A new report has revealed that OPPO, the known smartphone manufacturer, is planning on launch a special edition for its Find X2 smartphone and its Watch lineup, which will be based around the popular MOBA title League of Legends.

According to leaks from @数码闲聊站 and @科技喵 on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, the company is gearing up for the launch of the OPPO Find X2 League of Legends S10 Limited Edition and two OPPO Watch League of Legends limited editions as well. The Chinese tech giant has yet to confirm the news, although, the official promotional image was also leaked prior to the launch, giving us a first look at the new special variants of the devices.

The Find X2 League of Legends S10 Limited Edition features a design overhaul with its rear panel featuring a distinctive from the popular competitive video game. The “S10” in the name stands for the 10th competitive season of the game, with the rear panel also sporting the World’s championship branding as well. Similarly, the Watches also adopt a new theme and wrist band variations for the special edition.

As per the report, the company will be launching all three devices on 12th October 2020, which is also when the group stage ends for the first day. In other words, OPPO has partnered with League of Legends with this unique launch. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown if the differences within the special edition also affect the internal specs or are just limited to the aesthetics of the device, so stay tuned for more updates.

OPPO is part of Android 11 Beta program. The Find X2 and Find X2 Pro are the only devices from the company eligible for this initiative. But now, the company announces a new Android 11 Beta recruitment, which also includes Reno3 4G and Reno3 Pro 4G. The registrations for the same will open on September 7 from 4:00 (GMT).

The Chinese smartphone maker announced a new Android 11 Beta recruitment for four of its devices on ColorOS Community (via PiunikaWeb). What’s more interesting is that the company has included a blank space for the version number of ColorOS in the teaser image.

This suggests that OPPO may soon announce ColorOS 8. In fact, this beta recruitment could be for the latest version of its Android skin. Also, the company mentions that only limited quota will be available for this program. The exact number of spots and regions will be revealed on September 7.

Since realme UI was unveiled after the release of ColorOS 7 last year, we may also witness the debut of realme UI 2 in the coming days. Most importantly, this suggests that Google may indeed launch Android 11 officially on September 8 as reported in July.

Qualcomm introduced support for updateable GPU drivers for its flagship Snapdragon 865/865+ and mid-range Snapdragon 765/765G chipsets. Xiaomi was the first company to deliver an update to the Adreno 650 GPU present in its Mi 10/Mi 10 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro/K30 Pro Zoom Edition. Now, Oppo becomes the second OEM to join this bandwagon by updating its Find X2/Find X2 Pro.

The GPU driver update for Oppo Find X2/Find X2 Pro is currently limited to the Chinese variant of the devices. The update is available as an app in the company’s official app store. Merely, installing this app will update the GPU driver.

Unfortunately, installing the same APK on the international version of these handsets does not increment OpenGL version as per XDA Developers. Hopefully, the company soon releases a separate app for the global version of the Find X2 series on the Google Play Store.

It is worth noting that even Xiaomi is yet to make the GPU update available for the global variants of Mi 10/Mi 10 Pro and POCO F2 Pro.

Updateable GPU drivers enable quick delivery of new features of OpenGL or Vulkan API to users via the official app store present on the supported smartphones. After Qualcomm, even ARM announced support for it in late June.

The Oppo Find X2 series consists of three primary devices namely Find X2, Find X2 Pro, and Find X2 Pro Automobili Lamborghini Edition. Then, there’s Find X2 Neo and Find X2 Lite, which is basically a rebadged  Reno3 Vitality Edition and Reno3 Youth Edition for international markets. Now, a set of design patents have emerged, which reveal a Find X2 series device with an in-screen (under display) camera.

Last year, Oppo showcased a prototype smartphone with a front camera underneath the display. Then, at the of 2019, the company had applied design patent for this particular smartphone pictured above at the CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Office).

The documents for the same was released on July 7, which was unearthed by none other than LetsGoDigital, a publication well-known for patent-related findings.

Looking at the images, we can see that there are five different colors with subtle design differences. One of them has a unique LED flash module placement and even an Italian flag. Whereas, three models have Lamborghini’s signature taillights, which might act as a notification light. But all of them have artificial leather backs.

