Oppo Find X5 series officially confirmed with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

After countless leaks and rumors, we finally have a date to wait for the Oppo Find X5 series launch. One of the hottest smartphone brands in the world is about to reveal its next big thing for the flagship market. The big reveal comes on February 24 and we expect at least two premium handsets. These devices will be the Oppo Find X5 and the Oppo Find X5 Pro. Thanks to a couple of leaks, we know partially what we can expect from these two handsets. There are even rumors about a third smartphone, Oppo Find X5 Lite, but that would be a rebranded Reno7 series smartphone. Today, to complete the figure we have, Oppo is confirming some important details on the Oppo Find X5 series.

Oppo officially confirms some details

Today, the Chinese brand has confirmed the key specs of the handset. A couple of new teasers confirm the presence of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor alongside the MariSilicon X NPU. To those unaware, the latter was unveiled in December last year during the company's INNO Day 2021. It's a neural processing unit that works to ensure the best photography in these flagships.

This is the first time that Oppo officially confirms the processor inside of its smartphone. Of course, the company has a long tradition of using Qualcomm flagship chipsets on its smartphones, but this time will be slightly different. Since the beginning of this year, we know that at least one of the Oppo Find X5 series will bring the Dimensity 9000. After all, MediaTek went ahead with Oppo to confirm this fact. However, much to our surprise, it seems that the Oppo Find X5 Pro will have variants with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Dimensity 9000. We don't know exactly how Oppo will split these variants, but the latter might come as Dimensity Edition. Previously, rumors have been pointing to the Dimensity 9000 on the vanilla variant, but it seems to be coming with the Snapdragon 888 or SD888+.

Oppo Find X5 Pro specifications

The Find X5 Pro global variant will feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 2K resolution. The company will use the LTPO 2.0 technology for a variable refresh rate of 1 Hz to 120 Hz. The curved screen will also support HDR 10+ content.

Moving around to the back, we have a triple-camera setup. It comprises a primary sensor with 50 MP resolution, there is also a 50 MP snapper for ultrawide shots, and a 13 MP telephoto lens. For selfies and video calls, the phone brings a 32 MP Sony IMX709 snapper. The device will draw its powers from a 5,000 mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC charging, and 50 wireless charging.
