Oppo has begun to roll out the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 stable update for more smartphones starting January 10. These devices range from budget to flagship categories.

Only two of these handsets were released in global markets. Whereas, the rest of them are launched exclusively in China. Let’s go through the details.

As per official announcement posts on the Oppo community, the following smartphones have started receiving the Android 13 stable update with ColorOS 13 skin.

• Oppo Find X2
• Oppo Find X2 League of Legends S10 Limited Edition
• Oppo Find X2 Pro
• Oppo Find X2 Pro Automobili Lamborghini Edition
• Oppo Ace 2
• Oppo K10 Pro
• Oppo K10x

The Find X2 and Find X2 Pro are the only phones on the list that were released outside mainland China. Hence, the latest software update is available for them in Indonesia. The update should be rolled out in more regions in the coming weeks.

On the other hand, the remaining devices on the list were launched only in China. However, it is worth noting that the Oppo K10x goes by OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite in select global markets. That device got the Android 13 stable update before New Year’s day.

Having said that, the update for these handsets is being rolled out in batches as usual. Therefore, some users may get access to the update earlier than others. In the end, every unit should be upgraded to fresh software in the upcoming days.

Virtual RAM on smartphones is trending lately. A bunch of recently launched phones, especially from OPPO, come with virtual RAM support. The virtual RAM feature uses the internal storage of the phone as RAM, offering flexibility and speed whenever required. The same feature has now been pushed to the last year’s flagship smartphone, the OPPO Find X2. 

Those who would have updated to the CPH2023_11.C.68 June 2021 build would be seeing this Virtual RAM feature. Interestingly, this virtual RAM can be tweaked from the settings of the device. In order to expand the RAM, you need to do the following after updating the software. 

• Go to settings
• Find RAM option, Click on the RAM option
• Select the expansion toggle and select the RAM size

With the virtual RAM expansion feature, you can expand the RAM up to 7GB. It has options to choose from 3GB, 5GB, and the maxed out 7GB RAM. Currently, the feature is only rolled out to some Find X2 devices. We can expect more phones to get this feature via a software update. 

Notably, its premium sibling, the OPPO Find X2 Pro has not yet received this feature. However, it shouldn’t be too long until we see the virtual RAM expansion options on the device. 

The upcoming OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G launching on July 14 will also be featuring virtual RAM support out of the box. As of now, it is unknown what expansion options would the device get. 

Other than this, some BBK backed phone makers have also unveiled phones with virtual RAM. Recently, the Realme Narzo 30 5G also received this feature with a dedicated RAM amount selection option.

Xiaomi Mi 11 hitten the shelves with amazing specifications, but still a very interesting price tag. This does not make it the best top-tier flagship of the year, but a lot of people will be able to save money while getting one of the best phones out there. At the same time, a lot of people are wondering whether or not they should go for the Xiaomi Mi 11 or for a top-tier flagship from the previous generation. The OPPO Find X2 is a device sold at a similar price tag and offers amazing specifications as well. While waiting for the global launch of the Xiaomi Mi 11, here is a comparison between the specifications of Xiaomi Mi 11 and OPPO Find X2.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs OPPO Find X2

Design

It is very hard to pick the best design between these two handsets: it depends on personal tastes. The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a very attractive eco-leather variant, but the OPPO Find X2 is available in a ceramic version which is thinner and lighter than the Xiaomi Mi 11, as well as more compact. Another important detail: the OPPO Find X2 is splash resistant, while the Xiaomi Mi 11 does not offer any certification against dust and water. On the other hand, Mi 11 has the Gorilla Glass Victus protection which should make its glass back and its display sturdier. Both the phones come with a curved screen, but the screen-to-body ratio of the Xiaomi Mi 11 is slightly higher.

Display

Xiaomi Mi 11 and OPPO Find X2 are very close even when it comes to the displays. Both feature an amazing Quad HD+ panel which shows up to one billion colors and offers a 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as the HDR10+ certification. It looks like the Mi 11 has a higher peak brightness with 1500 nits, but OPPO Find X2 guarantees a stunning image quality from every point of view. You will only get marginal differences, what really makes the difference is the display diagonal: on the Mi 11, it is 6.81 inches, while OPPO Find X2 has a 6.7-inch display. In both cases, you get an AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Specs & Software

The hardware department of the Xiaomi Mi 11 is more advanced than the hardware offered by the OPPO Find X2. You get a more powerful chipset: the Snapdragon 888 built at 5 nm, instead of the Snapdragon 865 found on the OPPO Find X2. The best Qualcomm’s SoC of 2021 is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Despite it is not fueled by the Snapdragon 888, the OPPO Find X2 remains one of the fastest flagships and guarantees amazing performance in every scenario. Both the flagship feature the same highest-end memory configuration: 12/256 GB, but the Mi 11 has a UFS 3.1 native storage instead of UFS 3.0.

