OPPO has a big event scheduled for Thursday, September 16, and it has lots of products planned for launch, with the key announcement being ColorOS 12. It also turns out that the Find X3 Pro Photography Edition made in collaboration with Kodak will also be announced on that day.

The date for the launch was confirmed by OPPO via a Weibo post today.

The Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition will have a dual-textured back. The upper part of the phone will be covered in metal while the remaining part will be clad in leather. Save for this design change that is meant to ape one of Kodak’s vintage cameras, we do not think there will be other differences from the standard Find X3 Pro which launched earlier this year. However, we do expect it will come in a special box and may even include custom accessories.

The OPPO Find X3 Pro was announced in March with a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 888 processor, up to 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. It also has 50MP + 50MP + 13MP + 3MP quad rear cameras and a 32MP front-facing camera.

There is a 4500mAh battery inside the phone that can charge at up to 65W via wired charging, 30W fast wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. Other features are an in-display fingerprint scanner, IP68 rating, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2.

The OPPO Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition will most likely be exclusive to China just like the Find X3 Pro Mars Exploration Edition announced in May.

The post OPPO Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition will launch on September 16 appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO’s Find X3 series launched in March of this year, bringing a new design and some incredible specs. Unlike other manufacturers that have launched another flagship for the second half of the year, OPPO has no plans to do so. However, a report said it is planning a special edition of the Find X3 Pro whose alleged photo has now appeared online.

Dubbed the Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition (not the official name), a photo of the said device is already making the rounds on Weibo. As seen below, OPPO has adopted a dual-textured finish for the phone. About one-third of the back of the phone is covered in metal while the remainder has a leather finish.

This special edition is said to be a partnership between OPPO and Kodak, and it pays tribute to a classic Kodak camera according to a leak by Digital Chat Station. Save for the different finish, the rest of the specs should remain unchanged.

The Find X3 Pro has a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor and has up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of non-expandable storage.

The cameras are one of the highlights of the phone. There are two main cameras – a 50MP f/1.8 camera and a second 50MP f/2/.2 ultrawide angle camera. Both have Omnidirectional PDAF but only the former has OIS. The other two rear cameras are a 13MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and a 3MP microscopic camera with a 60x magnification. For the front-facing camera, OPPO ships the phone with a 32MP sensor for the front-facing camera.

The Find X3 Pro packs a 4500mAh battery and supports 65W fast wired charging, 30W fast wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. It has an IP68 rating, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, stereo speakers, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

We do not know when this special version of the Find X3 Pro will be announced as OPPO is yet to release any info regarding it. Regardless, the launch should not be far off.

We are halfway into 2021, and most smartphone brands have already launched their flagship phones in the market. Taking advantage of the recent releases, we have put together a detailed camera review of the top flagships from five brands.

These are — Samsung’s S21 Ultra, Xiaomi’s Mi 11 Ultra, VIVO’s X60 Pro+, OPPO’s Find X3 Pro and Oneplus’ 9 Pro. In this article, we will compare the advantages and disadvantages of each phone in the camera department. This article is a bit long, but be patient, and you’ll know which phone offers the best photography experience in the first half of 2021, and we’ll also point out each model’s shortcomings and strengths.

So here is Gizmochina’s review of the best camera flagship phone for the first half of 2021.

Before we start the comparison of the camera samples, let’s review the camera specifications of the five phones, so please look at the table for details. Each phone defaults to AI mode, with auto HDR, flash disabled, and other factory settings when shooting. In order to avoid the preconceived brand effect, the evaluation will obscure the phone model for the audience to speculate, and their identities will be announced at the end of the article.

1.1 Main Camera (Bright)

When the lighting is good, all the five flagship phones perform very well. For the minute differences, we need to zoom in and look carefully.

Let’s take a look at this photo of the gazebo first, the performance is basically the same without zooming in.

And when we zoom in, we can see that the resolution at the center of the picture is very similar among all the five models, but we can still see that B performs relatively better than others as the cracks on the pillar are visible. The other three models are at the same level.

On the other hand, when it came to the edges of the image, A and D performed the best while the other three models had similar but slightly inferior details.

