BBK subsidiary OPPO, Thursday, held a launch event in China where it unveiled the latest Android fork, the ColorOS 12. The company also unveiled several other products. One of the products is the Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition, a highly anticipated model. Also unveiled is the OPPO Watch 2 ECG Edition. 
The Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition is an upgraded version of the Find X3 Pro which itself is a power premium smartphone that has courted rave reviews since OPPO unveiled it earlier this year. The major difference in the Photographer Edition is the leather and metallic glass finish which the rear aspect adopts. The metallic part consists of an electroplated silver paint surface and uses the fog AG process which gives it a metal texture. The lower part then features a rough-grained leather, allowing for a firm grip.
Although the Find X3 Pro Photo Edition is said to be a collaborative effort between OPPO and Kodak, there is no improvement in the camera design or configuration. The device packs a triple camera setup made up of a 50MP ultra-wide Sony IMX766 sensor, a 13MP periscope camera with f/2.4 aperture, 5x hybrid zoom, 20x digital zoom, and a 3MP microlens with f/3.0 aperture. The front camera also retains the 13MP selfie shooter. This is the same setup on the Find X3 Pro.
The camera also comes with 14 different city filters which change as a result of the geographic location. It supports long-exposure shooting, and the camera provides a super RAW format shooting. In terms of video recording, the movie mode supports Log format shooting. Combined with 10bit color, it can fully retain the dynamic range of the picture and provide sufficient post-production space. In addition, video shooting also supports 4K HDR high-definition recording.
The Find X3 Pro Photography Edition is powered by a Snapdragon 888 paired with a whopping 16GB RAM. There is also 512GB storage onboard with one year free 1TB cloud membership. The device retains support for IP68 waterproof and dustproof ratings. Another unique feature is the spectacular retail box which it comes with.
OPPO Find X3 Pro Photography Edition is priced at 6,499 yuan (~$1006). It comes in Silver with Black color and is already on pre-order. The product will go on sale in China from September 22.
