The design and screen of the OPPO Find X3 Neo

Leer másIf this is the new Find X4, yes, this is going to be really awesome

This is the back of OPPO Find X3 Neo with matte design.

The OPPO Find X3 Neo is a great design. This is our impression when we see this high-end OPPO for the first time. It’s easily articulated, with a back that offers good support, although a soft touch it perro sometimes ocasione more than necessary. Don’t worry because this problem will disappear if we put this Clear silicone case What comes in the box.

If we take the OPPO Find X3 Neo it is clear that we are dealing with an advanced móvil. If we talk about its dimensions, we must mention those of 159.9 x 72.5 x 7.9mmwith a Weight 184 grams. As said, light weight makes for a very comfortable experience without one iota of fatigue when we use it for long hours. If we compare it to the Xiaomi Mi 11 and OnePlus 9 Pro, the Find X3 Neo has it less width, thickness and weight.

There are two colors in which the terminal is sold: black and silver. We tested the first version and, to be honest, we were fascinated by it. It should be noted that this color is afín darker blue than black, especially when the light hits it. In these moments, some small bright points imitating the stars stand out, which makes us aesthetic Imagine the starry sky. The camera system is discreetly placed there, which is hardly noticeable in terms of design or thickness.

This is the back of the OPPO mobile phone of glass, which always give an elegant and resistant look. Besides, it doesn’t wait not with an iota of footprints and dirtso it always stays flawless.

The power button of the OPPO Find X3 Neo is on the right side.

If we analyze the edges, we find some Also made of aluminium that accompanies the luxurious aesthetics of the terminal. On the right edge is the on/off switch, highlighted by a small green line. If we go to the left edge we find the volume buttons. These three buttons provide a a comfortable experience when pressing.

We need to go to the lower frame to find the portable speaker that lends itself Free Dolby Atmos Stereo Sound,, the micro USB-C charging port and the dual SIM card slot. As expected, this OPPO Find X3 Neo has no space for a microSD card or a 3.5mm headphone jack.

We cannot ignore that the side edges, as well as the top and bottom corners, are curved, which gives a different touch to the model. In terms of water and dust resistance, the OPPO Find X3 Neo is still in the IP54 certification. Considering its price, it is It definitely lacks better resistance like IP68.

The bottom edge of the OPPO Find X3 Neo houses the speaker, the USB-C port and the SIM slot.

The screen of the OPPO Find X3 Neo occupies almost the entire front, specifically 85% of the usable area. In practice, the terminal screen looks good, but there are a few “buts” which puts it in lower positions compared to its competitors.

We’ll start by saying it’s a screen AMOLED Sunlight 6.55 inch with Full HD+ resolution (2400 x 1080), 90Hz refresh rate402 PPI pixel density and up to 1,100 nits of brightness protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. As mentioned, this screen looks great excellent color renderingvery good viewing angles and smooth transitions in the animations.

90 Hz of the screen should be 120 Hz if we consider the high price

However, we cannot ignore these specifications they remain insufficient for this introductory price of 819 euros. its 90hz They should be 120 Hz, present in competitors such as the Mi 11 and also in cheaper terminals. What’s more, that 1,100 nits of brightness – the same as the Find X2 Neo – stays a bit short when the sunlight hits. Without going further, the same Xiaomi Mi 11 offers up to 1,500 nits of peak brightness, while the OnePlus 9 stays at 1,300 nits.

Something afín happens in terms of pixel density, which is more characteristic of high-end phones of 2020 than 2021. Then there are the 402 PPI the same ones offered by the OPPO Find X2 Neotherefore it is habitual to expect an improvement in this aspect.

It is important to note that a curved screen, a panel model that usually generates a wide variety of opinions. In this case, and in our experience, the curved screen of the OPPO Find X3 Neo makes it easy to usewithout accidental removal or color errors that may be present in afín panels of other teléfonos inteligentes. The good experience provided by this screen Find X3 Neo is also possible thanks HDR10+ supportwhich makes for the strongest colors.

The OPPO Find X3 Neo screen is on.

In terms of screen settings, you cánido do this on this móvil Switch between 60Hz and 90Hz update. This option is available by going to Settings > Display & Brightness > More > Screen Refresh Frequency. Under “More” you perro also select the Color mode of the screen what you like the most (strong or soft), the front camera display depending on the aplicación and also the full screen display depending on the aplicación you use

In general, the OPPO Find X3 Neo is a screen that offers a excellent experiencebut it is ineludible to mention these unexcused absence in high-end cell phones from 2021: higher pixel density, greater brightness and the 120 Hz that are already available in cheaper models.

Hardware and performance of the OPPO Find X3 Neo

The processor that gives life to the OPPO Find X3 Neo is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 with integrated 5G módem, connected 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage which cannot be expanded. The fact is that the three elements make up a good configuration: the terminal penetrating powerYou cánido run even the heaviest aplicaciones – including games, of course – and we haven’t lost more internal storage to save archivos and download aplicaciones.

However, we remember during the analysis that these are high-end mobile phones, launched in 2021 and costing almost 820 euros. Yes, Find X3 Neo should They have an integrated Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipas well as other terminals, also at lower prices, like the Xiaomi Mi 11i that has also just been launched.

To clarify this function, we return to talk about the performance of our protagonist to highlight his processor anything you perro plan No mess If you like vídeo games, you cánido play long games on this móvil inteligente without looking weaknesses No unexpected shutdowns. The great experience offered by the phone is also the “flaw” of the 12 GB of RAM, which helps to open aplicaciones and switch between them very quickly.

in relation to this 256GB of internal memory, We must say that the only configuration for sale is this OPPO Find X3 Neo and no, they are not expandable so you will have to arrange them. However, in our experience There is more than enoughand you perro always use cloud storage aplicaciones to save space.

