Review of the smartphone Oppo Find X2 Pro with key features

Oppo Find X2 Pro is new this year, introduced in early March. Many fans of the brand were looking forward to the release of this model, because the predecessor of the smartphone was introduced back in 2018.

Judging by the design and style, the novelty is slightly disappointing. The original and stylish slider has been replaced with a standard body, where the cameras are located on the back panel and in the left corner of the screen. Nevertheless, such a cosmetic disadvantage (which is not for everyone) is compensated by the wide capabilities of the phone.

The cameras are equipped with a huge supply of features and pleasant surprises, which allows you to take photos in perfect quality. All provided features are developed by specialists from the DxO laboratory.

By modern standards, the Oppo Find X2 Pro has become the new leader in the DxOMark mobile camera rankings. Thus, the smartphone shares a place of honor with Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. The novelty justifies the main expectations, but it is worth getting acquainted with the gadget in more detail.

Model characteristics

Software and memory

The hardware of the flagship is built on the top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. The manufacturer presents one standard configuration: 12/512 GB. From this we can conclude that there will be enough memory in any case. Even here the phone did not disappoint. However, it is worth considering the fact that there is no slot for a memory card in the smartphone.

But the further, the more interesting.

Screen

The display diagonal is 6.7 inches. A high quality matrix that provides the corresponding picture. The dot density is very high, which allows you to reproduce images with a resolution of QHD+. But even this is not the main advantage of the gadget.

The main surprise is this: the refresh rate supported by the device's screen is 120 Hertz. In addition, it does not depend on the selected resolution, because. works both with reduced Full HD +, and with standard. If we compare this ability with, for example, a new product from Samsung - the Galaxy S20 flagships, we can see that the latest smartphone is significantly inferior.

The picture quality of the Oppo Find X2 Pro is pleasing to the eye. Maximum clarity is supported, and the maximum contrast ratio, according to the manufacturer, is 5 million to 1. The brightness does not disappoint either. In bright sunlight, you can easily see what is on the screen. Summarizing, we can say that this model is head and shoulders above the previous ones in its line and surpasses many modern smartphones from well-known brands.

However, it's no secret that Korean and Japanese products outperformed Chinese products in two ways: camera and waterproof. For this reason, it is worth discussing these categories in more detail.

Moisture protection

Find X2 Pro received a certificate confirming reliable protection against moisture. Those. now the user can safely use his gadget, for example, in the pool. But this is only formal, because situations are different, and drowning a product has never been considered a warranty case, even though moisture protection was originally declared by the manufacturer. Therefore, it is better not to check the reliability of the information.

Battery

The novelty is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 4260 mAh. There is fast charging. The power adapter has a power of 65 watts. The manufacturer claims that the charging process from 0% to 100% takes no more than 35 minutes. However, experiments show that the procedure can take up to 40 minutes. But despite this, the result is still excellent, which provides another plus for the flagship.

Camera functionality and characteristics

The smartphone is equipped with three cameras. There is no auxiliary depth sensor, which formally increases the number of modules. This is definitely a plus. Macro photography is also not supported, because it is often not used in the process, because. small objects can be easily photographed with a standard camera.

The prototype of the main camera module is the Sony IMX586 sensor. If we take a closer look at the pixels, we will end up with 2.24 microns, which is considered a very high figure.

Image stabilization is both optical and electronic. You should also focus on focus. The advantages of the main module, taken from Sony, provide the most accurate and fast focusing. This is especially noticeable in places with poor lighting.

The second module of the common camera is equipped with wide-angle optics, the viewing angle of which is 120°. The manufacturer decided to go ahead of the curve, so he equipped the wide-angle lens with one of the best sensors of our time. No less interesting is the fact that you can use the shooting capabilities at a distance of 3 cm from the object, i.e. for macro photography.

