If you are off on a Christmas break, or just looking forward to getting away next year, the Oppo Find X8 Pro is a very appealing Androidsmartphonefor travel photography, reckons Aria.
I’ve recently come back from a press trip to Norway with Oppo, testing theFind X8 Pro. Although the trip was short we went to some amazing places around the very northerly town of Tromsø – the third largest urban area north of the Artic Circle.
While Tromsø is not an obvious destination in December if you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder – sunrise isn’t until around 9am and it’s dark by 1.30pm – the local scenery is truly spectacular.
As a curtain raiser to my colleague Amy Davies’s forthcoming full review of the Oppo Find X8 Pro, I’m sharing some of my early impressions of the phone from the perspective of travel photography.
The Oppo Find X8 Pro has a lot of cool features, but one that came in very handy during boat trips to the fjords and the rugged Senja island was the XPAN mode. It’s a really great tool for panoramic shots.
Basically, XPAN is a shooting mode which allows you to take quick and easy panoramic shots in the 65:24 format. Readers with a longer memory may remember that the XPan / TX-1 line of cameras emerged through a collaboration with Fujifilm and Hasselblad in the 90s, and the ‘Cinemascope’ look has been been emulated on the Oppo Find X8 Pro (Hasselblad’s Master Camera System is a key selling point of the new phone, further cementing the tie-up between two companies).
The resolution of images made with the XPAN mode is 7872×2912/ 2912x 7872 with 15mm, 23mm, 73mm and 135mm optical zoom options. The final file format is JPEG/HEIF and you can also choose to shoot in black and white (no further filters are available, however, and you can’t shoot in raw).
Anyway, as you will see from the gallery below, I found the XPAN mode to be really handy on the trip. It’s notnew, first appearing on the Oppo Find X5 series, but remains a big selling point – along with actual new features, which include AI Telescope Zoom and Lightning Snap (something Amy will explore more in her full review).
XPAN is certainly quicker and less fiddly than using the Panorama mode on Android phones, especially if, like me, you find yourself on a windswept boat in sub-zero temperatures. It should generate smallish but attractive prints, too.
Note: I straightened some of these these images and slightly boosted the contrast owing to the challenging shooting conditions, but otherwise there has been no further editing.
Hasselblad Master Mode
I also get decent results with the Hasselbad Master Mode on the Oppo Find X8 Pro, which claims to add the ‘Hasselblad look’ to your images. As the name suggests, Master mode allows you to shoot in JPEG or raw, with manual control over exposure.
You can get some great results, but I did find myself wishing for a much wider choice of filters.
The Master Mode was perfect for making the most of a short and very chilly sunrise on the fjords. f/1.6 @ 1/125 sec, ISO 50
I also noticed the colour temperature on the Master Mode veered towards the cooler side (though I guess that was apt for Norway). Generally, though, I was pleased I had the Oppo Find X8 Pro on this year-end trip, and the phone seems another great Android choice for keen photographers.
With 80W fast charging, Realme’s rumored battery powerhouse could get fully charged in 70 minutes.
What you need to know
Realme’s next flagship could pack an extra-large battery ranging from 7,000mAh to 8,000mAh.
The current Realme GT 7 Pro features a 6,500mAh battery that’s already much larger than most flagships, but Realme is shooting for an even bigger one next year.
According to leaker Digital Chat Station, there are three potential battery configurations being tested for Realme’s next phone.
Realme may not be a household name, but the brand is known for making Android smartphones with built-in high-capacity batteries. The latest Realme GT 7 Pro has a 6,500mah battery built in, and even the Realme 12 Pro Plus 5g has a respectable 5,000mah battery. The two phones also charge fast, at 120W and 67W respectively. As it turns out, Realme may want to improve its incredibly high-capacity, fast-charging technology on its next flagship product.
The company is reportedly testing three new variations of batteries, all with a larger capacity than the GT 7 Pro, according to leakerDigital Chat Station on Weibo(viaAndroid Authority). Per the tip, these are the characteristics of the three batteries being tested for Realme’s upcoming flagship phone:
A 7,000mAh battery supporting 120W fast charging that can be charged to full in 42 minutes
A 7,500mAh battery supporting 100W fast charging that can be charged to full in 55 minutes
An 8,000mAh battery supporting 80W fast charging that can be charged to full in 70 minutes
Realme has a few decisions to make for the battery that will power an upcoming flagship, which Digital Chat Station didn’t name specifically. It could be the Realme GT 8 Pro, and the phone could debut in 2025. However, as the leaked configurations show, the company will almost certainly be choosing between capacity and charge speed.