Camera

On the paper, the OPPO Find X2 wins our camera comparison for a simple reason: it includes a telephoto sensor with optical zoom, while Xiaomi Mi 11 does not. You do not get the optical zoom with the Mi 11, but its 108 MP main camera is amazing in terms of photo quality. And it is even able to record 8K videos. But the OPPO Find X2 is an amazing camera phone as well. OPPO Find X2 wins even when it comes to the front camera, thanks to a 32 MP selfie snapper.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11 packs a bigger 4600 mAh battery and it is able to guarantee a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios not only because of the bigger battery but also because its chipset is built at 5 nm and is more efficient than the Snapdragon 865. OPPO Find X2 has a faster wired charging technology with 65W power, while Mi 11 stops at 55W. But the OPPO Find X2 lacks wireless charging, while Mi 11 features both fast wireless charging (50W power) and reverse wireless charging.

Price

OPPO Find X2 has a listing price of €999/$1221 in the global market, while Xiaomi Mi 11 is still not global, so we do not know how much it will cost. In China, it starts at about €500/$611. At the end of the day, Mi 11 looks better in terms of hardware and battery, while the OPPO Find X2 is more compact and it features more interesting cameras. Which one would you pick?

OPPO was part of Android 11 Beta program with OPPO Find X2 and OPPO Find X2 Pro. Being the company’s flagship smartphones, the duo was the first to get ColorOS 11 beta builds soon after its announcement in September. Now, more than a month later, the two handsets have started receiving stable builds.

OPPO surprised everyone by jumping from ColorOS 7 to ColorOS 11, which is based on Android 11. The company says that the new branding will help customers easily identify the version of Android its phones are running.

At the ColorOS 11 virtual launch event, apart from showcasing new features, the Chinese smartphone maker also released the beta rollout timeline for global markets. Based on the schedule, the company has been delivering builds since September 14.

The first batch of devices includes OPPO Find X2, OPPO Find X2 Pro, and OPPO Find X2 Pro Automobili Lamborghini Edition. Now, according to RMUpdate (via PiunikaWeb), the first two handsets have begun to receive stable releases.

The stable update is currently limited to users who are running the latest beta build. They come with the following build numbers.

• OPPO Find X2 – CPH2023_11_C.05
• OPPO Find X2 Pro – CPH2025_11_C.05

The update should be available for regular users running ColorOS 7.2 in the coming days across open markets. Unfortunately, users in Europe will have to wait for more as beta rollout will only start there later this month. So the stable release may probably come in late December or January for those users.

OPPO Find X2 and Watch League of Legends S10 Limited Edition Price, Availability

The Oppo Find X2 League of Legends S10 Limited Edition is priced at 4999 yuan($748.11). It comes in a single 8GB RAM and a 256GB storage option. This is the same price as the standard Find X2 8/256GB variant. The limited-edition smartphone is up for sale on the OPPO website starting today(October 19) from 21:00 China Time. However, on checking the website, the device seems to be out of stock as we write this article.

Similarly, the OPPO Watch League of Legends Limited Edition 46mm variant is priced at the same 1999 yuan($299) as the standard one. Also, do note that this version doesn’t have the ECG built-in. This limited edition watch is open for pre-orders on the OPPO website from October 19(today) and will go officially on sale on sale from November 1.

The initial list will be published on the oppo find x2 product page, and users have to contact customer care by October 21 to provide details.

OPPO Find X2 and Watch League of Legends S10 Limited Edition details

For the unware, League of Legends is a popular MOBA(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game in China. Oppo has partnered with the game to launch special editions of the Find X2, and Oppo Watch. The S10 on the name stands for the 10th season of the game.

Find X2

If we take the design and specifications, it is the same as the standard versions. However, the outer color scheme and a few themes inside the software is changed. On the rear, we can see a nebula inspiration. Nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, Hydrogen, Helium, and ionized gases. It has a bluish-green accent with a few yellow colors as well. Similarly, the Find X2 has a bluish-green color with yellow accents at the borders. We also have a yellow ring around the camera, league of legends, and S10 2020 World Championship logo on the rear.

You get a special box packaging with an X-shaped case, a customized SIM ejector, earphones, charger with “Take over”, and logo imprinted on them. You also get a commemorative card that says, “one of 3000”. This indicates OPPO might actually have made only 3000 units of the limited edition. Inside the customized UI, you get new game-inspired icons in black and blue accents with yellow rings, five exclusive wallpapers of Izreal, Li Qing, Le Meilan, Irelia, and Titan(Google Translated), dynamic unlock effects, a League of legends themed game space, charging animation, and more.

