Smart Android And Trik-Commenting on Andorid indeed never endless, because smart devices this one is often updated every certain amount of time. So that the market can always be garapnya menerinya with pleasure. And it is not denied if this device has become the lifestyle of each society. To not wonder if the 6th business information and many are turning to mobail smartphone. With Android which thoroughly dominated the mobile industry, choosing the best Android smartphone is almost identical to choose the best smartphone, period. But while Android phones have few real opponents on other platforms, internal competition is intense.
Introduction
Oppo just held a major announcement event where the Find X2, Find X2 Pro, and the Oppo Watch got unveiled. We got to spend a few hours with the all-out flagship phone Find X2 Pro, and we have some early impression to share.
But first, let's have a quick word on what's inside the new Find. For starters, there's a Snapdragon 865, that one goes without saying. A single RAM/storage configuration of 12/512GB will keep everyone happy, and powering all this is a 4,260mAh battery. Nothing too fancy so far.
Cue in the fancy stuff. The Find X2 Pro has a one of a kind camera system with a 48MP primary cam that's not your run-of-the-mill 48MP cam - it has a much bigger 1/1.43" sensor and 1.12µm pixels as opposed to the mainstream 1/2.0" 0.8µm units. If other phones have this sensor on their main cams, the Find X2 has for its ultra wide-angle cam instead of the usual tiny imager. And then there's the telephoto camera - a 13MP unit with a 5x periscope which is 1x more than the Galaxy S20 Ultra and 5MP more than the P30 Pro.
It doesn't end there, of course. Oppo pulled no punches when it came to the display - the 6.7-inch AMOLED has a 1440p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, and you can have both at the same time, unlike a certain S20 Ultra. The 240Hz touch sampling and HDR10+ capability alongside full DCI-P3 coverage round up a really impressive panel. The one blemish, quite literally, is the cutout for the 32MP selfie cam, but it is what it is.

Camera and display aside, there are other smaller cool bits about the Find X2 Pro. For example, it comes with a 65W charger (technically quite a chunky bit this) inside the box that should fully charge the phone in 38 minutes. There's also an IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, a first for an Oppo smartphone. Stereo speakers are another checkbox ticked.
Okay, let's move on to some hands-on-ing, finally.
Oppo Find X2 Pro hands-on
You couldn't possibly have missed one of the Find X2 Pro's more striking design aspects - the combination of materials and colors on our unit - it's the orange vegan leather version.
'Vegan leather' does sound a lot like wooden iron, but it goes to show that it has the texture and feel of real leather, minus all the animal involvement. The polyurethane does feel super nice on our fingertips and offers a welcome blend of grippiness and luxury - function and form can go together on this occasion. Made us reminisce of the times we first saw the Galaxy Note 3 - not that it felt as soft.
Now, it's not the most universally likable color, and we can see how it could be the preferred option for the gentler half of the population. The rose gold frame does contribute to that sense. The phone even has a metal plate with the brand name on the back, much like a handbag.
Fret not, there's another color version - it's a more technical and more incognito black. It's not just the color that is different, but the material too. Oppo calls it 'Ceramic' and goes on to detail they've used zirconia.
We haven't touched that one in particular, but our previous experience with ceramic-backed phones (Mi Mixes, mostly) has taught us that they're tougher to scratch than glass but even more prone to fingerprints. Perhaps Oppo's 'micron etching process' mitigates that. What we can say for sure is that we appreciate the less attention this version draws to the logo.
It's worth mentioning here that the ceramic variant is 7g heavier (207g vs. 200g), but the leather one is thicker (9.5mm vs. 8.8mm). From our experience with the orange one, we can safely say that it neither feels heavy nor chubby - is it the 'leather' that's giving it an air of effortlessness? We should look around to find a ceramic one to compare.
The phone does handle like a lighter and more compact handset indeed. 6.7 inches of display isn't what it used to be, plus the one on the Find is curved to the sides making for less perceived bulk. How that's going to play out in terms of palm rejection, we'll try and answer in the review.
We do enjoy the nice clicky buttons already. They're in what we would call the 'correct' position - power button on the right, volume controls on the left. Sure, humans can adapt to all sorts of bad ergonomics, but these are just right.
Surveying the Find X2 Pro, you'll note there's no headphone jack. There's no adapter in the retail package either, but the included headset can get you started.
We do appreciate the stereo speakers - there's a primary one on the bottom, which Oppo says has a 0.65cc chamber, while the earpiece up top doubles as a speaker as well. The card tray on the bottom doesn't take microSDs, just a couple of nanoSIMs back to back, but with 512GB on board, we can't imagine anyone needing more.
Circling back to the form vs. function conundrum, we had some guys at the office complain that the Find X2 Pro looks just like any other phone. We can see where this is coming from - the Find X from 2018 had an elevating platform that kept all cameras hidden when not in use and allowed for an uninterrupted display.
The X2 Pro isn't as radical, we'll agree to that. The punch hole for the selfie cam is a bit of an eyesore, in no small part because it's quite further inside the phone to clear the curving display edge.
On the back, there's a sizable camera cluster where the Find X had a flush glass panel. But the Find X2 Pro has imaging aspirations that couldn't fit in a pop-up assembly, so instead, Oppo opted for a more conventional design this time around. And a passing glance at a Galaxy S20 Ultra will tell you that Oppo's done quite well in terms of form following function. Oh, and no moving parts certainly helped the phone get that IP rating - never a bad thing.
Display
The Oppo Find X2 Pro has one very impressive display. It's an AMOLED, meaning infinite contrast and all that - Oppo claims 5,000,000,:1 which is essentially the same. That's par for the course, however, and this AMOLED isn't like most AMOLEDs.