Evidently, the 8,000mAh battery rumored to be in consideration for a to-be-released Realme flagship has slow charging, relatively speaking. It can only charge at 80W speeds, resulting in a 70-minute charge time from 0% to 100%. That might not be such a bad thing, though. There could be less of a need to charge to full with a phone sporting an 8,000mAh capacity, with an overnight charge doing the trick for a day-plus of use.
When you compare the worst charging speeds of Realme’s purported battery options (80W, 70 min), they stack up quite nicely to the leading iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phones, which still have atrocious charging speeds. It’s clear that Realme would be padding its own lead in battery and charging tech if it released a smartphone with either 7,000mAh, 7,500 mAh, or 8,000mAh battery capacities.
Oppo is set to unveil its next flagship, the Find X8 series, on October 24. While we’ve already gotten a glimpse of the device in some live photos, new leaked renders now reveal the different color options that will be available.
Oppo Find X8 specifications (rumored) As per the leak, the Oppo Find X8 features a 6.59-inch Tiama OLED flat display with a 120Hz refresh rate, reaching a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits and is equipped with 2160Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort. It is powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset, complemented by LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage options. The device houses a substantial 5,630mAh battery that supports 80W wired and 50W wireless (magnetic) charging.
The front camera is a 32-megapixel Sony MX615. The rear panel has a Hasselblad triple camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel LYT-700 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide sensor, and a 50-megapixel LYT-600 sensor featuring a 3x periscope telephoto lens with OIS.
The phone measures 7.85mm in thickness and weighs 193 grams, with both front and rear panels made of Corning Gorilla Glass and an IP68/69 rating. It is available in multiple variants, including 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB, with color options of Starry Black, Breeze Blue, Light White, and Bubble Pink.
According to a new report, well-known and trusted leaker Evan Blass has shared official renders of the Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, giving us a closer look at the design and color options. According to the images, the Oppo Find X8 will come in four shades:
Black
White
Blue
Pink
Meanwhile, the leaked images of the Find X8 Pro confirm it will come in classic color options like:
Black
White
Blue
Reports suggest that the Find X8 is slightly more compact, featuring a 6.6-inch display, while the Pro version boasts a larger 6.78-inch screen. Though the displays may look flat, they actually sport a subtle micro-quad-curved design. Both models also showcase ultra-thin bezels that are evenly sized, giving them a sleek and modern look.
The leaked renders give us a clearer view of the alert slider, along with the power and volume buttons. The Pro version has an extra Quick Capture button, reportedly featuring a capacitive design with a linear motor. This new button is expected to work much like the Camera Control button introduced with the iPhone 16 series, offering a quick and seamless way to snap photos.
Shifting the focus to the back, both the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro sport a huge circular camera module with the iconic Hasselblad logo centered within it. The LED flash sits just outside the module, positioned in the upper-left corner on both models.
Wondering what’s under the hood? Well, the Oppo Find X8 series is expected to pack MediaTek’s freshly released Dimensity 9400 chip, coupled with up to 16GB of RAM. As for battery life, Oppo is going all out with a hefty 5,700 mAh battery. It might support 80W wired charging and 50W magnetic wireless fast charging, ensuring you’re powered up in no time.
Oppo is set to launch the Find X8 series exclusively in China at first, with a global release likely following later. Given all the rumored specs and the detailed renders we’ve seen from every angle, I think this new flagship is shaping up to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor, and it’s definitely poised to be a fierce contender in this month’s lineup of Chinese flagship smartphones.
Oppo Find X8 will have an iPhone 16 Camera Control-like shutter button
Oppo has revealed that its soon-to-be-unveiled Find X8 flaship phone will arrive with a multifunctional camera shutter button that will sound awfully familiar to iPhone fans.
In a post on Weibo, the Chinese manufacturer detailed the button, which mimics the physical positioning and the functionality of the iPhone 16’s Camera Control almost exactly.
Oppo has a button that you press to launch the camera app, press again to take a picture, and swipe to zoom in and out on your subject.
Oppo says it can also work underwater, eliminating the need to use the touchscreen to turn on the camera when taking underwater photos and videos.
