Oppo Find 5 gets a US info site - $499 nets you Droid DNA specs but a much larger battery
The SIM-free Oppo Find 5 can be had in the good ol' USA, too, for $499 - a bit higher than the $478 we heard at first, but we'll chalk it off to the exchange rate flux, while in China it seems to go for $399 on preorder now.

Considering this thing has Droid DNA-like specs, complete with the quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro, and that sweet 5" Full HD display, it may or may not be a bad deal, depending on the build quality.

The Oppo Find 5 can be examined through a pretty basic Oppo USA website, which doesn't yet allow you to order, and also has 16 GB of internal memory plus 2 GB of RAM, like the Droid DNA, but there's no word on warranty details.

Its radio, however, supports both the T-Mobile and AT&T HSPA+ networks, and the handsets sports a generous 2,500 mAh battery, way larger than the 2,020 mAh unit on the Droid DNA. Whether or not this will translate to much better battery life, remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain - the Chinese are really stepping up their game in the world of high-end Androids. The official unveiling of the Oppo Find 5 will be December 12 in Beijing.

Check Oppo's source link for the full spec sheet and order details, if you want to be brave and exotic carrying around a high-end monster that (almost) nobody will have. Guaranteed.

The design is superb.Looks like concept design.

6. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 05 Dec 2012, 04:50 2 11

Looks like a Sony

19. Raymond_htc posted on 05 Dec 2012, 06:16 4

Sony aint coming as close to this.
This design is so minimalistic, yet nice at the same time

20. kevkyle posted on 05 Dec 2012, 06:42 3

that is one STUNNING design - am an architect - having an aesthetic orgasm just right about now", )

Oppan Find 5 style

2. Izzy_V posted on 05 Dec 2012, 04:26 6

Oppo needs to give design tips to the other Android manufacturers. This phone looks great.

37. AnTuTu posted on 05 Dec 2012, 21:54

M gonna buy this as soon as this comes out. What a beauty man :)

3. redmd posted on 05 Dec 2012, 04:31 5 1

looks like LG on front, Sony on back. Oppo is inspired.

4. F5AllMobileWebsite posted on 05 Dec 2012, 04:33 1

even though i care about warranty but for many years now i have not send any smartphone for warranty.

5. marchels14 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 04:44

Awesome design from the front but the back looks a bit cheap,specs are great too, this is how a simple and stylish phone looks like.

7. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 05 Dec 2012, 04:52 3

Resolution is 1 thing, can the screen quality match DNA?

And the CPU looks suspect too, but good try nevertherless.

9. ahmed_ali_yossef2010 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 04:59

if it's even not it's just 500 $ man

15. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 05 Dec 2012, 05:15

By the time Oppo reaches the US market I think DNA can be even cheaper than $500.

16. Hemlocke posted on 05 Dec 2012, 05:17 4

It's the same screen from Sharp that the DNA has, and it is the same SoC (APQ8064).

18. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 05 Dec 2012, 06:13 3

Screen quality depends a lot on color calibration, and one company can do a better job than another with the same screen.

Yeah, the CPU is the same but Oppo obviously lacks LTE

21. MistB posted on 05 Dec 2012, 06:53 3

Its pretty obvious you dont like it because of where it comes from.

32. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 05 Dec 2012, 10:45

u r right, I don't think the Chinese can make better phones than HTC and Sony, maybe later not now.

You guys look at pictures not real thing. I heard a lot of noise about Oppo but they still haven't released any serious phones yet.

39. GUNDAM posted on 07 Dec 2012, 07:03

im sure you realise that htc is a Taiwanese company??

25. SleepingOz posted on 05 Dec 2012, 08:08 3

What a biased statement!

Oppo Gangnam Style. Op op op op op

LOL

11. wendygarett (limited) 5 days ago posted on 05 Dec 2012, 05:02 2

Wait did pa mention 1080p?

13. someones4 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 05:06

it is 1080p as mentioned by PA in previous articles.

27. g2a5b0e posted on 05 Dec 2012, 08:51 4

Still afraid of getting eye cancer?

12. someones4 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 05:05 1 1

It's legen..wait for it...DARY!!!
A complete masterpiece.
Based on aesthetics at least. Chinese goods aren't exactly known for their quality product.

14. darkskoliro posted on 05 Dec 2012, 05:14

Bigger batter =/= better life.

DNA > optimus G and N4 and S3 while having a smaller battery.

But who knows, loving this device!!

I am waiting for phonearena review

22. Thephonegeek posted on 05 Dec 2012, 07:24

The phone looks super cool. But it's name is stupid.
First the brand name oppo, what is it oppa gangnam style something. Then "find", what kind of model name is that. Droid DNA has a ridiculously cool name.

23. ajac09 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 07:34 1

your name is stupid to but no one seems to be complaining.

26. Thephonegeek posted on 05 Dec 2012, 08:12 1

Haha. My name is stupid. What's stupid about it?

29. ajac09 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 08:57 1 2

Would love on screen keys here. However I'm more interested to see how small of a form factor they threw all the tech goodness in.

30. Thephonegeek posted on 05 Dec 2012, 09:18

Sometimes stupidity is funny. Haha. Atleast my name has a meaning.

31. Berzerk000 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 09:19 1

That design is beautiful.

33. monkeytown posted on 05 Dec 2012, 11:39

awesome design and very thin bezel :D
should sell it´s designs to samsung

34. jaytai0106 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 11:43

2500? Not enough... They need to stop putting an battery is enough for an average use... We the consumers need a much bigger battery. Please start putting in 3000+ mAh. 5000 mAh will be ideal :D

35. JC557 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 15:21

That's great, hopefully they can be a up and coming player in the US market. This way the Oppo can be made available on Verizon =D

Of course it remains to be seen on build quality, reliability and software.(if they customized it).

36. MC1123 posted on 05 Dec 2012, 19:12
