OUR VERDICT
If it were not for its super-high price, the Oppo Find X3 Pro would be incredibly easy to recommend thanks to its good-looking screen, bespoke camera sensors and modes, powerful processor, fast charging and more. However, with this phone costing as much as it does, we would only recommend it for professionals and those with large budgets.
REASONS FOR
- Fantastic cameras
- Plentiful software customization options
- Good-looking display
REASONS AGAINST
- Super-high price
- Design downgraded from predecessor
- No periscope camera
Two minute review
Our Oppo Find X3 Pro review was a hard article to write, because the phone is two things. It is a super impressive piece of technology, with a great-looking display, top cameras, and fast charging, and in that regard it’s something to behold. But it is also a consumer device, that you might be considering buying, and its high price is a frightening prospect.
The Oppo Find X3 Pro is Oppo’s most premium flagship smartphone of 2021, bringing brand-new features and bespoke tech to a flashy-looking device: this is an instruction in why you should pay attention to Oppo as brand that can go toe-to-toe with the likes of Samsung and Apple.
Launching alongside a low-end Find X3 Lite and mid-range Find X3 Neo – there is no ‘non-Pro’ Find X3 – the Oppo Find X3 Pro is nothing short of a super-smartphone, rivalling the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max in features as well as price. It’s also a successor to the Find X2 Pro from 2020, the highest-end device in the Find X2 line, although while it’s an upgrade in many areas, it’s a downgrade in a few too.
