The Oppo Find X3 Pro looks set to be a dangerous competitor for the Samsung Galaxy S21 and OnePlus 9 when it launches in a few months. But the camera knob isn’t very flexible at all.
Images and specs posted on Evan Blass ‘s voice page have given us some key information about Oppo’ s new flagship.
It’s hard not to notice the phone’s rear camera knob; its square shape is similar to an iPhone 12. But Oppo has made the lump appear gradually from the back of the phone, instead of just giving it 90-degree smooth edges.
It’s a unique look, and the black, white and blue color options, as well as the bronze-backed version, fit well with the smooth design. However, I wouldn’t blame you if you prefer the more conventional style of the Galaxy S20 or iPhone 12.
The cameras also look interesting, especially as the macro “microscope” camera is reportedly capable of up to 25x zoom. There are also two 50MP cameras on the back. Blass doesn’t say what function these sensors serve, but based on the previous Find X2 Pro, these seem to be the main sensors and ultrawide.
While the S21 Ultra has a 108MP main sensor by leak, none of its other sensors are larger than 12MP, and their dual zoom cameras are only capable of 3x and 10x optical zoom.
On the front, we see a curved display with a punch-hole selfie camera. The Find X3 Pro apparently uses a 6.7-inch, QHD panel with a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The refresh rate and resolution are similar to the 6.8-inch Galaxy S21 Ultra, but they are better than the FHD displays on the 6.2-inch Galaxy S21 and 6.2-inch Galaxy S21 Plus.
For a fee, the Find X3 Pro gets fast options for both wireless and wireless. With plug-in, you get the same 65W charging distances as the OnePlus 8T, plus 40W wireless charging. We expect the OnePlus 9 to also use 65W wireless charging, but only 30W wireless charging, like the OnePlus 8 Pro. As for the S21, the whole range is thought to go out at 25W, which is made more difficult by the fact that Samsung doesn’t offer a charger in the box this time around.
The release date according to Blass is “end of March / beginning of April.” We know that the Galaxy S21 will be launched already before then with its release event tomorrow (January 14), and we expect the OnePlus 9 to have also appeared before mid-term. March.
So while the Oppo phone may be arriving a little later than its biggest competitors for a place on the list of best Android phones, the specs released so far may be meaning the Find X3 Pro was worth the wait.