The launch will coincide with the 11 years anniversary since the multiplayer online game League of Legends was released. The Find X2 special edition is meant to commemorate the anniversary.

Renders of the Find X2 LOL edition were also shared showing the device will have the Worlds 2020 logo on the back which is the marketing name of the 2020 Season World Championship. The device adopts a mist-green-blue shade on the back and the sides while the top has golden accents as well as the bottom, and around the camera. The back panel is likely going to be made from glass.

We expect the specifications to remain the same as the regular Find X2. As a reminder, the device will pack a triple camera on the back and is powered by a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset. The device will run ColorOS 7 based on Android 10 to make the user experience as smooth as it gets on an Oppo phone.

OPPO is also expected to launch its first smart TV on that day and perhaps the OPPO Watch LOL edition as well.

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.

1 of 5

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.

A lot of interesting flagships belonging to different price ranges went on sale in India and several other regions. The recent Xiaomi Mi 10 can be considered a flagship killer, while devices such as OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 are more expensive and they seem more like top-tier flagships. There are several kinds of flagship phones, but which one should you buy? It mostly depends on your actual needs and in this specs comparison between Oppo Find X2, OnePlus 8 Pro, and Xiaomi Mi 10 sold at different prices, we will try to let you understand which device is worth going for.

OPPO Find X2 vs OnePlus 8 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 10

Design

OPPO Find X2 gives you more choices. You can get it with either a ceramic body or a glass body paired with an aluminum frame, and in both cases, it has a premium design. It is also splash resistant with the IP54 certification. OnePlus 8 Pro has an amazing design as well, with a high screen-to-body ratio, a glass back, and an aluminum frame. Further, it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. Xiaomi Mi 10 is another beautiful phone just like Oppo Find X2 and OnePlus 8 Pro, but it does not offer any protection against water and dust.

Display

If you need the most advanced display, you should go either for the Oppo Find X2 or the OnePlus 8 Pro. They feature a 10-bit panel that can display up to one billion colors with the HDR10+ certification, a high 120 Hz refresh rate, and very high peak brightness. The Oppo Find X2 convinces me the most, despite it has a slightly smaller display. They all feature a high Quad HD+ resolution. The Xiaomi Mi 10 loses the battle with its average Full HD+ panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

Oppo Find X2, OnePlus 8 Pro, and Xiaomi Mi 10 feature the best hardware you can get in 2020. They are fueled by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 native storage. Note that the Xiaomi Mi 10 only comes with 8 GB of RAM in India, you do not get the 12 GB RAM version. Given they got the same astonishing hardware department, it is essentially a draw if we talk about hardware. Instead, they feature different UIs. With the Oppo Find X2 and the Xiaomi Mi 10 you get customized user interfaces (ColorOS and MIUI, respectively), while with the OnePlus 8 Pro you get a UI closer to stock Android (Oxygen OS).

Camera

On the paper, OnePlus 8 Pro offers the most advanced cameras. It is equipped with two 48 MP sensors including an ultrawide lens, a telephoto lens with OIS and optical zoom, and a depth sensor. It also features omnidirectional autofocus. Xiaomi Mi 10 supports 8K video recording, but its camera department is inferior due to its inferior secondary sensors (it even lacks a telephoto lens). In the middle, we got the Oppo Find X2 with a 48 MP main sensor, a 13 MP telephoto lens, dual OIS, and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor, as well as a great 32 MP front camera.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 is the longest-lasting phone on a single charge not only because it features a bigger battery, but also because it has a more efficient display due to its lower resolution and refresh rate. It even supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging (just like the OnePlus 8 Pro). Oppo Find X2 lacks wireless charging, but it has the fastest charging technology with a 65W power.

Price

You can get the Xiaomi Mi 10 8/128 GB for Rs. 49,990 in India (€899 globally, but there are a lot of more affordable street prices), OnePlus 8 Pro 8/128 GB starts from Rs. 54,999 (€900 globally), and Oppo Find X2 costs Rs. 64,990 in its 12/256 GB configuration (about €1,000 in the global market). With the Xiaomi Mi 10, you can save a bit of money, but despite you get a longer-lasting battery, you lose the waterproof design, the amazing display you can find on Oppo Find X2 and OnePlus 8 Pro, and impressive cameras. We think it is worth spending more on the OnePlus 8 Pro and the Oppo Find X2. The former offers a more convincing rear camera and a larger battery than Find X2, while the latter has faster charging, a more attractive design, 12 GB RAM, and still amazing cameras.

