Creatively Innovative – How the OPPO Find X is the most unique flagship phone you can buy

The stylish Find X by OPPO is the culmination of OPPO’s extensive research and development in smartphone design, ergonomics studies and precision engineering to create what is considered as one of the most innovatively designed phones on the planet.

The OPPO Find X brings to the table a host of exciting features paired with one of the largest screen-to-body aspect ratios in any smartphone currently available in the market along with a raft of top-shelf specifications that also make it one of the most powerful phones ever made. All of this is ensconced within a slim and beautifully crafted glass chassis that is also both robust and functional in equal measure. Here’s an up-close look at why the OPPO Find X is one of the most eXceptional phones that money can buy.

The Find X Factor

The OPPO Find X goes above and beyond the mores and norms of contemporary smartphone design as it attempts to meld natural form factors like river-smoothed stones and the elegant play of light on glaciers with a stunningly elegant form factor that fits easily into one’s hand.

Weighing just 186g and measuring in at a mere 9.6mm thin, the Find X strikes a distinctive picture of simplicity and beauty on account of its unique multi-faceted reflective finish that is available in either Bordeaux Red or Glacier Blue. To achieve this distinctive finish, OPPO has introduced a unique three dimensional gradient effect with gentle curves on the rear and all around to create a play of light and colour across its finish that changes as you move the phone about under sunlight. This is then further reinforced with Gorilla Glass 5 on both the rear and the front, lending the phone a fair measure of durability without compromising its aesthetics.

What immediately draws the eye in at first glance when you flip the OPPO Find X around is a massive 19.5:9 aspect ratio FHD+ OLED Panoramic Arc touchscreen up front which is, to date, one of the largest screen-to-body ratio display currently available in a smartphone today. This is on account of amazingly slim top and side bezels which measure in at 1.65mm at its thinnest point to accommodate the expansively large screen.

Another unique feature of note on the Find X is the inclusion of Skyline Pulse Lights which has the edges of the huge AMOLED display gently glow in a hypnotically rhythmic fashion when you get an incoming message or update.

Look closer and the astute observer will wonder where the cameras of the Find X have gone to, seeing as the entire expanse of the phone is a seamlessly smooth series of curves with nary a sensor in sight but that’s where the Find X marks the spot.

How the OPPO Find X marks the spot

 

The OPPO Find X departs from traditional mores and the conventional constraints of smartphone design to create something truly unique. Instead of permanently mounting cameras into the chassis that would besmirch its smooth lines and seamless finish, the Find X incorporates a revolutionary slide-out mechanism that silently and smoothly rises up out of the phone on whisper silent motors to reveal a sophisticated front and rear camera array. Able to swiftly rise up in just half a second, the unique mechanism is also tested by OPPO to function thousands of times without error.

Rising up on a virtually silent series of motors is a front-facing 25-MP f/2.0 selfie camera using a Sony IMX576 sensor paired with OPPO’s enhanced AI allowing you to intuitively capture selfies with pleasing clarity. It also integrates a host of sensors along with the aforementioned AI to offer robust facial recognition biometrics security and allowing you to unlock the Find X by simply holding it up to your face.

On the rear of the slide-out array is a dual camera array that pairs up a 16-MP f/2.0 camera with a secondary 20-MP f/2.0 camera with both cameras also using Sony camera sensors that allow users to capture beautiful imagery as well as luscious video in 4K resolution. To ensure shareworthy results, OPPO has integrated their Scene Recognition 2.0 tech that helps to intuitively select the best option out of 21 photography modes. The rear cameras of the Find X also take advantage of  RAW HDR tech, essentially capturing images in RAW format and rather than compressing the data for final output, directly synthesises the final image to offer excellent detail and clarity.

Both the front and rear camera array also integrate OPPO’s sophisticated AI algorithms, allowing it to mimic elaborate 3D lighting effects on portraiture, enabling users to create sophisticated lighting effects previously achievable with only an expensive in-house studio with just the Find X alone. With the OPPO Find X users are also able to take advantage of an  AI Beauty mode to offer subtle and intelligent beautification unique to each gender with results viewable in real time.

Powerful cameras and a stand-out design aren’t the only things that the Find X possesses as it has an array of specifications that make it an eXceptional eXtraordinaire indeed.

In addition to the stunning gradient finish and innovative slide-out camera, the OPPO Find X is appointed with an exceptional array of specifications that ensures that it is every bit as powerful as it is beautiful to behold.

Thrumming beneath the mirrored finish is the latest Android Oreo 8.1 running on a cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 octacore processor. As Qualcomm’s most powerful mobile octacore processor currently in service, the Snapdragon 845 offers enhanced graphics performance and reduced power consumption compared to its generational predecessor. This is paired with a class-leading 8GB LPDDR4X RAM along with a generous 256GB of storage for movies, gaming, apps and more.

 

In keeping with its exceptional performance and design, OPPO has also seen fit to incorporate a generously sized 3,630mAh battery into the Find X that allows for all-day use. Complementing this is OPPO’s proprietary Super VOOC charging technology, allowing for the battery to be fully charged in just 35 minutes in a safe and efficient fashion on account of a number of built-in protective measures that ensures that the phone will not overheat or incur damage.

 

OPPO Find X eXcellence eXemplified

 

Exuding elegance, beauty and performance in every inch of its design, the OPPO Find X is an exemplary example of form and function melding together into a seamless, perfect whole.

With premium design melded with world class specifications, the OPPO Find X is a phone unlike any other that acts as a subtle yet tangible statement of taste. Retailing at RM3,699, the OPPO Find X is now available at all good retailers nationwide and at the OPPO online store.