We can clearly say that this is another Lamborghini Edition Oppo smartphone but with different design and more importantly in-screen camera. It is worth noting that 65W SuperVOOC was introduced in the Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition. Hence, it makes sense for the company to debut new tech on a limited edition and keep it premium for a particular period of time.

Anyway, as these are merely design patents, we cannot say for sure if it will ever make it to end consumers. But we do expect smartphones with an under-display camera soon as Visionox’s tech is ready for mass production.

If you own the Find X2 or Find X2 Pro and don’t mind giving Android 11 a spin, you can now download the beta. OPPO has made the builds available with ColorOS 7.2 on top.

OPPO has highlighted some of the features that Android 11 brings to the Find X2 series such as Scheduled Dark Mode which automatically switches your device between light and dark modes; a special bedtime mode that can be configured to your liking; ability to pin conversations in the notification menu; dedicated menu for smart home devices without the need for installing third-party applications; and stricter privacy settings.

OPPO warns that the build is only available to developers and not for end-users. They also warn that the build has bugs and is unstable. So if this is your primary device and you are not a developer, you may want to steer clear of the beta build.

You can download the Android 11 Beta build from the source link below. XDA-Developers have also written a step-by-step guide on how to flash it and how to rollback if you need to.

Oppo will be soon launching the Find X2 series in India on June 17. The brand has confirmed that it will be bringing both Find X2 and Find X2 Pro to the country. Now, just a couple of days ahead of launch, their pricing has been tipped by Money Control.

According to the website, their sources have revealed the pricing for both the handsets in the series. However, they are only sure of the standard Find X2’s price, which is said to retail between ₹60,000 ($789) and ₹65,000 ($855) for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

For comparison, the same device sells for €999 ($1,126, ₹85,616) in Europe. In fact, India could be the cheapest place to buy the Find X2. Because in China, the handset maxes at 8GB + 256GB and that variant itself costs 5,999 Yuan (₹64,284, $846).

This is not the first time we are seeing a smartphone selling for a lower price than other markets. OnePlus 8 series launched in April also retails for a much lower price tag in Indian than western nations.

OnePlus and Oppo managed to do this as their phones are locally assembled in the same factory in India along with Realme. 

Anyway, we would still highly advise you to take this piece of information with a pinch of salt. We will know the exact Indian pricing of Find X2 series on June 17.

Google quietly announced Android 11 Beta today. Unfortunately, the list of devices that are eligible for the beta is yet to be released. Nevertheless, we now know two non-Pixel phones that will get it.

According to a tweet by Mishaal Rahman, the editor-in-chief of XDA-Developers, OPPO confirmed to him that the Find X2 and the Find X2 Pro will get the beta later this month.

Android 11 Beta is here! We'll of course be digging into the new release soon.

As far as non-Pixel devices getting the update, OPPO has confirmed to me that the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro will get the beta later this month. (Article on this coming soon!) https://t.co/hzg1yIzQ0Q

This should be good news for owners of the two flagships as they will be able to get a taste of what Android 11 has to offer ahead of other devices. Last year, the OPPO Reno was one of the devices eligible for Android Q beta.

We expect more manufacturers will announce which of their devices will also get Android 11 beta in the coming days or weeks. The manufacturers that were part of the beta program last year include ASUS, Nokia, Huawei, LG, OnePlus, Realme, Sony, Tecno, Vivo, and Xiaomi.

Android 11 is said to focus on People, Controls, and Privacy. Some of the features it brings include One-Time Permissions, Permissions Auto-Reset, a revamped media control, and an improved Voice Access that lets you easily control your device with just your voice.

One thing I left out of my Android 11 beta hands on was the improved Voice Access, which now understand screen context and content. That was a mistake – it's actually incredible.

Oppo Find X2 series initially debuted in China and was soon made available in Europe. Now, the company is all set to bring its flagship smartphones of 2020 to India on June 17. The Find X2 and Find X2 Pro feature high-end specifications but its pricing will matter in the world’s most price-conscious smartphone market.

The Oppo Find series is known for its innovativeness. The last handset in the series, the Find X was one of a kind smartphone with futuristic design. But this year, the company took a safe route and launched a conventional flagship duo.

