The Oppo Find X2 Pro is a premium quality phone that provides a quality spec. But as always, the X2 Pro will naturally be at risk of scuffs and scratches but there's no better way to protect your shiny new phone than with XtremeSkins and our premium quality vinyl. While the Oppo brand name might not carry the clout of an Apple or a Google or a Samsung, the Find X2 Pro shows that Oppo can make phones to challenge with the best of them, and while there are occasional annoyances when it comes to the software, you can say that about any smartphone. Don't let the Oppo badge put you off from making this your next smartphone upgrade, because it stands up to scrutiny.

In terms of buttons and ports, there's the standard volume controls on the left of the phone as you look at it, the power button on the right, and a USB-C port on the bottom. The phone also has stereo speakers, which we found did a decent job of playing music and video audio in our testing. The Oppo Find X2 Pro also comes with an IP68 rating for protection against liquid and dust – it can survive in water up to a depth of 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes. The Oppo Find X2 Pro has a 4,260mAh battery, which would normally be pretty standard for a premium smartphone; however, the aforementioned screen tech seems to take its toll, and battery life isn’t fantastic as a result. There’s no depth-sensing or macro camera here, but the absence of the latter is made up for with a macro mode on the ultra-wide camera, which automatically snaps on when the device senses that the subject is very close. The Oppo Find X2 Pro’s charging speeds make up for its shortcomings in terms of stamina though – the company’s 65W VOOC charging system is startlingly snappy, and at the time of writing it’s the fastest charging speed available on a phone, matched only by another Oppo handset. When we put the Oppo FInd X2 Pro through a benchmark test it returned a multi-core score of 3295, which is high for an Android phone. In fact, that score beats the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, with only the OnePlus 8 Pro, Motorola Edge Plus and iPhone 11 devices achieving better results.On paper, the Oppo Find X2 Pro has weaker camera specs than some of its premium competitors, but peer behind the veil – and start using the thing – and you’ll discover that there’s more at play here. They’re bright and bold, with pictures taken in low-light conditions hardly showing the noise that these types of images generally suffer from, and photos snapped in full light looking glorious – and the night mode is one of the best we’ve seen outside Google’s and Apple’s product lines. There’s no wireless charging here, however, which is surprising given that almost all top-end smartphones offer this feature, and is likely down to the phone’s rear material given faux leather or ceramic doesn’t conduct power as well as glass. This is perhaps the most glaring hole in the Find X2 Pro’s line-up of features.

Even low light can't trip up the phone – it can capture an impressive amount of detail at night, with an impressively low level of noise, and while the night mode means that you need to keep the phone steady for a second or two, it's worth it for the results. When it comes to video, you can record at resolutions of up to 4K at up to 60 frames per second, and again the results are what you would expect from a premium-level phone. The phone runs the latest Android 10 operating system, with Oppo’s custom ColorOS UI laid over the top. The main differences here are aesthetic, and whether you prefer this UI to another will be down to personal taste. This is the version we tested out, and it feels truly premium, as it’s easier to grip and more comfortable in the hand than the typical glass most devices are made of. We use high quality glue that does no harm to your phone and doesn't leave any residual glue after removalNext on this list the DCTxie mirror case for the Oppo Find X2 Pro. Advertising itself as a ‘mirror case’, it has a clear front-facing cover which actually does act like a mirror when you are not using your phone. It also comes in a variety of color options, adding to its appeal. Generally, with light use, the phone would last us around a day, although if we were to push it to its limits and game with it, or spend lots of time enjoying the 120Hz scrolling through social media, or shoot a lot of video, then we’d need to charge the phone part-way through the day. Auto macro mode could be useful to save you from manually having to switch the mode, but when it’s activated you’re switched from the main camera (which you’ll likely have been using) to the ultra-wide one; this would mean the framing of the close-up subject would be changed, which sometimes meant we had to to re-frame the picture, which could be irritating. We’d appreciate the ability to disable automatic macro mode, but there doesn’t seem to be any such setting. Other perks include an always-on display that’s more vibrant than those on some other devices, snappy gesture navigation, and a useful real-time network speed indicator in the notification bar that lets you see how fast your internet connection really is. There’s also barely any bloatware – we wish Xiaomi would take a leaf out of Oppo’s book here. Zooming in with the Oppo Find X2 Pro will result in pictures that aren’t as fuzzy or noisy as zoomed shots from competing phones – sure, pictures sometimes can look a bit grainy, especially when you’re using the digital zoom, but this is one of the best cameras we tested for optical and hybrid shots. Pictures that were zoomed in looked almost indistinguishable from those taken at 1x zoom, except of course they were taken using the lower-res sensor.
