Oppo Find X6 Pro in for review

2023-03-27

We"ve got the brand new Oppo Find X6 Pro in for review. The phone comes in a packed box with a nice case, which mimics the vegan leather back of the phone itself, a 100W charger, a SIM tool, and a USB cable.

Oppo Find X6 Pro unboxing

We"re lucky enough to have the flagship Brown model with the Hasselblad-themed vegan leather rear. The leather layer meets the specially-treated Gorilla Glass 5 top plate, which means to feel like metal. The big camera island is housed in a notched lens bezel made of aerospace-grade aluminum. There"s even a little orange dot, which is a throwback to the lens align dot on a real Hasselblad camera.

The camera hardware Oppo packed inside the camera module is impressive. The wide camera comes with f/1.8 lens and the 50.3MP 1-inch sensor currently ruling the smartphone world. The ultrawide and telephoto share a 1/1.56-inch sensor - the biggest ever put inside a periscope zoom camera.

That periscope has a 65mm focal length and a very bright for its type f/2.6 lens. Oppo claims this is the most stable periscope camera on a phone and early impressions suggest it may be correct.

Oppo has two Hasselblad-tuned portrait modes - one with the wide camera and another with the telephoto, which we"ll test in earnest in our review.

The Oppo Find X6 Pro has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip with up to 16GB of RAM. The software is Android 13 under Oppo"s ColorOS 13.1, but sadly it"s a Chinese-exclusive phone that lacks a Google Play store out of the box. We do hope Oppo will reconsider and eventually bring this beast outside of China, but we wouldn"t hold our breath.

The display is a wonderful 6.82-inch 1440p AMOLED with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate and no less than three color settings. The panel is very vivid even in its default Natural color setting, there"s a Pro mode that conforms to the D65 white standard, and a Vivid option that turns things into an explosion of color. The panel is also eye-searingly bright.
