Last year, OPPO had launched the OPPO Find X flagship phone with slider design. It came with a motorized camera assembly that included the front and rear cameras. The rumor mill has claimed that its successor could be called OPPO Find X2. OPPO fans have been eagerly waiting for the Find X2, but today’s Weibo post from OPPO VP Brian Shen has dashed all its hopes as he has confirmed that it won’t be launching this year.
Rumors that had surfaced at the beginning of this year had indicated that the Find X2 will be debuting by mid-2019. The smartphone was rumored to come with some features like 10x optical zoom and in-display fingerprint scanner with support for two-finger unlocking. It was also speculated to come with punch-hole display, Super VOOC charging technology and wireless charging. Sadly, the Find X2 will be releasing in 2020.
According to Brain, the OPPO Find X2 release date has been postponed to 2020. The company is currently reviewing the improvement points of the Find X smartphone and is aiming to launch a better flagship smartphone in the coming year. Through another Weibo post, Brian has claimed that the company will be launching its other smartphone series in the second half of 2019.
In the first half of 2019, the company mainly focused on its Reno and Reno 10x Zoom smartphones. After the announce of Reno series in April, Brian had confirmed that the company had scrapped its R-series. Since the company will be focusing on Reno and Find series, it won’t be launching newer R-series smartphones. Hence, it remains to be seen whether OPPO will be launching a new series or second line of smartphones in the OPPO Reno series.
The Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2019 is scheduled to run between June 26 and June 28. Various smartphone OEMs are expected to announce newer technologies at the tech trade show. One of the biggest announcements at the MWC 2019 Shanghai will be OPPO’s in-display camera technology. While a lot is being expected from the tech, Brian has claimed that its current image quality may not be good.
