Chinese company Oppo has unveiled its new Find X, an Android smartphone with a full screen 19.5:9 `Panoramic Arc` display, rear dual cameras, and a 3D face-scanning front camera. Unlike certain competing smartphones, such as the iPhone X, Oppo elected to use a slide-up mechanism to house the device`s cameras, rather than a display notch, resulting in a 93.8% screen-to-body ratio.
Oppo`s slide-up mechanism is triggered by swiping up on the handset`s lock screen, at which point the 3D face-scanning camera will slide into view to authenticate the user. The Find X does not feature a fingerprint sensor. According to The Verge, initial tests with a pre-production version of the Find X found the sliding mechanism moves quickly enough for comfortable daily use.
Oppo claims the Find X`s front-facing 3D camera is `AI-enhanced` to `naturally personalize` a selfie, and that its software offers 3D lighting to produce `artistic portraits.` Joining the front 3D camera are dual rear 16MP and 20MP cameras with optical image stabilization. Oppo says its camera software features AI Scene Recognition, a function that works like a `photography technique consultant` with the ability to analyze and identify 800 scene types.
Cameras aside, the Oppo Find X features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. The handset ships with Android 8.1 Oreo and the maker`s own Color OS veneer. The handset likewise features a 3730mAh battery with fast-charging support.
Oppo will launch Find X globally in August, according to CNET, which reports that the 256GB version will cost EUR999.
