Better than a Galaxy S21 Ultra? | Oppo Find X3 Pro hands-on By SoyaCincau

Let's face it: it's lonely at the top, if you're a high-end flagship, android smartphone like because of what happened to Huawei, you know if you wanted to buy like a ball to the wall. No compromise, android flagship odds are you're. Going to have to buy a Samsung, or do you because Oppo with their brand-new fine x3 pro? Well, they want you to reconsider. So what is the Oppo fine x3 pro? Well, this is their latest high-end flagship smartphone from the fine series you may remember the find x, which is that crazy phone with the sliding mechanism and then the fine x2, which was like a proper mass-market, android flagship smartphone, and this is the third iteration and I think it might just be the best one yet, so you know when I say that uh a flagship smartphone has to be, it has to make a perfect, first impression so stuff like build and feel, and all of that is really important. Well for the fine x3 pro I think they've absolutely nailed it. The moment you pick it up.

You can tell that this is like a premium device. You know it's gonna. It's got that expensive vibe to it, which is perfect. You have like these really smooth seams between the glass and the metal frame. You've got this curved edge on the display and then there's the PSD resistance, which is this beautiful, curved glass back.

So you can tell like how it's like this smooth, unbroken panel and then it sort of like like like matches the I don't know. How do you say this? It hugs the camera bump. I guess in this like almost organic way, and it just looks it looks cooler. It looks iconic, you know, according to opp, each piece takes about 40 hours to make from a single sheet of glass, and that to me sounds like an insane amount of hours just to make one piece of glass for one smartphone and that's not even the best part. The color that I have here is this blue color there's another one that it's black and that has like a mirror finish.

So it's like almost exactly like a mirror, and I think that one looks even more Trippe, because the difference between the know, glossy camera, bump area and also the rest of the phone is like almost not there. So it looks even more organic, like I really dig like the little details that always put into this glass back. So as far as build is concerned, this smartphone top marks absolutely top marks, and then we have performance so for a flagship smartphone to be good. It has to have the top of the line performance and this device. It delivers.

Furthermore, it's powered by Qualcomm's brand-new snapdragon 8 processors, which is your know the best chip that they make, and it also comes with 12 gigs of ram, and this model has 256 gigs of internal storage. If I had one gripe, it would be the storage because I think 256 gigs is not quite enough. I think, if you're going to really go all out and make like an insane smartphone, it should have 512 gigs of storage, but at least it's not 128. So I guess 256 is pretty good for most people, and I've been using this smartphone um on and off for a little because I haven't had a lot of time to spend with this device, but so far gaming is great on it. Everything runs really smoothly.

Um browsing, you know all the stuff that you would need a smartphone to do like so far no hiccups. So that's pretty good. I'm also quite impressed with the new color OS, because um OPPO's software has always been, like you know, famous for being really bloated, hideous, but I think that they've really dialed it back recently and the new version color OS 11, isn't quite as egregious as its predecessors. You can have stuff, like you know, an app drawer, and you know everything doesn't look super cartoon and ridiculous anymore, and that, I think, is a good thing. The only thing that I'm I mean, I'm still not a big fan of, is that there are still a lot of unnecessary apps that come pre-loaded with the OS.

So that is something like I would like the option to at least turn it off. When I'm, you know setting up the smartphone, if I don't want all those like extra duplicate apps these days' flagship smartphones also cannot skimp on battery and honestly for the fine x3 pro. I think this is maybe my one of my least favorite things about it. It has a 4 500 William hour cell, which isn't super great for a 2021 flagship smartphone. I think like if you're going to go all out on a flagship.

Smartphone, give me five thousand William hours. You know give me that big five zero, zero, zero um, but the upside is that it does support super VOC, 2.0 and that's a 65 watt fast charging standard and this time, unlike its predecessor, it has wireless charging, so they call it air took, and it charges at 30 watts, which is okay, pretty good, and then there is the screen, so the Oppo fine x3 pro, has a really gorgeous screen. It's like one of the nicest screens that I've seen on a smartphone, and before this you know I was checking out like the Samsung Galaxy s2 new ultra. So it's its right up there. This is a dual curve screen, it's 6.7 inches, and it pushes a resolution of quad, HD plus, so you've got high-res a good size and the sexy gorgeous curves, and then it also has a refresh rate of hertz, which means everything is smooth and buttery, and you can run 120hz at quad HD resolution plus there is also an adaptive mode that can let the phone intelligently set its refresh rate based on what you're using it for, so you can go all the way down to 5, hertz or all the way up to 120 hertz, depending on the task. What's more, Oppo is also talking a lot about color with this screen, so this display can reproduce 10-bit color and there is also support for HDR, 10 plus, and you know according to them.

