Meitu might be a lesser known company outside of China, but the company made headlines a few weeks back when it announced a strategic partnership with Xiaomi (full details here!) wherein it granted an exclusive global license to the popular smartphone maker to use its branding and certain technologies in relation to all of its upcoming smartphones, except one — the Meitu V7. At that time, we had only seen this device in TENAA images, as it was yet to be revealed, but today, the company decided to officially announce its existence.

The new teaser poster for the Meitu V7 confirms the triple front camera design that we had earlier seen in its TENAA leak. Meitu’s smartphones are all about selfies and beautifying features, so it’s not surprising to see that they decided to add three cameras right on top of the display. The company continues to keep its signature ‘V’ styling on the new model as well, and the back is adorned by leather with dual cameras. Like most other Meitu products, the V7 is also designed to stand out of the crowd in terms of its design. Nothing is subtle about the device and if you take a look at the earlier released TENAA images, the design is quite flashy.

Meitu also reveals that the V7 will get a special Tonino Lamborghini edition. Before you get too excited know that it’s not another partnership with a sports car maker. Unless you know the difference between Tonino Lamborghini and Automobili Lamborghini brands, it’s very easy to mistake that this is a partnership like OPPO’s Lamborghini edition or OnePlus 6T’s McLaren edition. However, Meitu V7’s partnership is with the luxury accessories maker, also known for its luxury smartphones (remember the Lamborghini Alpha One?). We still don’t know how this special Tonino Lamborghini edition will come to be, but we’ll hear more details in the coming weeks.

Unfortunately, Meitu hasn’t given us a release date for the V7 yet. So, all we can do is wait for more details. The phone is likely going to be placed as a high-end offering in its lineup, so expect a flagship chip like the Snapdragon 845 on board. You can get more details from the TENAA listing from here.

Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition, the premium offering from the company of its flagship Oppo Find X smartphone, went on sale today in China for the first time. Priced at 9,999 Yuan, which roughly converts to $1,460, the phone was sold out within just 4 seconds.

The Lamborghini Edition doesn’t just have Lamborghini’s logo slapped on the back panel. It comes with a special retail box and the included case, charger with braided cable, and a pair of earphones are also Lamborghini-branded.

The phone comes with a 6.5-inch Full-HD+ OLED display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The display dominates the front side of the phone and it is touted as the world’s first smartphone to come with a screen-to-body-ratio of 93.8 percent.

Under the hood, the Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor along with 8GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. It comes with a unique automatic sliding mechanism for the camera sensors. According to the company, the slide-out mechanism pops out in just 0.5 seconds.

For the photography, the smartphone comes equipped with a dual camera setup that consists of a 16MP + 20MP sensors on the back with OIS and AI features. On the front side, there’s a 25MP for taking selfies. It comes with multiple 3D portrait lighting features and Omoji, which is OPPO’s own take on the iPhone X’s emojis.

The smartphone doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner, instead, it comes with O-Face (3D face unlock) which OPPO says has a failure rate of 1/1,000,000 compared to that of a fingerprint scanner which is 1/50,000. The device runs on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system with ColorOS on top. The Lamborghini Edition’s user interface has also been customized compared to the UI on the other variants of Find X.