Apple hasn’t talked about the possibility of using the camera control button underwater, and I haven’t tested it on my iPhone 16 Pro Max!
The Oppo Find X8 series is likely to be released before the end of the year, and if the precedent set by the Find X7 series last year is repeated, it could be available early next year.
OPPO’s 100W charging tech is incredible, and it is available on all OnePlus phones as well.
All Android phones have fast charging built in, but not all standards are created equal. While several brands rely on USB’s standard Power Delivery, Chinese manufacturers use their own tech instead, delivering significantly higher charging speeds on their phones.
OPPO’s SuperVOOC is the industry leader in this area, with the brand able to push battery charging to as much as 240W. That’s an outlier, but on most OnePlus and OPPO phones available today, you’ll see 65W and 100W charging as standard, allowing these devices to fully charge their batteries in under 30 minutes.
To put that into context, Samsung uses 45W charging on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but the device takes over 60 minutes to charge the battery — more than twice as long as the OnePlus 12. The best part is that you don’t get any downsides to 100W fast charging; I used OnePlus and OPPO devices based on the 100W tech for three years now, and long-term battery degradation is in line with other phones.
So here’s everything you need to know about the SuperVOOC charging standard — how it evolved over the years, how it works in the latest devices, and how it’s different to other fast charging solutions.
OPPO introduced its VOOC charging tech back in 2014, and if you’re curious, it is an abbreviation of Voltage Open Loop Multi-step Constant-Current Charging. VOLMCCC doesn’t quite have the same allure, so OPPO shortened it to VOOC. In the early days, the standard went up to 20W (5V/4A), allowing devices at the time — like the OnePlus 6T — to charge up to 60% in just 35 minutes, a sizeable achievement.
Then came SuperVOOC in 2006, going up to 50W by pushing 10V at 5A, but not many devices used this standard. The biggest upgrade came in 2019 with the debut of VOOC 3.0, which made 30W charging standard across most OnePlus and OPPO devices. The tech switched to 5V/6A to deliver faster charging, with devices like the OnePlus 7T going up to a 70% charge in just 30 minutes.
The next evolution occurred in 2020 with SuperVOOC 2.0, which introduced the 65W standard that’s still in use today. It moved the charging tech to deliver 10V over 6.5A, introducing the ability to fully charge devices in under 40 minutes. When I tested the OnePlus 8T that year, I saw that the battery charged in just 38 minutes, a record at the time.
OnePlus used OPPO’s charging tech from the very beginning, but because it was set up as a standalone entity, it changed the moniker. The 20W standard was called Dash Charge, and with the switch to 30W came Warp Charge. And when 65W charging became available, the manufacturer went with Warp Charge 65.
There was a derivative of this — dubbed the 65T — on the OnePlus 9 Pro, which allowed the device to maintain a sustained voltage for an extended duration, and it unlocked a full charge in under 30 minutes. The biggest advantage to the SuperVOOC standard is that it doesn’t overheat your device; that’s because most of the charging circuitry is built into the wall unit.
This is why you can only get the quoted charging speeds only when you use a SuperVOOC charger; while USB PD also has 65W charging, the voltages are different, so you don’t get the same benefits.
How does SuperVOOC work? A standard smartphone battery is highly reactive, which is why phone companies have several safeguards built into the charging circuitry. Lithium-Ion batteries are able to take in more power initially, tapering out as the charge builds. It is on this principle that fast charging works.
Qualcomm’s Quick Charge technology delivers a higher voltage to the battery to expedite charging time. Quick Charge 5.0 is fully compliant with the USB-C Power Delivery (PD) spec, and while some manufacturers like ASUS use Qualcomm’s solution, most brands have switched over to USB PD instead.
Samsung, for instance, switched to USB Power Delivery’s Programmable Power Supply (PPS) spec starting with the Galaxy Note 10 series, offering 45W charging. This is still the case on its latest devices, but most of its mid-range phones still use a 25W standard.
SuperVOOC’s differentiation comes by way of using a dual-cell battery; the OnePlus 12 has a 5400mAh battery, but it is made up of two 2700mAh cells. This way, the 100W charge is split over both batteries at the same time, allowing the device to charge in under 30 minutes.
The key difference between SuperVOOC and other charging standards is that while USB PD uses higher voltages to charge batteries, OPPO instead focuses on delivering a higher amperage. For instance, USB PD pushes 20V at 3.25A to send 65W to devices, whereas SuperVOOC delivers 10V at 6.5A to attain 65W. But because all the associated circuitry is in the wall unit, you’ll get all the advantages of fast charging without any of the downsides (overheating).
