so the name oppo might not mean a whole lot to you but they recently released their find five android smartphone and this is the video review so let's check it out the fine 5 is rocking some serious flagship specs it has a 5-inch 1080p screen 2 gigs ram a one-and-a-half gig quad core processor Android 4.1 jellybean NFC Bluetooth and the 2500 milliamp battery so it's not messing around the design of the fine 5 is really masculine without seeming macho which is a big bonus for anybody out there looking for a manly phone that doesn't quite look like a talked a track with a bunch of added ugly plastic it's strong clean lines are really impressive the volume controls for the fine v sit on the right hand of the phone the microUSB charging port is on the bottom and the power button actually sits on the left hand side which was a welcome change from the all buttons on one side of the phone design we've been seeing recently there's a three-and-a-half millimeter headphone jack on top and a 13 megapixel shooter with a dual LED flash on the back which sits above a speaker grille so the screen is probably the very best part of the fine 5 it is stunning ACOs done a really great job of celebrating it here with an almost edge-to-edge design and you'll never feel cheated or disappointed when you're looking at the fine 5 screen if you have meteor palms that edge to edge design might be a little bit of a problem but overall it's a minor inconvenience the processor in ram would suggest that this is a really speedy phone but if I'm being completely honest there is some lag from time to time while using the device I'm not sure if that's due to the UX being optimized improperly but even putting the device to sleep has a little bit of a delay to it sometimes which is a little bit odd especially when looking at the fine 5 specs on paper navigating the device is usually smooth but I figured I would mention that lag as it does pop up from time to time speaking of which let's talk about that UX and the rest of the fine 5 software so the Oppo find 5 runs Android 4.1.1 jelly bean right out of the box we don't know yet when or if Oppo plans to upgrade to Android 4.3 but they have been pretty good about regular patching for bugs is on this phone so we're hopeful about an update to Android sooner rather than later ah pose UX on the other hand is quite frankly pretty garish the widgets are too much of everything and they clash with the elegance of the phone's external look the lockscreen is also super annoying with a revolving door type of deal and no initial instruction on how to unlock it so sure it'll take you a couple seconds to figure out but it can be a bit inconsistent and that's never good for a simple task like unlocking your phone in happier news there isn't a lot of pre-installed bloatware on the fine 5 which is really nice and that's likely because the device ships unlocked without any carrier partners to mess it up with third-party apps yay the fine 5 employees a 13 megapixel camera which landed around above-average on a scale of Port excellent it was good enough at snapping decent photos and recording 1080p video but we weren't totally blown away especially now that we're used to using custom camera software and hardware combos from HTC and Nokia overall it's not the best camera out there but it's not the worst by any means if you want a killer camera the iPhone 5 has that wide selection of apps the HTC One has its video highlights feature and even the Nokia Lumia 1020 has that pure megapixel power as for call quality and data call sound really good on this device the speakerphone is super loud and HSPA speeds here in Irvine were more than sufficient for our needs looking at benchmarking the fine v pulled numbers in the low 7000 range which isn't anything to write home about especially considering other 2013 Android flagships like the galaxy s4 and the HTC One we're pulling almost double those numbers and clocking in around 12 the 13,000 ouch we're sorry to report the battery life on the fine 5 is not the best you're probably looking at 6 hours max if you're a power user but if you're a light to moderate user with a solid Wi-Fi connection most of your day the phone will make it until you get home it's possible that part of this poor battery life is tied to the custom UX and how it handles everything but whatever the cause is if you've been using a phone like the HTC One with mega battery life you'll be pretty disappointed in the fine 5s battery life overall the Oppo find 5 is a phone that looks great on the outside and on paper but performs under what it should be the good news is that that Oppo is really involved with and supportive of the Android dev community and so this is a really great competitor or even an upgrade to the Nexus 4 I'm sure if you had CyanogenMod running on this bone it would provide a really great Android enthusiast experience so I'm gonna give the Oppo find five a score of seven oh that's our video review of the Oppo find five and for more information and to read the full review the full text of our review make sure to check out the link below thanks guys see you next