The Find X2 and Find X2 Pro have similar specs except for the rear panel, camera setup, battery capacity, and IP certification. That means both the phones sport 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a punch hole, 120Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, 5G connectivity, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, LPDDR4 RAM, UFS 3.0 storage, 32MP selfie camera, stereo speakers, ColorOS 7.1 based on Android 10, and 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging.

Talking about dissimilarities, the regular Find X2 comes in glass and ceramic finishes. Whereas, the Find X2 Pro is available in ceramic and vegan leather finishes. Further, the former has a 4,200 mAh battery and is only IP54 certified. But the latter is IP68 certified and features a 4,260 mAh battery. Weirdly, both of them lack wireless charging albeit being a premium smartphone.

Lastly, talking about cameras, the Find X2 Pro comes equipped with a 48MP primary sensor with OIS, a 13MP periscope 5x optical zoom camera with OIS, and another 48MP sensor with an ultra-wide lens. The regular Find X2, on the other hand, features a 48MP primary snapper with OIS, a 12MP telephoto shooter with OIS, and a 12MP ultra-wide angle camera.

In March, OPPO unveiled the Find X2 series of flagship phones in China. Last week, a landing page of the Find X2 smartphone emerged on Amazon India. Its appearance suggested that the Find X2 will soon hit the Indian markets. FoneArena came across a product page of the Find X2 on the retailer site. By investigating the source code of the page, the publication could find the possible pricing of the Find X2.

The OPPO Find X2 model that was found listed on Amazon India had 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The listing only contained the black variant of the device. The source code of the page showed that the handset is priced at Rs. 69,990 (~$921). The same variant is available in Europe and China for 999 euros (~$,1089) and 5,999 Yuan (~$841), respectively.

Since the landing page on Amazon India mentions the “OPPO Find X2 series,” the company may launch Find X2 and Find X2 Pro smartphones in India. Apart from these two smartphones, OPPO is also selling Find X2 Neo and Find X2 Lite smartphones in European markets. There is no confirmation whether the Neo and Lite will be also brought to India.

The Xiaomi Mi Pro 5G led AnTuTu’s best performing flagship smartphones in February. Today, the company released a new list of top 10 best performing flagship phones for March. It reveals that the OPPO Find X2 Pro is now leading the pack with a score of 606,389. The Mi 10 Pro that scored 598,572 has been pushed to second position. These phones have 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The X2 Pro has 256 of UFS 3.0 storage whereas the Xiaomi phone has 512 GB of native storage.

The Find X2 is third with a score of 590,253. The fourth place goes to Redmi K30 Pro that has scored 589,607. The iQOO is positioned at fifth with 588,305 score. The Black Shark 3 Pro is at the sixth with a core of 588,125.

The Realme X50 Pro with 588,055 is at the seventh position. The Vivo NEX 3S 5G is eighth spot with a benchmarking score of 586,577. The ninth position goes to Xiaomi Mi 10 that recorded a score of 579,550. The Black Shark 3 is the last phone to make it to the top 10 list with the score of 570,723.

All the devices mentioned in AnTuTu’s March list of best performing flagship phones are powered by the 5G-ready Snapdragon 865 mobile platform and LPDDR5 RAM. Except a few devices like iQOO 3 and Vivo NEX 3S 5G in the list, all the other phones are equipped with UFS 3.0 storage.

The Nubia Red Magic 5G that debuted last month is not mentioned in the list. The reason behind it is that the benchmarking platform came across some abnormalities in its memory test. The device may appear in the next month’s list. The Kirin 990 5G powered Huawei P40 and P40 Pro are also expected to make it to the next list.

Netflix requires certification on devices to play content in the respective format. Every now and then, the video streaming giant updates its list of officially supported devices. The latest change in the list brings back the Pixel 4 series and adds new devices from OnePlus and Oppo.

Even before the Google Pixel 4 series debuted, they were added to the officially supported HDR devices on Netflix’s official website. But they were soon removed as they were yet to go official. However, now as Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL available for purchase, Netflix once again adds them to the list after 5 months from their launch.

Further, the official Netflix HDR list also adds a couple of OnePlus devices namely OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro, both of which launched around the same time as the Pixel 4 series. Strangely, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition is still missing. Hopefully, that gets listed soon as it is the most expensive smartphone launched by OnePlus to date and has all the necessary hardware requirements for HDR playback.

