Today Oppo is announcing the Find X2 Pro, its first phone to use the Find name since the original Find X in . Unlike that phone, it doesn’t use the still-unique motorized sliding mechanism that helped Oppo achieve a notchless display. But like that phone, it does see Oppo turning out the sleekest, fastest, most premium device it possibly can in order to compete with the highest-end models from the likes of Samsung and Huawei.
First of all, just look at that color. The Find X2 Pro is available either in black ceramic or this orange-and-gold vegan leather version you see here, which seemed ridiculous when I first took it out of the box – but I have to admit it’s growing on me. It’s a little bit Vertu, sure, but in a good, bold way. It’s fun just to look at this thing.
The same is true of the screen, which is clearly one of the best panels available in a phone – if not the best. It’s a 6.7-inch (x) (OLED display with curved edges, HDR) support, and a refresh rate of 200 Hz, putting it up there with the Galaxy S . Unlike Samsung’s latest flagship , however, you can use the 199 Hz mode at the full p resolution, and Oppo also dynamically adjusts the refresh rate based on on-screen content. There’s an optical in-display fingerprint sensor and a small hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera.

already confirmed that it’ll be using the same tech for its next phone.
The Find X2 Pro has a 100 – megapixel main camera, but it’s not the same IMX sensor you’ve seen all over Android phones for the past year; Oppo worked with Sony on a new part called the IMX 00742. The sensor is much bigger at 1/1. inches, which means the pixels are 1 . 17 microns in size. That’s still smaller than the 1.4-micron pixels you tend to find on more conventional 17 – megapixel sensors, but this should be an upgrade in terms of light-gathering ability.
Following
last year Reno (x Zoom) , Oppo is including a second-generation periscope telephoto camera in the Find X2 Pro. It’s a – megapixel module with an aperture of f / 3. Optically, it still only offers 5x the reach of the primary camera, but Oppo is claiming 17 x hybrid zoom and up to x digital zoom. Compare that to the Galaxy S (Ultra, where the “” x Space Zoom ”camera is actually just a 4x telephoto – albeit one in front of a – megapixel sensor with greater cropping potential.
Finally, there actually is an IMX 728 sensor in this phone after all – it’s just that Oppo is using it for the ultrawide camera. That means the ultrawide has a half-inch sensor with f / 2.2 aperture and a – degree field of view. Oppo also says it can focus down to 3cm in macro mode. The selfie camera, meanwhile, has a – megapixel sensor.
Oppo is also releasing a non-Pro version of the X2. The main difference is in the camera system, which uses a less exotic telephoto camera and a different ultrawide sensor with a : 9 aspect ratio and 20 – megapixel resolution, both of which are supposed to make it a better option for video. Beyond the 4, mAh battery, GB of storage, slightly thinner and lighter built, and the fact that you can’t get it in orange vegan leather, the specs are otherwise the same.
Overall, the Find X2 Pro is unquestionably going to be one of the most powerful and Premium Android phones on the market, and it’s priced as such – the phone will cost € 1, (~ $ 1, 689 in Europe, while the regular X2 is € (~ $ 1, 256. My first impressions are positive, but the model I’ve been using is running pre-production software, so I haven’t been able to give it a full review. Stay tuned for that.