The periscope optics is located in the third chamber. The telephoto module supports 5x optical zoom. Moreover, it is really five times, there is no scaling or crop. Such values ​​allow you to significantly zoom in on the desired object and even shoot at 60x zoom.

The telephoto camera is also equipped with optical image stabilization, and the sensor resolution is 13 megapixels.Ultra Night Mode is available on all cameras, allowing you to shoot even in low-light locations without losing focus. The main camera can record 4K video. 8K is not provided, but often this function is not in demand in other smartphones.

Separately, it is worth noting the front camera: its base is the Sony IMX616 sensor with a resolution of 32 megapixels. So, the front camera can be used to record 4K video.

A detailed review of the smartphone camera

Although Oppo Find X2 Pro is not an absolute leader, but shares its place with Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, however, even this result is incredibly good, given that the brand has not even entered the top ten before.

Separately, the experts noted a very wide dynamic range. Correct exposure is independent of lighting or shooting scenario. All photos have rich and natural colors.

Autofocus has become a leader according to experts. The function does not lose its quality in poor lighting conditions and always works reliably.

However, the detail is slightly inferior to the main competitor in the rating. However, the luminance noise of the Oppo Find X2 Pro is less pronounced. If the lighting is good, then this defect will be almost invisible, but when shooting monochromatic areas where the lighting is artificial, digital noise becomes more noticeable.

The artifacts of the novelty significantly influenced the final assessment of the gadget. With standard shooting under normal conditions, artifacts are invisible, but difficult conditions contribute to their appearance. So, when shooting against a light source, they will appear.

For image detailing, a five-fold optical zoom is used. At the same time, sharpness remains decent. Here the model surpasses even the iPhone 11.

The disadvantage of a telephoto camera is the appearance of defects in the form of transparency and ghosting of the contour, as well as the deterioration of detail along the periphery of the frame.

Blurring the background is smooth, and the selection of the desired object is clear. Although it is worth noting that errors in determining the boundaries of the central object are still present, as in all smartphones, so this is not such a drawback.

The wide-angle camera has a wide dynamic range and minimal perspective distortion. Detailing is inferior to the main camera. Shooting indoors shows luminance noise to the eye, and sharpness at the corners of the frame is not enough. In general, the wide-angle camera can be safely called good, but not the best.

Night photos are excellent, but there are still some drawbacks. I would like to see more detail in night images, and a slower shutter speed, which would help to get better pictures.

Video filming

The camera stabilizes perfectly, and focusing is fast regardless of the lighting. Videos in 4K are full of vibrant colors, and digital noise is almost invisible. But working in HDR is unstable due to the high contrast ratio.

Design options and cost of the gadget

For the Oppo Find X2 Pro smartphone, only one configuration is provided - 12/512 GB. The cost of such an assembly is not low - 1199 euros, and the gadget will go on sale in May.

The design is presented in two versions: bright orange leather and ceramic black case. The first is suitable for lovers of extraordinary solutions, and the second is a representative of the classical style. Although the case is thinner in the ceramic finish, the weight increases. Accordingly, the skin makes the gadget thicker, but lighter.

Ceramic is more scratch resistant than leather. But, on the other hand, touching the skin is much more pleasant, and the grip is more reliable. It is worth noting that the phone comes with a transparent silicone case. In addition, the standard set includes a 65-watt power supply, Type-C and headphones. It is not possible to connect analog headphones, because. there is no corresponding socket.

Advantages and disadvantages

• The latest processor;
• Large amount of RAM and ROM;
• Battery capacity and fast charging support;
• Latest OS version as of release date;
• Excellent camera performance.

• There is no separate slot for a memory card;
• No 3.5mm headphone jack.

The new Oppo Find X2 Pro is almost flawless, the only thing that can overshadow the purchase is the high cost. However, for the money spent, the user receives an ultra-modern device. Buy right away or wait for the Oppo Find X2 Pro to drop in price, or maybe choose another popular model? The choice is yours.
