Been looking for a new phone to replace my Moto RAZR.
Looking at the oppo find 5.

I have read multiple reviews and they all seem favourable.
Is there any alternates worth considering?
Any options from the tech professionals would be appreciated :)
Cheaper from the source.
Better screen and greater usable screen area than Xperia Z. Higher contrast, wider viewing angles, hardware rather than onscreen buttons. No waterproofing obviously but louder speakers as a consequence. Not much custom development either.
Seems a lot to pay for a China Phone. Only 4.1 and you know that when you buy a China phone you are the unpaid beta tester.
This review says it's savage on batteries and had some jerk, lag and stutter:

It's cheaper here direct from China:
i wanted to use my 28 degrees with buyer protection to claim and price drops but it might be cheaper buying from china
Watch the video review from MKBHD:

It's a good review. Better buy from Mobicity since you'll get warranty from them instead of somewhere in China.
Oppo 5 is like the Xperia Z of all China branded phones.
MKBHD also made a video recently highlighting the ongoing new software features Oppo is giving to the Find 5. The phone has been getting a lot of OTA updates so it is well supported. Cannot dismiss is another Sanzai phone.
That bloke is a good salesman. He's got me interested.
Thinking of getting the black 32gb from oppo style. The warranty they provide seems reasonable.
Thanks for the input everyone =)
The price is somewhat comparable to the Sony Xperia Z. I haven't looked at reviews for either of them, but I'm fairly certain they are quite similar (5 inch, quad core, full HD resolution) but the Sony packs a lot more features as well, like water / dust proofing and 13mpx camera.