So this is what they told me right. They told me that people have different kinds of color perception, which is true, like there's a bunch of varying degrees of color blindness, and you know color perception and all that so to help make sure that everybody, you know they have like the best color experience possible, they've baked in something called the tunnel 100 hue test. So if you want to bring up the color vision, enhancement, uh screen, you can see that there's this option, uh color vision enhancement. So I turn it on there's like a bunch of presets, so you've got grayscale red filter, green filter and then there's also personalized, which you tap on and bring up this color vision test. So you can start this, and then it's basically a hue test.

So what you do is you arrange the hue based you? You fill up all the dots with all the hues, and it will be like okay, your eyes can see this range of colors, so we'll adapt the screen to match. So apparently, there's like over 700 different permutations and combinations that it can do so. The idea here is that you can get like the best possible color experience on your smartphone screen. I don't know how effective this is, because when I did the test, it said that I had perfect color hue um, so there is no difference, love for me. So a good screen obviously made me think like okay, is this good for content consumption and I have to say yeah pretty much, because it's got first of all that really nice screen.

Second of all, a pair of pretty good stereo speakers so uh, it's an earpiece plus bottom firing setup, but they sound like they sound pretty full. If you know gaming if you know mobile gaming, then you probably have heard of the ROG phone 5. The other thing that a top of the line flagship smartphone needs is a good camera system and Oppo apparently has spent a lot of time in developing this camera system. So it has two. You know: uh new Sony, sensors, this mix 766, which Oppo says that they've worked together with Sony to produce, and these are both 50 megapixel sensors.

So you've got a 50 megapixel sensor, a wide angle. Camera and also a 50 megapixel sensor in the ultra-wide angle camera. So the idea here is that you will not then see like a drop in quality between the 15, megapixel, uh white camera and also the ultra-wide camera, because that's usually where you know you see like a sacrifice in terms of image, quality, uh and color performance. The idea of using the same sensor is that you don't need that anymore, but in my testing, okay, first of all the photos that this phone can take, they're pretty good like I would say that they're right up there with some of the best flagship smartphones in the world, uh like I wouldn't have an issue with using this as, like. You know my daily driver for all the kind of stuff that I would shoot with like a smartphone camera daylight shots, look crisp, there's plenty of detail.

The colors definitely do look nice most of the time, but sometimes the HDR can be a little too aggressive like, for example, if I should take like a daylight shot. Sometimes it goes like too extreme to make the sky um not be blown out. So then it looks unnaturally um exposed compared to like the rest of the photo, which is like really well lit. Image quality in low light is also pretty good. There isn't like a lot of noise.

Whether you have nightmare on or off, though there definitely is a difference between nightmare on and off nightmare on has a lot more detail, but you know the noise is okay, it's not too bad and there's like a nice balance between sharpening and noise reduction. So the photos look pretty natural, but again with night mode on sometimes like it can get a bit too aggressive we're trying to lift the shadows so, for example, some shots. You know we'll see like it looks a bit unnatural because they've lifted too much of the shadow, so it looks like a very flat image rather than like a more contrast yum. Look that you know is like what I've I saw when I took the photo, but to answer the claim of whether, like the ultra white and the white has like the same kind of images uh, it's still not really there. I mean it's pretty good, like I would say it's pretty close.

It's almost like iPhone levels of clothes, but there is still a little of difference in terms of like the color and I think the lens on the ultra-wide angle. Camera isn't nearly as good, because if you look at the edge performance you still it's still a little soft and- and you do lose some detail there and if you're taking low light photos with the ultra-wide lens, there is noticeable vignetting. There is also a 13 megapixel telephoto camera, but you can tell like this. This phone isn't designed to be like super zoom. The way the galaxy phones are um, so you're good with like 2x zoom, and it does 5x hybrid zoom, which looks pretty good, but anything more than that, like I wouldn't recommend, because you lose a lot of detail there.

I'm also not like a huge fan of the 32 megapixel selfie camera up front. I think there's like too much whitening and just like my skin tone doesn't look like that, like even when I turn beauty mode off right. It still makes me look like young see, but my favorite camera okay, before that. Before that I always complain about macro cameras. Okay, I think they are absolutely pointless.

I think they're so stupid, like it's, it's pointless. It's like why! Why even bother you know you just get a little closer yeah sure you can see some details, but it's not like mind-blowing kind of details. You know because at the end of the day it's still like a close focusing lens, but so this is where Oppo has like. I was. I was like skeptical so, but then Oppo was just like took that perception and was like huh get that out of here, because what they have on the opal phone x3 pro is something they call the micro lens.

