MagyarOppo Find X2 Neo smartphone review - Model confusion at Oppo
Oppo launched the Reno3 models in China towards the end of last year. However, the international variants of the Reno3 series, which appeared in March 2020, had completely different specifications. Nevertheless, users in Europe also benefit from the "Chinese" Oppo Reno3 Pro, because the Chinese manufacturer is introducing the identical sister model in Germany with the Find X2 Neo - the same design and the same specifications as the Chinese version of the Oppo Reno3 Pro.
The Oppo Find X2 Neo, which uses the Snapdragon 765G and a 6.5-inch OLED panel, is available in Germany with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB of internal memory for an RRP of 699 Euros (~$784).

Case - Oppo smartphone with punch-hole design
Just like the Oppo flagship Find X2 Pro, the front of the X2 Neo is made of Corning Gorilla Glass Gen 6, and thanks to the thin display frame almost 90% of the front consists of the OLED panel.
The workmanship of the case is on a very good level. The controls sit firmly in the frame and have well-defined pressure points. However, the thin metal frame is quite sharp, which has a noticeably negative impact on the feel of the Find X2 Neo. The Oppo smartphone also has no protection against dust and water.
Features - Oppo Find X2 Neo without an SD card slot
Video content on streaming services can be viewed in HD quality on the mid-range smartphone, as Widevine is designated as Level 1. The internal UFS memory in our test device has a capacity of 256 GB, but only according to the 2.1 standard. There is no possibility to expand the memory; however, external storage devices can be connected via the USB 2.0 connection using the USB OTG feature.
Software - Find X2 Neo with Android 10
Google's Android version 10 is preinstalled on the Find X2 Neo, which is supplemented by Oppo's own ColorOS 7 user interface. The security updates are current as of May 2020 at the time of our test.
Communication and GPS - Oppo smartphone with only Wi-Fi 5
Thanks to the IEEE 802.11 standard, the integrated WLAN module transmits according to a/b/g/n/ac in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges. The transmission speed between the Oppo smartphone and our reference router Netgear Nighthawk AX12 is at a good level. However, the transmission rates of the Wi-Fi 6 sister models OnePlus 8 and realme X50 Pro cannot be matched.
The single-SIM smartphone supports the new 5G standard for mobile data connections, but the high number of LTE frequency bands that the Find X2 Neo supports are also positive. For local use (in Germany) there are no corners cut.
The Find X2 Neo can communicate with peripheral devices via NFC chip or Bluetooth 5.1 and is therefore well-equipped for wireless communication.

In order to be able to estimate the location accuracy of our test device in practice, we simultaneously recorded a route with the Garmin Edge 500 GPS bike computer. The determined deviations of the GPS module in the Find X2 Neo are small. About 130 meters lies between the Oppo smartphone and the Garmin navigation system at the end of our 12-kilometer test route. Navigation with the Oppo mobile phone is possible without any problems.
Telephony and Call Quality - Oppo Find X2 Neo with Wi-Fi calling
When it comes to telephony, the Oppo cell phone can use Wi-Fi Calling. We do not find a VoLTE option in the settings, but it is generally available on request from Oppo Germany. The voice quality is good and unremarkable. Voices are reproduced clearly and are also characterized as clear by our conversation partner. Video calls via Skype also work without any problems.
Cameras - Oppo smartphone with quad-cam system
The 48-megapixel IMX586 sensor of the main camera impresses with good detail and high dynamics in daylight. However, the Find X2 Neo has problems with exposure in difficult lighting situations and the image sharpness could also be a bit higher overall. In the dark, the known weaknesses of the Sony sensor are also evident in the Oppo phone. Low-light shots are poorly lit, grainy, and they are not very sharp.
Videos can be recorded with the IMX586 in UHD resolution, but only at 30 fps.
As with the real X50 Pro, we don't like the shots with the 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera of the Oppo smartphone. Noise can be seen even in daylight, and complex subjects are sometimes artificial and over-sharpened.
Shots from the front camera are detailed and the sharpness is okay. However, the 32 MP camera already has massive exposure problems when the sky is cloudy.

