The Chinese manufacturer unveiled the new phones -- along with a new smartwatch called the Oppo Watch -- Friday, nearly two years after the launch of its predecessor, the Oppo Find X. The Find X2 costs 999 euros, which converts to roughly $1,130, £870 or AU$1,480. The Find X2 Pro will be 1,199 euros, or about $1,360.
The launch was originally scheduled for late February at Mobile World Congress, which was canceled due to fears over the coronavirus outbreak.
First impressions of Oppo Find X2 Pro
Both the Find X2 and the Find X2 Pro come loaded with the premium specs that you'd expect from flagship phones in 2020: 5G capabilities, the newest Snapdragon 865 chipset and superfast charging. According to Oppo, the Find X2 Pro has a battery capacity of 4,260 mAh and can be fully charged in just 38 minutes.
The specs sheet only tells part of the story. The rest of it unfolds through hands-on experience. The Find X2 Pro is a sleek phone with a futuristic appearance. That's thanks in part to its ultra-narrow bezel and its gently curved edge, which bends at an angle of up to 67.8 degrees on both sides. I didn't find it tricky to press the buttons on the edge and was able to do so easily without accidentally pressing or smudging the screen. The Find X2 Pro is longer and slightly narrower than the iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone XS Max, which I find allows for a more effortless and comfortable grip compared with both those models. Its 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and a 120Hz refresh rate make it the best display yet on an Oppo phone and put it up there with the Samsung Galaxy S20.
The selfie camera features AI beautification software, which allows you to change your physical features in real time before taking a photo. I'm not a fan of so-called beautification tools like this one since they're widely known to perpetuate warped beauty standards, but I can't say I'm surprised to see this tool on the Find X2. Its predecessor came with a 3D-scanning feature that allowed you to make tweaks to your face.
Notch or no notch, the Find X2 Pro has mind-blowing camera capabilities. It features a triple-camera setup on the rear, which is equipped with not one but two massive 48-megapixel sensors that feature in the ultrawide-angle camera and the main camera.
I also tested some of the Find X2's zoom features. on a dark night here in Singapore. But you wouldn't know it from the picture below, which shows lit-up grayish skies that don't resemble real life at all.
