A few years back, little did we know that OPPO would turn out to be such a big smartphone company. Very few knew of its existence and the company’s phones were popular mainly in China. Fast forward to 2018 and OPPO is one of the biggest smartphone companies in the industry! The company has been very smart in its strategies and its rise to glory is nothing short of impressive.

All this while, OPPO has focused on mid-rangers. This focus has helped it grow pretty quickly but everyone knows that the real money and respect is in the flagship market. For this purpose, OPPO is bringing back the Find series from the ashes. What was once thought to be dead is alive again and the OPPO Find X is here to lead the company’s flagship series. The timing of its launch couldn’t be more perfect — Vivo Nex just made its debut earlier this month and the Find series could directly compete with this new flagship from its rival brand.

OPPO Find X Specs

OPPO is not playing around with the Find X. The phone is going to feature top end 2018 hardware and is going to be placed with the likes of the Huawei P20 Pro, Vivo Nex S, and even the Galaxy S9.

Here are the likely specs of the OPPO Find X according to its TENAA listing.

• 6.4-inch dual curved AMOLED 2360 x 1080p display
• 19.5:9 aspect ratio with a notch on top
• 156 x 74.2 x 9.6mm
• 186 grams
• SD845 AIE chipset
• 6GB/8GB RAM
• 128GB/256GB
• Android 8.1 + ColorOS 5.1
• 20MP+16MP f/2.0 Rear Dual Cameras
• 25MP f/2.0 Front Camera
• 3730mAh battery

Some of these specs are already confirmed via an earlier teaser. So we know for sure that there’s Snapdragon 845 inside with a variant featuring 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Other specs mentioned above have been compiled from its TENAA listing and might change at launch.

Some of the specs are a bit confusing. For example, the thickness is mentioned as 9.6mm on TENAA. OPPO is not known to release such thick phones, so it remains to be seen if the OPPO Find X will really be a thick flagship. Another issue is about its display. The phone is said to feature a dual curved display according to a recent teaser, but there’s a leak that shows a notch up front as well. So, it may be possible that the OPPO Find X is the first smartphone with a dual curved display and a notch.

If this is really the case, the notch could be present for a very good reason — one possible explanation being 3D face recognition like Apple. Also, the screen to body ratio could go as high as 93.8% but we still haven’t got a confirmation about this specific ratio.

Expect a lot of high-end tech on the device, including the company’s Super VOOC fast charging that can charge a 2500mAh battery to 100% in 15 minutes, 5X lossless zoom (with a periscope like arrangement revealed last year), and in screen fingerprint sensor.

OPPO Find X Design

Like I mentioned above, we are not quite sure about the phone’s design. A full screen front (like the Vivo Nex) could be possible but we can’t be sure until we see the phone officially.

What could be really interesting on the Find X is its back design. There are two designs we have seen of the Find X’s back — one has a vertically arranged dual cameras and fancy looking back design with breathing light down below and there’s the other one which has a much more unique design featuring the cameras in an M shaped band at the back. The latter was actually seen in a leaked TV Ad on China’s CCTV.

OPPO Find X Launch Event

Pricing and availability details of the Find X is still unknown but we’ll get all these details tomorrow (June 19) at the official launch event at 8:45PM in Paris, France at The Louvre. Watch the live stream from here!

OPPO‘s full-screen phone was spotted in a leaked image recently but little is still known about the device. More details have now emerged about the upcoming OPPO smartphone and it includes a couple of new photos purported to be of the device.

The OPPO full-screen phone which appeared on Weibo is labelled as OPPO R11s which is quite different from the OPPO Mix which was spotted on GeekBench some time back. As for the design, it is difficult to grab much about the details because of the presence of a casing which covers the area where the bezels are supposed to be located. 

However, the display which is powered on shows that the device will likely have very thin bezels on the chin and also at the lower edge. The upper edge will also have a not so big border where the front camera and earpiece would be located.

Geekbench tells us the device will come with flagship specs, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. The device is also listed to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat and pack 6GB of RAM. We still don’t know when it would be launched but there are speculations that OPPO’s full-screen flagship model will be going official in November and would feature a Samsung AMOLED screen. Whether it is eventually named OPPO Mix or OPPO R11s, it still leaves the question as to what happened to the much-anticipated OPPO Find Series smartphone unanswered.

If you’re one of those still looking out for the OPPO Find 9, still hoping OPPO would one day just launch the much anticipated Find 9, then this will make you feel bad. Popular leaster @Kumamoto technology or Kjuma has revealed that OPPO has finally scrapped the Find series along with its N-series, replacing both with the mid-range R series and the A series. He also disclosed that OPPO will release a high-end flagship at the second half of the year.

The OPPO R9 which was launched in 2015 signalled a period of financial breakthrough for the Chinese company.The company’s marketing strategy, coupled with the fast charging technology which the R9 and R9 Plus possessed contributed to their success. This was soon replaced by the R9S and R9S Plus last year and they both continued the success story with amazing results. This may have prompted the company’s decision to halt its flagship Find-series.

We have had quite a number of leaks and rumours surrounding the Find 9 which has been on the radar since last year with rumors claiming it would be launched then. But that did not materialize and until this moment, OPPO is yet to release an official statement concerning the Find or even the N-series. The OPPO N-series on its own part only had the N1, N1 mini and N3 which was released in January 2015. Since then, nothing has been heard about the series. We can’t say for sure if this latest news is true or false until OPPO comes out with a statement on that. So, it is still possible the Find 9 does exist.

While we are still unsure whether the OPPO Find 9 is in the works, the latest news from China reveals that the OPPO Find 9 flagship could come with the brand new Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. This is the latest generation of Gorilla Glass display, which also makes it the best. The glass is strengthened to survive higher drops, making sure that your phone’s display stays intact in your day to day usage.

OPPO’s Find series have always been the top-end lineup from the company, and if the Find 9 is real and in the works, we couldn’t expect anything less than the Gorilla Glass 5 on top of its display. However, apart from this detail, the source did not reveal any other information about the device. News about the Find 9 is not readily available, and it’s been nearly 2.5 years since the company made a significant update in the lineup (Find 7 was released in FEB ’14 ). So, it remains to be seen whether OPPO scraped the lineup in favor of its relatively new OPPO R series flagships.

But we have to consider the fact that the specs of the OPPO R9 and even the R9 Plus would soon be outdated by the end of the second half of 2016. The past few months have been fruitful for OPPO, but if it has to continue the momentum, it would probably need better and powerful flagships in the coming months and what better way to make a mark in H2 2016 than with the OPPO Find 9 flagship!
