73.2 x 7.8 mm
OS: Android 11
Screen size: 6.43-inch
Resolution: 1080 x 2400
CPU: MediaTek Dimensity 900
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 256GB
Battery: 4,500mAh
Rear camera: 64MP + 8MP + 2MP
Front camera: 32MP

Reasons to buy

+
Decent display
+
Good main camera

Reasons to avoid

-
Expensive for what it is
-
Still running Android 11

The Oppo Find X5 Lite offers a decent amount of mid-range features for the slightly above average price. You get a 6.43-inch AMOLED display that looks vivid with smooth images courtesy of the 90Hz refresh rate. 

Its primary camera is respectable, offering good photos with its 64MP main lens.

There's decent battery life too, with the phone easily lasting a day; although that may be due to the fairly average performance from its MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset.

Still, as a decent all-rounder, the Oppo Find X5 Lite mostly covers all the bases.
