The company normally issues three models in each series, with the last having been in the Find X3 line. There was no X4 as the word for "four" has a similar sound to the Chinese word for "death."
The Lite looks like any of the Oppo's other models, weighing in at 173 grammes. A plastic case is included in the box, but this is standard issue, and nothing special as in the case of the X5 Pro.
The 6.43-inch AMOLED display has an FHD resolution of 2400x1080p, with 8-bit colour depth and 409PPI. It is clear and easy on the eye, though in bright light things cannot be seen that easily.

Photos taken indoors are not the best.
The rear cameras stand out from the back, with a 64MP main camera, 8MP ultra wide-angle camera and 2MP macro camera. These give acceptable pictures when the light is good but indoors the photos come out a bit dull as can be seen.
The degree of zooming in is somewhat limited and anything more than 2x does not yield acceptable results. The front has a 32MP selfie camera.
Like the other two devices in this series, the Lite supports 5G. In Australia, 5G is yet to be available at prices that the common man can afford, but the 4G network is very good, hence this is not a worry.
The Find X5 Lite is built atop a MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC and has 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage space. Virtual memory can also be used by the operating system, so there is no fear of memory slowing down operations.
There are two refresh speeds, 90Hz and the standard 60Hz. In-screen fingerprint security is available, as also facial recognition and the standard numeric lock. There is no advertised water or dust-proofing.
The model sent to me for review was the Startrails Blue one; the rear of this does not accumulate fingerprint marks easily.
There is space for two SIMs and also an SD card. The operating system is Android 11 over which is Oppo's ColorOS 12. The Lite model sold in Australia has a standard earphone jack.
The device is available in two colours: Starry Black and Startrails Blue. It is being sold at Vodafone and Optus (black only), JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Officeworks, The Good Guys, Big W, Wireless1, Woolworths Mobile, Catch, Kogan, TeleChoice, Yes Distribution, Amazon, MobileCiti, Bing Lee, Australia Post and Retravision.
