Design
While the iPhone 12 Pro Max has exactly the same form factor as the iPhone X released in 2017, the OPPO Find X3 Pro comes with a brand new design, even though the rear camera module reminds of the latest Apple phones. It is a very elegant handset with a higher screen-to-body ratio, curved edges, and a protruding camera module with a very innovative design. While the OPPO Find X3 Pro has a more interesting and innovative look, the iPhone 12 Pro Max actually provides a better build quality. It has a Ceramic Shield back and a stainless steel frame, and it is waterproof up to 6 meters deep.
Display
Despite the iPhone 12 Pro Max has one of the best displays in the whole smartphone market, the OPPO Find X3 Pro promises an even better experience. It provides an awesome image quality with a 10-bit color depth for its AMOLED display, as well as the HDR10+ certification and the BT.2020 standard. Further, it comes with a high refresh rate: up to 120 Hz. The refresh rate is adaptive thanks to the LTPO technology and it can automatically switch from 1 to 120 Hz. The phone even comes with a higher Quad HD+ resolution and an in-display fingerprint reader. The iPhone has a stunning image quality, but it lacks a high refresh rate and QHD+ resolution.
Specs & Software
The OPPO Find X3 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are both equipped with flagship-class processors and they provide similar levels of performance. With these phones, you can do every kind of activity without issues and at blazing speeds. The operating systems are different: you get iOS 14 with the iPhone 12 Pro Max and Android 11 with the OPPO Find X3 Pro. The phones feature up to 256 GB of internal storage (the Find X3 Pro is only available in variants with 256 GB of internal storage).
Camera
iPhone 12 Pro Max and OPPO Find X3 Pro are top-end camera phone which can provide outstanding image quality and record great videos in every situation. The most interesting device in terms of cameras is the OPPO Find X3 Pro, boasting a quad-camera on the rear side. It includes two 50 MP main sensors (one of which is ultrawide), a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a macro camera with 60x magnification which works similarly to a microscope.
Battery
If you compare the battery capacity of the iPhone 12 Pro Max with other Android flagships, you will find out that it is below-average. But despite that, it is able to achieve similar results to the 4500 mAh battery of the OPPO Find X3 Pro thanks to the optimization of the iOS operating system. The OPPO Find X3 Pro offers way faster charging speeds thanks to 65W fast wired charging and 30W fast wireless charging.
Price
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is priced at €1199/$1433 in the global market (the price varies depending on the region), while you need €1149/$1373 for the OPPO Find X3 Pro. The OPPO Find X3 Pro is the winner of this comparison thanks to more innovative features, but not necessarily the best for everyone: as always, this is just a comparison between specifications and does not regard the user experience and the single users.
