MagyarOppo Find X2 Pro Smartphone Review - The burden of an astronomical price
Based on the current Snapdragon 865 in combination with 12 GB of RAM, the Find X2 Pro offers very powerful hardware. The newest representative of the Find X series uses a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that is rounded on both sides and offers a resolution of 3168x1440 pixels. A 32-megapixel selfie cam is hidden behind a punch-hole in front, while the camera arrangement in the back offers three different lenses. In addition, the Oppo smartphone offers 512 GB of UFS 3.0 storage.
Starting in May, you can purchase the high-end smartphone from Oppo at a recommended retail price of 1199 Euros (~$1287) in Europe.

Case - An Oppo smartphone covered in vegan leather
The front of the Find X2 Pro consists of Corning Gorilla Glass of the sixth generation, and due to the slim display bezels, 91% of the front consists of the OLED panel. The workmanship of the case shows a very high quality level, and the operation keys offer well-defined pressure points. The Oppo smartphone also offers protection against dust and water according to the IP68 standard. However, the particular haptic of our test unit that is covered in artificial leather is probably not the right choice for everyone.
Equipment - The Find X2 Pro offers 512 GB of UFS 3.0 storage
Thanks to Widevine DRM Level L1, video content can be enjoyed in HD quality. However, the equipment of the Find X2 Pro does not include a notification LED, a desktop mode, a classic 3.5-mm audio port, or the option to expand the storage. You can connect external storage media to the USB-3.1 connector via USB OTG.
Software - An Oppo smartphone with Android 10
Google's Android version 10 is preinstalled on the Find X2 Pro. In addition, there is the manufacturer's own ColorOS 7.1 user interface. At the time of our testing, the security updates were at the level of February 2020.
Communication and GPS - The Oppo Find X2 with 5G
In terms of communication, you hardly have to make any compromises with the dual-SIM smartphone. The Oppo smartphone connects to the mobile Internet via 5G as well as the LTE standard. As you can expect for a smartphone of this price range, the amount of frequency bands supported by the X2 Pro is high, and the high-end phone supports 25 LTE bands. For wireless communication, there is Bluetooth version 5.1, and there is also a chip for near-field communication.
Thanks to the ax standard and MIMO technology, the WLAN module is also convincing with high transfer rates in our WLAN test. However, the values we measured with our Netgear Nighthawk AX12 reference router are inconsistent.
In order to evaluate the locating accuracy of our test unit in practice, we record a route in parallel with the Garmin Edge 500 bicycle computer for comparison. At the end of our about 9-km test route (~5.6 miles), the difference of the recorded route between the Find X2 Pro GPS module and the navigation device is about 90 meters (~295 ft.). While the deviations of the route are small, they are still noticeable in the details of the GPS recording.
Telephone Functions and Voice Quality - The Oppo Find X2 Pro offers Wi-Fi calling
The voice quality of the Find X2 Pro is inconspicuous. Voices are transmitted clearly and are also characterized by our conversation partner as clear. Video calls via Skype using the built-in front camera also work without any problems. The voice quality of the built-in microphone is also convincing. Wi-Fi calling is also available.
Cameras - The Find X2 Pro with Sony IMX 689
Contrary to the manufacturer specifications, the optically stabilized 48-MP main camera is based on the new Sony IMX689 and only the ultra-wide-angle camera uses the IMX586. The significantly larger 1/1.4-inch Sony IMX689 with 1.12 micrometer pixels also offers 12-MP recordings due to 4-in-1 pixel binning, which score with a richness in detail and beautiful contrast during daylight. However, the Oppo smartphone has some trouble with the exposure, and the colors also appear fairly pale.
Like the Redmi K30 with the IMX686, the Sony sensor in the Find X2 Pro also shows some visible weaknesses in dark surroundings. Particularly the focusing and image sharpness do not fit with the otherwise good overall impression of the camera sensor.
In addition, there are the 5x periscope zoom and the 10x hybrid zoom of the 13-MP camera which offer real added value in everyday usage. The optical image stabilization allows taking attractive pictures under good light conditions even at high zoom levels.
The camera arrangements of the Find X2 Pro are completed by a 32-MP selfie cam. The camera in front offers solid selfie quality in good light conditions. However, the quality level of the exposure in particular is a rather mixed bag.
Accessories and Warranty - Oppo smartphone with a case
The box of the Oppo smartphone includes a modular 65-Watt charger, a USB cable, and a protective case.
The warranty duration is 24 months after the purchase date.
Input Devices and Operation - The Find X2 Pro offers a high touch sampling rate
Touch input on the 6.67-inch display is implemented fast and accurately up into the corners. The Find X2 Pro has an optical fingerprint sensor below the OLED panel, as well as biometric identification via 2D face recognition in the front camera. Both methods unlock the Oppo smartphone fast and reliably.
As in the OnePlus 7T Pro, the built-in vibration motor is at such a high quality level that only Apple's Taptic Engine is able to keep up. The high precision of the mechanical feedback allows a forceful key press when typing.
Display - Find X2 Pro with OLED panel
The built-in Ultra Vision display is one of the highlights of the Find X2 Pro. The 6.67-inch AMOLED panel in the 19.8:9 format has a resolution of 3168x1440 pixels, resulting in a pixel density higher than 500 ppi, and it offers a high frame rate of 120 Hz.
In terms of its brightness, the Oppo smartphone is also able to convince. In automatic mode with the brightness sensor activated, we measure a maximum of 778 cd/m² with a pure white background. In the more realistic APL50 measurement, which simulates an even distribution of bright and dark areas on the panel, it is a very good 1115 cd/m². However, when the brightness sensor is deactivated, the Find X2 Pro offers noticeably less brightness (492 cd/m²).
As is typical for OLED panels, the Find X2 Pro uses PWM to control brightness, but at 476.2 to 480.8 Hz, the frequency is quite high. This is the same in the 60-Hz as well as the 120-Hz mode, which makes us think that the 120 Hz setting cannot be deactivated using the current software. While the frequency becomes more even with more active DC dimming, the flickering is not completely eliminated.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 480.8 Hz | ≤ 99 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 480.8 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 480.8 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 17903 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
We perform the color analysis of the display using a photo spectrometer and the CalMAN software. Considering the price class, the deviations in the color (4.4) and grayscale display (5.6) are high. At 7250 Kelvin, the color temperature of the panel is also not calibrated optimally.