The D is seen to have the most noise at first glance, and it is obvious that the noise reduction processing of D is more negative. E also has more noise. Notably, the noise reduction processing of the, A, B, and C are stronger.

So the final score for this session is shown in the table. B and C are tied for first place, while D lags behind the other models because of the weak noise reduction.

1.2 Main Camera (Dark)

This photo of Coke embedded in a wall has a lot of details. But the situation is different in low light than when there is plenty of light. B has the worst central image quality performance, with no signs of sharpening, but it also the least detail.

We got the best details from D and E, where the texture of each brick is clearly visible. A has some sharpening, but the detail is still great. C has too much sharpening and looks worse.

And from this indoor sample of complex lighting, let’s check the image quality at the edges. D leads the pack, with clear lines of wire mesh. A and C have clearer lines, and C has the strongest sharpening of the five. E has false colors, and the B model has blurred images, performing significantly worse than the first three phones. The dynamic range of all five phones is similar, while A captured underexposed images in the dark and D overexposed the samples in the upper right corner of the light sign, so we deducted some points from both these models, but we couldn’t find any other fault. This picture tests the noise control and glare control of the phone.

After zooming in, you can see that B has the best noise reduction. C and E are the ones with the most noise. The glare is about the same for everyone.

The night mode improves low light scenes and should be used very often. Fortunately, the night mode is very well tuned on each of the five models. A is still not as detailed in the dark as the other four, and its sharpening in the night mode is the worst among the five phones. B‘s highlights are not controlled and the details are the least.

So the final score is as follows.

The best score in this segment is D, and the other four phones do not have much difference in performance in this segment.

2.1 Ultra-wide Camera (Bright)

Take this example of a large bell, shot in the backlight. C has the best performance in the resolution at the center of the image taken from the ultra-wide-angle lens. B is also good because there is almost no over-sharpening so it looks very natural and you can see a lot of details. This is followed by A and E, which look a little worse because of the obvious sharpening signs. The last is D, which has the least amount of grain detail.

Still in this photo, a closer look at the internal details of the bell reveals the gap in the dynamic range. E and B are the two best performers, followed by D, in both of which we can see the details inside the bell. A and C, on the other hand, are almost pitch black.

The edge details of an ultra-wide sample has always been one of the most difficult tasks for brands to optimize. The difference is evident in this photo of the tree. A came out on top in this category, both in terms of resolution and control of the purple-fringing issue. B is a little less resolved, but the purple-fringing issue is well controlled. C and D are very good in terms of resolution, but they have a slight purple-fringing issue. The worst is E, which does worse in terms of resolution and purple-fringing issues. However, the noise control of E is good and comparable to that of B. The other three units have average noise control.

Finally, look at their picture distortion control. Because they both have anti-distortion processing, so the actual difference is very small. Except for B, which seems to have a little bit of distortion, it is hard to tell who is stronger and who is weaker with the naked eye.

The final score is shown in the table, and B got first place in this session with its stable performance.

2.2 Ultra-wide Camera (Dark)

Under dim indoor light, the ultra wide angle cameras with average sensors are tested to the extreme.  Look at the words on the car, the sample from B basically can’t be read anymore. In the samples from A and E, we can still read a few letters. While in the samples from D and C we can basically see all the letters. The D‘s ultra wide-angle lens, like its main camera, continues to have the most noise. Others have better noise control.

We can also use this picture to judge its edge picture quality. The newspaper posted on the wall is a measure of the edge image quality. The difference between the five phones is very obvious, with B again at the bottom of the list, and the small text disappearing. C‘s edge image quality drops very little compared to the center image quality, which is great. D is also very good. Whilte A‘s excessive sharpening makes the image look very messy, E shows slightly false colors.

Let’s change the scene and see how each brand performs in situations with high contrast between light and dark. It is easy to see from the Coca-Cola logo and ceiling that E has the best control of highlights and the sample from D has the most detail in the dark. The other phones also have excellent dynamic range performance and excellent glare control. A has a little more glare than the other phones, but it doesn’t affect much, so 0.5 points are deducted. From this scene with complex light sources, the five phones don’t look much different with night mode on. B is still the same as in the auto mode, with poor image quality at the center. A still has obvious signs of sharpening. D’s night mode is a little blurry. C and E performed relatively well.

