Oppo Find X Launched In India

Oppo has finally launched the Find X in India for a price of Rs. 59,990 exclusively through Flipkart. The company also plans on selling the Oppo Find X through offline stores. Pre-orders for Find X will begin from 25 July and the phone will go on sale starting 3rd August. The hefty price may be a turn-off for some people but it would be nice to see how well the phone does in the Indian market. Oppo is among the first manufacturers from China to release a phone at this price range. There is still no official word on when the Indian market will see the Oppo Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition .

Oppo Find X

The Oppo Find X looks astonishing with its unique and close to truly bezel-less design. The whopping 98.3% screen-to-body ratio is another feature which makes the Oppo Find X one of the top devices of 2018. The way this smartphone manages to achieve such a ratio is by moving the front camera behind the display. The front camera along with the rear camera is docked away in a motorized panel which pops-up when needed.

The two colour variants in which the Oppo Find X will be sold in India are Glacier Blue and Bordeaux Red.

The motorized mechanism has a high probability of failure. Although Oppo has tested the pop-up mechanism for 300,000 slides. The company says that the average person unlocks their phone 100-150 times a day. This puts the mechanism’s shelf-life to about 5 years of failure-free usage.

Stealth 3D Camera

The OPPO Find X misses out on a fingerprint sensor and instead uses Face Unlock which they call it the Stealth 3D Camera. The company claims that it is a bit more advanced than the software-based Face Unlock found on other modern day devices. The Find X uses a dot matrix projector to scan the face to allow the unlock, this is quite similar to the tech seen on the iPhone X.

Under the hood, the smartphone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Powering the smartphone is a 3730 mAh battery with support for VOOC Flash Charging. Out of the box, the smartphone will run Android 8.1 Oreo with ColorOS 5.1 on top of it.

The sliding module houses a 16MP and a 20MP aperture rear-facing dual camera setup. These are 1.26″ sensors with an aperture of f/2.0 aperture. The smartphone is capable of recording 4K videos at 30fps but, we know that the chipset can handle 4K videos at 60fps. The camera on the front is a 25MP sensor with a f/2.0 aperture.

In Europe, the Oppo Find X retails for a price of 999 Euros which is why most people speculated this smartphone will launch in India for Rs. 80,000. The smartphone will go on sale in India for a relatively cheaper price. Stay tuned to iGyaan as we will be taking an in-depth look at the device.
