Oppo Find X9 Ultra vs Vivo X300 Ultra, two titans in photography with many differences in their cameras

June 9, 2026 by usatoday24

What do you base on when buying a mobile phone? Many people do it prioritizing the photographic section and currently there are proposals as attractive as the Oppo Find X9 Ultra or the Vivo X300 Ultra. But… which is better? In this article we are going to put them face to face to clarify some doubts. Oppo Find X9 Ultra (with photo kit) The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Vivo X300 Ultra (with photo kit) The price could vary. We earn commission from these links The differences between the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and the Vivo X300 Ultra Camera settings To be clear from the beginning, we are going to review the camera configuration on both phones. Although it is not the big claim, we will also mention the front camera in case it is important to you. Oppo Find X9 Ultra 50 MP front camera; f/2.4. Rear camera module: 200 MP main sensor, f/1.5. 200 MP 3x telephoto, f/2.2. 50 MP 10x telephoto, f/3.5. 50 MP wide angle, f/2.0, 123º FOV. Vivo X300 Ultra 50 MP front camera, f/2.45. Rear camera module: 200 MP main sensor, f/1.85. 200 MP telephoto, f/2.67. 50 MP wide angle, f/2.0, FOV 123.4º. main sensor Both the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and the Vivo X300 Ultra have a 200 megapixel (MP) sensor. Is it a good number? Of course, since it represents the information that the camera can capture in a photo. If it is larger, as is the case, the sharpness will be better and it will be less blurry when enlarged. In any case, the Vivo’s main sensor offers a 35mm equivalent focal length (instead of the typical 23-24mm wide angle), while the Oppo does use a more angular focal length. In both cases we also find a fairly large main sensor with a size of 1/1.12 inches. The size has a lot to do with the ambient light it is able to collect. In other words, imagine that the sensors are like windows, the larger they are, the more light they will let in. In practice, it improves image quality in difficult conditions, generating a more natural background blur, which is usually known as the bokeh. The opening is different in both cases. The Oppo Find X9 Ultra opts for an aperture of f/1.5 while the Vivo And this… what does it mean? The smaller the f/number, the larger the actual aperture of the lens: f/1.5 lets in more light than f/1.85. Oppo’s mobile is physically capable of capturing more light, making it ideal for taking photos in dark environments. Finally, optical stabilization (OIS) is present in both phones. OIS is a system that physically compensates for hand movements by moving the sensor or the optical elements of the lens. Zoom and Telephoto The Oppo Find X9 Ultra incorporates a system with two telephoto lenseswhich means that it has two lenses capable of capturing images at a great distance. And it does so without resorting to a digital system that usually achieves worse results. The first 200 MP telephoto lens includes three magnifications (3x) and f/2.2 aperture, thus offering good quality in, for example, objects or people that are not excessively far away. The second telephoto lens is 50 MP and includes 10x magnification (x10) with f/3.5 aperture, so its use is aimed at very distant distances. In addition, its aperture is smaller (less light enters), which can affect poorly lit scenes. Instead, the Vivo X300 Ultra comes with a single 200 MP telephoto lens with 3.7x magnification (3.7x) and f/2.67 aperture. This means that its sensor offers very good quality at medium distances, especially in less illuminated environments. In addition, it should be added that this mobile phone has ZEISS certification, a technology that corrects color and reduces flare to generate more realistic photographs. The ultra wide angle camera Both the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and the Vivo X300 Ultra use a sensor 50 MP ultra wide angle with f/2.0 aperture. The difference between the two is minimal: 123° versus 123.4°, which in practice is imperceptible. What might it be interesting for? For photos with landscapes in the background. Other sensors Although they may seem the least relevant, it is worth mentioning that both phones come with an additional sensor. 3.2 MP monochrome sensor with f/2.4 aperture for the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, a camera that helps better capture contrasts and shadows. Additional 5 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture for the Vivo X300 Ultra, a camera that helps to have better focus. The accessories Both phones are compatible with their respective photographic accessories. Oppo Find Vivo Additionally, it includes a grip and a tripod adapter. In summary: In any case, we are faced with two very good mobile phones in their photographic section. We are going to comment on the key points of each mobile phone without taking into account its accessories, which are optional. 👉 Choose Oppo Find X9 Ultra if: You are looking for the best main sensor. It is one of the cameras with the smallest aperture (f/1.5) currently, which offers very good results in darker environments. You are looking to take daytime photographs with high lighting using the telephoto lens with higher magnifications, since it far exceeds (x10) the Vivo X300 Ultra (3.7x). 👉 Choose Vivo X300 Ultra if: You are looking for the clean result that the ZEISS lens offers. You are looking to take photographs at a great distance, capturing the lighting well at sunset.

