Design

Oppo Find X2 is one step forward when it comes to the aesthetics, at least in its ceramic variant. Besides offering a very high screen-to-body ratio and a camera module comprising all the camera elements, the device has a ceramic back and it is also splash resistant with the IP54 certification. While Oppo Find X2 offers a more premium design, Huawei P40 has a more compact body. With its smaller display, it is much easier for one-handed use and to keep in a pocket. But its huge camera module and its big punch hole are not the best solutions to make a beautiful phone. Xiaomi Mi 10 sits in the middle but unlike the Huawei P40 and the Oppo Find X2 it does not offer any protection against dust and water.

 

Display

Oppo Find X2 is one of the best smartphones for display quality. It has exactly the same panel as the Oppo Find X2 Pro and it is superior to both Huawei P40 and Xiaomi Mi 10 by a huge margin. It offers a high Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a 240 Hz touch-sampling rate, up to 800 nits brightness, HDR and complete DCI-P3 gamut. The second place goes to Xiaomi Mi 10 boasting a 90 Hz refresh rate, a 180 Hz touch-sampling rate, and HDR10+. Huawei P40 is disappointing if we compare its display to Xiaomi Mi 10 and Oppo Find X2, but it has a more compact size.

 

Hardware/Software

With the Oppo Find X2 and Xiaomi Mi 10, you get a better chipset: the Snapdragon 865 paired with a Snapdragon X55 which is an external 5G modem supporting both sub-6 GHz frequencies and mmWave. You even get exactly the same memory configurations, so you should not notice big differences in performance. What differs is the software side, but excellent software in both cases. The ColorOS 7 contains several improvements and new features compared to the sixth version, and the MIUI 11 is amazing as well. Huawei P40 has a less performing chipset and less RAM, and it does not come with Google services out of the box.

 

Camera

If we talk about the camera we still can not give you a definitive verdict since we still did not test all the cameras. While Xiaomi Mi 10 might offer better capabilities at video recording, Oppo Find X2 and Huawei P40 may actually give you a better overall experience. But specs on the paper are not enough to judge the overall quality of these devices like camera phones.

 

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 is the winner of the battery comparison since it packs a way bigger 4780 mAh battery which should last a lot more on a single charge. It is also the only to support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. On the other hand, Oppo Find X2 has the fastest wired charging technology with a power of 65W. The phone is able to go from 0 to 100 percent in just 38 minutes.

 

Price

Huawei P40 and Xiaomi Mi 10 have a starting price of €800 globally, Oppo Find X2 will cost €999 (12/256 GB). There is not a definitive winner of this comparison, but I would not go for the Huawei P40 for that price. Oppo Find X2 is my favorite one due to its amazing display and fastest charging technology, as well as an amazing triple camera. But Xiaomi Mi 10 will offer a longer battery life and wireless charging, so it is still a valid handset.
