Oppo Find X5 vs Oppo Find X5 Lite
Our Verdict: The Find X5 and Find X5 Lite launched together: the X5 is the standard model and the X5 Lite the higher-end one. The X5 Lite leads on camera hardware with a 64MP main sensor to the X5's 50MP, and the X5 Lite is the lighter phone at 173g against 196g. Only the X5 has a water-resistance rating (IP53); the X5 Lite has none. Only pay up for the X5 Lite if you'll use what it offers; if not, the X5 makes more sense.
Buying outright, the X5 starts at £160 SIM-free.