SuperVOOC 100W: Charging your phone in 30 minutes
One of the main benefits of SuperVOOC is its ability to keep temperatures low while charging. The fast charging option allows you to watch videos or play games while the phone is charging, with no net drop in speeds. That isn’t the case with other charging solutions, as the higher voltages invariably lead to the phone reverting to normal speeds to prevent overheating.
With SuperVOOC 100W, you can easily charge a phone battery in under 30 minutes, and it is a proven technology by this point — I used it on dozens of phones. There’s also a SuperVOOC 150W standard, but that was available on just a few devices, and while OPPO showcased SuperVOOC 240W as well, it isn’t practical on its flagships.
Like other charging standards, SuperVOOC takes more than twice as long to go from 50% to a full charge, and that’s to prevent damage to the battery (and more importantly, you), with the wall charger limiting output after hitting 70% and going even lower after reaching 80%. With the OnePlus 12, the phone goes up to 72% in just 15 minutes, but takes an additional 15 minutes to go the rest of the 28%.
The dedicated microcontroller unit inside the phone constantly monitors the charge level to determine the desired amperage to be delivered. This is a good thing, because it ensures that everything doesn’t burn down when you plug your phone in overnight. Of course, the main downside is that you’ll need to use OnePlus and OPPO’s bundled chargers to get the full charging potential.
That said, OPPO has licensed the technology to third-party vendors like Anker, and the charging brand is delivering SuperVOOC 65W on select power banks and chargers, including the Prime 27,650mAh power bank that goes up to 250W. This is a huge deal, as it allows you to get all the advantages of the charging tech on the go.
An additional thing to mention here is that while you get 100W charging in most regions, OnePlus limits the chargers to 80W in North America. This has to do with voltages again, so if you’re using the OnePlus 12 in the region, you’ll only be able to use 80W. In real-world use, that means the device will take roughly eight additional minutes to charge.
A key update introduced in 2022 is the ability to increase battery longevity. Even with SuperVOOC 100W, OPPO is guaranteeing 1600 charge cycles before battery degradation, and that’s a huge achievement. Also, the best part about using the SuperVOOC 100W charger is that it doubles as a USB PD charger as well, going up to 65W. So if you have other devices that leverage PD, you can charge those easily.
What is AIRVOOC 50?
The OnePlus 8 Pro became the first device from the manufacturer (globally) to offer wireless charging, and in usual OnePlus fashion the company outfitted the phone with 30W wireless charging. AIRVOOC 30 — also called dubbed Warp Charge 30 Wireless on OnePlus devices — could deliver up to a 50% charge in just 30 minutes, allowing it to become a standout option in the wireless charging segment.
To deliver sustained 30W wireless charging, OnePlus used two charge pumps and clever charging tech. The charger coil itself sends 20V at 1.5A (netting 30W) to the first charge pump, which then halves the voltage to 10W while boosting the amperage to 3A (once again creating 30W). The second charge pump halves the voltage yet again to 5V, with the amperage doubled to 6A. That 5V at 6A charge leads to 30W, and it’s this charge that’s sent to the charging coil on the back of the phone.
OPPO is using this technique because there’s no way to safely deliver a 6A charge directly from the induction coil on the wireless charger to the one on the phone. That would create a lot of heat and inevitably burn things down, so it’s instead relying on two charge pumps. The technology is very interesting, and it continues to be one of the best wireless charging solutions around.
With the OnePlus 9 series, OnePlus introduced 50W wireless charging, and this is still the same tech that’s used in the Find X7 Ultra and the best OnePlus phones. It is called AIRVOOC 50, and the tech is able to charge a device in under 45 minutes, but you’ll need to use the dedicated wireless charger, and that’s no longer available in most markets.
OPPO continues to lead the way with its charging tech, and SuperVOOC 100W allows you to easily charge your phone in under 30 minutes — and do so safely. With the Find X8 and OnePlus 13 set to launch soon, it is interesting to see how the charging tech will evolve in the coming years.
The Oppo Find 7, like the OnePlus One , is a Chinese-made phone with plenty of promise.
The Good
The Oppo Find 7 has a powerful chip and a super high-res screen. Fun features like its Ultra-HD picture mode are cool bonuses.
