Complete screen for OPPO Find X5

Complete OPPO Find X5 screen

You drop your Find X5 and the screen cracks from corner to corner. Sometimes the glass stays intact, but the touchscreen starts acting up or an annoying vertical green line appears and won’t go away. This complete screen assembly for OPPO Find X5 gets your phone back to its former condition in an afternoon, without paying for labour. It’s a new, Premium-quality part designed for model PFFM10.

The assembly comes ready-fitted as a single unit: the display panel, touchscreen layer and flex cable that connects to the board. There’s no need to separate layers or glue on loose glass. Disconnect the old part, connect the new one and test it.

Your OPPO Find X5 screen should live up to everything it’s designed to display

The Find X5 is no ordinary phone. It comes with a 6.55-inch display with FHD+ resolution of 2400 × 1080, a pixel density of 402 ppi, a 120 Hz refresh rate and 10-bit colour, displaying over a billion shades and supporting HDR10+. That’s why a cheap replacement becomes noticeable as soon as you open your gallery, and why at iLevante we choose a Premium panel for this model.

Here are the brightness specifications for this screen:

• Typical brightness: 450 nits, more than enough indoors and for everyday use.
• High Brightness Mode (HBM): 720 nits, which switches on automatically with auto-brightness when you’re outdoors.
• Peak brightness: 900 nits for HDR content.

It retains the same smooth performance, so you won’t notice any stuttering when scrolling, gaming or flicking through photos. A practical tip from the iLevante team: after replacing the screen, check in Settings that the refresh rate is set to ‘High’, as ColorOS may revert to 60 Hz after some restarts.

Replace your OPPO Find X5 screen yourself, with confidence

It’s worth saying that repairing a 2022 smartphone isn’t child’s play. Still, with patience and the right tools, replacing the OPPO Find X5 screen is manageable for anyone with a bit of DIY experience. To help you get started, your order includes a free screwdriver kit and a FREE screen protector to protect your new display from day one.

Before you pick up the opening pick, bear this in mind: if the glass is badly shattered, cover it with packing tape. This helps prevent cuts to your fingers and shards from flying off when you apply heat.

How to install your new OPPO Find X5 screen

1. Switch the phone off completely and remove the SIM tray.
2. Work on a clean surface and, if possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap. AMOLED connectors are delicate.
3. Apply heat evenly, at around 80°C, using a low-power heat gun or a hairdryer. Take your time: several short passes are better than holding the heat in one spot for too long.
4. Attach a suction cup, lift the screen slightly and insert the opening pick. The Find X5 has slightly curved edges, so insert the pick only a little way and don’t use it to lever against the glass. This is where screens are most likely to break during removal.
5. Always disconnect the battery first, then disconnect the screen flex cable. Never do it the other way round.
6. Thoroughly clean the frame with isopropyl alcohol and tweezers to remove any adhesive and glass residue. The new screen will only sit properly, without bumps or lifted edges, if the frame is clean.
7. Connect the new screen without gluing it in place yet, switch the phone on and check the image, touchscreen (especially the corners) and brightness.
8. If everything works, switch the phone off, apply B-7000 or T-7000-type adhesive around the edges, fit the assembly and hold it in place with elastic bands or clamps for at least 60 minutes.

The Find X5 has an IP54 rating for splash resistance. Once you open the phone, that protection depends on how well you seal it again. Apply adhesive all the way around without leaving gaps, and still take care when using the phone near water.

The in-display fingerprint reader: a detail most people don’t mention

The Find X5 reads your fingerprint using an optical sensor located under the display. After replacing the screen, the reader may not recognise your saved fingerprints, which can be worrying. In most cases, simply delete your saved fingerprints and register them again, placing your finger in different positions. Our technicians recommend doing this as soon as the screen is installed, before putting the phone in its case.

Does your OPPO Find X5 need a screen replacement? Here’s how to tell

Sometimes the impact damage is obvious and there’s no doubt about it. Other times, the glass looks intact but the damage is underneath. Look out for these signs:

• Black or purple spots that gradually spread.
• Areas where the touchscreen doesn’t respond, or ghost touches that open apps by themselves.
• Vertical green or coloured lines. This is a known issue with several Find X series panels. OPPO even offered free screen replacements in China for four years from the date of purchase. Outside that campaign, the solution is the same: replace the complete screen assembly.
• Flickering when the brightness is low.

To check the touchscreen without any tools, the iLevante team uses this trick:

1. Go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times to enable Developer options.
2. In Developer options, enable ‘Pointer location’.
3. Draw lines across the entire screen. If a line breaks anywhere, the digitiser is damaged and the screen assembly needs replacing.

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, order your screen now: the sooner you replace it, the lower the risk of moisture getting through a crack and reaching the board.

OPPO Find X5 screen price and delivery

The price shown above includes VAT. Delivery costs depend on the option you choose at checkout. Your part is carefully packed and protected to make sure it arrives intact, along with the screwdriver kit and free screen protector.

How to look after your new OPPO Find X5 screen

The original screen used Gorilla Glass Victus, a type of glass designed to withstand drops of up to around two metres onto hard surfaces. Even so, the curved edges are its weak point. Fit the free screen protector as soon as you’ve finished the repair and pair it with a case that has a raised edge extending slightly above the front of the screen. That way, if the phone lands face down, the case and protector take the impact instead of the screen.

Not sure whether it’s compatible? Check the model under Settings > About phone. If it says PFFM10, this is the OPPO Find X5 screen you need. Add it to your basket and get your Find X5 ready for another couple of years.
