The Chinese brand Oppo isn’t a name that pops up often on tech headlines. But the company’s latest flagship, Find X6 Pro, deserves some attention. The phone combines a beautiful premium design with top-notch specifications – like a large display, powerful Hasselblad cameras, and some of the best performance you can get from an Android smartphone.
The main selling point of the Find X6 Pro is its massive camera array on the back. The periscope camera can zoom up to 3x optically and delivers excellent images. A regular lens can also capture stunning wide-angle photos and 4K videos. The 50MP sensor on the ultra-wide lens is quite impressive, and it can create some beautiful shots even in dimly lit indoor settings.
Lastly, the pixel-binning mode on the front camera is helpful when taking pictures in low light conditions. As a result, the Find X6 Pro can produce some sharp and detailed selfies, despite the lack of OLED flash.
On the software side, Xiaomi’s MIUI 14 and Oppo’s ColorOS 7.1 are based on Android 13. Both offer many customization options, and you can customize your experience according to your preferences. The MIUI interface has a cleaner and more intuitive look, while the Find X6 Pro features a more colorful interface.
Both phones have a high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and class-leading camera hardware. However, Xiaomi’s 13 Ultra seems to have a slight edge with its dual telephoto cameras and a better-performing optical zoom.
The 5,000mAh battery on the Find X6 Pro is smaller than the 3,300mAh on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, but it still has plenty of juice to last for a day of use. The fast wired and wireless charging capabilities are also excellent. In addition, the phone is IP68-rated, meaning it can handle dust, splashes, and even a brief dunk in water.
Like its predecessor, the Find X6 Pro has some impressive audio capabilities. It has stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support to deliver some great sound. In addition, the microphones on the phone are perfect, and they can pick up a lot of detail even in noisy surroundings. The only downside is that the recording quality doesn’t improve much with higher volume levels.
In conclusion, the Oppo Find X6 Pro is among the best phones we’ve seen this year. The unique, one-of-a-kind design and top-notch hardware make it a must-have for any gadget fan. The only caveat is that the phone is only available in China for now. Gray-importing it would mean you’d have to deal with Chinese bloatware, limited high-framerate gaming support, and no support for the Google Play Store (until Oppo decides to fix this).
If you’re looking for an Android flagship different from the rest, the Find X6 Pro is worth considering. Just be prepared to spend some time on the setup process and learn how to properly manage bloatware if you’re going to buy this phone.