Finally, the newly launched Oppo Find X2 and Find X2 Pro also make it to the list. It is worth noting that only selected models have been listed and they are PDEM10, PEDT10, CPH2023, PDEM30, and CPH2025 respectively.

Oppo has just made a new announcement in response to the recent criticism it had garnered due to false advertising. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer had shared misleading details regarding the Find X2‘s weight on its official product page and is now offerings refunds to people that have purchased the handset.

Oppo had recently launched its latest flagship series, the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro. These smartphones are premium grade flagships and cost 5,499 and 6,999 respectively (or roughly $783 and $996). After its launch, many people noticed that the weight of the smartphone felt heavier than what was officially claimed; and after real life tests, it was determined that the actual weight was nearly 5-13 grams higher than advertised.

This led to a controversy that sparked online which although was a small mistake from the company, could potentially be interpreted as misleading to its customers. Thus, Shen Yiren, the Vice President of Oppo, issued a public apology and stated that the company would investigate that matter. So it was found out that there were several discrepancies in the weight of the Oppo Find X2 series.

Notably, the glass version of the Find X2 weighed 192g, over the claimed 187grams. Similarly, the ceramic Find X2 unit weighed 209g which is sizeably more than the officially advertised 196g. Furthermore, this even affected the Find X2 Pro units with its ceramic version seeing an increase of 10g over actual and claimed weight as well.

Thus, Oppo has officially started refunds for the Find X2 series in China. Other regions where the Find X2 series is available will have the product information updated while Mainland China will make refunds against Find X2 orders for those that wish to return the device. So for those interested, make your way to the nearest customer service center in China before 24th March 2020, to avail this limited time offer.

Oppo has just unveiled the Find X2 series earlier today (6th March 2020). Alongside its flagship series with its top notch specs came the latest version of the Chinese company’s custom skin. The ColorOS 7.1 was also revealed with improvements for system performance and optimizations for display, camera, better storage capabilities, and memory management.

ColorOS 7.1: Display

Starting with the display, the ColorOS 7.1 on the Oppo Find X2 series also brings support for the high 120Hz refresh rate. The company calls it the “O1 Super Sensitive Image Quality Engine” which enhances the quality of the content being displayed on the screen. The new update also brings dynamic video frame interpolation technology. This basically is an algorithm that supplements the high refresh rate display.

Traditionally, videos or movies are filmed in 30fps, but through this technology Oppo manages to optimize the content to 60fps or even 120fps, making the video experience extremely smooth. As of right now, the feature is only supported on certain applications like Tencent Sports iQiyi, Tencent Video, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Netflix, and a few other video streaming platforms. Support for more should arrive soon after.

HDR (high dynamic range) is one of the biggest inclusions in the latest premium flagship from Oppo. Unlike SDR (standard dynamic range), HDR offers more vivid colors and clearer content being displayed. Textures in images and videos are more natural and detailed, making the viewing experience a lot more enjoyable. This is also paired with an AI that runs an adaptive eye protection functionality; which automatically adjusts color temperature and brightness according to the environment to reduce irritation to the eyes.

Camera

In terms of photography, Oppo’s ColorOS 7.1 also arrives with live HDR video capture capabilities. This helps in solving various mobile videography experiences like dark or overexposed backgrounds during indoor or outdoor shots. The camera software optimizations help light up the scene to make the lightning more naturally balanced out while also offering a cinematic texture filter as well.

The improvements to the sensors features a better stabilization too, with a dual anti shake function that is present on both the primary sensor and wide angle lens. This enables a smoother videographic experience which is even comparable to certain professional grade cameras, according to Oppo.

Another notable inclusion in the camera department is the Omni directional focus technology. Earlier today, DxOMark rated the Oppo Find X2 Pro as the best camera on a smartphone, with its autofocus capabilities being one of the highlighting aspects of it. The autofocus on the Find X2 series is capable of both horizontal and vertical focus. This boosts the focusing speed and increasing the accuracy during dynamic pictures or even low light scenarios.

