Beside regular shooting mode, night shooting or scene shooting in sunset, sport format, Oppo also equips its smartphone the heavier features than the rivals in the same price range such as HDR, Rewind, Burstshot, Panorama or Beauty Plus.

The rear camera of Find Way can take 5 continuous shots at high speed, and capable of shooting continuously then allowing users to edit the portrait by their taste, which is alike Time Shift on BlackBerry Z10 or Smart Camera of the Nokia Lumia line.

However, the most interesting shooting mode on Find Way is Beauty Plus. Combined with the 5megapixel front-facing camera, Find Way is the smartphone which has the incredibly interesting shooting mode to the women. The front-facing camera off the device has wide angle, offering space that can capture lots of subjects, face without taking the camera as far as many other smartphones.

High-res sensor helps to make the image detailed, good-colored and nice even when using the front-facing camera. Beauty Plus modes makes the “self-shooting” portrait become sleeker and more glistening, when the camera automatically smoothen and whiten the skin, the face looks daintily slender without using the 3rd software.

The front-facing camera of Find Way offers high quality and it’s attractive, but main 8megapixel camera on the rear doesn’t leave much impression. Being not inferior, even better than the rivals having the same price range such as Xperia J, Desire X or Galaxy S3 Mini in terms of feature, res but when comparing to other smartphone which is capable of shooting in 8 "pixel", image quality on Find Way is at the fair level, detail is fine but colors and lights are not actually good.

The product is superior in filming feature, with both front and rear cameras supporting recording at res of HD 720p with the speed of 30fps.

Performance and battery life

Oppo Find Way has good technical specs in such price range when using 1.2 GHz dual core chip, RAM 1 GB. Compared to the competitions belonging to the same price range such as Sony Xperia J, Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini or LG Optimus L7, L9, performance of Find Way is at the same level or even higher.

With Antutu Benchmark rating, Find Way also reaches higher score with more than 7,000 score, overpassing S3 Mini (over 5.000) score, Xperia J and the dual of LG.

Practical use shows that Find Way can meet the currently using demand on smartphone well, from web surfing, HD movie watching to gaming or working with the office apps on the mobile phone.

However, the custom interface of Oppo makes the device not run actually smooth, swapping pages or operations such as touch, press on the touch screen stuttering in some points or having mild delay. Purposed that you change to another interface (such as Nova Laucher), stuttering is no longer appear, which shows that the problem is on the software. Regular use, the damaged RAM amount regularly stays at 400 to 500 MB in a total of 1 GB.

One more highlight is that Find Way seems to be hot when performing heavy tasks. The heat dissipation position sits right under the camera. Though, the area is not large enough so it doesn’t affect much when holding and using regularly with one hand, but it’s still able of causing a little discomfort if users put the device into their pocket right after using.
