The Find X is the latest flagship smartphone from OPPO and is also quite the standout among the crowd of Android-based phones. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider the OPPO Find X as your next smartphone purchase. 

1.) BYE BYE NOTCHES & HELLO FULL SCREEN

Instead of boring notches, the OPPO Find X’s “Stealth 3D” motorized camera will slide up to pop-out of the frame and expose the front-facing and rear cameras when you launch the camera app! Close the camera app and the camera will slide neatly back into the phone in half a second.

With its hidden camera, the OPPO Find X has an incredible 93.8 percent screen-to-body ratio that houses a 6.4-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels. For comparison, the iPhone X has a screen-to-body ratio of 82.9 percent.

2.) THE CAMERAS PACK SOMETHING SPECIAL TOO

The front camera has an incredible 25-megapixel sensor for glorious selfies and wefies, which OPPO has combined with a 3D camera array that is able to figure out lighting to more accurately illuminate your face.

Over at the rear, the OPPO Find X has dual cameras: a 16-megapixel sensor with f/2.0 lens, and the other a 20-megapixel sensor paired with f/2.2 lens. This allows you to achieve portrait mode photography beautifully. Combined with the impressive 5x optical zoom, the OPPO Find X can be a powerful camera in the hands of a seasoned photographer.

3.) OPPO’S O-FACE RECOGNITION

The OPPO Find X’s front camera is also used for facial recognition either for unlocking the phone or for cashless payments. OPPO is calling it the O-Face, and through the “3D Structured Light Technology” in the OPPO Find X, is capable of projecting 15,000 infra-red dots onto a user’s face. These are then analysed to identity your unique facial features and is touted to be safer than fingerprint recognition.

4.) GORGEOUS FINISH

The OPPO Find X is available in two colors, “Bordeaux Red” and “Glacier Blue”, and they are meant to ‘gleam’ like a precious gemstone when viewed at different angles. What this means is that the phone’s gradient finish is slightly different depending on the angle at which you look at them, because of the way the color runs through the body of the phones.

5.) IT’S OPPO’S NEW FLAGSHIP

But the OPPO Find X is no slouch in the hardware department either. A premium phone, after all, must be as powerful as it looks good. Running on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM, the OPPO Find X will run today’s apps or games thrown at it with ease. Mobile Legends and PUBG Mobile? The Find X has you covered.

Two storage options will be available when purchasing the OPPO Find X - 128GB and 256GB. That’s plenty of space for your apps, games, photos and more. It also has a massive bi-cell 3,400mAh battery (each rated at 1,700mAh) sealed inside, and the 256GB model features OPPO’s SuperVOOC Flash Charge technology, allowing the phone to be fully charged within 35 minutes via its USB Type-C port.