There is a physical limit to what a cell phone camera can do. OPPO is pushing that limit further than anyone else

May 7, 2026 by usatoday24

Standing out in the mobile showcase is a war that is fought on many fronts at the same time and mobile photography is the most decisive, especially when we enter the super high range with mobile phones that easily exceed 1,000 euros. Until recently, the fight was between the iPhone, the Pixel and the current Galaxy, but things have changed a lot and Chinese companies have advanced to the right. One of those companies is OPPO with its OPPO Find X9 Ultraone of those who is undoubtedly a candidate for the throne of mobile photography. We were in China for the launch of its new flagship, where we were able to visit its new campus in Shenzhen and speak with Jie Liu, Senior Imaging Product Manager at OPPO, who told us more details about the camera. Taking good photos is no longer enough, we want versatility We are at a point where any mobile phone in this price range takes excellent photos. Quality is presupposed, that’s why the battle has shifted to versatility: offer from an ultra wide angle to a superzoom, maintaining uniform quality throughout the range. The OPPO Find X9 Ultra has a 200 megapixel main sensor that allows us, through cropping, to simulate a 2x zoom. It is accompanied by a telephoto lens of another 200 megapixels that is equivalent to a 3x zoom and, again, by cropping it allows us to simulate a 6x. And the big news: a third 50 megapixel sensor equivalent to a 10x optical zoom or 230 millimeters. Of course you can’t miss the ultra wide angle (0.6x), which also in this generation increases the size of the sensor to improve quality. Left: 1x main sensor. Right: 10x telephoto One of the things that caught our attention is how they have integrated a telephoto with that focal length into the body of a mobile phone since, although the camera module protrudes quite a bit from the chassis, it is still not enough for such a long zoom. Jie told us that “to make the module small enough we used a telescope structure, with a new technology called quintuple reflection. This configuration reduces the physical length of the system while maintaining the focal length.” This is the structure of the 10x telephoto. Image: OPPO It is a structure of different prisms that reflects light five times until it reaches the sensor. The problem with this is that the light must travel a longer distance, which results in images with more noise and lower luminosity (the aperture is equivalent to f/3.5). “We have used technologies to reduce the noise caused by these multiple reflections, such as a layer of air between the prisms that reduces noise and loss.” The Teleconverter Claim OPPO has already started the path of teleconverters with the OPPO Find X9 Pro and raise the bar with the Ultra model. This is a photography kit that is sold separately and includes a 300 millimeter objective which attaches to the mobile phone thanks to a special case that also has a handle. It is a strategy copied from the one that Vivo has followed, first with the Vivo X300 Pro and then with him Vivo X300 Ultra (both companies belong to the same parent company, BBK Electronics). When we attach the teleconverter, we can take spectacular photos from very far away, with stunning bokeh that we can only achieve with a lens of these characteristics. This lens is attached to the 200 megapixel telephoto lens, so we can do the cropping “trick” again to achieve a 30x zoom, equivalent to 690 millimeters. The results speak for themselves: Photo with the teleconverter at 690mm or 30x At the moment, OPPO has launched two teleconverters, 200 millimeters in the Pro model and 300 millimeters in the Ultra, two fixed focals. The problem is that they only work with the model with which they were launched, meaning that we cannot use the 200 millimeter teleconverter of the Pro in the Ultra. During the meeting, we asked Jie Liu if the brand has considered launching more lenses in order to expand the range of available focal lengths, and even if there is the possibility of launching a lens with a variable focal length, for example a 200-400 millimeters: “It is a good suggestion and it is our direction of evolution, but this entails many technical obstacles. The solution we have now is temporary to ensure image quality, adding new focal lengths is a consideration for the future.” Teleconverter 300 mm or 13x OPPO wants to replicate in a mobile phone the focal versatility that any camera user takes for granted. The problem is that, although they have managed to integrate a 10x telephoto, the chassis of a phone has physical limits and there comes a point where no more optics can fit inside; andThe natural step is to complement with accessories. While its competition continues to depend exclusively on the integrated sensor, OPPO is already building that ecosystem, although still quite timidly. The photographic kit works more as an attraction, a “look what we know how to do”, and not so much as an accessory for the general public. The OPPO Find look what we know how to doand not so much as an accessory for the general public. The soul of photography Until recently, many Chinese phones suffered from overly aggressive and artificial image processing, but that is changing. One of the things I liked most about the OPPO Find X9 Ultra camera is the image processing, quite natural and realistic in general. Of course, there is AI processing, but Jie told us that it is applied in a controlled manner “always seeking coherent aesthetic results. It is applied to correct unfavorable lighting conditions, reducing artifacts and noise, improving exposure and dynamic range in complex situations.” AI is also used to improve the results of the 10x zoom “to optimize detail and stability.” Portraits are incredible, even at night (taken with 200MP telephoto, 6x). … Read more

