Oppo Find X5
- Significantly faster 80W wired charging
- Faster wireless charging (30W)
- Slightly better battery endurance rating
- Chipset potentially less efficient than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
- Regional availability may be limited
Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G
- Brighter display for better outdoor visibility
- Potentially more efficient chipset (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 variant)
- Wider availability and established ecosystem
- Slower charging speeds (45W wired, 15W wireless)
- Exynos variant may exhibit thermal throttling
Display Comparison
The Samsung Galaxy S22+ boasts a substantial advantage in display brightness, reaching a measured 1214 nits compared to the Oppo Find X5’s 807 nits. This translates to superior visibility under direct sunlight. Both displays share an 'Infinite' (nominal) contrast ratio, typical of OLED panels, but the S22+'s higher peak brightness makes a tangible difference in real-world usage. While both likely employ LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates (not explicitly stated in the data, but standard for this class), the S22+'s panel is demonstrably brighter, benefiting content consumption and outdoor usability.
Camera Comparison
Both devices feature capable camera systems, but detailed sensor information is lacking in the provided data. Assuming typical flagship configurations, the S22+'s potential for a larger main sensor (common in Samsung flagships) and more refined image processing algorithms could yield superior image quality, particularly in low-light conditions. The inclusion of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) is expected on both, but the specifics of its implementation would influence performance. The data doesn't provide enough detail to differentiate beyond general expectations of flagship-level photo and video capabilities.
Performance
The chipset choice is a key differentiator. The Oppo Find X5 utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 (5nm), while the Galaxy S22+ comes in two variants: the Exynos 2200 (4nm) in Europe and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4nm) in other regions. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, built on a 4nm process, generally offers better thermal efficiency and sustained performance compared to the 5nm Snapdragon 888. The Exynos 2200 has faced criticism for potential throttling under sustained load. The S22+'s CPU, featuring a Cortex-X2 prime core (2.8GHz/3.0GHz depending on region), offers a slight architectural advantage over the Find X5’s Cortex-X1 (2.84GHz). Both phones utilize LPDDR5 RAM, but the S22+'s potential for a more efficient chipset gives it an edge in demanding tasks.
Battery Life
The Oppo Find X5 holds a slight edge in battery endurance with a rating of 108 hours, compared to the Galaxy S22+'s 97 hours. However, this is heavily influenced by charging speed. The Find X5’s 80W wired charging is significantly faster than the S22+'s 45W, allowing for a full charge in a fraction of the time. The Find X5 also offers 30W wireless and 10W reverse wireless charging, exceeding the S22+'s 15W wireless and 4.5W reverse wireless capabilities. While the S22+ may have a slightly larger battery capacity (not specified in the data), the Find X5’s charging speed is a compelling advantage for users who frequently need to top up their device.
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Find X5 if you prioritize incredibly fast charging and are comfortable with potentially sourcing the device from specific regions. Its 80W wired and 30W wireless charging capabilities are unmatched in this comparison. Buy the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G if you value a brighter, more vibrant display, a more widely available and potentially more thermally stable chipset (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1), and a more established software ecosystem.
