The OPPO Find X6 Pro is likely to be the best camera phone of 2023. The supreme hardware shows OPPO’s Courage and determination in the game.
This is our most anticipated premium phone this year, the OPPO Find x6 Pro. It’s been in my hands for about a week, and now I’m pretty sure it will probably become the legendary model of the whole series. It has the best display for a smartphone, the biggest sensors for triple main cameras, and the top performance and power solution. I know it sounds almost perfect, but I’m not exaggerating. Design
As the top flagship of OPPO, the Find X6 Pro still has excellent built quality with a smart and recognizable design. OPPO abandoned the sloping camera island design that they used on the Find X5 Pro, which was almost my favorite phone design last year. The brand-new huge round-camera module is swearing to us that aesthetics is giving way to powerful functionality. As the triple lenses with great sensors require much more space inside, the camera bump couldn’t flowingly blend with the back.
However, its center of gravity is not much affected by the large and thick module and neither shifted forward. And the weight of 218g is surprisingly lighter than I thought. So for me, the grip is good, not too heavy or too thick for holding. The glass variant looks pretty premium but it does feel a bit slippery.
I pretty much like the line they add to the camera module, which keeps the three lenses from being disorganized and also gives the location of the Hasselblad logo a reasonable reference. Actually, the upper part is covered with an extra protective glass panel.
The glass cover mainly curves towards both sides where it meets the polished aluminum frame. Like its predecessor, the frame is thin but solid on the sides and interrupted by antenna strips in 7 spots. The SIM slot with a rubber ring is on the bottom, which can take up to two nano-sized cards. As claimed, the phone supports IP68 rating water and dust resistance. The Brightest Display
The front face covers a 6.82″ 2K-level 120Hz LTPO Amoled display, which is one of the most stunning phone screens I’ve ever seen, because it’s so bright! The screen is OPPO’s brightest screen ever and probably the brightest one that I’ve ever reviewed. It can be boosted up to 1500 nits outdoors, and reach around 2500 nits in a 10% window. What made me so surprised is for watching HDR content. If we turn on the bright HDR video mode in settings, the activated brightness can be boosted up to around 2200nits.
Sometimes I even felt uncomfortable when activating the maximum brightness indoors. But this’s not its fault. The super-bright screen provides a better option to enjoy Dolby Vision and HDR videos. And of course, the Find X6 Pro comes with dual loudspeakers for stereo sounds. You can check it out here by yourselves.Triple main cameras with big sensors
It’s almost like an end-game of all brands’ camera phones this year since there’s not much space for the existing technologies to support the annual upgrade. You will probably find a lot of new flagship models coming with similar multi-lens setups, but hard to figure out what exactly got improved. Even though the shooting experience could be improved, it’s hard to say how much progress in imaging it has made over tough conditions.
But the OPPO Find X6 Pro is an exception. It’s done almost all it can do to construct the huge round module. And the fact is that its upgrade of the cameras is so straightforward, instead of just staying on the advertisement and so-called algorithm optimization.
So what’s the most effective way to improve the imaging quality of the three lenses? It’s quite easy to answer the question: a bigger sensor, another bigger sensor, and another bigger sensor.