The Bad
The phone’s design is boring compared to its competitors, and it lacks a standout feature such as the Oppo N1’s swivel camera. Its battery life takes a hit due to the high-power display too.
The Bottom Line
Oppo may have packed the Find 7 with the latest and greatest specs, but it faces stiff competition from the LG G3, which has similar specs but a better design.
Performance
Due to its 2.5 GHz Qualcomm 801 quad-core Snapdragon processor and 3GB RAM and 330 GPU the smartphone is pretty powerful than the other android flagship smartphones. The phone did not show any kind of stutter or lag while switching between the apps, using camera and apps, watching videos, playing high-graphic games and multi-tasking.
Oppo Find 7 comes with another new technology, VOOC fast charging that offers it four times faster charging than the conventional chargers. Smartphone can support a 2 hour call with just 5 minutes of charging and full charge in about 45 minutes.
The display of this smartphone is the key feature for its entire buzz in the market. The smartphone sports a 5.5 inch 2K/Quad HD display with the screen resolution of 1440*2560 and the pixel density of 538ppi. This screen resolution is a lot higher than what the other flagship smartphone features, i.e. 1080*1920p and the pixel density is also higher than all the other smartphones at present in market. The display is very sharp and crisp and offer excellent viewing angles. The screen is less reflective and the outdoor legibility is pretty good on this smartphone.
Oppo Find 7 features a different OS based on the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, Color OS, which is typically a heavily customized version of Android that offer ample support for themes, lock screen widgets and app launcher. The company has replaced few stock apps with its own and due to its few nice little touches some apps like Music app really feel very good. Smartphone also supports the gesture controls including three finger swap for taking screenshots, double tap for unlock, pinch-to-launch camera app and more.
The smartphone comes with the latest Snapdragon 801 and its quad-core processor is clocked at 2.05 GHz which is pretty impressive for a smartphone. There is 3GB RAM for running the apps without any lags and the phone’s internal memory is 32 GB which is further expandable up to 128 GB using micro-SD cards.
As for the connectivity, Find 7 supports LTE network . The smartphone also holds a 3,000 MAh battery under its hood.
Camera
Oppo Find 7 has packed in a 13MP rear and a 5 MP front camera. The rear camera features the Sony IX214 CMOS Sensor and has ability to record 4K videos. Other highlighting features of the rear camera are its support for RAW files and the super zoom mode of the camera that merges 10 photos to create single 50MP image. Slow-motion video recording with 720p at 120fps is also available with the rear camera.
The quality of images captured at broad day-light is excellent with accurate color reproduction, good contrast, and very little noise. Low-light shots also came out well and the dual-LED flash does an excellent job of filling up the light. The front camera also captures good quality selfies and the beauty mode present enhances the selfies taken.
Call quality I found no issues with call quality — the other party came across clear and crisp, while also being able to hear me fine. Audio volume was sufficiently loud; I wouldn’t be too worried about being able to hear the other person in a crowded place. The speakers, found at the rear of the phone, are pretty loud, and at the lowest setting, you’ll be able to hear the phone ringing even if it is in your pocket.
Final Verdict! 97%
Oppo Find 7 in summary is one of the best android smartphones . The sleek design feels good, although challenging to operate with one hand. The camera takes awesome photos and the battery life is decent for a full day’s job. With all its features we can say that this new smartphone has the capability to outshine all other flagship smartphones at present in the market. But the brand name Oppo still needs quite a lot of work to establish itself and so this smartphone just might be their first step forward.
It feels like smartphone innovation has taken a real step forward with the introduction of the Vivo Nex and Oppo Find X.Both phones, from Chinese firms with the same parent company, push the boundaries of current smartphone design.
They build on the likes of the iPhone X, Essential Phone, Huawei P20 Pro and all the other notch-toting handsets by removing the notch all together while maintaining spectacularly slender bezels.
But that’s not all, as both the Oppo Find X and Vivo Nex also boast novelty pop-up cameras, helping to add to their futuristic look and feel.
Reads our hands on reviews: Vivo Nex | Oppo Find X
Both screens here take up almost the whole of the front of the device, providing a visually alluring spectacle.
The Vivo Nex screen is 6.59 inches with a full HD resolution AMOLED panel, which equates to a pixel density of 388ppi.
Vivo says it’s managed to achieve a 91.24% screen-to-body ratio on the Nex, removing the bezels completely round three sides of the screen, with just a thin strip remaining at the base of the handset.
