Design
The design of the Oppo Find X6 Pro is a key highlight. The model I reviewed featured a brown, dual-tone vegan leather finish, complemented by a prominent camera module encircled by a sleek stainless steel bezel. This design choice lends the device a classic aesthetic, showcasing a clear emphasis on its photographic capabilities. Despite its impressive camera setup, the phone maintains a sleek profile, with a curved front display that enhances its visual appeal.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that OPPO has meticulously crafted the Find X6 Pro, ensuring it exudes sophistication. The combination of the IP68 rating, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on the lenses and display, an aluminum frame, and the premium leather finish creates a device that captures attention effortlessly.
Cameras
The camera specifications of the Find X6 Pro underscore its serious commitment to photography. Each sensor is designed to stand out, avoiding the common practice of relegating secondary and tertiary sensors to the background, as seen in many smartphones. While this could be viewed as a marketing strategy, the results speak volumes.
The shooting modes include standard photo, video, and portrait options, alongside a robust Pro mode. The ‘More’ section reveals additional features like night mode, long exposure, time-lapse, and slow motion. Notably, the XPAN mode allows for wide aspect ratio images, creating a unique photographic effect that can produce striking visuals.
In terms of performance, the 1-inch main sensor excels across various lighting conditions, delivering sharp, detailed shots rich in dynamic range. Low-light images maintain quality, and portrait edge detection is precise. The zoom capabilities are particularly impressive, offering 3X optical zoom, 6X in-sensor zoom, and digital zoom up to 120X. While achieving steady shots at such high magnification can be challenging, AI features assist in capturing usable images, especially in scenarios like moon photography. Although 8K video recording isn’t available, video quality remains strong. The 32MP front camera performs admirably, although skin tones can sometimes appear overly soft.
Display, Performance, and Battery Life
The Find X6 Pro boasts a vibrant AMOLED display with a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate, providing stunning visuals suitable for all types of media consumption. Whether gaming or streaming, the display enhances the overall experience, perfectly complementing the phone’s photographic capabilities.
Powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, paired with ample RAM and fast storage, the Find X6 Pro delivers seamless performance across demanding tasks and gaming sessions. Benchmark scores reflect its capabilities.
The 5,000mAh battery offers impressive longevity, easily lasting a day under moderate use, even for heavy users.
Charging is a breeze, with the 100W SuperVOOC capable of quickly powering the device. Additionally, the 50W wireless charging option exceeds the wired charging speeds of some competing flagship models.
Final Verdict
In conclusion, any assessment of the Find X6 Pro is primarily of academic interest, as OPPO has yet to launch this device officially in India. This omission is unfortunate, as the Find X6 Pro is more than just a flagship loaded with impressive specs; it promises an exceptional user experience.
Today’s flagship smartphones are expected to excel in performance, battery life, and camera quality. However, the Find X6 Pro distinguishes itself further with its elegant design and outstanding photography capabilities. It is a device that truly stands out in a crowded market, and despite its absence from certain regions, it sets a high standard for what modern smartphones can achieve.
