OPPO Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition: A partnership between OPPO and Kodak?

746

A recent
leak
 from Digital Chat Station suggested that OPPO is collaborating with Kodak to create a special edition of the Find X3 Pro. While there are no official information regarding the phone’s name, some reports suggest that it’ll be called the OPPO Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition.

 Find X3 Pro Photographer Edition will only sport a different design?

This collaboration features a very different appearance for the Find X3 Pro; users will get a dual-texture finish on OPPO’s flagship phone — the top of the phone has a metallic finish while the bottom of the bottom of the phone has a dark navy leather finish.

This design is likely to be inspired by one of Kodak’s classic camera outlook. However, that is the only difference that you’ll see in the special edition OPPO Find X3 Pro. We are still expecting similar specs, including its dual 50MP camera setup and 32MP front camera. However, OPPO may take us by surprise and include some Kodak-exclusive filters/features in the special edition phone.

Just like the original
Find X3 Pro
, you should expect a 6.7-inch QHD+ display supporting up to a 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the Snapdragon 888 chip, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s also a 4,500mAh battery that supports SuperVOOC 2.0.

We’re unsure if this version of the Find X3 Pro will arrive in Malaysia, but it’s likely to launch in China first within the next few weeks.

OPPO Find X3 Pro specs revealed on cloud testing platform

448

The OPPO Find X3 Pro will be launching soon, but key specs of the phone have been exposed ahead of launch thanks to a cloud testing platform.

According to leaked
screenshots
, the OPPO phone model PEEM00 comes with 12GB RAM, 256GB storage and runs on a Qualcomm chip which has a 2.8GHz core paired with three 2.42Ghz big cores and four 1.80Ghz small cores — the Snapdragon 888 chip fits the description.

Quad HD resolution with up to 120Hz refresh rate

Image credit: Voice

We also know the the Find X3 Pro will ship with ColorOS 11.2 based on Android 11 and has a 6.7-inch display that pushes 1440 x 3216 resolution. It’s a given that the phone will come with an AMOLED panel and previous leaks have suggested that it’ll have variable refresh rate ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz.

Quad camera setup with two 50MP sensors?

GSMArena
 also pointed out that the 16MP main camera could be the post-binning resolution, so we can expect a 48/64MP lens on the Find X3 Pro. It’ll be accompanied by a macro lens which has an LED ring around it and two extra 50MP lens in which one is probably a telephoto lens.

What’s with the OPPO Find X3 Pro’s weird camera bump?

Image credit: Voice

Like Samsung, OPPO is also switching up the camera bump design — the Find X3 has a ‘seamless’ camera bump design so the camera setup doesn’t look as detached from the rest of the phone. We get that smartphone brands are trying to be more creative in phone designs, but we’re not sure if OPPO is going the right way.

OPPO Find X3 Pro to feature 50MP quad camera and a 120Hz screen

521

OPPO has already confirmed that the Find X3 Pro will be equipped with the Snapdragon 888 chip that was recently announced, but here are more specs that have been leaked by tipster
Evan Blass
.

Find X3 Pro’s display comes as no surprise

Apart from its chipset, the Find X3 Pro is expected to come with a 6.7-inch curved OLED display that supports 10-bit colour. In addition, it’ll have an adaptive refresh rate from 10Hz to 120Hz, but these are all the features that we’ve also seen on the
Find X2 Pro
.

There may be faster wireless charging

OPPO will also include a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging paired with 33W VOOC Air wireless charging; we should also expect to see a storage configuration of up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, but don’t hope for an expandable storage.

OPPO wants to include two powerful 50MP lenses

Surprisingly, OPPO will be including two 50MP sensors in the Find X3 Pro. These sensors will function as the wide and ultra-wide camera, but OPPO’s not stopping there — there’s also a 12MP telephoto lens and another 2MP macro lens. On the front, we should be expecting at least a 32MP lens.

OPPO Find X4 Pro patent leaked: under display camera & secondary display

1.1K

OPPO held its annual tech convention last week to reveal multiple new inventions and products; and a few days after, its patent for the OPPO Find X4 Pro has surfaced on the internet.

According to
LetsGoDigital
, OPPO has filed a patent onto the China National International Property Administration (CNIPA) for worldwide protection of the patented design.

The smartphone will sport a front panel with curved edges and an under display selfie camera; the power and volume buttons are located a little further back, possibly to accommodate the front display. Moreover, we can see that the device is quite thin with only the camera housing protruding out.

There will be a quad-camera setup and a flash held together in a square module. Beside it is a square secondary display that shows the time, date or notifications; the secondary display is also likely to act as a preview screen for when you take selfies with the rear camera. With this, you won’t have to worry about the under-display camera’s quality.

We can expect great camera quality from OPPO’s upcoming flagship series as it will feature the company’s new neural processing unit (NPU) —
MariSilicon X
. This chip is built on a 6nm process technology and supports real-time RAW image processing and 4K Night Video.

Other than that, the OPPO Find X4 series is confirmed to feature MediaTek’s new
Dimensity 9000

SoC with the series set to release in Q1 2022 so stay tuned as we keep you updated. In the meantime, you can checkout OPPO’s

OPPO foldable phone leaks: Could it be the best foldable phone?

1.2K

Foldable phones are getting more and more popular and it seems that many big phone companies are starting to work on their own foldable phone. There was a lot of
speculation

about an OPPO foldable phone, and now we finally got a first look into some specifications and what we can expect.

As we get closer to the end of the year, OPPO nears releasing one of their own foldable phones, and now, a leaker on Weibo named
Digital Chat Station
 has tipped some information about the specifications of the device.