Oppo has been teasing the launch of Find X2 series in India for the last few days. It was thought that all three models in the series including Find X2 Pro and Find X2 Pro Automobili Lamborghini Edition will be unveiled in the country. Unfortunately, that did not happen as the company only launched the regular Find X2 in 12GB + 256GB storage configuration for ₹64,990 ($853).

The price of Oppo Find X2 was already tipped a few days back. It was suggested that India could be the cheapest country to get the device. Fortunately, that happens to be true and it will be available to purchase from June 27.

The handset features a 6.7-inch QHD+ curved AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate and a punch hole for the 32MP selfie camera. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 ROM.

The triple camera setup on the phone includes a 48MP Sony IMX586 primary sensor with OIS, 12MP Sony IMX708 ultra-wide unit, and a 13MP telephoto shooter with OIS.

It runs ColorOS 7.1 based on Android 10 and has features like 5G connectivity, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC as well as USB Type-C. Sadly, the phone neither has wireless charing nor a 3.5mm headphone jack. But it comes in two colors – Ceramic Black and Ocean Glass.

Last but not least, the device is backed by a 4,200 mAh battery with support for 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 Flash Charge fast charging technology.

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.

The post Pricing Tipped: India could be the cheapest country to buy Oppo Find X2 appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The OPPO Find X2 series already launched in China and Europe but is yet to launch in India. That is about to change as OPPO India has shared an image that teases the device is coming soon.

The image was posted on Twitter by OPPO India earlier today. Also, Amazon India already has a promotional page live on its site. The page reveals some of the key specs and it says the device has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Find X2 Pro is the model with 512GB of storage, so there is a chance it is not just the Find X2 launching.

There is no date yet for the launch but we expect more details will surface in the coming days.

The OPPO Find X2 has a 120Hz Ultra Vision screen that measures 6.7-inches. The screen is curved and has a punch-hole at the corner for the selfie camera.

There is a Snapdragon 865 processor inside the phone along with a 5G modem. There is a 48MP triple rear camera on the back of the phone and a 32MP camera in front for selfies. It also has stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 4200mAh battery capacity with support for 65W fast charge.

The Find X2 launched in Europe for €999 which converts to about INR 81,485. While OPPO does have factories in India where its phones sold there are manufactured, we do not think local manufacturing can bring the price lower than INR 65,000 (~€800).

Mobile phone benchmarking outfit AnTuTu has released its Android mobile phone performance ranking for April 2020. The top 10 flagship models are still Snapdragon 865-powered smartphones only. However, there are a few new models that moved up the ladder compared to the previous month (March).

With the release of another wave of Snapdragon 865 models, new changes have taken place in the top 10 flagship list for April. The iQOO Neo 3 and OPPO Ace 2 entered the top 10 rankings and edged the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Black Shark 3 Out of the list.

OPPO Find X2 Pro still occupies the number one spot and for the second month running with an average score of 607147 points. The Find X2 moved into the second spot, edging the Mi 10 Pro. The Find X2 rise in ranking may be related to the further improvement of stability after the firmware update.

At the third spot, is the new entrant – iQOO Neo3 while the Mi 10 Pro is now ranked at the fourth spot.  The 5th-10th places are occupied by the OPPO Ace 2, Redmi K30 Pro, iQOO 3, Realme X50 Pro, Vivo NEX 3S, and Black Shark 3 Pro in that order.

Antutu noted that smartphones with a higher screen refresh rate (90/120Hz or higher) and faster flash memory (UFS 3.1 or UFS 3.0 with Turbo Write enabled) will perform better than smartphones without these upgrades even though they both run on the same mobile platform. Also, software optimisation is still another important aspect which perhaps explains why the Blackshark 3 Pro is at the bottom of the ladder despite packing a powerful hardware configuration including a heat dissipation system.

Every time new flagships series get released, everyone looks at the Pro versions and a lot of people do not understand that vanilla versions have a way higher value for money and they can be enough for their needs. That may be the case of Huawei P40, Oppo Find X2 and Xiaomi Mi 10. If you do not need the most impressive camera ever and a few other special features such as a waterproof design and wireless charging, they can let you save a lot of money while still being the perfect devices for you. But which is the best device for your needs from this trio? Through this comparison, we will try to give you the answer to this question.

