The Find X2 Pro.
Oppo's latest flagship was announced last night, the Find X2 Pro. The Find X2 Pro is the sequel to the Oppo Find X, an innovative phone that had a motorized pop-up top, unveiling a camera and facial recognition system from behind the display. The Find X2 doesn't have any radical design elements, though. It really just looks like a Samsung phone. Oppo and OnePlus are both owned by BBK and frequently share designs, so there's a good chance some of the tech here will show up on the OnePlus 8.
The phone has a 6.7-inch, 3168×1440 120Hz display, a Snapdragon 865 with 5G, 12GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, a 4260mAh battery, IP68 dust and water resistance, and three rear cameras. Oppo is definitely out-Samsunging Samsung with the display here. While The Galaxy S20 makes you choose between the full resolution or 120Hz, the Find X2 Pro lets you run at 120Hz at full resolution. On paper, it's the best display on the market. There's an in-display fingerprint reader, which Oppo says is 10 percent larger than last year's. There's no wireless charging, no headphone jack, and no expandable storage. We were hoping Oppo would do better on the price than Samsung, but at €1,199 ($1,357), the phone slots in right between the $1,199.99 S20+ and the $1,399.99 S20 Ultra.
The once-unique design touch seems to be in the back material. The black version is a polished ceramic instead of the usual glass. The last ceramic phone we tried was the Essential Phone, and while ceramic weighs more, it seems to have the same pros and cons as glass: It's RF transparent, which is good, and it has a fair bit of scratch resistance, but it's also going to shatter the first time you drop the phone. Oppo says the ceramic has a "gleaming surface that feels as silky as it looks," but I don't really want "silky" as a feel for a back material, I want it to be grippy. One option that might offer more grip is the orange color, which uses a faux leather back.
