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.

In January this year at the CES 2020, OnePlus announced the Concept One smartphone which is equipped with a rear glass panel that has electrochromic technology in order to hide the rear cameras. The Reno 5 Pro+ 5G that was launched recently also has electrochromic technology on the rear panel.

There are indications that the technology may become a new trend in the mobile phone circle next year. According to noted tipster Digital Chat Station, the electrochromic technology which premiered on the Concept One and is going commercial on the Reno 5 Pro + will be utilized on many phones next year.  The source tips mobile phone manufacturers such as Vivo, Xiaomi, Meizu, and Nubia as working on smartphones that will use electrochromic technology. Testing of this technology has reportedly started.

Electrochromic technology uses an invisible alloy called tungsten oxide. When tungsten oxide is applied to glass, the surface can conduct electricity, and the passed charge can change the composition of glass molecules, thereby generating a variety of gorgeous colors.

This technology allows users to customize the color of the back cover of the mobile phone and can prompt the user accordingly by changing the color of the back cover according to different application scenarios for functions such as incoming calls, message notifications, or health.

It is worth mentioning that, although the principle of electrochromic technology is complicated, it has minimal impact on the battery power of mobile phones. On the OnePlus Concept One, the electrochromic rear panel is monitored to consume only 2-3mAh of battery power in one hour.

At present, electrochromic technology has been widely used in buildings, airplanes, and automotive glass. It is believed that this technology will become one of the selling points of various mobile phone manufacturers in the near future.