Credit: “Digital Chat Station” – Weibo (Translated from Mandarin)

They said that the smartphone will have an inner folding mechanism similar to the Samsung foldable phones, with the outer screen having a punch-hole selfie camera and a curved glass that will be capped at 60Hz. While the internal screen will also include a punch-hole selfie camera in the upper left corner, but will be a 120Hz panel instead.

The OPPO foldable phone is also expected to have a fingerprint scanner on its side and a triple camera configuration with a 50MP main lens, and a 32MP selfie camera on the front. The leaker also did mention that it will follow a design similar to the camera bump on the OPPO Reno6.

But of course, these are just leaks and nothing has been officially confirmed by OPPO and this is just a first look into what we should expect as we are getting closer to the phone’s release. So be sure to look out for more updates about the newest OPPO foldable phone from us.

OPPO goes selfie centric again with the 16MP selfie camera A57

326

While most smartphone manufacturers have been upping the ante on their front facing shooters considering the fact that selfies play a big part in our lives right now, companies such as OPPO have been going on a frenzy with selfie focused handsets for quite some time now. The OPPO A57 is the latest addition to the company’s strong selfie game of smartphones. Announced in homeland China, the OPPO A57 has a 16MP front facing camera that shouldn’t go wrong.

Apart from its camera, the rest of the specs for the OPPO A57 happens to be pretty much sub par. For starters, the phone sports a 5.2-inch LCD display in 720p resolution instead of the usual Full HD resolution. Underneath the hood sits an octa core Snapdragon 435 processor, coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Storage is further expandable with the micro SD card slot supporting up to 128GB of extra storage.

As mentioned earlier, the OPPO A57 went all out with its selfie camera, standing at 16 megapixels. On the rear end, the handset features a 13MP PDAF camera with f/2.2 aperture, equipped with laser auto focus. It packs a 2,900mAh battery which sounds enough given the 720p display on the front. The OPPO A57 will set you back 1,599 CNY (RM1,033.55), so unless selfies are your strong suit and your main purpose of getting a smartphone, the OPPO A57 doesn’t sound like it’s worth getting given the rest of its specs. What do you think?

Oppo hints at the introduction of new sub-brand Reno

397

Oppo are slowly taking strides to become a major player in the smartphone industry – they’ve introduced a prototype with 10x zoom, pop-up cameras, their Realme sub-brand to penetrate the budget market, and now, with the introduction of a second sub-brand, Reno.

According to Tech Radar, Oppo had released images of the logo along with a few art works onto their official Weibo page, announcing the inevitable arrival of the brand.

Image credit: Tech Radar

We suspect the name to bare no relation to the American city; but what we do suspect is that Reno will be Oppo’s avenue to reach a younger, more expressive audience. We say this because their logo is laced with colors – it’s reminiscent of abstract art. Even the letter ‘e’ in Reno is tilted ever so slightly for extra aesthetic flair.

Reno is also expected to introduce a debut device sometime this year, however no solid details of the phone have been released yet. Watch this space for more deets on the mysterious brand.

OPPO INNO Day 2020 happening this November 17

348

The OPPO INNO Day is an event where the brand show off their upcoming tech, be it the kind that’s ready to use, and the sort that’re more prototypes that lead to more innovations down the line.

Happening this November 17 in Shenzhen, it appears that OPPO will be set to introduce a good mix of both types of tech according to tipster DigitalChat – the practical sort includes a phone that supports 125W of wired fast charging. We’ve seen this in action before when OPPO demo-ed it at the ChinaJoy Expo earlier this year – suggesting that OPPO has the phone and compatible charger ready for launch soon.

Next item on the list could also be of the practical kind – under-display selfie cameras; we’ve seen a bit of this too from both
OPPO
 and
Xiaomi
, but no phones currently come with this feature. Under-display selfie cameras are essentially front-facing lenses that has a small display layered on top – when the camera is in use, the display turns off, becoming transparent; when the camera is not in use, that tiny display’s pixels light up and syncs with the rest of the smartphone’s screen to project a seamless image – in theory.

Moving on, we’ll also see ‘internal folding screens’ – it’s hard to imagine what that means, but we guess we’ll have to see during the event.

OPPO Reno 10x Zoom

Other innovations set to take the stage include a 10x optical zoom camera with the capability of 100x digital zoom too. This isn’t quite as impressive as the other innovations considering not many people rate smartphone camera zooms that much.

The event is happening next week as mentioned before, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on the latest developments as they come.

OPPO INNO DAY 2021: first ever retractable camera, smart glasses, what else?

1.2K

OPPO’s annual technology convention, INNO DAY, is kicking off on 14 December and the company has already teased us with some of the technologies they will be introducing. OPPO will be unveiling its self-developed retractable rear camera, neural processing unit (NPU), and the long-anticipated smart glasses.

Apparently the agenda behind the retractable camera technology is because “most pop-ups are annoying”.

https://twitter.com/oppo/status/1468143243183468556

The markings seen on the camera module show that the sensor is 1/1.56-inches and a 50mm equivalent lens with f/2.4 aperture. The camera will extend itself automatically once you open the ‘Camera’ app just like how a pop-up camera would work. The brief video also teases the durability and its ability to remain waterproof while extended.

Other than that, we’ll also be learning more about OPPO’s new neural processing unit (NPU) — MariSilicon X and smart glasses.

During the event,
you can even create your own avatar that will appear on the screen and walk around just like how you would visit a museum in real life.

The event is happening next week as mentioned before on 14 December 4pm, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on the latest developments as they come. If you wish to join OPPO INNO DAY 2021 yourself, visit the official page

OPPO introduces SmartSensor and Super VOOC at MWC 2016

333

Unlike many other smartphone company’s, OPPO didn’t bring their soon-to-be-launched smartphone to MWC 2016. What they did show off at Barcelona however, is far more interesting.