Let me tell you when I first saw an action. It's ridiculous. So here are a couple of samples of what uh. I'm trying to take okay, so we have like, let's say this photo of my jeans: okay, so this is like what a normal photo is, and this is what it looks like with the micro lens like that is. That is an incredible like that is insane.

I can count the number of threads that is in that weave, so it's like it gets so close like that's like. Oh, it's so close, it's incredible like I couldn't stop taking photos with this, this micro lens it was insane everything looked different. It was almost like you're entering like Ant-Man's realm. You know it's like the most mind-blowing macro camera that I've ever seen and finally, okay yeah. Maybe it's a bit of a gimmick, but it's so cool right now, it's probably the best party trick you could ever have and okay, so the way you take a photo.

Are you put the phone down on the table right with the microscope lens on and then you, you sort of lift it up to let a bit of light in but to help it out. So, as you can see here, there are three camera modules right this one. This is the micro lens, so that ring around it. That is a flash, so that will turn on and light up your subject and like it's so impressive, like ah the the sample photos are probably spinning for themselves, but it's just it's its so cool. I mean, I would admit, yeah it's not like.

It's probably not integral. It's probably not like functionally useful, and you can't like to see cells and stuff. So you can't tell whether something has like gross cells or not, but I mean come on. Okay, so fan. Boxing aside, there is a lot to like about the Oppo fine x3 pro, but you know the stuff that I mentioned here besides, like maybe the micro lens or like some other, like unique things.

Um you'll probably be able to find in like your Xiaomi, mi, 11 or any kind of affordable, android flagship. So how can they sort of cross that barrier and justify like fighting with the big boys? Well, a lot of that has to do with like the little details. Right so Samsung has their ecosystem to rely on. They have stuff like Samsung pay and that's something that Oppo doesn't have like their own version of, but they have like whatever it is that they could put in. They have done it, so previously it lacked uh wireless charging.

Now there's wireless charging uh. It also has ip68 water and dust resistance. It has this insanely incredible back design and there's also something called the find experience which is like an after sales service for people who buy the fine x3 pro, and with this experience you get a bunch of perks that you know you would associate with like a premium product. First, you get international warranty so anywhere that sells an Oppo smartphone. If there's like an issue with your phone in that country or wherever it is that you are, you can just go and claim your warranty there.

You don't have to come all the way back to Malaysia, which sometimes you have to do even with like high-end, expensive, smartphones, there's also like a priority service. When you go to an Opel center, so then you get you don't have to queue up with, like the rest of the peasants by the selfie experts. You've got your flagship. Smartphone you've got your own lane, so you know. That's that's like a's a touch.

It's a nice touch. You know, there's also um stuff, like a courtesy phone when your phone is being serviced and like a bunch of other things that really help you um take like a regular smartphone experience. You know up a notch and I think that's that's key if they want to compete in the area that apple and Samsung are thriving in so yeah. If you ask me about the Oppo 5x3 pro, I think that is probably the best flagship I've ever seen out of OPPO. I think it has a lot of potential.

I'm really excited to like use this smartphone. But those are my initial thoughts. I'm pretty excited to see another competitor, because I don't want anything to be a one horse race right that just sucks and now that there is a huge gap that Huawei has left. You know other smartphone makers, they better start stepping it up uh, because you know the pie is right for the taking so yeah. Those are my thoughts on the Oppo fine x3 pro, I'm I'm pretty impressed.

I like it quite a lot actually, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. What do you think of the Oppo find x3 pro? Let me know in the comment section below speaking of comments before I end this video. Let me just um, you know reply to some of the comments that I saw on the previous Oppo video. So this is from my Oppo x2021, which is the rollable smartphone video, so nail, says nice, nice Azeem salmon says I wonder if the screen that is folding under is lit up also, and so the phone is unfolded is still draining battery. That's actually a good question.

I didn't think to ask that to the Oppo rep, but then again it's a concept phone so probably like when it goes to the market. It's probably going to be a little different, uh or, if it ever does like you know, it's probably going to be a little different and I think, having something that constantly drains. Your battery is not going to be good for the smartphone, so they probably have to figure out a way around that the bad fret says I would love to see an increase in size three times the original size. So he's talking about the phone from like the small phone then increased three times I think that'd be too big, like as it is like. It was really quite hard to hold one hand um.

I think that size was okay, but if you go like three times, it's like that's pretty massive like okay, and we're talking about width and size like, oh, my god, that's like a TV. I don't know if I like that. Furthermore, I think that size is like okay about eight inches. That's like all right! That's it for this video! Thank you so much for watching.