Huawei P40 vs Oppo Find X2 vs Xiaomi Mi 10

Design

Oppo Find X2 is one step forward when it comes to the aesthetics, at least in its ceramic variant. Besides offering a very high screen-to-body ratio and a camera module comprising all the camera elements, the device has a ceramic back and it is also splash resistant with the IP54 certification. While Oppo Find X2 offers a more premium design, Huawei P40 has a more compact body. With its smaller display, it is much easier for one-handed use and to keep in a pocket. But its huge camera module and its big punch hole are not the best solutions to make a beautiful phone. Xiaomi Mi 10 sits in the middle but unlike the Huawei P40 and the Oppo Find X2 it does not offer any protection against dust and water.

Display

Oppo Find X2 is one of the best smartphones for display quality. It has exactly the same panel as the Oppo Find X2 Pro and it is superior to both Huawei P40 and Xiaomi Mi 10 by a huge margin. It offers a high Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a 240 Hz touch-sampling rate, up to 800 nits brightness, HDR and complete DCI-P3 gamut. The second place goes to Xiaomi Mi 10 boasting a 90 Hz refresh rate, a 180 Hz touch-sampling rate, and HDR10+. Huawei P40 is disappointing if we compare its display to Xiaomi Mi 10 and Oppo Find X2, but it has a more compact size.

Hardware/Software

With the Oppo Find X2 and Xiaomi Mi 10, you get a better chipset: the Snapdragon 865 paired with a Snapdragon X55 which is an external 5G modem supporting both sub-6 GHz frequencies and mmWave. You even get exactly the same memory configurations, so you should not notice big differences in performance. What differs is the software side, but excellent software in both cases. The ColorOS 7 contains several improvements and new features compared to the sixth version, and the MIUI 11 is amazing as well. Huawei P40 has a less performing chipset and less RAM, and it does not come with Google services out of the box.

Camera

If we talk about the camera we still can not give you a definitive verdict since we still did not test all the cameras. While Xiaomi Mi 10 might offer better capabilities at video recording, Oppo Find X2 and Huawei P40 may actually give you a better overall experience. But specs on the paper are not enough to judge the overall quality of these devices like camera phones.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 is the winner of the battery comparison since it packs a way bigger 4780 mAh battery which should last a lot more on a single charge. It is also the only to support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. On the other hand, Oppo Find X2 has the fastest wired charging technology with a power of 65W. The phone is able to go from 0 to 100 percent in just 38 minutes.

Price

Huawei P40 and Xiaomi Mi 10 have a starting price of €800 globally, Oppo Find X2 will cost €999 (12/256 GB). There is not a definitive winner of this comparison, but I would not go for the Huawei P40 for that price. Oppo Find X2 is my favorite one due to its amazing display and fastest charging technology, as well as an amazing triple camera. But Xiaomi Mi 10 will offer a longer battery life and wireless charging, so it is still a valid handset.

Oppo had recently launched its latest Find X2 series. This included the Oppo Find X2 and Find X2 Pro. The flagship series features top notch specs and also carries a high price tag. So it is advised to be careful with the device since even if its repairs and spare parts are expensive as well.

For those unaware, the base Oppo Find X2 is priced at 5,499 Yuan (roughly 774 USD) while the high end variant, Find X2 Pro, is sold for 6,999 Yuan (roughly 985 USD). So, you can already tell that the handset is pretty pricey. Over this, the price of Oppo Find X2 Pro’s display panel is 1,750 Yuan (roughly 246 USD) outside of warranty. Similarly, the repairs for the motherboard (2GB +256GB variant) is 3,190 Yuan (roughly 450 USD).

Arriving at the optics, the primary sensor, ultra wide angle, and telephoto lens spares cost 560 Yuan, 390 Yuan and 490 Yuan (roughly 78, 54 and 68 USD) respectively. The battery replacement is relatively affordable with a charge of just 129 Yuan (roughly 18 USD). On the other hand, the repairs and replacements of the base Find X2’s motherboard, battery, and rear camera setup are a bit lower, but the front camera and battery costs remain the same.

However, looking at the entire cost overall, the prices of the repairs are definitely not cheap. So, it is highly advised to get a good protective case to give your Find X2 series smartphone a better chance in surviving accidental falls. One can also look into a warranty extension and damage protection policies as well since you never know what may happen. Although, just a bit of caution goes a long way and one shouldn’t require such proactive steps.

Vivo NEX 3S 5G is official: the upgraded version of the revolutionary NEX 3 just debuted as a very interesting affordable flagship and it will go on sale on March 14 in China. But the competition is very fierce when it comes to affordable flagships: is the Vivo NEX 3S 5G really the best choice for the money asked? We think there is no better way to know it than comparing it to the best affordable Chinese flagships unveiled in the most recent period. And we are talking about Oppo Find X2 and Xiaomi Mi 10, two devices with amazing specifications that will not carry the highest prices in the market. Below you can find an in-depth specs comparison.

