We subjected the Oppo Find X5 Pro to our rigorous SBMARK battery test suite to measure its performance in terms of range, charging and efficiency. In these test results, we will analyze how it fared in a variety of tests and several common use cases.

Overview

Key specs:

  • Battery capacity: 5000mAh
  • 80W charger (included)
  • 6.7-inch, 120Hz OLED display
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset
  • ROM / RAM combination tested: 256GB + 12GB

Pros

  • Excellent charging time, taking 23 minutes and 25 seconds to fill 80% of the battery capacity
  • Exceptional wireless charging experience
  • Excellent charging efficiency
  • On average, 6 hours and 15 minutes of use are recovered after charging the phone for 5 minutes
  • Better than its predecessor overall

Cons

  • Battery life during calls and streaming music is below average
  • The remaining power when the smartphone is connected or disconnected is high

The Oppo Find X5 Pro offers an exceptional charging experience, both wired and wireless, which gives it the highest Charging score to date in the ultra-premium segment. A real monster in charge!
But the trade-off is that for this price range the autonomy is average, offering up to 2 days of autonomy with moderate use. Even so, battery life isn’t bad, considering such impressive specs usually consume a lot of power.
Thanks to a larger battery and better efficiency, the Oppo Find X5 Pro showed better overall performance than its predecessor, the Find X3 Pro.

But when the Oppo Find X5 Pro is compared to other phones in our database, it turns out to be an overall average device, with weak efficiency and runtimes that are slightly below average. However, very few phones can compare to the X5 Pro when it comes to charging, where it ranks among the best devices.

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is an ultra premium device that focuses on the charging experience, in which it excels but at the expense of autonomy, which is average. Other devices, such as the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, will result in better battery life, but at the expense of a great charging experience.

Test summary

About SBMARK Battery Tests: For the score and analysis in our smartphone battery reviews, SBMARK engineers perform a series of objective tests over a period of one week both indoors and outdoors. (See our introductory article and how we test articles for more details on our Smartphone Battery Protocol.)

How the autonomy score is composed

The range score is made up of three performance sub-scores: stationary, moving, and calibrated use cases. Each sub-score includes the results of a full range of tests to measure autonomy in all kinds of real-life scenarios.

A robot housed in a Faraday cage performs a series of touch-based user actions during what we call our “typical use scenario” (TUS) – making calls, streaming video, etc. – 4 hours of active use over a 16-hour period, plus 8 hours of “sleep”. The robot repeats this series of actions every day until the device is discharged.

Using a smartphone on the go puts a strain on autonomy due to additional “hidden” needs, such as the continuous signaling associated with the selection of the cellular network. SBMARK Battery experts take the phone outdoors and perform a well-defined set of activities following the same three-hour travel itinerary (walking, taking the bus, the subway …) for each device

Calibrated

For this series of tests, the smartphone returns to the Faraday cage and ours robots repeatedly perform actions related to a specific use case (such as games, video streaming, etc.) at a time. Starting at an 80% charge, all devices are tested until they have consumed at least 5% of the battery charge.

How the Charge score is composed

Charging is completely part of the overall battery experience. In some situations where battery life is minimal, knowing how fast you can charge becomes a problem. The SBMARK battery charge score consists of two secondary scores, (1) Full charge and (2) Quick boost.

Full charge

105

Full charge tests evaluate the reliability of the battery charge indicator; measure how long and how much energy the battery takes to charge from zero to 80% capacity, 80 to 100% as shown by the user interface, and up to an actual full charge.

Two graphs below illustrate the full charge performance of the smartphone: (1) The charging curves, in wired and wireless mode (if available) which show the evolution of the battery level indicator as well as the power consumption in watts during charging phases towards full capacity.
(2) The full charge time graph breaks down the time it takes to reach 80%, 100% and full charge.

The charging curves, in wired and wireless mode (if available) show the evolution of the battery level indicator as well as the energy consumption in watts during the charging phases towards full capacity.

With the phone at different charge levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), Quick boost tests measure the amount of charge the battery receives after being plugged in for 5 minutes. The graph here compares the average runtime gain from a 5 minute quick charge.

Efficiency

How the efficiency score is composed

The SBMARK energy efficiency score consists of two secondary scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, which combine both data obtained during a typical use scenario based on robots, calibrated tests and charge evaluation, taking into account the battery capacity of the device . SBMARK calculates the annual energy consumption of the product, shown in the graph below, which is representative of the overall efficiency during charging and in use.

Charge Up

86

Improve

Highest score

The secondary charge score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, relative to the amount of energy needed to fill the battery versus the energy the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to the phone; the residual consumption when the phone is fully charged and still connected to the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The graph below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in%.

Discharge

58

Apple iPhone 13 Pro

The discharge secondary score evaluates the discharge rate of a battery during a test, which is independent of the battery capacity. It is the ratio of the capacity of a battery divided by its autonomy. A small capacity battery may have the same runtime as a large capacity battery, indicating that the device is well optimized, with a low discharge rate.
