Oppo Find X5 Pro review: slick Android let down by weak camera zoom

Great performance and battery life, held back by cost, camera and lack of software polish

The latest high-end smartphone from China's Oppo aims to usurp Samsung as the best Android phone launched in 2022 with serious speed and a luxurious ceramic back that's almost too smooth.

The Find X5 Pro costs 1,049 and won't be sold in the US. It replaces last year's Find X3 Pro (there was no X4) and is packed with all the things you expect from a top-flight phone.