At MWC 2016, OPPO revealed that it has managed to move image stabilization out of the lens and into the image sensor. This tech is known as the SmartSensor, and it works by calculating vibrations on the pitch axis, yaw axis and roll axis. Once the calculations are done, the sensor would then compensate for them using a voltage-driven microelectromechanical system (MEMS). OPPO has boasted that this new SmartSensor brings a new level of precision when compared with a traditional lens-based IS system, being “10 times more precise than lens-based technologies”.

The second piece of technology that OPPO unveiled at MWC 2016 is an upgrade of OPPO’s existing tech, more specifically OPPO’s VOOC quick charge tech. OPPO revealed that the company is currently developing Super VOOC Flash Charge, a quick charge technology that has the potential to fully charge a smartphone in just 15 minutes. In essence, Super VOOC will deliver a constant 5V of power, allowing a 2500mAh battery to reach 45% capicity in roughly 5 minutes. OPPO has said that the components made to support Super VOOC will rely on “premium and extremely reliable military-grade materials”. Super VOOC will be available for both Micro-USB and USB Type-C configurations.

OPPO is launching another quad camera smartphone; expected to be the Reno2 series

282

OPPO may have launched its quad camera phones recently (the A9 2020 and A5 2020), but the company is once again teasing another quad camera smartphone that will be coming soon to Malaysia.

According to OPPO, this smartphone is “rumoured to have brilliant capture experience without any hindrance,” so we should be looking at another 48MP quad camera that could take various kinds of pictures. This time, all four cameras will be vertically aligned — unlike the A9 2020.

The current OPPO Reno 10x Zoom sports a triple camera setup in a vertical alignment, but this mysterious phone has one more than the Reno 10x Zoom. We’re guessing its the OPPO Reno2 series — where its already launched in India.

If so, then we might be seeing three variants of the new Reno2 series — the Reno2, Reno2 Z and also Reno2 F. The Reno2 sports a 48MP main camera, a 13MP telephoto lens, an 8MP wide angle sensor and a 2MP mono lens. On the other hand, the Reno2 Z and Reno2 F replaced the 13MP telephoto lens with a 2MP portrait lens.

Of course, these are just our speculations. OPPO Malaysia hasn’t provided conclusive details about the quad camera phone, but if we’re right, then we’ll be getting the Reno2 series just five months after the first Reno series’ launch.

Oppo is releasing a 10GB RAM variant of the Find X

354

Oppo wowed the world with the Find X that came with a full-body display and a slide out mechanises that exposes the front camera as well as the receiver grill. It also came with the latest time of the line specs and it the only contender was the Vivo Nex. The company looks to be unhappy with their current top position as one of the unique smartphones and plans to take a step up by including a ridiculous and crazy upgrade to the phone.

There were rumours that the Vivo Xplay 7 was supposed to come with 10GB of RAM making it the first phone to come with that amount of RAM but it looks like OPPO has beaten them to it as a Chinese leaker by the name of Universelce shared a phone showing the Find X with 10GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. To further confirm the leak, a TENAA listing of the phone appeared showing a 10GB RAM variant. Everything else is still the same, it comes with a 6.42-inch AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 845 processor, 16MP+20MP rear cameras and 3730mAh battery which supports fast charging.

OPPO Find X adds a 10GB RAM version, which will be the world's first 10GB RAM Smartphone.

Having 8GB of RAM in current phones have satisfied users but perhaps, with 10GB of RAM it might open up a whole new world of multitasking, or it could be just a show of power from the company. The 10GB RAM variant is expected to retail for 7999 Yuan.

Powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 810 SoC and supported by 6GB RAM and 128GB of expandable storage, it has a 6.56-inch IPS display that pushes HD+ resolution and refreshes at 90Hz, which might be a little underwhelming on paper, but OPPO claims that the display can reach 600 nits of brightness and has a responsive 180Hz touch reporting rate, it also covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space, and with that kind of screen size, one might not notice the low resolution display unless viewed closely.

In terms of software, the A77 5G ships with ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12, which is a good selling point considering most mid-range phones of the same price range still ships with Android 11.

Powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor assisted by the Marisilicon X Imaging NPU, the Find N2 comes with an upgraded camera system, which includes a 50MP Sony IMX890 main sensor with OIS, a 48MP ultrawide sensor serviced by a Sony IMX581 and a 32MP telephoto lens that’s serviced by a Sony IMX709, OPPO claims to be a self-developed solution that’s implemented by Sony.

The Find N2’s battery capacity has been increased to 4520mAh and supports 67W SuperVOOC fast charging, which takes a mere 42 minutes to fully charged from 0%.

While the OPPO Find N2 sounds like a worthy successor, OPPO hasn’t revealed plans on its global and local availability, but it is most certain that you will find it on sale in China.

OPPO launches Find X5 series in MWC 2022

1K

After a series of teasers, the OPPO Find X5 series is now official as the smartphone brand has unveiled it at Mobile World Congress 2022.

Like what we have reported previously, the highlight of the Find X5 series would be its dedicated imaging Neural Processing Unit known as MariSilicon X, which features a 6nm process that’s designed to resolve challenges in night videography and features an advanced AI noise reduction algorithm designed by the OPPO Research Institute, preserving finer detail, skin tone and colour accuracy pixel by pixel while reducing noise levels when taking 4K videos.

Assisting the Find X5’s low light videography capabilities is also attributed to the famous 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor, which you get two of them as the wide and ultra-wide lens and is the first smartphone in the industry to achieve that, the telephoto lens takes 13MP stills with a 5X hybrid zoom and 20X digital zoom. However, only the main wide-angle camera will have a 5-axis OIS system.

