Malaysia is on lock down order. Well, more like a partial lock down. All the paperwork calls it is a ‘restricted movement’ order. All non-essential services and businesses are order to close, or all its staff are supposed to work from home. This is fine for businesses like ours, with all our contents and services being digital and online. We can easily work from home. But businesses like car service centers, manufacturing of goods, shops, and even restaurants are going to be affected.
Well, in a broader sense, restaurants and food outlets can operate under the circumstance that it only does takeaway orders. Supermarkets, hospitals and clinics, broadcasting, police stations, and fire services are still open. Some of them on a limited capacity too (not hospitals, they are front lining the COVID-19 situation. To that, thank you to all doctors and nurses who are working tirelessly).
Still, live goes on and there are still things happening outside of home. The sale of the highly anticipated OPPO Find X2 Pro 5G is still happening. Not in a way you would imagine though.
Instead of the whole mess of a launch gambit and roadshows all over Malaysia and its countless malls, OPPO is starting their first sale gambit with nothing but a simple service of delivering the devices right to your doorstep. Obviously, you would have to buy one of it to get the device sent to you.
The OPPO Find X2 Pro 5G, to recap, is one of OPPO’s flagships that is launched this year to replace the now two years old OPPO Find X. The OPPO Find X2 Pro 5G, as its name indicates, packs 5G readiness from its Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 System on a Chip (SoC). It is also OPPO’s most powerful device to date with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of on-board storage. Its camera is supposed to be the best camera ever on a smartphone, topping the charts of DX0Mark with its 48-Megapixel main camera flanked by a 48-Megapixel ultra-wide angle lens and a 13-Megapixel lens.
Unlike the OPPO Find X, the X2 and X2 Pro does not have a motorised pop-up mechanism. That also means you are not getting a full edge-to-edge display like the FullView display of the OPPO Find X. Instead, you get something they call an O1 Ultra Vision display with a 32-Megapixel camera punch hole on the 6.7-inch AMOLED display. It pushes out QHD+ at up to 120Hz. That may take a toll on its 4,260 mAh battery. With 65W SuperVOOC charging though, there is nothing to fear, especially in this lockdown anyway.
The OPPO Find X2 Pro 5G is available for pre-order now for MYR 4,599 until 20rd March 2020. Devices should start shipping to customers the day after. The device will be available in two finishes – Ceramic Black and Vegan Leather Orange.
All pre-order customers are entitled for a free VOOC powerbank, 1-year extended warranty, and 3 months of screen protection. Of course, you must make full payment before the 18th of April to secure their free gifts. If you made your full payment before the 23rd of March, you are also entitled to a free OPPO Enco Free True Wireless Earbuds worth MYR 599 (review coming soon). On top of all the free gifts, OPPO will be offering an MYR 200 voucher to be used in OPPO’s official web store. Of course, you have to spend more than MYR 200 to use the voucher. Additionally, if you have made your pre-order and committed the booking fee of MYR 300 at any OPPO’s offline store, you are entitled to an MYR 300 digital code to make your full payment; in other words you are getting MYR 300 off your OPPO Find X2 Pro 5G. Of course, terms and conditions apply. More information on OPPO’s website.