Vivo NEX 3S 5G vs Oppo Find X2 vs Xiaomi Mi 10

Design

The presence of a Waterfall FullView, notch-less and holeless display would definitely let me go for the Vivo NEX 3S 5G if I had to choose the device with the most amazing design. But let’s explain those three terms better. The Waterfall display of the NEX 3S 5G is a display with extremely curved edges reaching almost 90 degrees: thanks to this solution, not only the phone provides a very high screen-to-body ratio, but it also replaces the physical buttons with a side touch technology. Further, it is a display without notch and holes since the phone sports a motorized pop-up camera. When it comes to the whole body of the devices, I personally prefer the Oppo Find X2 since it comes in a ceramic version and it is splash proof and dust resistant with the IP54 certification. I would not go for the Xiaomi Mi 10 at all.

Display

Oppo Find X2 is equipped with the king of displays: a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a high Quad HD+ resolution, a high 120 Hz refresh rate and a high 240 Hz touch sampling rate, a very high brightness and an amazing color accuracy (100% DCI-P3 coverage and 0.8 JNCD certified). The silver medal goes to the Xiaomi Mi 10 sporting a Full HD+ AMOLED panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, Vivo NEX 3S 5G does not provide a high refresh rate, but it has a wide 6.89-inch panel which is even HDR10+ compliant, so still a great display. But obviously, Oppo Find X2 wins the comparison.

Hardware/Software

Oppo Find X2, Vivo NEX 3S 5G, and Xiaomi Mi 10 5G are all powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset supporting dual-mode 5G connectivity and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Vivo NEX 3S 5G is slightly more advanced because it packs a UFS 3.1 internal storage, while Xiaomi Mi 10 5G and Oppo Find X2 come with UFS 3.0 storage. But this does not mean Vivo NEX 3S 5G will automatically offer the highest performance as software optimization will play an important role here. Android 10 is installed out of the box and highly-customized by ColorOS 7, Funtouch OS 10 and MIUI 11, respectively.

Camera

While Xiaomi Mi 10 offers the most impressive main sensor in its quad rear camera, it does not offer so much when it comes to secondary sensors. Well, it can record 8K videos, but unlike Oppo Find X2, it lacks a telephoto lens. On the paper, I personally prefer the Oppo Find X2 due to the presence of a telephoto lens and a 64 MP main sensor (both supporting OIS), as well as a higher-end selfie camera. Vivo NEX 3S 5G is inferior to both: despite coming with a telephoto sensor, it does not support OIS, either for the main sensor of its triple camera. Further, the main sensor is a midrange-class Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1.

Battery

The battery is one of the strongest points of Xiaomi Mi 10: despite being a more affordable version, it has an even bigger battery than Mi 10 Pro with a huge 4780 mAh capacity, and it will probably last a lot more than Oppo Find X2 and Vivo NEX 3S 5G. Further, unlike its two rivals, it features both fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Vivo NEX 3S 5G comes right after in terms of battery life, while Oppo Find X2 has the fastest charging technology.

Price

Oppo Find X2 starts from €701/$792 in China, Vivo NEX 3S 5G will be priced €630/$712 in its base variant, and Xiaomi Mi 10’s listing price will be just €530/$599 for the base variant. If we exclude battery life, Oppo Find X2 is way superior to Vivo NEX 3S 5G and Xiaomi Mi 10 5G in terms of overall specifications. So if you want the best phone, you should go for it unless you need a very long battery life: in that case, Xiaomi Mi 10 5G is a more convincing device. Vivo NEX 3S 5G offers the most impressive aesthetics and a bigger display, but it lacks a flagship camera and a high refresh rate that is the trending feature of the moment.

After the delay caused by the Coronavirus outbreak, Oppo launched its new lineup of flagship smartphones, and just like the flagship lineup launched in 2020 by Samsung and Xiaomi, it includes more than a phone. The “affordable” variant is the Oppo Find X2. After comparing the Find X2 Pro with the most advanced flagship launched by Samsung and Xiaomi, in this article, we decided to compare their affordable variants. Here is a specs comparison between Oppo Find X2, Samsung Galaxy S20+ and the vanilla Xiaomi Mi 10.

Oppo Find X2 vs Samsung Galaxy S20+ vs Xiaomi Mi 10

Design

Independently from the device, you always get a premium design with a glass back and an aluminum frame. Samsung Galaxy S20+ is more interesting in terms of build quality because, besides providing the Gorilla Glass 6 protection front and back, it is also a waterproof phone with the IP68 certification. In my personal opinion, Oppo Find X2 is definitely more attractive with its smaller camera module and its ceramic body (only in the Ceramic Black color variant), but it is just splash resistant. Xiaomi Mi 10 does not provide any certification against dust and water, but it has a very minimalistic and beautiful design.