As for their front cameras, OPPO uses the same Sony co-developed 32MP IMX709 sensor as the Reno7 series, which will automatically switch to a 90-degree wide-angle when it detects a group of faces for wefies. On top of that, the Find X5 Pro incorporates Hasselblad’s Natural Colour Calibration in the Pro Mode with a range of creative Master filters.

The regular Find X5 on the other hand features the regular flagship frosted glass and aluminum build, and comes with a smaller 6.5-inch 120Hz billion-colour display.

With a 5000mAh battery onboard, the Find X5 Pro supports 80W SuperVOOC flash charging and 50W of AirVOOC wireless charging, while the Find X5 has slower wireless charging at 30W.

Both phones will be available in colors of Black and White, local availability will be announced at a later time, but we are sure it won’t be long as Malaysia is a key market for OPPO.

OPPO launches the F1 Plus in Malaysia

330

OPPO has finally brought the successor to the F1 to Malaysia. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the F1 Plus.

In terms of specifications, there are a few changes from the F1 to the F1 Plus. Gone is the Snapdragon 616 as OPPO has decided to go with the MediaTek Helio P10 Octa-core processor. The F1 Plus also comes with 4GB of RAM, an improvement over the F1’s 3GB, and 64GB of storage space which can be expanded to 128GB.

Like the F1 that precedes it, the F1 Plus’ main attraction is the front camera, hence its ‘Selfie Expert’ moniker. The front camera is a 16MP snapper that comes with Hi-Light technology. Couple that with the large f/2.0 aperture and ISOCELL technology and you have a phone that can capture clear, bright and colourful selfies while generating four times less noise than the standard front camera on other smartphones.

The other half of the selfie experience is the software and OPPO did not disappoint in that segment either. OPPO has been hard at work on improving the Beautify feature on its smartphones and the fruits of the labour is Beautify 4.0, which allows users to capture selfies with bright, clear skin, and beautifully defined facial contours. New to the F1 Plus is the Selfie Panorama feature which allows users to take extra-wide 120-degree front-facing photos as the F1 Plus combines three photos seamlessly. All of these is further augmented by the Helio P10’s TrueBright image signal processor engine, which enhances colour resolution and detail.

While the front camera is the main highlight of the F1 Plus, OPPO did not neglect the rear camera as the phone sports a 13MP rear shooter.

Imaging aside, the F1 Plus is also the first OPPO smartphone that sports a front-facing fingerprint sensor. Unlike other fingerprint sensors, OPPO designed its sensor to be able to learn over time, gradually refining its image  of the user’s fingerprint which allows for an efficient and smooth unlock process. Finally, the F1 Plus also comes with OPPO’s signature VOOC fast charge technology, allowing you to fully charge the phone’s 2,850mAh Li-Po battery within an hour.

Interested? The OPPO F1 Plus will have a retail price of RM1,898. While the device will only be available nationwide on the 11th of April, OPPO will begin sales of the F1 Plus at Sunway Pyramid at 6pm today.

OPPO releases League of Legends edition of the Reno7 Pro in China

969

OPPO just launched the
Reno7 series
 to the Chinese market a few weeks ago but the company wasn’t done just yet. Now, it has partnered with Riot Games to create a special edition OPPO Reno7 Pro that comes with multiple goodies and notable visual changes.

The phone doesn’t come in your conventional packaging but rather in a missile-shaped box that represents Jinx’s (League of Legends character) signature rocket. Inside it, you have your Jinx phone case, stickers, lanyards and of course, the 65W charger.

Left: League of Legends Edition; Right: Original Edition

Compared to the original edition, the League of Legends edition sports a matte-black body with blue and pink accents around the frame. It also displays the “L” that symbolizes the game’s logo on the back panel.

Other than that, its theme adopts the design of Jinx and the League of Legends game client with the trademark blue and light gold colour. OPPO has clearly put a lot of thought into the icons as well because majority of the app icons have been adjusted to fit into the League of Legends theme.

The phone sports a 6.55-inch FHD AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, you have a Dimensity 1200 SoC paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage; the smartphone also uses a 4,500mAh battery.

There are only 10,000 units of the OPPO Reno7 Pro League of Legends edition and it’s priced at 3,999 yuan (around RM2658.91) which is the same as the original edition. There’s no word of this ever being released internationally but you can check it out on
OPPO’s China website

OPPO licenses the VOOC Flash Charge technology to industry partners

361

While battery size is an important aspect in smartphones, the recent years have shown that the charging speed of a smartphone matters to many consumers. With the current fast charging technologies, smartphones require less and less time to charge, and one of the well-known fast charging technology is definitely OPPO’s VOOC Flash Charge.

The company held its SuperVOOC Flash Charge Open Day in Shanghai at the beginning of this month announcing that it will officially license the VOOC Flash Charge technology. OPPO signed patent license agreements with six chip and terminal manufacturers, and aims to expand the usage of the VOOC Flash Charge technology in the industry so that other industry partners can also provide the flash charging experience to more global consumers.

“As the leader in flash charging, we are dedicated to extending the advantages of VOOC Flash Charge to the whole industry,” said Yiren Shen, the Global Vice President and China President of OPPO.

OPPO also plans to license the technology on a fair and non-discriminatory basis to ensure that other industry partners will also be able to share the VOOC Flash Charge with their consumers. As of now, there are already six partner manufacturers that are permitted to develop and sell chips and accessories with VOOC Flash Charge, but OPPO stated that the license will be expanded to accommodate for more innovative products to be manufactured. With the licensing, it might be possible to see many more items that are battery-powered to get the flash charging, not just smartphones.