Accessories and warranty - Find X2 Neo with protective cover and headset
The Find X2 Neo comes with a modular 30-watt power supply, a USB cable, headphones and a silicone protective cover.
The guarantee is 24 months from the date of purchase.
Input devices & handling - Oppo smartphone with 180 Hz sampling rate
Input on the 6.5-inch OLED panel works out quickly and accurately. The built-in vibration motor is satisfactory but not at the high level of a Xiaomi Mi 10 and the haptic feedback is not very punchy.
The Find X2 Neo has an optical fingerprint sensor below the display glass as well as biometric authentication via 2D face recognition using the front camera. Both versions unlock the Oppo phone reliably and also quite quickly. Similar to the realme X50 Pro, the fingerprint sensor is deactivated (also during the measurement) as soon as a user is recognized by the front camera, which can be perceived as annoying in everyday use.
Display - Bright OLED panel in the Find X2 Neo
The 6.5 inch OLED panel of the Oppo mobile phone has a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz and achieves a pixel density of a good 400 ppi with a resolution of 2340x1080 pixels. This ensures sufficiently sharp display content when viewed from normal distances.
The Find X2 Neo uses OLED-typical PWM to regulate the luminance with a frequency of 184 to 370 Hz - a DC dimming mode is available. The maximum luminance we measured of over 800 cd/m² is very good and the realistic APL50 test (Average Picture Level) with evenly distributed light and dark areas shows an excellent maximum brightness of 995 cd/m² for this price range. With the ambient light sensor deactivated, the Find X2 Pro only achieves 534 cd/m².

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 370.4 Hz | ≤ 99 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 370.4 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 370.4 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
The display color analysis is carried out with the help of a photo spectrometer and the CalMAN software. The deviations in the color (5.4) and grayscale display (6.4) are somewhat high in the factory settings and the color temperature of the panel is also not optimally calibrated.

Performance - Oppo phone with Snapdragon 765G
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G in the Find X2 Neo integrates a fast Prime Core with a peak clock of 2.4 GHz. Both the Prime and the Gold Core (2.2 GHz) are Cortex-A76 cores, while the remaining six Cortex-A55 cores are clocked at 1.8 GHz. The Adreno 620 integrated in the Snapdragon 765G forms the graphics subsystem. The G version of the Snapdragon 765 also contains selected Snapdragon gaming functions, such as the Game Smoother or Game Fast Loader.
The system speed is appealing in everyday life and the Snapdragon 765G, in combination with 12 GB of RAM, ensures smooth operation in everyday life. As soon as more is demanded from the processor, the performance drops a bit and stutters in the apps become apparent.
The Oppo smartphone performed well in the benchmarks. However, between the measured values of a Snapdragon 865, e.g. in the Xiaomi Mi 10, and the Find X2 Neo, there is a (very) clear performance gap. The graphics tests in particular are low on the Oppo phone (for the price range).

Games - Oppo Find X2 Neo with Adreno 620
The Adreno 620 GPU integrated in the Qualcomm SoC enables a long-lasting smooth gaming experience, even with complex 3D games from the Android Play Store. The rendering of current game titles such as Asphalt 9 and PUBG Mobile is relatively consistent, even in high graphics. In the racing game from Gameloft, however, slight drops in the frame rate are noticeable from time to time.
The sensors and the touchscreen of the Find X2 Neo give no cause for criticism.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - Mid-range at a premium price
On the plus side for the Find X2 Neo is undoubtedly the excellent and very bright 90 Hz AMOLED panel, which makes it easy to use outdoors even in direct sunlight. The design and workmanship are very appealing - except the sharp-edged frame - and the good Snapdragon 765G also ensures a decent performance for the Oppo phone.
With the price point of the Find X2 Neo, a recommendation for the Oppo smartphone is difficult.
However, the Chinese manufacturer is calling up an RRP of almost 700 Euros (~$784) for its mid-range smartphone. In this price segment, buyers can definitely expect premium features, such as an IP rating, Wi-Fi 6 or wireless charging, as well as more powerful hardware, such as a Snapdragon 865, LPDDR5-RAM or UFS 3.0 memory - all of these are missing in the Find X2 Neo. Furthermore, there is also a qualitative deficit in terms of the camera, because especially the pictures with the ultra-wide-angle lens do not do justice for a 700-Euro (~$784) smartphone in 2020.
If you are not afraid of importing from China, you can take a closer look at our review of the Oppo Reno3 Pro.
