Oppo Find X price, specs and features: Everything you need to know

Updated on

Oppo has finally launched its flagship phone – Oppo Find X – at the lavish reveal event held at the Louvre in Paris. Fans and industry experts were anxiously waiting for the flagship, for which the biggest highlight is the motorized camera slider that pops out from the top. If you are thinking this is just another slider that won’t last long, Oppo says the slider has been tested for durability for over 300,000 times.

Oppo Find X – unique features

Apart from the slider, another key feature that Oppo has come up with is the facial scanning technology called the O-Face Recognition, to compensate for the absence of the fingerprint recognition. The Chinese company claims that the 3D tech is powered by a 3D Structured Light Technology, which has never been used on an Android phone before. To read the face, the tech considers 15,000 facial dot recognition and intelligent analysis.

Further, there is also an IR sensor that allows the O-Face to work in the dark as well. According to Oppo, the O-Face Recognition tech is twenty times safer than the fingerprint recognition. The Oppo Find X also brings animated 3D emojis – referred to as 3D Omoji –  something similar to the iPhone X. The feature allows a user to create a cartoon or funny image to mimic their facial expression in real-time.

Talking of the design, the Oppo Find X is fitted with a bezel-less display having a small chin, an attempt to compete with makers like Apple and Samsung. Further, it has the Galaxy S9-like curve around the side edges. It has a shiny metal back with curved edges.

What’s interesting to note is that the handset does not have camera sensors on the front or the back as there is the motorized slider that opens and closes automatically with the camera app. The slider includes a dual camera setup at the back and a single front camera.

“With no holes visible on the screen and the unified design, OPPO Find X offers exceptional smooth handling and exudes pure beauty. Any time or place, the OPPO Find X will be the center of attention,” Oppo says.

Oppo Find X – specs

The Oppo Find X runs on ColorOS 5.1, which is based on the Android 8.1 Oreo. The handset sports a 6.42-inch (1080×2340 pixels) full-HD+ AMOLED display with 93.8% screen-to-body ratio, 19.5:9 aspect ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The Oppo Find X is powered by Snapdragon 845 SoC with Adreno 630 GPU, and comes with 8GB of RAM.