OPPO’s licensing of the VOOC Flash Charge also includes SuperVOOC Flash Charge, which has been a recent hit for being able to charge the Find X and OPPO R17 Pro very quickly. The R17 Pro was able to reach from 0% to 40% in 10 minutes and the Find X can be fully charged in just 35 minutes. The company said that the serial bi-cell battery, 3C specification cells and VFC algorithm all contribute to the speedy charging rate. In addition, the SuperVOOC technology is certified to be completely safe with its intelligent five-core protection that includes military-level customised devices and smart chips.

We should be expecting more devices and accessories powered by the VOOC Flash Charge next year and if OPPO continues to develop and improve on the current technology, maybe they’d be able to produce an even better flash charging system that can fully charge a phone in just 10 minutes.

Oppo Malaysia to absorb GST on phones and maintains current retail price

274

If you are reading this article and stuck in Malaysian roads at this point of time, you’d have known in two days time the Goods & Services Tax (GST) will be implemented on consumer electronics and almost everyone is out there shopping for their new gadgets before the price increases. Oppo, a smartphone maker that makes really gorgeous devices like the N3 and R5, have committed to absorb the GST on their devices and hence no increase in their phone’s retail price.

This is a good news for Oppo smartphone buyers, the company mentioned that they’ve received high demand of orders from customers on their flagship N3 and R5 smartphone in the recent months and have decided not to increase the prices to ease the burden of consumers, it makes a lot of sense since Oppo smartphones have a pretty healthy margin percentage and by selling the products in volume, the company is still sure to reap in profits on their smartphones, if you’re still complaining that Chinese smartphones should be lesser than RM1000, Oppo’s smartphones are really worth paying for and to own, especially the
N3 smartphone which we’ve reviewed back then
.

Therefore, if you are thinking of buying a smartphone from Oppo and stuck in the road for now, head on back home and enjoy a cup of coffee, because Oppo isn’t going to increase the prices of their phones and stocks are always readily available at their retail outlets. And if you’re asking again, Oppo will absorb the GST on all their phone models, not just only flagships.


OPPO Malaysia will introduce the Find X on 17 July

380

It didn’t take long for the futuristic OPPO Find X to make its Malaysian debut, as OPPO Malaysia has sent invites to the members of the media for the launch of the company’s most futuristic smartphone happening on 17 July. If you have not known already, the Find X is the first smartphone that comes with a motorized camera module that pops up when activated, it is also the most powerful smartphone that OPPO has ever made till date since the Find 7, which comes with a Snapdragon 845 chip and 8GB of RAM.

Design is obviously the main highlight of the Find X, as it does away with the infamous notch that everyone has been complaining about, OPPO has also been putting huge efforts on promoting selfie phones for the past three years and using celebrities to ramp up its branding, hence the arrival of the Find X is opportune to show its fans and customers that the company could still make great looking devices. Despite the innovative design, there are already reliability concerns about the motorized camera modules, and also how you would be able to fit a case to protect the device.

More details will be unveiled as the date draws near, while we have also heard that OPPO is expected to price the device at a cool RM3,699, let’s hope for some surprises from the company in another two weeks.

OPPO marks the new year with the OPPO F15

296

OPPO is ready to start its 2020 by releasing its first teaser of the upcoming OPPO F15, set to launch on January 16.

One thing’s for sure, the F15 will come in the iridescent colour

that is widely spotted among 2019 Android phones. The teaser poster also revealed a few key specs of the phone, including a 48MP AI quad-camera, an in-display fingerprint sensor, 8GB RAM and also VOOC Flash Charge 3.0 support.

If the F15 follows the same design as the F11 series, then the F15 will sport a waterdrop notch while the F15 Pro will house a pop-up mechanism resulting in a notchless display. However, it’s possible that the F15 may take it up a notch and just go notchless for both models.

Perhaps this time, the F15 series will upgrade its processor and also battery size; we’ll only know when it launches or if there are leaks in the near future.

OPPO might introduce its 10x Hybrid Optical Zoom Technology in China, this 16 January 2019

303

There’s a high chance that OPPO will soon introduce a 10x hybrid optical zoom technology for smartphones this week.

While it was previously speculated that the technology could be showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona next month, a leaked invite suggests that OPPO may debut the highly anticipated tech at a separate event in China, on 16 January 2019.

Based on the leaked invite, the light on the doorway shows the number 10 (十) in Chinese character.

This could be an indication that OPPO may be planning to introduce the 10x hybrid optical zoom technology at the event in China.

Back in 2017, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, OPPO showcased its 5x lossless zoom technology. However, the technology is yet to be commercialized.

If there rumors are true, The first smartphones to feature the technology could be the OPPO F19 and F19 Pro.

Apart from featuring the 10x zoom camera technology, the F19 duo is expected to sport a punch-hole display and could be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 675 processor under the hood.

We can expect the technology to be used in the OPPO R17 successor as well, which is expected to be marketed as R19.

At the end of the day, other than the leaked invitation, there’s still no confirmation of what OPPO will introduce to the public.

To find out more about the new technology, we shall wait patiently for this 16 January 2019.

Oppo N3 First Look & Unboxing


Oppo N3 Review: A flagship that proves front facing camera sucks

370

Oppo isn’t a company like its other Chinese competitors, the company doesn’t sell smartphones in a flash sale model, it doesn’t have the biggest ecosystem available and their product price points are almost on par with brands like Apple and
Samsung
. In Malaysia, everybody has the impression of Chinese phones should be priced below RM1000 and judging the value of a smartphone is very wrong in that sense, while I personally do not agree that expensive smartphones are necessarily the best smartphones, but you simply got to pay for what you really appreciate, just like how you value a Louis Vuitton bag and a no-brand genuine leather bag. The Oppo N3 is the smartphone that could change everybody’s perception towards a well-made Chinese smartphone, we maintain our early impressions of using the best Chinese smartphone and present to you our final verdict.