Display

Due to the presence of a high 120 Hz refresh rate, a high 240 Hz touch sampling rate, an amazing color accuracy, and a very high resolution, our favorite display panel is the one found on the Oppo Find X2. It is likely one of the best panels ever made and on the paper, it looks more convincing than the still amazing display of the Samsung Galaxy S20+. The Galaxy S20+ takes second place, while Xiaomi Mi 10 loses the comparison again due to a lower resolution and a lower refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

Each of these devices is fueled by the same processor, with the exception of the European version of the Samsung Galaxy S20+ coming with an Exynos 990 chipset. Even the RAM is the same in the top-end configuration, while Samsung Galaxy S20+ doubles the internal storage to 512 GB in its most advanced variant, compared to its rivals. Further, it is the only with expandable internal storage (you can expand the storage through a micro SD slot). In each case, you can find Android 10 out of the box.

Camera

At least until we test each of these devices thoroughly, it will be hard to establish which one provides the best photo quality. Despite the presence of a 108 MP main sensor on the Xiaomi Mi 10, Oppo Find X2 and Samsung Galaxy S20+ look more convincing due to better secondary sensors. On the paper, Samsung Galaxy S20+ is more interesting with a quad camera including a 64 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and a 12 MP main sensor with OIS. But you should not underestimate the 48 MP triple camera of the Oppo Find X2.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 has a bigger battery and, given that it also comes with a lower display resolution and a lower refresh rate, we believe it will last more on a single charge. Oppo Find X2 features the fastest charging technology, but unlike the Xiaomi Mi 10 and the Samsung Galaxy S20+, it does not support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

Price

Xiaomi Mi 10 launched in China with a €530/$606 starting price, Samsung Galaxy S20+ costs €999/$999 globally, and Oppo Find X2 will sell for €999 globally as well. It will surely have a higher value for money, but Xiaomi Mi 10 is an inferior device to Samsung Galaxy S20+ and Oppo Find X2. For some kinds of users, on the paper, the Samsung Galaxy S20+ may look more complete than Oppo Find X2 since it has some special features such as IP68 certification and wireless charging which you do not get on the Oppo Find X2. On the other hand, the Find X2 offers faster charging speeds and an awesome display, so we can not say that it is inferior to the Samsung Galaxy S20+. Which one would you pick?

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.

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.

Oppo was initially expected to unveil the Find X2 during MWC 2020 in Barcelona. But the abrupt cancelation has led to no announcement of the smartphone to surface. Now, a new report suggests that the Chinese tech giant is still on track with the launch which will apparently take place on the 6th of March 2020.

The first quarter of 2020 is always bustling with multiple launches from various different OEMs. The Mobile World Congress which is held during this time also serves as a platform for high end launches and reveals. However, since the cancelation of the event due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak, many OEMs have to now resort to independent promotion. Previously, Oppo had set a separate date of 22nd February after MWC got canceled, for the launch of the Find X2, but it seems that the date has been pushed further back.

Oppo Find X2 is the highly anticipated successor to the original Find X and is expected to feature a similar futuristic design.

Now, a screenshot of the fast charging tech for the upcoming phone, shared on Weibo, also reveals support for 30W wireless fast charging.

Along with fast wireless charging, the smartphone will also support reverse charging. The company will also introduce some new features for the wireless charging technology, including “disable when the battery is too low”, “offset reminder”, “optimize during sleep”, etc.

However, there’s seems to be a catch for the fast 30W wireless charging technology as the phone could only support such high speed with OPPO’s wireless charging base and not any other products.

As per the reports, the OPPO Find X2 could come with a 6.5-inch display with a punch-hole that features a Sony IMX616 32-megapixel selfie snapper. The display is expected to support quad HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate along with a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. The other features that will be offered by the phone’s screen include 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut support, HDR up to 1200nits brightness and SDR to HDR conversion.

Under the hood, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 mobile platform will be powering the device. The phone may come with a charger that supports 65W fast charging capabilities.  The device will be equipped with other features like LPDDR5 RAM, USB 3.0 storage and Wi-Fi 6.

Rumors indicate that the phone will come with a periscope telephoto lens of 13-megapixel. Its main Sony IMX689 48-megapixel lens is a custom sensor co-developed by Sony and OPPO. Also, the new Sony IMX708 super-wide lens with widest photography capabilities is expected to make its debut on the Find X2.