The final results of this session are shown in the table, C got the highest score in five of the six tests and easily took the lead in this session.

Standard lenses (2x/3x/3.3x)

Since these five phones have different standard lens focal lengths, we chose their respective focal lengths for comparison, with B using a 2x zoom on the main camera.

Looking at the daytime samples with plenty of light, they are not much different except for the difference in focal length.

So we look directly at the indoor dark light samples. Without zooming in, you can see the dynamic range of each brand of phone just by looking at the picture. The best photo would be E, followed by D and C. A and B are at the bottom.

Now Let’s zoom in to see the picture quality. D is undoubtedly the best, followed by E and A. Lastly, let’s check out B and C. B also has the least noise due to the powerful noise reduction. The noisiest ones are A and E.

In the night scene mode competition, because C is not supported by the medium focus night mode, I believe C’s manufacturer is very confident in its automatic mode, so the score is with normal mode of calculation. The resolution of D is the best. B has the most severe sharpening.

So the final scores are in, and D wins this session again.

Telephoto Cameras(5x/10x)

Because D has 10x optical zoom, we review the 5x and 10x together. The small samples may not be visible in the above image, but the difference in the original picture is still obvious. You can see that B has the most details, followed by E. D is slightly weaker than E, but the remaining two are too blurry, especially the C.

In the 10x sample, ignoring the sudden overexposure bug of A, the image quality of D surpassed the top two and got first place.

The rest of the phone ranking is basically the same as 5x zoom samples. The gap is even more pronounced in dark indoor environments. B is still unbeatable in terms of dynamic range and noise control, while E also performs well. With night mode on, the dynamic range of A has improved, but the noise has also increased.

The night mode of E seems to have regressed compared to the auto mode, the image has become blurred, and we’ll explain why this happened in the camera experience session later. Of course, C still doesn’t support night mode for telephoto. D outperformed B in the 10x photos, and the rest of the conclusions are almost identical to the 5x photos, so I won’t repeat them.

The final scores are shown below, with the 5x telephoto and 10x telephoto winners being taken by B and D with perfect scores in each category, respectively.

Extreme dark scenes

Inevitably, there are times when you need to use your phone to take pictures in almost no light. In such scenarios, we don’t need to consider other factors, and as long as the target object can be photographed, it is considered a success. So this session is a test of the extreme light-sensitive ability of the five phones. Usually, the main camera’s night mode is the most powerful mode for each phone, so we have used it for this test. In terms of exposure alone, E was the brightest. A was so dark that it was impossible to tell what was being photographed. B retained the most details in the picture, followed by D and E. The conclusion of the competition in this segment is very obvious, because the exposure of the picture is more important than the clarity of the shot, so the weight of the score of the picture quality will be smaller in this segment.

Obviously, E wins this round.

Color Style & White Balance

Just as different brands of cameras have different color science, the five phone brands have different understanding of what colors makes the samples better. E and A usually have the highest saturation. C’s saturation is turned up while brightness is turned down to make colors more intense, especially reds and greens. D and B also increase saturation, although the strength is not great and there is little difference from what you can see with the naked eye. Color style preferences vary from person to person and are not evaluated here, but whether the white balance is accurate can be measured uniformly. So take a look at the white balance uniformity of each phone’s main camera.

With AI mode turned off, we take a photo of a white wall. It’s hard to see which phone is doing a bad job with white balance, except for the different exposure strategies, so let’s take a different photo.

The picture of this table has a large yellow area, which is very difficult for a phone with a poorly tuned auto-white balance.  It can be said that every phone does not do a good enough job of adjusting the white balance.

A is obviously yellowish, B, C and E are blue-green, and D is red. If you pick the best one, D and E are relatively well done.

So the best score in this session goes to D & E, the remaining three phones still need to work on their color tuning.

Other modes

Portrait mode is also a frequently used mode. This mode tests the accuracy of its face exposure strategy, beauty algorithm and portrait keying. This bronze statue wearing a hat has very heavy shadows on its face, but B does a good job of balancing the background with the exposure of the face. E has a great exposure for the face and automatically adds some light spots to the background. D has a dark face.