Oppo N3 Hardware Specifications

Processor:
 Qualcomm
Snapdragon 801
 8974AA 2.3GHz Quad-Core

Battery:

No sexy design but a little luxury

The Oppo N3 is probably the heaviest flagship smartphone that you will ever come across in today’s standards, measuring a 9.5mm thick and weighing 195 grams feels so yesteryear when you are to compare to the company’s R5 which only possess half of the thickness. All that thickness can be attributed to the upgraded swivel camera module, which has now been upgraded to an Omnivision sensor and has been certified by Schneider.

Oppo has tried making the phone look less plastic by using a high quality polycarbonate plastic for the phone’s body, adding a metal frame around the phone does also help to make the phone look more premium and the company has even cared to include a little faux leather around the camera and earpiece module.

The little gap below the phone not only has Oppo’s attractive Skyline Notification light built-in but also allows users to slot in a lanyard for users to wear it around their neck, which in my opinion should every girl’s favorite feature, a loudspeaker is also present and plays extremely loud and high quality audio with the support of MaxxAudio.

Overall, the Oppo N3 does require some time to get used to for its huge form factor, what really got me loving the phone’s design is the well positioned power button and volume rocker on the phone, which makes it great for both right and left handed users, the phone has also sustained from a few chest drops and still works great despite of that – truly a solid piece of hardware.

Gorgeous display but lacking multi-touch points

I was playing Modern Combat 4 on the Oppo N3 and as I tried to use my third finger for panning around the scene, it didn’t work so I let go the other one, the next moment I was shot dead by an enemy. I tried convincing myself that this could be a glitch on the game however I was proved wrong when I tested multi-touch on the phone’s display – the phone merely registered 3 multi-touch inputs, 5 if you are lucky to get that number.

Despite of that, the Oppo N3’s display look gorgeous in every inch despite not having a Quad HD display, it demonstrates brilliant color reproduction, brightness and viewing angles are also great outdoors, Oppo has included the Swype keyboard which works extremely well on both English and Chinese inputs, we didn’t really have a major issue using the phone’s display but we just wished Oppo has included a better digitizer on the phone, we also suggest that you check on your retail unit as ours here could be a faulty media sample.

ColorOS is gorgeous on a fast hardware

When we used the Oppo R5, ColorOS didn’t perform well with some stuttering transitions and we occasionally encountered crashes in the user experience. On the Oppo N3, the experience was somehow a huge difference from the R5, the
Snapdragon801
 processor certainly proves its capability in powering Oppo’s software, screen transitions and weather effects are beautiful and fluid on the Oppo N3, we haven’t even encountered any app crashes like we did back then. ColorOS remains the same set of features from previous Oppo phones, consisting many gesture controls to access your favorite apps or features without searching them manually, similar to other Chinese launchers you don’t get an app drawer however navigating around the home screen is pretty seamless with its screen toggle feature.

The N3 introduces a fingerprint sensor on the back this time and it is one of the better implementations that we’ve ever come across, while its position does reminds us of the
HTC One
 Max, it doesn’t require you to swipe your finger. There’s virtually no limit in registering fingerprints on the phone and it basically does two simple things – unlocking your phone and encrypting applications, which is already sufficient in most cases. The implementation of the fingerprint sensor has also made my life simpler with just a single press and touch on it, the Oppo N3 unlocks and I’m ready to use it.

Not to forget this cute little hardware – the O-Click 2.0, which connects to the N3 via Bluetooth and lets you control your music playback and acts as a phone finder.

The Oppo N3’s user experience – apart from its huge form factor – is a great one and even though I’ve been switching phones like almost every week, it is a phone that I still carry around in my pockets and it served me faithfully all the time, which not many Chinese smartphones are able to do so.

The motorized rotating camera is a useful gimmick

The Oppo N1 brought back one favorite smartphone photography feature that once revolutionize the way we take pictures with our smartphones – the rotating camera, while it does save smartphone makers from including an additional front facing camera, it benefits users for its simplicity by simply rotating the camera to the front if you want to take that beautiful selfie or we-fie, Oppo has made it even more interesting this time by allowing in you to rotate the camera electronically.

Of course, I have to admit that anything that is electronically motorized could be fragile, Oppo has made the hardware pretty resistant to accidental bumps, which I have dropped the phone a few times on a chest height, the camera is still able to rotate electronically. The camera is manufactured by Omnivision, the very same sensor maker that used to make cameras for the iPhone and has even been certified by Scheneider Kreuznach, it takes 16-megapixel 4:3 pictures and has two LED flash lights, sadly Oppo has not offered OIS on the camera or it could be one of the best cameras that we have seen.

I’ve been taking the Oppo N3 in a few road trips and events, the motorized rotating camera helps a lot when taking pictures with a low angle and adjusting selfie shots. Is it much better than having a front facing camera? Yes. Is the motorized camera easy to operate? Definitely. Oppo offers three different ways to control the motorized camera – by swiping the fingerprint sensor, display and using the provided O-Click 2.0 remote.

Oppo’s camera software has impressed us since the Oppo R5, offering a plethora of shooting modes that will suit every different scene, the most impressive on that makes full use of the motorized camera is the Auto Panaroma mode, which saves you from panaroma stitching issues by automatically rotating the camera and it takes up to a super wide 206 degree and 64-megapixel panaromic picture, as you can see down below, it is impressive.

Most daylight pictures were taken with great color saturation and clarity on the Oppo N3’s camera, however if you were to use it for low light photography, make sure you either have really steady hands or a tripod to do so because it isn’t really impressive especially when you want to take selfies in dim light party or café. Check out the below sample shots.

