China's "Fifth Element" Heads West

  • PDF

Oppo, Chinese maker of fairly impressive video hardware, launches a fine-looking smartphone headed for Western release-- the Find 5, a slim Android handset with a 1080p display and impressive specs.

Find 5Alongside the 5-inch 1920 x 1080 resolution IPS touchscreen (with a 3.25mm bezel), the Find 5 carries a quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 2GB RAm, 2500mAh battery and NFC connectivity complete with two appropriate tags.

The operating system is Android 4.1.2, aka Jelly Bean.

Oppo claims it has a couple of firsts when it comes to smartphone cameras and audio-- a 13MP rear-facing camera with hardware-enabled HDR photography and video and Dirac HD (a technology used by BMW, Bentley, Rolls Royce and Datasat) audio.

However the device is let somewhat down by a lack of microSD slot and just 16GB of internal storage.

The Find 5 should hit select European markets sometime in early 2013.