With the Find X9 Ultra, OPPO has an ambitious plan to conquer the heart of Spain. And its CEO has told us what it is

May 5, 2026 by usatoday24

From the offices of OPPO In Madrid, at the top of a building very close to Plaza de Castilla, you can see an old water tank from the Canal de Isabel II. It is a huge concrete structure inaugurated in the middle of the last century that today, no longer in use, functions as one of the visual “landmarks” of the square. It is very big, about 40 meters high, but it is very far away. I take one of the OPPO Find X9 Ultra that’s on the table, I open the camera, zoom in 10x and take a photo. The result is impressive. The camera returns an image full of details: the contours of the concrete, already worn, the advertising signage that floods its dome, the brutalist curves that the tower draws. All this from inside an office and interrupted by a large window. I look towards the back of the room, where there are some boxes of snacks and pastries ready for breakfast. There are tiny inscriptions on the side, so I repeat the process: I open the camera, zoom in 10x and take another photo. The sharpness is extraordinary. There is no pixelation or noticeable distortion or digital zoom artifacts in the drawing of the letters, nor a great chromatic distortion with respect to what my eyes see. “What we want to do with the Ultra is not just another incremental improvement, we want it to be an alternative to your professional camera,” he explains to me. Kevin ChoCEO of OPPO in Spain since last summer. “It would be like buying a camera with a built-in phone and not the other way around, right?” I ask him. “That is, camera firstmore than a phone with an interesting camera.” Looking at the wide range of tools on the table, it’s hard not to agree. The launch of the Find X9 Ultra in Spain marks a milestone for OPPO: for the first time, the company launches its top-of-the-range phone in Europe, something reserved until now for Chinese consumers. OPPO has not spared any details: the Ultra incorporates an ambitious 300 mm teleconverter equivalent in 35 mm and 13x format that is attached to the phone’s gigantic lenses to multiply the camera’s possibilities. Why has OPPO made such a determined bet for photographyWithout a doubt the most notable aspect of a Find X9 Ultra full of attractive features and specifications? “There is a very marked polarization in the market,” explains Cho. “Around 30% or 40% of buyers continue to opt for devices under 200 euros, or even second-hand, but what we are also seeing is an expansion of the premium segments. It is the same trend month after month: premium sales are growing.” (Xataka) Cho introduces a key word: “premiumization.” The market polarization of the mobile phone is neither new nor surprising for anyone who has paid attention to the dynamics of recent years. Many consumers tend to hold on to their devices for longer, as a result of the large investments they must make, which is why they demand more performance and quality from their products. This gap, also present in markets such as the car, has forced almost all brands to recalibrate their strategies. OPPO’s ambitious plan “We don’t want transactional volumes,” Cho continues, “you know, competing on price. We want to make sure we bring products that can create value for the consumer.” According to Cho, OPPO is facing its second wave of expansion in the European market: after a consolidation of the brand and sales in recent years, it is time to grow not so much through raw numbers as through loyalty in the segments. more exclusive of the market. And for that you need a product up to the task, hence the arrival of the Find X9 Ultra. A landing that, however, has required adaptations. Since his arrival in Spain, Cho has promoted a change in OPPO’s methodology, especially regarding the consumer: “We are doing studies to understand consumer preferences and to define our strategies.” Refers to focus group and surveys with more than 4,000 respondents, a very large sample that exceeds those that the brand was doing until then. Cho is clear that the only way to compete in the premium segment is by going to the user, or, in his words, “winning the heart and brain of the consumer.” (Xataka) The approach is ambitious, as are its objectives. When I ask him where he would like to see OPPO in five years in Spain, he answers without much hesitation: “As the number one brand.” The Find X9 Ultra is the first stone of a long road ahead, a way to “test the roof” of OPPO in Europe. His first steps have consisted of relearning and readapting the lessons of the chinese marketwhere OPPO is a brand with a lot of penetration and experience in the premium segments, for Spain and Europe. Before the launch on the old continent, OPPO has had to make some adjustments in terms of operating system and memory to adapt them to local needs and preferences. Given the constraints of such a competitive segment Like the premium one, OPPO has two other arguments to win over the consumer: its operating system, ColorOS, and the battery. Cho boasts leadership in the second area and widespread user satisfaction in the first: “In China, our operating system has consistently been our main selling point for the past three years.” In Spain, the Ultra works on Android, like the rest of the market, but Cho highlights the interoperability and customization of OPPO: “We have been working on inter-device and inter-ecosystem interoperability for some time, so that you can use the phone with a Windows computer or a Mac.” (Xataka) Camera, battery, operating system… The elephant in the room that needs to be addressed is AI. Is there the definitive angle for a mobile phone brand to be more attractive than its competition? Cho’s answer is not direct but clear: OPPO’s strength is … Read more

