Design and Quality
The phone carries in typical Oppo packaging having white box that carries Oppo logo on its top. The build of the device is very nice. The phone doesn’t feel heavy and fits perfectly nice in hand. The screen though is not full HD but qHD is also nicely integrated here. The phone provides decent grip. Towards the front, there is an earpiece grill on the top and to its right is the front facing camera. At the lower bottom resides the three capacitive navigation buttons. The power button is located at the left side. At the top there is also 3.5mm headphone jack and the volume rocker is situated towards the left. The microUSB port is situated at the bottom. The back camera resides at the middle of the back and the LED flash below the camera. The back cover has diamond cut design as called by Oppo placed below the plastic panel.
OS and Tech
The OS this device runs is Color OS v1.0.0i which is based on an old Android OS i.e. v4.2 Jelly Beans. Though the performance remains smooth with this OS but under heavy multitasking the performance degradation is clearly observed. The ColorOS does somewhat better job here but Oppo needs to upgrade the OS to give it flawless performance.
Camera and Multimedia
Though the rear camera has limited resolution but Oppo has integrated 2nd-gen BSI CMOS sensor of Sony which is a good thing. The camera does a decent job. The day time picture are of good quality and even some images of night time are also outstanding though the camera doesn’t perform well always for the night shots. The front camera has limited functionality and its performance is not up to the mark. The rear camera also records decent quality videos but the movements are prominent if done in fast mode.
Battery and Memory
The battery provided is sufficient for the day long use under normal conditions but for heavy mobile users, who prefer enjoying heavy games, downloads etc. need to recharge it at least once in mid-day. The RAM is limited to 1GB and the internal storage is also reduced here to 4GB even though it is further extendable up to 32GB. Due to limitations in internal storage, many apps may not get installed to internal storage but the phone allows installation on secondary storage. The limited RAM also affects the performance of the device.
Pros and Cons
For pros:
· Good design and good quality finish
· Comfortable in hand
· Nice working rear camera
For cons:
· Auto brightness of the phone is not good
· Old OS which needs upgradation
· Many preinstalled apps are there in device taking a lot of space

Verdict
Many people though love Oppo Find 5 Mini for its solid grip and beautiful design. But the performance gets disturbed due to many factors like limited RAM, OS and processor. The rear camera though works nicely but the front camera has no performance at all. Even then the price is set high for the device.
