Almost two years after the launch of its first Oppo Find X smartphone, the one with a cool mechanical pop-up camera, the Chinese giant has taken the wraps off its Find X2 and Find X2 Pro flagship phones at its London event today.
Starting off with the design, Oppo never disappoints and well, the Find X2 Pro has been unveiled in two different variants. One is a soft and silky ceramic edition while the other is an orange vegan leather edition that looks funky and not as elegant as the former.
And well, we are not done talking about the display just yet. Oppo Find X2 Pro also packs inside a dedicated custom chip dubbed O1 Ultra Vision Engine. It will enable the device to upscale 30fps to 60fps/120fps (motion smoothening) and SD content to HD content for a more immersive experience. OnePlus 8 series is also going to include a similar MEMC chip but we will have to wait and see if the company offers a button to activate/deactivate the feature as Oppo does.
The primary sensor is coupled with the 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor (yes, it’s present here) but it’s handling the ultra-wide-angle tasks, offering an f/2.2 aperture and a 120-degree field of view. Finally, we have a second-gen 13MP (f/3.0) periscope-cum-telephoto sensor on board that offers 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 60x digital zoom capabilities. It’s an upgrade over the periscope sensor we saw on the Reno 10x Zoom last year.
Having an ultra-wide video camera with up to 120 degrees of field-of-view and a 16:9 sensor size means you will be able to record some amazing videos. And well, the IMX708 sensor will enable you to capture stunning low-light videos as well. All of the other camera features remain pretty much the same.
Both the Find X2 and X2 Pro are available in a single RAM+storage configuration. Find X2 has been priced at 999 euros (around Rs. 83,299) for the 12GB+256GB variant whereas Find X2 Pro will be sold for 1,199 euros (around Rs. 99,999) for the single 12GB+512GB variant.
There’s currently no word on when (or if) Oppo plans to bring its latest Find X2 series to India, but I’m excited to get my hands on this flagship smartphone. That display is quite appealing and I know, we can expect to see something similar on the OnePlus 8 series in the coming weeks.
