OPPO Find X5 Pro Edition Experience: Not only performance, but also a comprehensive flagship

The word "flagship" seems to have been used somewhat over the place. Its own meaning is actually a product that plays a leading role in similar products.

In the early days of smart phones, the definition of flagship products was relatively simple, and the hardware specifications were high enough that it could be called the flagship product in the camp and also played a leading role.

With the development of the smart phone industry, hardware specifications are becoming more and more convergent, and it is difficult to achieve the "dominance" of the industry by simply creating products with parameters as the focus.

At this time, the definition of "flagship" products has become more complex, not only hardware, software, ecological level to bring experience advantages can reflect the flagship characteristics of products.

Whether it is the competition of pure hardware stacking or the current compound competition, playing a "leading" role is the core essence of making flagship products.

In the face of the opportunity of 5G, MediaTek began to lay out very early, launching a chip Tianji 1000 that supports dual 5G, and launched the Tianji 1200 focusing on ISPs and APUs the following year.

After two years of asceticism, back to the "flagship"

Here the "ascetic" is MediaTek, and the return to the "flagship" refers to the Tianji platform.

After two years of precipitation, it finally broke out on the Tianji 9000 mobile platform, using a new ARM V9 architecture, and then introducing an independent AI chip, supplemented by TSMC's 4nm process process, which became the focus as soon as it was released.

▲ The firmware of the Find X5 Pro Tianji edition of the hands-on experience is not a mass production version, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

With the launch of the OPPO Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition, the long-warmed Tianji 9000 has finally been unveiled.

▲ The data intercepted from Perfdog, from top to bottom, is the frame rate, CPU running state and power state.

Even in some high-intensity stress testing and medium to mild load scenarios, the Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition has a better energy consumption ratio, which complements the consistent flagship characteristics of the Find X series.

In the more familiar "Original God" scene, under the internal temperature wall of 50 °C, the super core, large core, and middle core are all called according to the load situation.

Intuitively, under the comfortable grip temperature of the fuselage, the oversized core will still be limited and unable to fire at full speed.

Under the test of running pictures and monster clearance, the average frame rate of the Find X5 Pro is about 45fps, the temperature on the back of the fuselage is about 42 ° C, and the position is still on the other side of the camera.

There is a loss and a gain, the ultimate performance is missing, but the energy consumption is better.

In an environment with a somatosensory sensing of 30°C, the average power consumption of the Find X5 Pro was maintained at 2.9W for half an hour.

In "Glory of the King", oppo Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition ran a frame rate of 119.4fps, without stuttering throughout the whole process, and the average power consumption of the whole machine was 2.2W.

From the results of the test, it can be seen that the Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition is biased towards "experience" rather than "limit" for performance output tuning.

In fact, after the launch of the Find X3 Pro curve style last year, there has been a debate about whether it looks good or not, but it is much praise for the manufacturing process and design sense.

But the smartphone is not a "game" and "running score", it is a comprehensive function orientation tool, relative to the extreme points, may be more suitable for daily life without obvious shortcomings.

The positioning of OPPO Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition is like this, it does not focus on the performance of "e-sports", nor does it focus on running high scores, but tends to focus on the comprehensive ability of the comprehensive scene. It did not have full firepower, and indeed there was a long stream of fine water.

However, OPPO Find X5 Pro Tianji edition still has a lot of potential, the current preview version of the firmware, e-sports mode, performance release is still relatively conservative, resulting in a small gap with the ordinary mode of performance, the follow-up OTA can focus on grinding the e-sports model.

One-piece ceramic body that I can't let go

After a month, the design of the OPPO Find X5 Pro series is still eye-catching.

Compared with the gentle "white porcelain" version, the "black glaze" color of the Find X5 Pro Tianji version is more "temperamental". Unlike the black of AG glass, the black glaze color is black with gray in the middle, and unlike the cold color of the ling, it will give people a touch of gentleness.

After replacing the ceramic material, the process difficulty of the entire back cover rises sharply, not to mention that in the lens module of the crater, the lens decoration circle is deleted, and the manufacturing process is refined, so that the lens and the ceramic shell are maintained as much as possible on the same plane, and the vision is integrated.

▲ Relatively speaking, the back cover of the Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition is more minimalistic.

Through the cold mechanical arm and accurate numbers, coupled with the complicated process, the final production of sensual "curves", is some of the romance of science and engineering in it.

The Find X5 Pro is a "cut-out" of the Find X3 Pro surface, removing some interfering elements and making the presentation of the back curve more coherent. The addition of ceramic materials is the icing on the cake, and the texture is full.

