Features of the Oppo Find X3 Neo

A sturdy and beautiful design

The first thing we achieve by having the new Oppo Find X3 Neo in our hands is the strength of it. Especially for the feel of its rear panel.

A back panel that I would dare to call a reference to be imitated by othersIt does not slip, does not catch fingerprints, it has a very pleasant touch and is beautiful to look at.

It is forbidden to put a case on this phone, because its back panel is change color as light hits it. Something you can see by looking at the photos that accompany this article.

The front panel is dominated by its screen, with a slightly curved design this gives it a little distinctive touch compared to its rivals. Completed with an aluminum frame that brings strength to the whole.

If we focus on the distribution of the different elements, we have the power button on the right, the volume buttons on the left. And the tray for the SIM card, the USB connector and one of the two speakers in the lower area.

Screen that shines with its own light

In the multimedia section, the new Oppo Find X3 Neo not saved nothing up your sleeve. Offering everything the most demanding user could ask for in one smartphone of this range and this price.

Its screen is one of the jewels of the device, 6.5 inch with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 in a panel 90Hz AMOLED. This brings before our eyes a great level of sharpness, color representation and a brightness resistant to all light situations.

We are facing a device in which you can enjoy all kinds of multimedia content, incluido HDR, play games or just surf the Internet. The experience he puts in our hands lives up to expectations.

We complete the multimedia section with the sound of the new Oppo Find X3 Neo. Where stereo speakers stand out, with a ideal clarity and volume to accompany your spectacular screen.

A small detail that we liked is the inclusion of a USB headset with the device, since we don’t have a 3.5mm jack, which we positively appreciate.

A spectacular performance

We have come to talk about a high-rise multimedia section, which is accompanied by the performance of the new Oppo Find X3 Neo at the same level. A smartphone What don’t play games, devour them as if nothing.

The person responsible for this performance deployment is the Snapdragon 865, attached to 12 GB RAM and the very fast 256 GB of storage. A set that hides a performance beast under a beautiful design.

We opened several apps, played demanding games, and at no time found any lag or drop in performance. Something that, along with the 90Hz display, complements a smooth user experience to the user.

Focusing on the most fun section, we tested the new Oppo with demanding games at Genshin Impact or Project Cars Go level. And at high graphics levels the gaming experience was a delight.

Obviously at such high demand levels we noticed that the device was getting hot but it was being distributed on the back panel. Something that that did not prevent to be able to enjoy these games to his favorite.

Ultra-fast charging that continues to amaze

We come to one of the usual sections of Oppo devices, super-fast charging, something that continues to impress no matter how much we used it in other models of the brand.

In the new Oppo Find X3 Neo you have a 4500 mAh battery coupled with ultra-fast charging 65W SuperVOOC. What does that mean? Well in a 100% charge in just over 30 minutes… wordless.

If these figures are spectacular, the autonomy of the device is not to be outdone. At rest consumption is almost zero and in normal use we obtain without too much hassle at the end of the day.

ColorOS 11 continues to evolve

the Software This has always been a tricky aspect in the Android ecosystem, since not everyone is updated with the same regularity. On many occasions being the stone in the shoe for many users. Is this the case with the new Oppo Find X3 Neo?

Well it must be said with great relief that this is not the case, since we have Android 11 with the security patch of March 5, 2021, all wrapped in the manufacturer’s ColorOS 11 layer.

If we add to that that Oppo recently announced that he will be giving three years of updates to the Find X3 range, we can say that in this aspect, we are at the level of other manufacturers. Hope this sets an example.

The only one but we found it in the preinstalled applications, in particular Facebook, TikTok, and Netflix. Be able to uninstall all of them except the latter. Something that doesn’t affect the user experience, but it’s there.

With a focus on the user experience, it has been very positive overall. The fluidity of the system has been a constant and ColorOS has matured enough to offer level of customization that has nothing to envy to other user layers.

Photographic experience appreciated

We come to another of the jewels, there are a few, of the new Oppo Find X3 Neo. We are talking about the photographic section, of which I must admit that I really appreciated analyze this phone.

Taking all the prominence on the rear panel, we find a set of four sensors. Principal of 50 Mpx f / 1.8, an ultra wide angle of 16 Mpx f / 2.2 both by the hand of Sony.

Complete it with a telephoto lens of 13 Mpx f / 2.4 with x2 optical zoom and x5 hybrid zoom, with a macro of 2 Mpx f / 2.4 Does all this display measure up? The answer is a resounding yes.

The weakest sensor of all is the macro, however, the rest … are there to use and enjoy the experience. Either the main sensor which offers sharp images and good color representation.

If we are talking about the telephoto lens, a sensor that gives a lot of play, we find high quality images even when using the x5 hybrid zoom. Beyond that, we can achieve a 20x zoom, which is not recommended.

Focusing is very fast, the presence of stabilizer is highly appreciated, the performance in low light conditions maintains an acceptable level of quality … If to this we add a Software very careful camera, we just have to take advantage.

Obviously this is not perfect, the macro is far below the rest and you have to be careful with the use of burst shooting because it gives the feeling of offering lower quality images. But in the rest, the experience is very satisfactory.