The phone's panel has a native resolution of 1440:3168px in a somewhat weird 19.8:9 aspect ratio (2.2:1 makes it sound a bit more normal), which has resulted in a 513ppi density when stretched across the 6.7-inch diagonal.
Most importatly, however, the display is capable of a 120Hz refresh rate and has a 240Hz touch sampling rate.
It's worth noting, that it's up to you to pick a resolution/refresh rate combo - 1080p or 1440p for the resolution and 60Hz or 120Hz for the refresh rate plus Auto settings for each, in case you'd rather let the phone do the deciding for you. Certain Galaxies can learn a thing or two from this setup.
Oppo says the Find X2 Pro's display is capable of covering the DCI-P3 color gamut to a full 100% and will do so with nearly impeccable accuracy. The display settings aren't entirely clear with both Vivid and Cinematic promising P3 in some form, yet delivering very different output from one another. We'll see what they're all about when we delve deeper into testing.
The press materials promise a maximum brightness of 500nits, which goes up to 800nits under bright ambient light. Small areas of the screen will even be able to go as high as 1200nits when displaying HDR content. Oh, yes, the panel is HDR10+ compliant, too, if we forgot to mention that so far.
Camera
If the display sounds remarkable, wait until you read more about the cameras. It's a tri-cam configuration, which seems like any other on the surface - it's the usual set of a main cam, an ultra-wide and a telephoto module. Yet, what we have here is unlike any other caera setup we've seen before.
The main cam uses a 48MP Quad Bayer sensor, but unlike mainstream 48MP units that you can now find in midrangers a quarter of the Find's price, this one has a larger sensor size. Mind you, it's almost as large as the 108MP imagers in the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Xiaomi Mi Note10 - a type 1/1.42" sensor compared to the 1/1.33" 108MP ones. What gives? This Sony-made IMX689 has bigger individual pixels, measuring 1.12µm, with 0.8µm being the norm. So in default pixel binning mode, you get an effective pixel size of 2.24µm.
It's also got something Oppo calls omni-directional phase-detect autofocus, which sounds a lot like the dual pixel autofocus of days prior - every pixel is supposedly joined bya phase detection agent. It should deliver fast and precise focus on subjects bigger or small, in both good light and low light.
This main camera has a stabilized lens with an f/1.7 aperture. Oppo doesn't specify the focal length of the lens, but we're placing it around a 25-26mm equivalent.
The telephoto is stabilized too, which is a good thing since it's quite long - it's listed as 5x in the camera viewfinder. After matching its field-of-view to a real camera, we're reasonably certain it's got roughly a 120mm equivalent focal length. We could be off in our estimations on one camera or the other as 5 times 25mm equals more than 120mm, but we'll do more in-depth testing. Oppo's marketing department also has the bold '10x hybrid zoom' and '60x digital zoom' levels to work with, but at least such meaningless claims aren't printed on the phone itself like on a certain Galaxy phone.
The telephoto shooter has a 13MP sen,sor and while we did just bash the Galaxy S20 Ultra a little, the Samsung does have a much bigger sensor for its zoom camera than what the Oppo can offer - 1/2.0" on the Galaxy, 1/3.44" on the Find X2 Pro. Naturally, we'll try them side by side.
On the wide end, however, the Find X2 Pro does outdo the Galaxy. Oppo's used a properly big 1/2.0" 48MP Quad Bayer sensor in its ultra wide angle cam which is a win already, but there's more - this camera has autofocus, unlike the fixed-focus ultra wide on the S20 Ultra. It can focus down to 3cm offering some impressive close-up shooting capabilities.
Oppo's fitted laser autofocus on the Find X2 Pro, which we can imagine is only here to help the ultra wide angle camera focus on nearby subjects. Laser will do little for distant subjects you'd be capturing with the telephoto, while the main cam has the omni-directional thing, so that leaves the ultra wide.
There's a dual-LED dual-tone flash on the Find X2 Pro, but with Ultra Night Mode 3.0 on all three cameras, we're speculating the LEDs will be put to use for flashlight purposes more often than for illuminating photo subjects.
Sadly, the software we have running on the Find X2 Pro is pre-production, and we can't be sharing samples from it just yet. We've been told that a review-ready release is on the way as we speak so we'll be sure to head out shooting as soon as the OTA hits our unit.
Software
The Find X2 Pro runs the company's thoroughly customized ColorOS overlay, now in version 7.1, based on Android 10. Certain features that come with the latest OS release will help you know it's 10 and not Pie - like the system-wide dark mode and the more granular location permissions.
Other things are entirely Oppo's own. Gesture navigation, for one, may look like it's basically the same as is natively implemented in the latest Android, but ColorOS actually does it one better. Swipe in from the edges works as 'back' alright, but swipe in and hold, and you get to switch back and forth between the two last used apps - stock Android has no solution for that.
Oppo points out it's opted for more subdued color saturation for system icons and menus, while the UI now offers a choice between three different iconography types. There's a fine set of picturesque wallpapers preloaded too.
A huge part of the software experience on the Find X2 Pro stems from the fluidity of the 120Hz display and the speedy animations. It's always super snappy, and it's something that you can get used to quickly and not want to switch away from.
Wrap-up
There's a lot of ways in which the Oppo Find X2 Pro is unique, but we barely had enough time with it to say 'hi'. The phone is here to stay though, so we'll be spending the coming days exploring that camera system in more detail, testing battery life, putting the spec-heavy display under scrutiny - the usual stuff. Stay tuned.
