OPPO FindX5 Pro leaks – could this be 2022’s best Android smartphone?

The OPPO FindX5 Pro leaks are coming thick and fast, heralding a global release during the Mobile World Congress between February 28 to March 3, 2022. OPPO has skipped the X4 moniker to avoid that unlucky Chinese number.

The OPPO FindX3 Pro got CyberShack’s vote as the best flagship in 2021. That is not to say the other flagship, Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra was deficient in any way. It is just that the OPPO was class-leading in almost every area, including using a Qualcomm SD888 System-on-a-Chip over Samsung’s Exynos 2100 SoC.

If you believe the OPPO FindX5 Pro leaks, it is looking every bit the winner – although Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series is coming on February 10. Note all images are renders – not actual photos.

CyberShack view – OPPO FindX5 Pro leaks portend a 2022 flagship winner

Flagships show what is possible at the current level of technology and price. There are a lot of innovations in this – the cameras in particular and the 80W fast charge sounds awesome.

If the price is similar to the FindX3 Pro (was $1499), then this will be hard to beat.