The landing of the first OPPO Ultra in Spain begins with a huge camera

April 21, 2026 by usatoday24

Sometimes it is enough to look at a device for a few seconds to understand where a brand is going, and that is exactly what happened to me with the OPPO Find X9 Ultra. On paper, its size and the volume of the photographic module could make you think of a cumbersome mobile phone, and it is, but in the hand it also feels light, comfortable and clearly premium. Furthermore, it is a device that does not try to hide its photographic ambition, but rather makes it a central part of its identity. OPPO summoned us to a meeting to calmly explain a product to which it gives special weight within its catalogue, and it is not difficult to understand why. This is the first Ultra that the brand officially puts on the table in Spain and Europe, a move with which it wants to reinforce its position in the highest range. In fact, we will go into more depth about this topic in an interview we had with Kevin Cho, CEO of OPPO in Spain. Oppo Find X9 Ultra technical sheet oppo find x9 ULTRA Dimensions and weight Tundra Umber: 163.16 × 76.97 × 9.10 mm 236g Canyon Orange: 163.16 × 76.97 × 8.65mm 235g screen 6.82 inch AMOLED QHD+ 2K resolution Screen-to-body ratio: 94.60% Refresh Rate: Maximum 144 Hz Brightness: HBM 1800 nits processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 memory 12GB storage 512GB battery 7,500 mAh (silicon-carbon) 100W SUPERVOOC 50W AIRVOOC rear cameras 200 MP f/1.5 main, OIS 50 MP f/2.0 Ultra Wide Angle 200 MP f/3.5 3x telephoto, OIS 50 MP f/2.2 10x telephoto, OIS front camera 50MP f/2.0 connectivity 5G Dual SIM NFC Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 6.0 GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BDS operating system ColorOS 16 others IP69 certification Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor price 1,699 euros The camera is not an addition, it is the starting point Where this intention is most noticeable is in the design language itself. OPPO explained to us that it has been inspired by the Hasselblad X2Dand that reference is not just an aesthetic wink, but in a very specific way of building the terminal. The camera module, with that Master Lens design on a hexagonal piece, dominates the rear and does not try to go unnoticed. On the contrary, what we see here is a deliberate decision: to take that protuberance as part of the product’s character and turn it into a way of telling us that the camera is not an add-on, but the center of everything. That idea is also transferred to the materials and the way the phone seeks to fit in the hand. We have seen two very different finishes. Tundra Umber is committed to ecological vegan leather, with dark tones and brown nuances, and it is the one that best expresses that search for a firmer grip and a feeling closer to that of a camera. Canyon Orange, on the other hand, offers a more striking proposal, with a matte finish and the use of aeronautical fiber to reinforce resistance. If we go down from the brand narrative to the terrain of the technical sheet, the Find X9 Ultra also wants to make it clear where it is placed. OPPO equips it with a 6.8-inch 144 Hz screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 accompanied by a steam chamber to improve cooling and a 7,050 mAh carbon silicon battery. The company also ups the ante on charging, with 100 W wired SuperVOOC and 50 W wireless AirVOOC, and tops off the set with IP69 certification. It is a very serious technical basis for a phone that aspires to compete without complexes at the top. As we have been seeing from the beginning, the discourse of the Find X9 Ultra revolves again and again around photography. At