The OPPO Find N5 is a fantastic phone, but there are some key differences between the global and Chinese versions. This article breaks down those differences, so you can make an informed decision about which version is right for you.
Key Differences:
Android Auto: Works on both versions, including wireless connectivity
Google Gemini: Works on the Chinese version, but requires downloading the app from the Google Play Store. To get the Google Play Store on the Chinese version, go to settings, accounts, toggle on Google, then download the Google Play Store from the Oppo App Store.
O Plus Connect: This feature allows connection to MacBooks for remote control, screen mirroring, and faster file transfers, and it works on both versions.
Google Pay: Works on both versions, but some banks may require the Curve app for NFC payments.
Google Location Tracking/Timeline: Works fine on the Chinese version.
Smartwatch Connectivity: Most smartwatches (OnePlus, Apple, Samsung) do not connect to the Chinese version. Garmin and Cosbet watches connect seamlessly to both versions.
Hardware: Both versions are exactly the same in terms of dimensions, battery, chipset, and screens.
5G Data Speeds: The Chinese ROM may result in slower 5G speeds compared to the global version.
Price: The Chinese version is approximately $300 cheaper than the global version.
