A poll last week showed that Oppo’s Find X6 series could sell well in the global market if indeed Oppo sells it (the future in Europe after 2023 is looks uncertain). Both models, with their differences, received strong support.
Or maybe it’s because of the similarities instead. The cheaper Oppo Find X6 uses the exact same periscope module as the Pro.The rest of the hardware isn’t quite as impressive as the Pro, but the vanilla model is 25% cheaper than its siblings, so you can beat the Pro’s full price. It’s an attractive option for those who can’t manage.
The Oppo Find X6 Pro carries Hasselblad into the 1-inch arena. We’re working on an in-depth review, so we’ll share the camera test results soon.
This isn’t the first smartphone with a 1-inch sensor. In fact, the Sony IMX989 is rapidly gaining popularity. Where Oppo tries to stand out is the “three main cameras” approach that gives equal love to the wide, ultrawide and tele modules.
As expected, there are some concerns about the Find X6 Pro’s pricing. I don’t know the prices outside of China, but the Find X6 Pro and the rest of the 1-inch offerings are about as expensive as non-foldable phones. That’s part of its charm.
I’ll finish my review of the X6 Pro soon. After that, there’s little to do, but we’ll wait and see if Oppo expands the availability of the Find X6 series to more markets.
