    fapfapfap :D
    i’m gonna write a priority mail to santa! i was in doubts for weeks after looking at some “leaked” photos, that it would look ugly, but to my greatest surprise: it doesn’t.
    guess the only thing which would prevent me from buying is the availability. or the availability of htc’s butterfly ;)

    Hi Andi! Nice post! Better info than on the spanish tech sites I’m following ;)

    The Oppo Find 5 is A-W-S-O-M-E, you can easily see that chinese manufacturers have reach western standards… if not overcome them. If price I just saw is correct (2998 元) we’re talking about around 370 €, that’s half the Lumia 920 (another tech beast with lots of new features) or the i5. Sorry for everybody but I’m NOT RICH, and you can breathe the quality of this phone from every single line or spot of it. Bye, bye (impossible) Xiaomi M2, hi Oppo Find 5!

    Cheers everyone there!

      Well, I made a mistake, Lumia (in Spain) is coming from 670 € and down, but anyway you can save a good money buying this Oppo, and it has good features too. I won’t pay 200-300 € more for a phone, that’s all.

    No LTE/sdslot.
    Bezel little wide but waiting for Video.
    Casing – Professional and cool at the same time.
    Camera has a nice spec. Was expecting higher slow-mo mode ;) HDR :) )

    It depends a LOT on price. You can get a ZTE U950 for $160. So 3 times more for a nice screen and admittedly well manufactured and quality looking body. Depends if price is in the EU/UK with tax/VAT paid etc. Or ship from cn. Maybe an LTE/SD slot is in the pipeworks,

    Well done for getting one SO Quickly. Will be really interesting to se how ZTE respond. But huge well done OPPO. Nice looking phone.

      You need to get yourself updated on the current state of ARM processors.

      Most of the ARM-based processors from major chipmakers targeted for mobile use (phones, tablets) will have the GPU (and often RAM) stacked onto the processor.

      In the case of the APQ8064, it’s paired with Qualcomm’s most current GPU, the Adreno 320. In other words, you’re not going to do any better performance-wise, circa late 2012.

    Any chance of the phone coming to UK sometimes in next year? Also any idea of a UK pricing?

    Some interesting bits of info on the forum.

    e.g. Stores worldwide, potentially direct internet sales, which bits of the case are plastic, 32GB model on the way.