The woman’s picture is mainly about her hair keying and face details. It is too difficult to key in the hair, and all of them do a bad job here. B does a relatively good job, with less breakage. And the beauty effect on E is the most powerful, but here B is the weakest. Of course, Beauty can be turned off, so it is not included in the rating system.

If you only look at face exposure and keying, B has the best performance in portrait mode.

This time we also tested the selfie effect of the front lens. With factory settings, A and C had the strongest beauty effect, and all other phones looked more realistic. After we turn off the beauty on all phones, C and D have the most details.

We all know that B is able to take selfies with the small screen on the back, and it beats other phones in terms of clarity and depth of field. But this round of testing is the front lens so it does not count in the score.

In the high-resolution mode competition, E is not able to activate HDR in this mode, so the dynamic range will be smaller than other phones that can turn on HDR. This can be easily seen from the exposure of the tree trunk. In a different scene, in a light and not backlit scene, the best resolution is D and B, and the worst is A. But in the same scene at night, basically, every phone is close in performance regardless of the pixel level. So It seems that the high-resolution mode should be used in the daytime.

Only A has a dedicated macro lens, which is not used very often but is very interesting. It can take a lot of perspectives that other phones can’t, and it can record video, so it’s very usable.

And C has a Monochrome lens, which allows you to take black and white photos. Here is a photo with a Monochrome lens and a direct shot with a saturation of -200, can you see the difference between them?

So for C, this lens really does almost nothing.

So A won first place in this segment with its macro lens overtaking D. C‘s Monochrome lens did not help in this segment.

Camera Experience

Now comes the final session, namely the camera experience session. During my photo sampling, A and D had the best experience with no obvious drawbacks.

C can only use night mode at 0.6x and 1x focal length, and it is not possible to zoom in night mode.

Night mode on E is likely to call on the main camera to crop the image instead of 2x or 5x optics in low light conditions, which is why night mode is weaker than normal mode ar 5x focal length test.

B’s experience is the worst, not only is the shutter delay the highest of all phones, but there are two bugs that seriously affect the experience. Video stabilization failure can only be solved by rebooting. The night mode of the video will occasionally have a red residue on the screen. And the redness of the screen is quite scary at night.

By this point in the article, I’m sure some viewers have already guessed the corresponding phone models. Now let’s reveal the answer along with the total score table.

Best Camera Smartphones 2021: VERDICT

In the first place is the very versatile Galaxy S21 Ultra. The phone not only took four firsts in individual categories but was never placed at the bottom in any of the tests.

In second place is the Vivo X60 pro+ which is placed above others for its robustness.

The Mi 11 Ultra in third place has the strongest 5x optical telephoto lens, but the lack of a standard lens and poor tuning of the ultra-wide-angle lens caused it to be no match for the x60 pro+.

In fourth place is the Oneplus 9 Pro which has very good ultra-wide-angle performance, but like the Find X3 pro, it misses too many points because of the lack of an ultra-telephoto lens.

The Find X3 pro does the best job in terms of camera experience and fun, but the optimization for image quality needs to be enhanced.

If you want to choose a phone with the strongest camera right now, the S21 Ultra is the one you want. If your budget is not that high, the X60 pro+ is also a very good choice, and their gap is very small.

So this was Gizmochina’s review of the best camera phones for the first half of 2021. We hope this comparison was useful to you.

A new promotional video has appeared on Weibo that reiterates that OnePlus is now a part of OPPO.

The video shows a number of OPPO and OnePlus phones such as the Find X3 Pro, Reno4 Pro 5G, OnePlus 9 Pro, Reno5 Pro 5G, and the the OnePlus 7 Pro. It also has Eddie Redmayne and Ultraman in it, OPPO’s brand ambassador and OnePlus marketing mascot for the OnePlus 9R respectively.

The lyrics of the song playing in the video is a dead giveaway about the new relationship between both brands. There is also a text at the end of the video which reads “Let’s start a new chapter together”.

OnePlus announced almost two weeks ago that it was merging with OPPO. While it didn’t specifically say it was now a sub-brand of OPPO, a leaked memo revealed that will be the case going forward.

