Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo, which is one of Huawei’s largest competitors, has just announced its newest handset — the Oppo Find X. And we want one. The trouble is, we’re going to have to go to Europe to get one.
The difference between the two handsets is considerable, though almost none of those differences are internal. They share the same massive screen, which crams in more pixels (and maintains clean lines on the rear of the device) by making the cameras a pop-up affair. Think a mini-slide phone, where the cameras slip back into the main body. and you’ve got the idea.
And, like its namesake, the Oppo Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition is fast. Very fast. With regards to charging, that is. The standard Find X uses VOOC wireless charging, which gets its 3,730mAh battery full in a little under two hours. The Lamborghini Edition is the first smartphone to pack in Super VOOC tech, which will crank a dead 3,400mAh battery to max in just 35 minutes.
As far as price goes, since you’ll have to travel to Europe to get one we’re going to go with ‘considerable’. The standard phone will cost the local equivalent of around R16,000, while the Oppo Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition will set you back closer to R27,000. And that’s not including plane tickets to Paris and back.
Oppo’s Find X will be launching in August this year. The more expensive handset doesn’t have a release date just yet.