The ColorOS 7.1 even brings special optimizations that have the smartphones support gimbals as well. Since the gimbals have become increasingly popular for mobile photography, Oppo ColorOS 7.1 allows devices to identify the DJI or other brands of gimbals being used, without the need for installing additional applications or software.

Memory and Storage

One of the most important features that the ColorOS 7.1 brings to the table is its improvements in memory and storage management. While traditional updates bring better read and write speeds alone, the latest custom skin iteration from Oppo is capable of anti fragmentation optimizations as well. The feature is a proprietary development from Oppo and allows an 18% increase in app read speeds of large blocks of physical memory.

Furthermore, it also reduces the number of memory fragmentation by 99%. For those unaware, disk fragment with age and continuous use. This holds especially true for computers, so for a smartphone to automatically defragment itself, is a significant innovation in the mobile industry. This will also reduce the unnecessary storage being taken up by the system and will be beneficial for devices in the long run.

User Interface

The UI or user interface with the ColorOS 7.1 also saw certain improvements. The launch speed of applications has drastically been reduced while memory utilization has increased by 40%. Even games now average higher fps while multiple applications run smoothly. The improvements even extend to system apps, which now support hypertext, call translation, wireless printing and recording to text features. Notably, the call translation feature supports real time cal translations for English and Chinese, by automatically weakening the original sound and boosting the translated audio.

The post The OPPO Find X2 can display 1 billion colors thanks to its 10-bit OLED panel appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO has already announced that the extremely popular Find X series will get a new model on March 6. The OPPO Find X2 will be the next model, taking over the reign from the Find X that was first released in 2018. Ahead of the launch event, several renders of the Find X2 have appeared online, giving us an idea of what the design looks like.

The renders suggest the Find X2 will come in two colour options – black and blue but there may be more. The phone utilises a curved edge design as well as what looks like a hole-punch selfie camera design. This effectively means that we won’t be seeing the sliding design that was used on the Find X. OPPO had also disclosed that we won’t be seeing an in-display selfie camera on the Find X2.

On the rear, the Find X2 packs a triple rear camera setup arranged vertically at the top left corner of the panel. The camera module also houses an LED flash at the bottom. OPPO’s logo is also stamped at the bottom, lying in the same plane as the camera.

Apart from the Find X2, the company is expected to take the wraps off the Find X2 Pro. The Find X2 Pro may likely present with the same design but may have a bigger display. There are rumours that the Find X2 Pro will have at least two versions – Satin black ceramic version and Tea orange leather version. The back design is not much different from the standard version. The Tea orange leather version is slightly different at the logo with the OPPO protruding.

In terms of specification, previous official reports have already confirmed that the screen refresh rate is as high as 120Hz. It is also expected to pack a 3K resolution of 3168×1440 pixels and the sampling rate can get up to 240Hz. In addition, as OPPO’s annual flagship, the device is expected to present with the latest Snapdragon 865 chipset as well as a 65W Super VOOC charging support.

Earlier, the certification platforms like Thailand’s NBTC and Malaysia’s SIRIM had revealed that the Find X2 series would have two phones, Find X2 (CPH2023 model number) and Find X2 Pro (CPH2025 model number). The Bluetooth SIG certification of CPH2025 Find X2 Pro reveals that it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC processor along with 8 GB of RAM> it has an internal storage of 256 GB.

The listing also resolves any doubts over the phone’s rear camera. This would be a triple camera setup that includes 48-megapixel, 48-megapixel, and 12-megapixel sensors. The front of the phone would house a 32-megapixel camera in a punch-hole display cut-out. The selfie camera could be a Sony IMX616 lens whereas the triple cameras setup may include a custom-made Sony IMX689 primary lens, a Sony IMX708 ultrawide sensor and a telephoto shooter.  The phone runs on Android 10 OS and ColorOS 7.1 and it carries support for Bluetooth 5.1 and dual-band Wi-Fi.

The listing further furbishes details on the display for the phone series. Find X2 Pro would come with a 6.7-inch, QHD+ display. OPPO’s VP, Shen Yiren has earlier revealed that the phone series will have flexible OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate.