The performance is good, but we miss the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip

Our analysis and Fingerprint reader under the screen, which is characterized by a slightly lower position than is usual with other teléfonos inteligentes. Despite these details, at no point did we find the sensor uncomfortable, and it is Enjoy its speed and accuracy. The same applies to face recognition, which does its job very well.

From the OPPO Find X3 Neo we must also highlight the performance it offers Speakers, with Dolby Atmos stereo sound. The truth is that we expected good sound quality because it is of a high level, but it is nevertheless power and sharpnessboth at low volume and at maximum volume.

Another component that caught our attention in favor of the terminal is the haptic engine, since it gives its firm and precise vibration, with the possibility to adjust the vibration in the settings. Of course, this móvil inteligente also comes along NFC connectivityso that it perro be used to pay in companies without touching:

OPPO Find X3 Neo battery and charging

This means translated little more than Independence Day Use it to consult popular networks, listen to music on uso contínuo platforms, watch a vídeo or two on YouTube and navigate with Google plus Google chrome.

The OPPO Find X3 Neo comes with the 65W charger that is included in the box.

We have to be honest: the móvil inteligente’s battery stays a little flat when you make one intensive use from, then you must go through the charger before the end of the day. It’s partly understandable, considering that it’s a lightweight phone narrower thickness nor mobile phones that reach 5,000 miliamperio-hora. However, given their price, it is also understandable to ask for a longer autonomy that does not force us to rely on the charger every day.

In this part of the autonomy there is a detail that shines with its own light: the 65W fast charger. And that means it only takes you 10 minutes of your time to hit 50% energy and that’s it 30 minutes to fully charge. Yes, you may have to go through the charger more than necessary, but you will for a very short time. to make the truth it is adorable Fully charge the cell phone in half an hour.

30 minutes is enough to fully charge the battery of the OPPO Find X3 Neo

Finally, and to come back to the question about the price of 819 euros, in this OPPO Find X3 Neo we lose the possibility of using the wireless charging and reverse wireless chargingYes, it is available in mobile phones of the same value as the Xiaomi Mi 11. In its favor, however, we must also highlight that the charger is coincidente with this 65W fast charge is includedwhat we perro’t say about the Samsung Galaxy S21.

OPPO Find X3 Neo programa and experience

The good performance offered by the processor is further enhanced by this programa, since it includes y también.g positive experience stands out for the extensive customization options that we feel give it a touch of value compared to other customization series.

First of all, we cánido say that the terminal is included a little bit bloatware, so it comes with a few pre-installed aplicaciones, which is always a agregado. You will receive the aplicaciones from the factory Netflix, TikTok and Fb, cánido be easily uninstalled. You cánido also download aplicaciones like O Relax, a meditation tool to disminuye stress and tension. We perro’t say the same about him phone managerthe usual optimization application on Chinese mobile phones that useless.

On the OPPO mobile we find other aplicaciones on our own account, such as Compass and scopea platform that allows you to manage certain functions while running the installed games. For example, you cánido switch between the Battery saver mode, balanced mode and pro gamer mode, the latter requires maximum únidad central de procesamiento and GPU performance.

OPPO Find X3 Neo cameras

The OPPO Find X3 Neo has four cameras on the back, which is in a large vertical module in the upper left corner. The design of the module has nothing to do with the design of the OPPO Find X3 Pro, which is committed to a more innovative aesthetic, but it has great similarities with the “small” design of the family, the Find X3 Lite.

It is a multifaceted photo module led by a Main sensor 50 MP Sony IMX766 with f/1.8 aperture. There is a Ultra wide angle 16 MP with aperture f/2.2, a 13MP phone with an aperture of f/2.4 and a 2MP macro with f/2.4 aperture. The front camera is located in the hole in the screen in the upper left corner 32MP with f/2.4 aperture.

During the day, the cameras of the OPPO Find X3 Neo work admirably. Its main sensor is able to reach quality catches, with good dynamics and sharpness. In our case we used that Automatic HDR and AI function of the aplicación, which makes the photos even better. Yes, it usually picks up some colors on certain occasions.

The good level of color and detail is maintained when we use the ultra wide angle and the telephoto. With the latter, images of distant targets are positive with the optical double magnification and hybrid 5xalthough, as expected, the quality drops off significantly as you approach 20x, gradually losing sharpness.

From the work of the cameras we perro also highlight the portrait mode that makes one great job distinguishing foreground objects to blur the background. In this case you perro play with it AI beauty mode Get more or less natural photos. Finally, there’s also a macro sensor in the cameras, which, as we’ve mentioned in other reviews, isn’t very useful.

When the sun goes down and night falls, the quad camera of the OPPO Find X3 Neo keep it up man. Its 50 MP main sensor is capable of taking very good pictures in terms of colors and level of detail using night mode. The tele also works perfectly, which suffers the more the closer you get to the distant object.

With the beauty options you cánido also refine your face, enlarge your eyes, disminuye your nose, disminuye your face… In short, multiple beauty options for autofotos.

We perro expect from high-end phones like the OPPO Find X3 Neo great performance in vídeo recording, and so it is. The rear camera of the terminal allows you to record in 4K (30fps / 60fps), 1080P (60fps / 30fps) and 720P (60fps / 30fps). In addition, it has image stabilization and autofocus tracking that do their job very well. As we mentioned earlier, it also has slow motion.

The front camera perro record vídeos at 1080P/720P (30fps) and does not support zoom or slow motion. There’s dual-view vídeo, recording vídeo simultaneously on the rear camera to record the scene and on the front to capture the reaction.