While Oppo has fully focused on photography on the N3, video recording is where the phone tends to disappoint a little, we can actually conclude this to be a software issue because the audio recording bitrate is terrible on videos, which means you can hear distortion and tiny sharp sound if you were to record a live band.

Benchmarks, Battery Life and Call Quality

If only the Oppo N3 had come with a faster
Snapdragon 801
 CPU, it would make a lot of sense to consider it as a serious flagship contender, it does really make a small difference when you compared the 2.3GHz clocked processor to the 2.5GHz one which has been used in flagships like the GALAXY S5 and HTC One M8, the Oppo N3 has fortunately scored well in benchmarks we ran on it however don’t expect it to game like a champ in ultra-high graphics settings.

The Oppo N3’s battery life is excellent based on my usage, I’ve used the phone for a lot of texting and at times trying out its camera, in a mixed usage basis the phone will be able to last me a day on an always on 4G LTE data connection, you will also find the battery depleting at a reasonable rate when you are using navigation apps such as Waze.

Since the earpiece and camera shares the very same location on the phone, Oppo has been really smart to rotate the earpiece if it finds that the camera module is facing you, while I have to admit that I accidentally rotate the camera when it was in my pockets and that works pretty well. Our callers have reported an excellent voice call quality coming from the phone, while I personally have no problems hearing the speakerphone, its cumbersome size could strain my hands if I’m talking in long durations.

Verdict

The Oppo N3 is a product that smartphone photographers will want to take a look, it is my favorite Chinese smartphone to date and one that has never failed me as my daily driver. Performance? Great. Reliable? Absolutely. It has almost everything to be one of the best Chinese made smartphones except some wouldn’t be satisfied with the weight and aesthetics of the phone, the camera may not be on par as PureView, but Oppo’s extensive range of shooting modes and that rotating camera will keep you noticed and glued to that feature as long as you are using the device.

The Oppo N3 currently retails at RM2,098, it is expensive for a Chinese branded smartphone but considering the effort that the company has taken to design such a unique product, you really shouldn’t just a product’s price by its country of origin, otherwise US companies like Polaroid won’t have taken its design cue.

The Good:

+ Motorized camera is a useful gimmick
+ Decent battery life
+ Camera takes good pictures
+ Fast and reliable software experience
+ Fingerprint sensor works practically well
+ Well positioned power button and volume rockers
+ Great loudspeakers and MaxxAudio enhancement
+ Skyline notification is beautiful

The Not so Good:
– Huge and cumbersome form factor
– Reliability of motorized camera remains questionable
– Limited multi-touch points

The Oppo N3 gets a score of 8.1/10.


OPPO needs to fix one thing in order to sell me a premium phone

575

The future of smartphone design is bright once again all thanks to the OPPO Find X, which was unveiled during the wee Malaysian hours, while it is still too early to tell if the phone’s design with motorized camera modules will be successful, it is sure to have captured the spotlight and shine over other flagship Android phones. OPPO’s announcement of the Find X’s price at €999 isn’t surprising, which officially marks the company’s entry point to Apple’s and Samsung’s turf, and I’m totally OK with that and would so willing pay for the price to own the Find X simply for it’s gimmick. But one thing for sure, OPPO has one thing to fix before convincing customers like me to buy.

This thing is called ColorOS.

I’m not suggesting that ColorOS sucks entirely and it still has features that I love as a proprietary skin, but OPPO’s software still has the shadows of iOS in so many ways especially when it comes to usability, and I was seriously hoping that OPPO would have done more to its software just like Huawei’s take on the P20 and Mate 10, such as giving users the option to change the homescreen with an app drawer and if possible, a desktop mode would be great as part of the software package. Instead, the Find X features O-Mojis and some 3D AI camera features, which the former is already a feature that can be found on a number of Android phones despite having better tracking due to dedicated hardware, and the latter isn’t actually new on flagship devices of today.

In fact, I would think that it’s time that the software team at OPPO start offering a real Android experience on their phones, given the fact that I’m going to spend that much for a flagship device that finally doesn’t look like an iPhone copy, give me a software experience that doesn’t look like one too to make a difference. While I admit this could probably be my problem with the Find X, I’m still nonetheless excited with what OPPO has to offer on the table, but I really wished that OPPO can finally step out of the shadows of copying others with their flagship device, and it has certainly come a long way with the Find X’s innovative design, which I’m sure will be the next role model for many Android phone makers in building bezel-less smartphones.

OPPO patents foldable tablet accessory that houses a smartphone – comes with its own battery and CPU

302

You can always count on OPPO to attempt the outrageous – the Reno series is a beneficiary of that boldness with the Pivot Rising Camera and 10x camera zoom.

These are the innovations that have seen the light of day – we’ve also seen more that have remained in the pipelines – we’ve still yet to see OPPO’s
in-screen selfie camera
 and their
“quad-curve” display
 smartphone.

Image credit: Let’s Go Digital

To add to this list of soon-to-come outrageous designs is a foldable tablet accessory, that fits your OPPO smartphone.

According to renders spotted on Let’s Go Digital, the tablet folds like what we’re used to seeing with existing foldable smartphones – the difference is that the cover of the tablet can house a smartphone, syncing its contents with the tablet’s display.

Image credit: Let’s Go Digital

When the smartphone is placed, you use it via the tablet and even play games on it. It is unsure if the phone can be used while docked into the tablet, but it appears that the tab has its own battery and processor.

The tablet also apparently has a wireless charging receiver to charge your smartphone with. It is unsure if the tablet will have any form of storage and OS, but for now, it looks most likely that the tablet is a mere display accessory for whichever compatible OPPO smartphone.