It is common knowledge that OPPO and OnePlus have been working closely together for years considering that they are owned by the same parent company. However, while other companies are spinning off their sub-brands as “independent” companies, OPPO has done the opposite by absorbing its sister brand.

It is a tough call sustaining software support for most smartphones beyond two years due to a raft of issues needed to make the extra update a success. Fast-rising Chinese brand Oppo is staking claims that there will be a minimum of three years of software support for its Find X3 series of premium smartphones. The trend out there in the market is that smartphone manufacturers progressively provide extended support for their models, and Oppo will not be left out

Two years of software updates are available generally, but Oppo says its Find X3 models will have an additional year of support for security patches. According to reports from Android Planet, the Chinese company ultimately says it hopes to further extend software support for the Find X3 series to four years. However, Oppo says that research is still ongoing to see how viable four-year extended software support for the series is.

According to the statement, the Oppo Find X3 series would be viable for up to three Android system updates, although the current Oppo policy remains two updates. Since the high-end Oppo FindX3 series originally came with Android 11, they will get Android 12 and Android 13 updates when available. It is observed that there are sometimes sharp differences between manufacturers on the number of system updates that would be available for their products.

The Find X3 Pro is the current flagship model from Oppo and comes well-kitted to compete with other high-end models from the market leaders. The flagship was unveiled together with the Find X3 Neo and X3 Lite and cost about $1,400. Oppo hopes to square up to its flagship model with Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra, Xiaomi’s Mi 11 Pro, and OnePlus 9 Pro. The Find X3 Pro has an excellent design, powerful hardware and camera system, and other impressive features. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset powers it with 5G support available. The 4500mAh battery of the X3 Pro has 65W super-fast charging and wireless charging.

The post OPPO Find X3 Pro, X3 Neo, X3 Lite prices and color variants leaked before launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO is expected to announce the Find X3 Pro flagship phone in March. Last year, the company announced the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro smartphones together in the same month. Several leaks have revealed details of the Find X3 Pro, but there is no clear information on whether vanilla Find X3 will launch alongside it. Instead, the Find X3 Neo and Find X3 Lite are expected to launch with the Find X3 Pro. Yesterday, well-known tipster Evan Blass shared a render to reveal the front design of all three phones.

As can be seen in the new render, the Find X3 Pro, Find X3 Neo, and Find X3 Lite has a selfie camera hole-punch at the upper left corner of their displays. The screens of the Find X3 Pro and Neo have curved edges, but the Lite model has a flat screen.

As is known, the Find X3 Pro is a Snapdragon 888 SoC powered flagship phone. It is expected to arrive with a 6.7-inch AMOLED with up to 120Hz refresh rate support, Quad HD+ resolution, and 10-bit color support. It may come with a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charging and 30W VOOC Air wireless charging.

The tipster has already revealed that the Find X3 Lite will be a rebranded edition of China’s Reno5 5G. The Chinese model has “Reno Glow” branding on its back. This branding will be replaced by a regular OPPO logo on the Find X3 Lite. It is likely to borrow all its specs from its Chinese version.

Blass is yet to reveal the specs of the Find X3 Neo. It is speculated that it will be a rebranded version of the Reno5 Pro 5G.

The new images give a look at the black and white color edition of the OPPO Find X3 Pro. According to Blass, the unique camera housing of the smartphone is internally referred to as the “crater” design. It includes four cameras and an LED flash.

The quad-camera setup has a Sony IMX766 50-megapixel primary camera and another Sony IMX766 50-megapixel lens for ultrawide shots. The 3-megapixel macro lens differentiates itself from other cameras through its flash-ringed appearance.

The fourth lens in the camera setup is a 13-megapixel telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, which has been previously used by the company on the Find X2 handset. The leak ends by saying that OPPO will be announcing the Find X3 Pro, Find X3 Neo, and Find X3 Lite smartphones in March.

The OPPO Find X3 Pro is one of the most anticipated devices of the year. Seeing as the Find X2 Pro received mostly favorable reviews, that is no surprise. If you are wondering what the phone will look like, then you are at the right place as official renders have just leaked.