The last two generations of the Find X series are more closely related in design, or have a common design expression. It is also in accordance with the concept of "design for the brand".

In other words, the design style of the Find X series has become an aesthetic business card of OPPO, gradually influencing the aesthetics of the public and gradually dominating the industry.

In addition to the screen refresh rate, for brightness, find X5 Pro Tianji edition also made an adaptation. According to the official statement, it is to increase the dimming speed and brightness gear to avoid flickering on and off.

It's still the "best" screen

The screen of oppo Find X2 Pro raises the definition of "good screen" in one fell swoop, and the Find X3 Pro further introduces 10-bit full-link color.

To find X5 Pro Tianji Edition, its screen is almost top-notch in terms of data, such as the color accuracy JNCD is about 0.4, can display 1.07 billion colors, the maximum peak brightness is 1300 nits, and the color gamut comes to 100% P3.

However, the screen of a flagship machine is not only a parameter, it is only a foundation, and the software-level tuning strategy will directly affect the user experience.

The LTPO screen adaptive refresh strategy and adaptive dimming are the algorithm optimizations made by the FInd X5 Pro Tianji Edition on the screen experience.

Compared with the previous generation of Find X3 Pro, the LTPO screen adaptive refresh algorithm of the Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition is more delicate. Within commonly used apps, swipe, video, still, and so on all have corresponding refresh rate variations.

But still judging by the scene, it is difficult to eat all of them, and it is still possible to be beaten back to 60Hz in niche apps. However, this is also a common treatment for many LTPO screens.

OPPO Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition does not have the double blessing of Mariana X and Hasselblad, but only relies on the isPs, APUs and OPPO of the Tianji 9000 to accumulate image algorithms.

As market brands gradually exert efforts on screen specifications, good screens have sprung up. As a display hub and a screen of the interaction hub, the display quality is only part of it, and the interactive part relies on the tuning algorithm to undertake.

The screen of the OPPO Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition can be said to be an example of the combination of algorithm and hardware specifications, and the look and feel and experience are at the flagship level.

Dual main camera of the dominant industry

▲ Find X5 Pro Tianji edition of the lens module printed with the words Dual Main Cameras (dual main camera), is also one of the few flagships on the market still insist on using dual main camera.

However, in terms of hardware specifications, it still maintains the dual main camera concept of Find X3 Pro, the same is two IMX766, with a 2 times 13 million pixel medium focus lens, counting the hybrid zoom, the maximum can go to 5 times, enough to cope with more than 90% of the daily scene.

In fact, as of press time, the image performance of the Find X5 Pro Tianji version has not been sealed, and it is still being tuned in beta testing, so this article does not use the picture quality and film completion rate as evaluation criteria.

The concept of dual main camera has been adopted by many manufacturers, and there are many converging products in the same period of Find X3 Pro, but a year later, only the Find X5 Pro series has been continuing the specifications of dual main camera, and dual main camera has also become a label on the Find X series image.

Like the family design, the dual main camera can also be regarded as a family image expression.

In the name of Pro, the Tianji Edition is well-deserved

To be honest, when the Find X5 series announced the launch of the Tianji 9000 mobile platform, I think there is a high probability that the Tianji 9000 will appear on the Find X5.

Referring to Find X3 Pro and Find X3 again, some configurations may be omitted from some specifications to distinguish whether it is Pro or not.

But after it was unveiled, it was really matched with the flagship specifications of the Find X Pro series, and then superimposed on a layer of tuning algorithms that optimized the details of the experience, which was enough to make the "Tianji Edition" a true flagship product of MediaTek in the past two years.

And with the accumulation of MediaTek in the 5G era, Tianji 9000 has become the head player in the current Android camp with better energy consumption ratio and better performance output.

Similarly, the Find X5 Pro Edition naturally focuses on the SoC mobile platform itself.

Returning to the daily experience, the Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition actually has no so-called advantages and disadvantages in many experiences, but it is less than the imprint of different platform processors.

You could argue that oppo has reservations about performance tuning, but I think it's a smart thing to do, because the Find X5 Pro series is originally a "composite" flagship, not a product that focuses on extreme performance.

From the overall performance of the Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition, it can be called the sequel to Find X3 Pro, and naturally has a well-deserved flagship positioning.

For MediaTek, after two years of hard work, it finally blossomed on the flagship of the Find X5 Pro generation.

It can be called the sequel to the Find X3 Pro, and naturally has a well-deserved flagship positioning.
