First Impressions on the OPPO Find X2

No, not the OPPO Find X2 Pro. This is the regular OPPO Find X2. This is the new OPPO flagship device.

The OPPO Find X2 series is a flagship two years in waiting. It was a successor to OPPO’s most powerful and most expensive device at its launch. Which also means that it needs to be as powerful and just as expensive.

It packs s Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC which, incidentally makes it the most powerful smartphone OPPO ever made. It is also sold at MYR 3,999 onward and goes all the way to MYR 4,599 (OPPO Find X2 Pro). It is the most expensive, or most premium OPPO smartphone ever launched. Those two boxes are ticked then.

However, it does not deliver the same ‘wow’ factor as the original OPPO Find X. Instead of having a crazy motorised pop-up mechanism that everyone grew to love in the Find X, the OPPO Find X2 is now just a plain candy bar smartphone that resembles a HUAWEI P30, I dare say. Still, it does not mean that it is not a handsome device, it is still pretty with the Ocean finish.

There is one thing that blew our minds though. It is the O1 Ultra Vision display that caught our attention. It is a QHD+ display, plenty for a 6.70inch display. It is also refreshing at a rate of 120Hz with 240Hz sampling rate. What does that mean? It means ultra-smooth and snappy experience of a smartphone. Get this as well, it refreshes at 120Hz while pushing QHD+ in resolution. It is not scaled down in anyway.

In fact, the O1 Vision engine scales regular 30fps videos up to 120fps just to take advantage of the display. That makes everything looks better on screen. We did not notice any image distortions or flickers as well while watching things like YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Video Prime. While the differences are subtle, the experience difference is quite drastic; especially if you can put another flagship side by side and compare.

We had a little bit of concerns with the battery because of the high refresh rate and resolution. The combination of that still allows the 4,200 mAh battery to last a complete workday with more to give though. If not, we can break out the SuperVOOC charger and charge it within 38 minutes. We have not tried that, we should.

The OPPO Find X2 is now available in across Malaysia for MYR 3,999. It is available in two colour options – Aurora and Black. Both colour options feature different build materials, we suggest getting the black just because of its ceramic finish. Of course, more information on their website.