As seen in the images below, which were first posted by Evan Blass (@evleaks), the Find X3 Pro has ditched the design of its sibling for one that is both familiar and unique.

Its quad rear camera setup looks like a mirror version of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, but rather than a frame that protrudes, OPPO has adopted a somewhat unique approach. To accommodate the bump created by the cameras, the back panel has a protrusion of its own that makes it look like the cameras are trying to get free. Not everyone will like it but it is different and that is not something we get to see often.

The images show that the Find X3 Pro has a curved display with its volume buttons on the left and its power button on the right. When it launches, it will be available in Black, Blue, Orange, and White.

According to Evan Blass, the phone has a 6.7-inch 1440p screen with an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz. There is also a hole in the screen for the front-facing camera. The quad cameras include two 50MP Sony cameras, a 13MP telephoto camera, and a 3MP macro camera that provides 25x zoom. He also said the phone supports SuperVOOC 2.0 for fast wired charging and has fast wireless charging too.

An earlier leak revealed the Find X3 Pro will have a 4500mAh battery capacity, 65W fast wired charging, 30W fast wireless charging, and a dual-body NFC antenna that allows you to tap-to-pay not only with the back but also with the screen.

The phone is expected to arrive in late March or early April alongside two other models the Find X3 Neo and Find X3 Lite a.k.a. Reno5. There is no mention of a Find X3.

Since OPPO is known for using CPHXXXX model numbers for its phones heading to global markets, it is likely that the CPH2173 smartphone could be the global version of the Find X3 or Find X3 Pro.

The “Lahaina” codenamed chipset that powers the OPPO CPH2173 is the Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset. The listing reveals that the phone is running on Android 11 OS and the SoC is coupled with 12 GB of RAM. In the single-core test, the Find X3 series phone has scored 1134 and it reached a score of 3660 in the multi-core test.

It will produce a resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, a 10-bit color depth, and a pixel density of 525ppi. The screen will also support an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz.

The Find X3 Pro renders, which were posted on Twitter by TheLeaks (@TheLeaks3) show that OPPO is sticking to the same front design as that of the Find X2 Pro. This means you are getting a curved display, which some may not like, and a punch hole at the top left corner of the screen for the selfie camera.

The rear is where the change has occurred. Gone is the vertical camera arrangement of the Find X2 Pro and in its place is a square-shaped camera housing with rounded corners.

There are four rear cameras and an LED flash on the back of the phone. One of the cameras has two silver rings around it and below it is a much smaller sensor which should be the macro camera that was reported in the specifications leak.

The OPPO Find X3 Pro has a curved glass back but we expect there will be other variants too, including a Lamborghini Edition.

Information revealed so far says the Find X3 flagship will have a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with a 1440p resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It will be powered by the new Snapdragon 888 processor which will be the chipset of choice for most flagship phones launching in 2021.

The rear cameras are said to include two 50MP Sony IMX766 cameras, one of which is the primary camera and the other is the ultrawide angle camera. It will also have a 13MP telephoto camera and a 3MP macro camera.

The Find X3 Pro will have a 4500mAh under the hood and will support both 65W fast charging and 30W wireless fast charging. It has been reported that OPPO has tweaked the algorithm of the 65W fast charging technology so that the device charges faster than its predecessor. The phone will also run ColorOS 11 based on Android 11 out of the box.

Yesterday, the specifications of OPPO’s Find X3 Pro flagship were revealed in a leak. The phone which is scheduled to arrive in the first quarter of 2021 will come with upgraded cameras and a high-quality display. However, it will come with 65W fast charging and not the 125W Flash Charge technology it announced back in July.

That news must have been disappointing for fans who have been looking forward to seeing the incredibly fast charging technology make its debut in the flagship Find X series. A Chinese leaker has now provided an explanation as to why OPPO is sticking to 65W fast charging.

According to a Weibo post by Digital Chat Station, the 125W fast charging technology has been tested in a prototype smartphone. And while it is really fast, charging the 4500mAh battery from empty to full in about 20 minutes, heat management has not yet been perfected. So OPPO will revert to 65W fast charging as it appears it may not fix the problem in time before the launch of the phone. Nevertheless, it is not all bad news.

