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.

techENT Download – We Are Stuck at Home Folding Smartphones, and There is a New PlayStation Coming!

In this week’s techENT download, things are a little bleak with the COVID-19 situation. We had to close our office because the government has issued a Movement Control Order which limits our travels in and out of the house. That also means that we have to start working from home full time. As of yesterday’s announcement, it is going to be the situation until the 14th of April 2020.

Still, we are optimistic and will still bring you the latest in tech. In that regards, there are a couple of smartphone launches within Malaysia itself. The two most interesting ones are the foldable devices coming into the Malaysian smartphone market fold. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and HUAWEI Mate Xs is officially available in Malaysia now. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is available in participating stores at MYR 5,888. The Huawei, on the other hand, is now available online and you can get your hands on your own unit for MYR 11,111. You can choose between a delivery or pick up at your favourite HUAWEI store; though the latter option might be handy way later.

The OPPO Find X2 Pro is finally in Malaysia for MYR 4,599. The OPPO Find X2 Pro was also one of our most anticipated smartphone to come into the market. At the same week, HMD Global (Nokia) announced what seems to be the most affordable 5G ready smartphone in the world with the Nokia 8.3. They also brought back XpressMusic with their the ‘new’ Nokia 5310.

Beyond that we also saw the Sony PlayStation 5. No, there are no product renders, or even a reveal of the device. It was just a reveal of the specifications of the PlayStation 5. It is just slightly less powerful than the Microsoft Xbox Series X. There is one thing extra on the PlayStation though, and that is called the ‘Tempest’ 3D audio engine.

techENT Download | OPPO Find X2, Realme C3, BlackShark 3, More COVID-19 news and even more tech!

In this week’s Download weekly round-up we have the Realme C3, Realme 6 series, the BlackShark 3 series, and the OPPO A31. We are expecting to see the OPPO Find X2 as soon as Tuesday, so stay tuned to that.

The Realme C3 is Realme’s 2020 answer to the fast growing entry-level smartphones market. It is sold for MYR 499 and packs all the basic goodies to make it a smartphone. The Realme 6 series launched in India but we are expecting to make an appearance in Malaysia pretty soon. Same goes to the extravagance that is the Black Shark 3 series. The Black Shark 3 is a quite a recipe though with pop-up triggers and Qualcomm’s super powerful Snapdragon 865 SoC.

Oppo has launched their entry level MYR 699 OPPO A31 in Malaysia as well. That would be accompanied by the OPPO Find X2 flagship with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC pushing the 120Hz 2K display. Even the camera set-up looks impressive, even if it is just three lenses instead of four or five.

Meanwhile, COVID19 shuts down more than just MWC. Microsoft MVP, Facebook F8, Adobe Summit, Google Next Cloud, and Google I/O has all been cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. Computex is still happening though currently.

The recent Galaxy Unpacked saw the announcement of a new generation of Samsung flagships with the GalaxyS20 series. The Galaxy S20 Plus sits snugly in the middle of the series.

The new S20+ is 5G ready with either the Exynos 990 or the Snapdragon 865. This is complemented with at least 128GB with 8gB of RAM. If lack of storage is your main concern. One does not have to worry about such issue as it is upgradable with just one small addition to the phone. A micro SD storage is available that is compatible up to 1TB of storage to get your off your mind of limited storage.

However, it does not come with the 100X Space Zoom but instead, comes with a maximum 30X hybrid zoom. But not to worry about the hybrid zoom as the phone still comes with an impressive 64MP main camera to give you clear pictures and videos. With the Galaxy S20 you are now able to capture smooth 8K Videos with built in camera stabilizers within the phone itself.

With that 8K picture quality you can turn a still from a video into a photo. Worried that it will be blurry as the still is from a video? Not to worry as video stills are captured in 33MP pictures.

The S20+ is going to retail from USD$1,199. In Malaysia, it will be retailing for MYR3,999. Pre-orders will be happening from February 12, 2020 until February 26, 2020 in Malaysia.
