Oppo Find X2 Pro smartphone review with key features

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

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

Cameras are equipped with a huge stock of functions and pleasant surprises, which allows you to take photos in perfect quality. All provided opportunities are developed by specialists from the DxO laboratory.

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

Model characteristics

Software and memory

The hardware part of the flagship is built on 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. The matrix is ​​of high quality, which provides an appropriate picture. The dot density is very high, which can reproduce images with QHD + resolution. But even this is not the main advantage of the gadget.

The main surprise is the following: the scan frequency supported by the device's screen is 120 Hertz. In addition, it does not depend on the selected resolution, because works with both lowered Full HD + and standard. If we compare this ability with, for example, a novelty from Samsung - the flagships of the Galaxy S20, then we can see that the last smartphone is significantly inferior.

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

Nevertheless, it is no secret that Korean and Japanese products were superior to Chinese ones in two criteria: camera and moisture protection. For this reason, it is necessary to talk in more detail about these categories.

Moisture protection

Find X2 Pro has 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 formally, because situations are different, and product drowning was never considered a warranty case, although 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 that formally increases the number of modules. This is undoubtedly a plus. Macro shooting 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 μm, which is considered a very high figure.

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

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

Periscopic optics are located in the third chamber. The long-focus module supports 5x optical zoom. Moreover, it is really fivefold, there is no scaling or crop. These values ​​allow you to noticeably zoom in on the desired subject 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 compromising focus. With the main camera, you can record 4K video. 8K is not provided, however, such a function is often not in demand in other smartphones.

The front camera should be noted separately: 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 overview of the smartphone camera

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

Separately, the experts noted a very wide dynamic range. The correct exposure is not affected by lighting or shooting scenarios. All photos have rich and natural colors.

Autofocus has become the 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 terms of rating. However, the brightness noise of the Oppo Find X2 Pro is less pronounced. If the lighting is good, then this defect will be practically invisible, but when shooting monochrome areas where the lighting is artificial, digital noise becomes more noticeable.

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

To detail the image, a fivefold optical approximation is used. At the same time, the sharpness remains decent. Here, the model surpasses even the iPhone 11.

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

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 perspective distortion is minimal. Detail is inferior to the main camera. When shooting indoors, luminance noise appears and the corners are not sharp enough. Generally speaking, the wide-angle camera is good, but not the best.

Night photos are great, but there are still some drawbacks. I would like the detail in night images to be higher and the shutter speed slower, which would contribute to obtaining better images.

Filming

The camera stabilizes well and focuses quickly regardless of the lighting. 4K videos are saturated with vibrant colors, and digital noise is virtually non-existent. But HDR performance is unstable due to high contrast.

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: leather in bright orange color and ceramic black case. The first is suitable for lovers of extraordinary solutions, and the second is a representative of the classic style. Although the case is thinner in ceramic, the weight is increased. Accordingly, the skin makes the gadget thicker, but lighter.

Ceramic is more scratch resistant than leather. But, on the other hand, the touch on the skin is much more pleasant, and the grip is more reliable. It should be noted that the phone comes with a transparent silicone case. In addition, the standard kit includes a power supply with a capacity of 65 watts, Type-C and headphones. It is not possible to connect analog headphones, because the corresponding connector is missing.