Apparently, OPPO has optimized the charging algorithm for the 65W fast charging to make it faster. The source says that the phone will be able to fully charge in about 32 minutes. The Find X2 Pro charges in 38 minutes but don’t forget it has a smaller 4260mAh battery compared to the Find X3 Pro’s rumored 4500mAh battery capacity. It has also been reported that the Find X3 Pro will also support 30W fast wireless charging.

Other reported features are a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, quad cameras with two 50MP sensors, a 13MP telephoto camera, and a 3MP macro camera. It will also have a new NFC module and run ColorOS 11 based on Android 11.

At the beginning of this month, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 888 mobile chipset for 2021’s flagship phone. After the launch, OPPO confirmed that its Find X3 series of flagship smartphones will be driven by the SD888 SoC. The Find X3 and Find X3 Pro phones are expected to get announced in the first quarter of 2021. Well ahead of the launch, popular tipster Evan Blass has revealed the key specifications and features of the Find X3 Pro.

The tipster revealed that the Find X3 Pro is codenamed as Fussi and the device could be promoted with an “Awaken Color” tagline to highlight its 10-bit color support. The leak reveals that the Find X3 Pro will carry support for a full-path color management system that will make it possible for its display to natively support 10-bit color depth. In other words, the Find X3 Pro will be able to produce images in 1.07 billion colors just as the images captured by its quad cameras.

OPPO Find X3 Pro specifications

The Find X3 Pro has a 6.7-inch curved OLED display that will support 1440 x 3216 pixels resolution, a 525ppi pixel density, and an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It is unclear whether the smartphone has a punch-hole display. The curved back of the Find X3 Pro could be available in ceramic glaze or matte-frosted glass options. The thickness of the device is 8mm and it weighs 190 grams. It is expected to arrive in blue and black color variants. The company may release a white version a bit later.

The Snapdragon 888 5G mobile platform powers the Find X3 Pro. It is fueled by a 4,500mAh dual-cell battery that supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging and 30W VOOC Air wireless charging. It will come with a new NFC module with a dual-body antenna design. This new tech will allow users to make payments not only by touching the phone’s back to the reader but also by placing the front to the rear. The ColorOS 11 based Android 11 OS comes preinstalled on the smartphone.

The rear-facing quad-camera system of the Find X3 Pro will include two 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 cameras, one will be a primary lens and the other one will be a superwide sensor. It will have a 13-megapixel telephoto lens as the third camera that will carry support for 2x optical zoom, and the setup will also feature a 3-megapixel macro camera encircled with lights. The macro lens will function as a microscope as it will carry support for 25x zoom. The leak has no information on the front camera of the Find X3 Pro.

Most Android flagship phones that debuted this year featured the Snapdragon 865. A few other recent flagships from Samsung, ASUS, and Lenovo were driven by the Snapdragon 865+. The Plus edition offered faster clocking speeds than the SD865, but it came with the same GPU. In October, a tipster from China had claimed that an upcoming OPPO flagship is fueled by the custom-made chipset called Snapdragon 870. Today, the same leakster shared a few more information about the SD870.

The next flagship phone from OPPO will be from the Reno5 series. It said that the Reno5 series has three phones and the highest model is equipped with the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. Hence, the SD870 could be seen on some other flagship phones from the brand.

The tipster revealed that the Snapdragon 870 is an overclocked version of the SD865 in the true sense. It will not only offer faster CPU speeds but also it will offer better GPU performance as compared to the SD865 chip. The SD870 can clock up to 3.2GHz and its GPU can work at 905MHz. The Adreno 650 GPU that comes with the SD865 works at 600MHz.

It is likely that the OPPO’s SD870 powered phone will go official after the Reno5 series. Since the Reno5 is slated to debut in December, the SD870 powered OPPO phone could be arriving in Q1 next year.

The Find X2 series that includes the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro phones were made official in Q1 this year. In Q1 2021, the Find X3 series will go official. The lineup may include the Find X3 and Find X3 Pro phones. The company is highly likely to use the Snapdragon 875 chipset to power the Find X3 Pro. Hence, there is a possibility that the vanilla Find X3 could be equipped with the SD870 chip.
