Official: Oppo Find X2 launches to rival the Samsung Galaxy S20

Oppo has officially launched the Oppo Find X2, it's new flagship smartphone, looking to take the bezel-free phone to the next level. 

The original Find X was one of the first to appear with a pop-up camera, leaving the display free of notches, but now Oppo has moved to a punch-hole design. 

But it's in the core display technology that Oppo wants to push things. It's offering a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sample rate, wanting to appeal to gamers, saying that this phone will give them the advantage.

The display has a Quad HD+ resolution (3160 x 1440, 513ppi), which is a 10-bit HDR10+ compatible, so should deliver great colours too. Oppo says that it will upscale to HDR10+ quality, and that it also includes motion smoothing from its dedicated processor. This will use frame insertion to attempt to smooth out content at lower frame rates. We'll have to see that in action, because it could lead to the dreaded soap opera effect where nothing looks natural.

There are also dual stereo speakers on the device to boost the media experience. 

On the back there's a triple camera system, comprised of a 13MP telephoto, 40MP ultra wide camera and 48MP main camera on the Oppo Find X2 Pro, with the main camera using the IMX689 sensor, which Oppo says is exclusive to it. It's a 1/1.4in sensor, so the larger sensor size should lead to higher quality images. 

The telephoto will give you 10X hybrid optic zoom, while also supporting macro functions. The camera will also support raw capture, allowing you to edit your images on your PC.

Oppo is also pushing stabilisation on its video, as well as live HDR mode, wanting to make the video pop for better results. This is supported by three mics on the device, offering sound zooming and wind noise reduction.