While the scheduled launch event for the OPPO Find X2 in Barcelona on 22nd February has been canceled, the company has said that it will share more information about the phone’s launch in March 2020 in the coming days or weeks.

Companies like Xiaomi, Realme, and OPPO had pre-MWC events scheduled in Barcelona, Spain this month. However, with the MWC 2020 being canceled, we wondered whether these companies would go ahead with their individual events. Now, OPPO has come forward to announce that it has rescheduled its Find X2 Global Launch event to March. The company’s flagship was initially set to launch on Feb. 22, just before MWC 2020 kicked off in Barcelona.

OPPO, in an official statement, said, “OPPO respects and understands GSMA’s decision to cancel the MWC Barcelona 2020 event. After serious consideration, we have also decided to reschedule the OPPO Find X2 Global Launch Event, originally scheduled on 22nd February. As of now, the event will be rescheduled for March and more information will be shared soon. Thank you for your continued support, and we kindly look forward to unveiling our latest flagship 5G smartphone in the near future.”

The company is expected to announce more details in the coming weeks. All we know right now is that the announcement is going to be held in March. It’s the same month the Huawei P40 Pro is also expected to launch in China, so things could get heated in the premium segment.

Xiaomi, Realme, and Nubia, had individual flagship launch events before MWC. It’s likely that all those events are going to be rescheduled for a later date. However, we are waiting for an official response from these companies.

OPPO’s Find X2 is expected to come with a punch-hole curved AMOLED display with a triple camera setup at the back. The phone’s highlight could be its camera setup that’s rumored to feature the custom 48MP IMX689 Sony sensor and an IMX708 Sony lens for extreme ultra-wide shots.

OPPO has been actively launching new devices and now the company seems to be all set to launch its next-generation Find-series flagship phone — OPPO Find X2.

Ahead of the officially announcement, screen protector of the upcoming smartphone has surfaced online, which reveals some interesting information about the phone’s design. It shows that the device will have a punch-hole cut-out for the front-facing camera.

Further, the image shows that while the phone won’t feature a waterfall screen, it does have curved edges on the sides which is more than the usual curve. The bezels at the sides are also extremely thin.

The OPPO Find X2 will come with a hyperboloid OLED display with a punch-hole cut-out and will be offering 2K+ screen resolution at 120Hz refresh rate. It is said that the phone may use COP packaging process for this flagship device.

As per the rumors, the device will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC and will support dual-mode 5G with SA and NSA modes. Also, the phone’s battery capacity isn’t expected to be more than 4,000mAh and will reportedly comes with support for 65W VOOC fast charging support.

Recently, reports started surfacing online that the company has jointly developed the Sony IMX689 camera sensor for the OPPO Find X2. The Sony IMX689 is said to be the world’s first all-pixel omnidirectional focusing technology.

This 48-megapixel primary camera sensor will be coupled with a Sony IMX708 and a 13-megapixel telephoto sensor with 5x hybrid optical zooms support. The Sony IMX708 that will premiere on the Find X2 is the said to be the strongest super-wide lens. At the front, the Find X2 will be equipped with a Sony IMX616 32-megapixel selfie camera.

While the company has not yet revealed anything related to the launch date of the flagship OPPO Find X2 smartphone, it won’t be surprising if the company choose to launch the device at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2020 later this month in Barcelona.

For several reasons, OPPO Find series has often been very popular even when there was a long hiatus before the company released the Find X in 2018. The Find X was an impressive flagship model which featured an innovative slider mechanism and a bezel-less design. OPPO didn’t release a successor in 2019 but is already prepping up a successor which would be known as Find X2. The OPPO Find X2 has now been certified and it came with a surprise- there is a Find X2 Pro in the works! The Find X2 Pro also got certified.

The models were certified by Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). While the Find X2 appears with the model number OPPO CPH2023, the Find X2 Pro is listed as OPPO-CPH2025. The listing mentions nothing about the specifications of both model but before now, we had seen some leaks of the Find X2.

The OPPO Find X2 is expected to pack a Snapdragon 865 chipset as well as Sony’s latest IMX689 and IMX708 image sensors. The Find X2 was earlier confirmed to pack a WQHD (1440p) display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The tweet further adds that the OPPO Find X2 will include support for 65-watt SuperVOOC fast charging which will be able to charge up the device to full in just 35 minutes. We expect the Find X2 Pro to feature a more premium hardware configuration but both would likely have the same design

At this moment, we don’t know more than these details of the Find X2 and there is no information what makes the Find X2 Pro distinct. However, we expect more details to surface as the launch inches closer.