Additionally, a video chip would also allow for upscaling from SDR to HDR. The panel specifications certainly seem to meet the “waterfall display” tag but with curves that are not very sharp. This would allow some room for hardware buttons on the side. The display will feature a hole at the top left corner. A Chinese leakster who on Weibo post said that Find X2 has support for 65W wired flash charge, 30W wireless flash charge, and 10W reverse charging. The Find X2 series will be arriving with some other features such as M1 co-processor, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.0 storage, Wi-Fi 6 and NFC. There is no word on the pricing of the Find X2 series.

The Find X2 will also have a Pro model with better cameras but both will have a Snapdragon 865 processor and have support for 5G. OPPO should also announce its first smartwatch at the event.

Yesterday, a reliable tipster from China revealed that Sony will be launching Sony IMX689 and IMX708 sensor will be made official globally in the coming days. He shared some details of on the specs of the IMX708 and said it is a customized sensor. Companies like Huawei, OPPO and OnePlus are also expected to use the sensor on forthcoming phones.  It is speculated that the OPPO Find X2 that is expected to debut in Q1 this year with the latest Sony sensor could be one of the first devices to feature the Sony IMX708 lens.

According to the leakster, the sensor size of the Sony IMX708 could be around 1/1.3-inch. It could be able to capture images of up to 48-megapixel like the Sony IMX586 lens. He added that he came across a device that has a Sony IMX708 lens on the back and a front-facing camera of Sony IMX616 lens. The latter is said to be a 32-megapixel lens.

The Huawei P40 series are expected to go official in March and rumors surrounding it have claimed that it could be coming with a 52-megapixel lens. OnePlus will be launching the OnePlus 8 series in Q2. Hence, it appears that the OPPO Find X2 could be the best candidate to feature the Sony IMX708 48-megapixel lens on the rear and a Sony IMX616 32-megapixel selfie snapper. Recently, OPPO VP Brian Shen had hinted that the Find X2 has an exclusive custom sensor.

Moreover, in December, it was officially revealed that the Find X2 will be arriving with Sony’ latest image sensor that is called All Pixel Omnidirectional PDAF that will be accompanied with the new 2×2 On-Chip Lens (OCL) solution.

The new lens will allow the phone to capture photos with faster and accurate autofocus and it will be also well able to focus efficiently in low-light conditions.

There is no concrete evidence yet that the OPPO Find X2 will be equipped with Sony IMX708. Hence, it is advisable to take this report with a grain of salt.

The display will have a punch-hole at its top-left corner. Irrespective of full HD+ and quad HD+ resolution, users will be able to switch between 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rate on the Find X2.

The OPPO Find X2 is one of the most anticipated Chinese smartphones this year. The phone will launch as a successor to the 2018 Find X that took the world by storm. Ahead of the phone’s release, specs have begun to surface. Today, a Chinese leaker has revealed details about the phone’s screen.

Last month, when it was confirmed that the Find X2 will launch this year, OPPO’s VP, Brian Shen revealed that the phone will have a better display than its predecessor. That should not be surprising since more manufacturers are focusing on displays these days.

According to Digital Chat Station, the screen of the Find X2 will have a QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution is actually 3168 x 1440 and the display is a curved OLED panel made by Samsung. He adds that the screen measures about 6.5-inches in size and has a single hole at the top left corner for a selfie camera.

OPPO will allow users to switch between FHD+ and QHD+ and users will be able to choose between a 60Hz refresh rate or a 120Hz refresh rate irrespective of the resolution the display is set at. Samsung fans will definitely be unhappy since the Galaxy S20 series will only be able to switch to 120Hz when the resolution is set to FHD+.

While a combination of a QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate will definitely affect battery life negatively, providing the option for users to choose which combination they want to use is the smart thing to do rather than making it unavailable right out of the box.

The OPPO Find X2 will have a Snapdragon 865 processor and a Snapdragon X55 modem for 5G network support. It is expected to launch this quarter, so we expect more leaks will surface soon.

OPPO will be one of the first companies to launch the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform powered flagship phone. The Find X2 featuring the said chipset is expected to go official in Q1 2020.

A Chinese tipster with a good track record on revealing leaked information has shared key details on the Find X2. He is of the view that the Find X2 may end up achieving highest scores on AnTuTu benchmarks.