If you think that’s impressive though, the Oppo Find X one-ups it. The Find X has a slightly smaller (but still huge) 6.42-inch, curved OLED display, also with a Full HD resolution, giving you a slightly sharper 401ppi pixel density.
The highlight here though is the Find X’s 93.8% screen-to-body ratio, reducing the size of the remaining bezel at the bottom of the display even more.
Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: design Metal and glass are the materials of choice on the Vivo Nex and Oppo Find X. Both handsets have glass front and rears, which sandwich a metal frame.
The glass is almost uninterrupted on the rear of the Find X, with no cameras to break up the finish, although there is a break in the glass for the rising camera module.
The power switch is on the right of the phone, the volume keys are on the left, while on the bottom edge you’ll find a USB-C port, single speaker and the SIM tray. There is no headphone jack however.
The Oppo Find X measures 156.7 x 74.2 x 9.4mm, and weighs in at 186g, but it does have a curved display on the front and curved edges on the rear, making it a little easier to handle.
Unsurprisingly the Vivo Nex is taller and wider thanks to its larger screen, but it’s actually slimmer than the Find X, measuring 162 x 77 x 8mm. It’s heavier too, at 199g.
The Nex does boast a headphone jack – on the top edge – while on the bottom you’ll find a USB-C port and single speaker. The power and volume keys both reside on the right of the Nex, with an additional key on the left which fires Vivo’s own smart voice assistant.
Neither phone has an IP rating, so you’ll want to avoid dropping them into your bath/sink/drink.
Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: cameras This is where things get interesting. The two phones take a novel approach to camera integration, and they have to as they’ve stretched the screen almost as far as it can go, leaving no space for selfie snappers.
We’ll start on the rear of the Vivo Nex though, as the dual camera setup isn’t hidden away in the body of the phone. Instead you get a vertical stack of lenses with a 12MP (f/1.8) primary camera above a 5MP (f/2.4) secondary sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization) support.
Open up the camera app, and switch to the front facing camera though, and an 8MP (f/2.0) will gracefully rise from the top of the handset.
Vivo Nex cameras
On the Oppo Find X, none of its three cameras are visible before you open the camera app. Once you do though, a section the entire width of the handset rises out of the top of the phone, and it moves up more quickly than Vivo’s selfie camera.
The rear duo are a 16MP (f/2.0) primary and 20MP (f/2.0) secondary, with OIS support. Meanwhile, on the front there’s a 25MP (f/2.0) selfie camera on the other side of the mechanized block.
Oppo Find X cameras
Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: biometrics Something that you won’t see on either of these smartphones is a fingerprint scanner, but neither handset is bereft of biometric trickery.
There actually is a fingerprint scanner in the Vivo Nex, it’s just hidden within the display. It’s a little slower than fingerprint scanners which aren’t in the display, but it still works well.
You don’t get a face unlock option though, as the selfie camera is tucked away in the body of the phone.
There’s no fingerprint scanner on the Oppo Find X though, but you do get the firm’s O-Face technology.
O-Face uses the front facing camera and an infra red sensor to 3D map your face, and when it comes to unlocking the handset you have to hit the power/lock key to wake the phone, the camera quickly pops up to look at you and then unlocks the phone.
It works better and quicker than you make think.
Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: power and storage The Oppo Find X packs in a Snapdragon 845 chipset, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and it runs Android 8.1 Oreo with the firm’s own Color OS 5.1 interface over the top of it.
It comes with Google’s full suite of applications, and it also supports the Android P Beta program, allowing you to test out the next version of the operating system before its official release later this year.
Inside the Vivo Nex you’ll also find the top of the range Snapdragon 845, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s also running on Android 8.1, but with Vivo’s FunTouch 3.1 interface over the top, which doesn’t have the Google suite of apps.
Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: battery The Vivo Nex packs in a huge 4,000mAh battery which is one of the biggest in any of the top smartphones.
Meanwhile, the Oppo Find X battery is slightly smaller at 3,730mAh, but you do get Oppo’s VOOC flash charging tech for quick top-ups. Neither phone supports wireless charging, however.
Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: price and availability At the moment, the Vivo Nex is only available in China and it’s not clear whether it’ll come to more countries.
There’s better news regarding the Oppo Find X, as availability has been confirmed for China, India, Australia, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and North America.
