Oppo has long been known as a manufacturer of mostly iPhone-like Android handsets at very attractive price points. It's a strategy that has allowed the Chinese phone maker to take a significant chunk of the mid-range phone market in Australia.
However, the Oppo Find X is something different. It's Oppo's first take on a truly "premium" handset, with cutting edge specifications, an entirely new design idea and a price point to match. Where once Oppo could be criticised for copying design ideas, there's no doubt that the Oppo Find X is an entirely new and innovative phone, but it's also one with incredibly mixed performance.
Design
- True all-screen design
- No headphone jack
- Camera module gathers dust easily

Camera
- Swipe-up camera is slow to start
- Very wide in the hand due to pop-up camera module
- Good quality camera with plenty of options

Performance
- Snapdragon 845 delivers predictably good results
- ColorOS has been toned down
- Lacks NFC
- Lacks water resistance
- No expandable memory and lower storage than international versions
Battery life
- Great battery life
- USB C charging
- Lacks wireless charging
Verdict
- A unique take on a premium smartphone held back by its lack of core features like NFC and water resistance