The leakster has claimed that the Find X2 is fueled by Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. He has revealed that the phone will be equipped with LPDDR5 RAM. The smartphone will come with UFS 3.0 storage.

Samsung began with the mass production of 12 GB LPDDR5 RAMs for 5G flagship phones in the second half of the year. However, none of the smartphone OEMs have launched handsets with LPDDR5 RAM. With LPDDR5 RAM mass produced, many flagship phones could come equipped with it. The upcoming ZTE Axon 10s Pro is confirmed to arrive with LPDDR5 RAM.

It will be also featuring the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform, but there is no confirmation on whether it will be arriving with LPDDR5 RAM.

The display of the Find X2 will offer higher resolution, wider dynamic range, better refresh rate and color reproduction. Also, it will be featuring 2 x 2 On-Chip Lens (OCL) solution from Sony for faster and accurate autofocus and better photography in low-light conditions.

The OPPO Reno Ace that had gone official in October had arrived as the world’s first phone with the fast charging capabilities of 65W. This was made possible through the company’s SuperVOOC 2.0 Flash Charge technology. OPPO’s core developer for VOOC Flash Charge, Tian Chen had recently claimed that only OPPO can defeat its own fast charging technology. It remains to be seen whether the Find X2 come with faster or an improved version of 65W SuperVOOC 2.0.

During the Future Technology Conference 2019 that was held at OPPO’s Shenzhen HQ in December, the company had showcased a prototype smartphone with an under display camera technology. Since the performance of the front camera was found to be greatly improved, it appeared that the company could be gearing to mass produce the technology. The prototype device did not feature any physical ports. It remains to be seen whether the OPPO Find X2 arrives with a portless design and an in-screen camera. To talk about its display in specific, the Find X2 will offer deliver higher resolution, wider dynamic range, better refresh rate and color reproduction.

The smartphone is also expected to excel in the photography department as the company has already confirmed that it will be equipped with Sony’s newest image sensor that comes with 2 x 2 On-Chip Lens (OCL) solution that promises quicker and accurate autofocus and better focusing experience in dim-light conditions.

The Find X2 appears to be packed with some futuristic specs like the predecessor Find X. Last year, OPPO was present at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 tech trade show to showcase its 10x optical zoom technology. It remains to be seen whether the company will unleash the Find X2 at the MWC 2020 tech exhibition next month.

The post OPPO Find X2’s arrival teased by OPPO VP appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Find X was one of the highlights of 2018. It launched with a motorized slider that revealed the front camera, face unlock sensors and also the rear cameras. OPPO is expected to follow it with a successor this year and according to YouTuber MrWhoseTheBoss, it seems he’s sure it will launch as the Find X2/X 2/Find X II.

In his latest video, he highlights some of the features expected to come bundled with the phone as well as its design. Some of the features include the new 10x optical zoom technology and the new in-display fingerprint scanner technology it announced last week.

The video mentions that OPPO has a similar camera technology to Samsung‘s variable aperture camera that launched with the Galaxy S9 duo. He says a combination of that, the 10x optical zoom technology and a night mode feature will sure be interesting features for the Find X2. He also says the phone should come with a Time of Flight 3D camera that can be used for 3D scanning and also full body frame adjustment when you take photos.

The Find X launched with a slider design in a bid to achieve a completely bezel-less display. However, there are opinions that moving parts in a phone isn’t great in the long run. Also, that design made it impossible for the OPPO Find X to have an IP-rating.

For the Find X2, OPPO is expected to go with a hole-in-display design for the front camera. That should mean no 3D face unlock but since it is expected to feature the new in-display fingerprint technology which is not only faster but also has a wider scanning area and supports two-finger unlocking, that should suffice. Also, the lack of moving parts should mean the phone should have some level of waterproofing built-in.

The OPPO Find X comes with VOOC Charge but two special edition models have support for SuperVOOC fast charging which can charge a 3,400mAh battery from empty to full in just 35 minutes. The Find X2 should come with SuperVOOC charge irrespective of the model.

We also expect OPPO to add wireless charging to the phone. It already joined the Wireless Power Consortium, so the Find X2 might as well be the first OPPO phone to come with the feature.

In conclusion, the OPPO Find X2 is expected to launch in June just like its predecessor.