OPPO patents quad-curve waterfall display that rounds all sides of the phone

327

If you asked how I’d define innovation, I’d say something along the lines of practicality and stuff. Ask Chinese phone makers however, and they’ll tell you that it’s about getting rid of smartphone bezels,  because that’s all they seem to be doing differently from other brands this year. Vivo has their NEX 3 with its waterfall display, while Xiaomi’s all-screen Mi Mix Alpha is a whole other specimen.

But hey, these phones have curved edges – as in the sides of the display panels are rounded. In a bid to out-do their counterparts, the folks at OPPO decided that not only will they curve the side edges, but the top and bottom edges too!

Image credit: GSM Arena

Yes, OPPO has submitted a patent for a “quad-curve” display smartphone that has rounded edges on all four sides of the phone. Light sensors as well as the selfie camera will most likely be located under the display – we know OPPO already has the latter tech in their pockets already.

Meanwhile, VIVO’s haptic touch solution for their VIVO NEX 3 could also be adapted here. According to GSM Arena, the sensors hidden in the display will also adjust brightness, while the other turns off the display.

At this point, smartphone case makers would be out of a job if this trend continues. I mean, what would the case protect if there are no bumpers on the phone anymore? In any case, it’ll be interesting to see what rolls out of OPPO’s doors this time, perhaps this new innovation could inspire new things that are more,
umm
, practical.

OPPO patents show sliding back panel which activates dual selfie camera

315

The folks at Stuff has reported on patents that supposedly belong to OPPO. The images depict a sliding mechanism for the front camera.

Similar to Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 3, the module extends across the top of the phone, rather than just a single pop-up lens like on the OPPO F11; but unlike the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is that the only the top half of the back panel slides up, whereas the Mix Mix 3’s entire back moves.

Image credit: Stuff

The patents show that the module will house two front lenses, similar to the back setup. The Mi Mix’s sliding module had to be physically pushed to be activated, so it begs the question with only half the back panel movable, if the sliding motion is automated. If it is, that makes face unlock much better than that of the Mi Mix 3’s.

The smart ring is described in the patent as a wearable that can work well with glasses.

As previously
reported
, the OPPO Air Glass can be controlled by touch, voice, head movement, and hand gestures. Perhaps pairing the ring together with the glasses will unlock even more gesture features or functionalities.

This is just a patent with no solid confirmation on the exact details but stay tuned as we’ll be sure to update you.

OPPO patents vein-scanning feature for unlocking smartphones

1K

OPPO has
reportedly

patented a new feature for its wearables that unlocks your phone by scanning the veins in your hand.

The patent describes this new feature as the “Venous Unlocking Method and Vein Unlocking Device”, and although it was filed by OPPO back in 2019, it has only now been approved.

This isn’t a completely new idea since LG toyed with a similar idea with their
G8 ThinQ
 back in 2019 as well. LG used the feature in its smartphone by utilizing a sensor at the top of the device; whether or not OPPO will implement the feature in their smartphones is still unknown.

If OPPO’s take on the feature is anything like LG’s, then we can expect it to work by first mapping out the features of your hand, which includes identifying its thickness, and other characteristics. Using that info, a software algorithm identifies the user and unlocks the device.

We’re slowly seeing what were once prototypes of seemingly gimmicky features being realised in new devices such as
under-display selfie lenses
, absurdly fast charging speeds, and foldable phones – so the vein-scanning feature could very well become commonplace in the near future.

OPPO wants a phone with a stylus, according to a leaked patent

499

OPPO is going to launch the Find X2 and Reno 3 Pro soon, but a recent patent also revealed that the Chinese company may be planning on manufacturing a phone that comes with a stylus pen.

Many other brands may add in a stylus as an accessory, but the patent OPPO filed suggests a more independent stylus that comes with its own mic, receiver and multifunctional buttons. Instead of how Samsung keeps its stylus in its own discreet socket of the phone, OPPO’s stylus is attached to the top, giving the whole device a thicker top bezel.

However, there is a tiny portion of the top bezel that is non-stylus. That’s where OPPO integrates its sensors and a front camera. The stylus itself can then be slotted into the tiny portion of the bezel where it will magnetically attach to the top and charge wirelessly when attached. The buttons on the stylus will then work as volume buttons.

We’re not sure if this OPPO phone with a stylus will come true, but we can enjoy the upcoming Find X2 and Reno 3 Pro while we’re waiting for our answers.

OPPO “pre-announces” R11s amid rising popularity of OnePlus 5T

243

While rumors have shot through the roof for the upcoming OnePlus 5T, we are not forgetting about OPPO’s yet to be released full screen smartphone just yet. Both OPPO and OnePlus have been borrowing each other’s design elements for their smartphones. Since the OnePlus 5 looks identical to the OPPO R11, it is safe to assume that the OnePlus 5T will look like the OPPO R11s.

Regardless, OPPO does want to be in the limelight for its OPPO R11s, hence it has pre-announced the smartphone before its actual launch on the 2nd of November. With the “pre-announcement”, OPPO has showcased the R11s in its full glory on its Chinese website.

Images of the OPPO R11s boast the phone’s front full screen display, something which will also exist with the OnePlus 5T as well. The OPPO R11s’ display will be of 18:9 aspect ratio in Full HD+ resolution, going with the near bezel-less front like most flagships of 2017. There will be 4GB of RAM, with OPPO possibly retaining the same Snapdragon 660 processor. The dual rear camera setup of 20MP + 16MP and the 20MP AI equipped selfie camera are pretty likely too.

The OPPO R11s will officially be available in Champagne Gold, Black and Red color options. Pricing has yet to be revealed but we should know when it launches on November 2.