Outdoors, the Find X2 Pro leaves a very good impression in automatic mode. The high contrast ensures good readability, and the display content should be sufficiently recognizable even in direct sunlight in summer.
The drop in brightness as well as the distortions are very low, even from extremely steep viewing angles.
Performance - A Snapdragon 865 and 12 GB of RAM
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 used in the Find X2 Pro combines a fast "primary core" of up to 2.84 GHz and three additional Cortex-A77 based performance cores with a clock speed of up to 2.42 GHz. To save power, four additional ARM Cortex-A55 cores were also integrated (1.8 GHz). In addition, a powerful Adreno 650 graphics unit is also built into the Qualcomm SoC, which according to the manufacturer offers a 25% performance increase compared to the Adreno 640 in the Snapdragon 855.
As expected, the system performance of the Find X2 Pro is very attractive. In combination with 12 GB of working memory, the Snapdragon 865 ensures smooth operation in everyday usage, although some slight drops in the multi-tasking performance can be noticed at maximum frame rates and display resolution. Thanks to the fast universal flash storage, apps also open very fast. Corresponding to the storage type, the access rates are very high. The speed of the internal storage is at the level of the UFS-3.0 competitors.
The Oppo smartphone also delivers a very good performance in the benchmarks. However, there is no performance gap between the measurements of a Samsung Exynos 990 in the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra or a HiSilicon Kirin 990 in the Huawei Mate 30 Pro on one hand, and the Find X2 Pro on the other hand. Particularly in the Geekbench tests, the Find X2 Pro does not score well.
In the graphical area, the Snapdragon 865 also offers a significantly better performance compared to the Snapdragon 855 Plus in the OnePlus 7T Pro, but particularly the onscreen values in GFXBench turn out unexpectedly low.

Games - The Find X2 Pro masters games, but not at 120 fps
The position sensors integrated in the Find X2 Pro work without any problems in gaming operation, and the touchscreen operates accurately. The graphics performance of the Adreno 650 also offers sufficient performance to play demanding games such as PUBG Mobile smoothly even at the highest detail settings. With high graphics settings, the first-person shooter is displayed at a relatively constant 40 FPS - we determine our frame rates with the app from GameBench. However, the full 120 Hz of the OLED panel is not available in our test games, and Oppo seems to limit the frame rates at 60 FPS here. Also, some apps from the Play Store such as Asphalt 9 Legends are incompatible with the Find X2 Pro.

Temperature
In everyday operation, the case of the Find X2 Pro warms up noticeably only under load. In order to test the heat development of the Oppo smartphone under constant load, we use the battery test of the GFXBench app. The Manhattan-3.1 test shows that the frame rate hardly drops with increasing load, which makes performance drops under load unlikely.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 36.1 °C / 97 F, compared to the average of 35 °C / 95 F, ranging from 21.9 to 56 °C for the class Smartphone.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 35.4 °C / 96 F, compared to the average of 33.8 °C / 93 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 31.7 °C / 89 F, compared to the device average of 32.7 °C / 91 F.
Speaker
The stereo speakers achieve a maximum volume of almost 86 dB(A) in our test. The sound output of the speakers is dominated by mid-range frequencies and shows itself as less linear than the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra in our measurements.

Verdict - A very good Oppo smartphone, but not top of its class
With the Find X2 Pro, the Chinese manufacturer has succeeded in creating a really beautiful smartphone. While the artificial leather version feels slightly cheap, this is probably a matter of taste. However, what might really be more of a step backwards in terms of the design rather than an individual preference is the punch-hole design compared to the "clean look" of the predecessor with its pop-up camera.
The Find X2 Pro is a great smartphone, but the price point is questionable for a manufacturer that is still fairly unknown in some countries.
In terms of the hardware, there are hardly any compromises, even if some people may mind the lack of a status LED, wireless charging, or a 3.5-mm audio port. The software restrictions of ColorOS as well as the limitation to 60 Hz while gaming (and in other apps) are a bit regrettable.
But finally, the price point of the Find X2 Pro is too high, because the cameras in particular are not at the highest level.