this point, it is reasonable to look at the whole before going down to detail. And what the brand proposes is a rear system made up of four main cameras and a new True Color Camera, with which it aspires to cover everything from ultra-wide angle to long-distance optical zoom without giving up a clearly ambitious proposal. In this section there is one fact that immediately stands out: here we do not have a single 200 MP sensor, but two. The first occupies the 200 MP main camera, with 23 mm equivalent; The second appears in the 3x telephoto lens, also 200 MP and designed for portrait and distance. Added to this is a 50 MP ultra wide angle that reinforces the base of the set. And then there is the piece with which OPPO finishes stretching its proposal into unusual territory for a mobile phone. The Find X9 Ultra adds a 50 MP 10x optical telephoto lens, with a 230 mm equivalent focal length, and the brand also talks about optical quality up to 20xa figure that helps to understand how far he wants to push the scope of the set. Added to this block is a 300 mm teleconverter that reminds us of the strategy of Live with your X300 Ultra. Here’s an interesting fact: both Vivo and OPPO are part of the Chinese conglomerate BBK Electronics. The partnership with Hasselblad enters its fifth year and continues to take center stage in the product narrative, especially around Master Mode. There, one of the most striking messages they gave us was that there is no generative AI, “zero AI in Master Mode”, an idea designed for those looking for a more faithful image of what is in front of them. Added to this are options such as JPG Max and 16-bit RAW Max, clearly aimed at users who want more margin for work. The alliance with Hasselblad enters its fifth year and continues to occupy a central place in the product discourse. Although photography monopolizes almost all the focus, OPPO also wanted to extend this proposal in video and in the general user experience. The Find X9 Ultra promises 4K recording at 60 fps with Dolby Vision in all … Read more

look at the OPPO Watch X3

April 21, 2026 by usatoday24

Today is a big day for OPPO. Taking advantage of the launch of its new flagship, the Find X9 Pro, the company has presented two most interesting devices: its new OPPO Enco Clip2 headphones, and its OPPO Watch X3 smart watch. The latter is the brand’s most advanced smartwatch to date, one that lands in Spain to compete with some of the best rivals in its segment. We tell you all the specifications and features of this OPPO Watch X3, a watch whose predecessor managed to conquer us in a few daysand now it comes looking even more wonderful. OPPO Watch X3 technical sheet OPPO Watch dimensions and weight 47.70 x 47.0 x 11mm 43 grams (without strap) screen 1.5 inch LTPO AMOLED Resolution 466 x 466 pixels 310 DPI Refresh rate: 60 Hz Maximum brightness: 600 nits HBM: 1,500 nits Peak brightness: 3,000 nits 2D sapphire crystal processor Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 ram memory 2GB internal storage 32GB 4GB eMMC for RTOS Sensors Acceleration sensor Gyroscope Optical heart rate sensor Optical pulse oximetry sensor Geomagnetic sensor light sensor Barometer Temperature sensor on wrist Battery 648mAh VOOC fast charging Autonomy Up to 16 days in saving mode connectivity WiFi 2.4/5GHz Bluetooth 5.2 endurance MIL-STD-8710H 5ATM IP68 buttons Side action button rotating crown compatibility Android 9.0 or higher operating system Wear OS 6.0 with Color OS OTHERS Auto Brightness AoD mode Heart rate monitoringSleep monitoringSpO2 monitoringStress monitoring Electrocardiogram Vascular health Fall detection NotificationsMusic control More than 100 sports modes Google Play PRICE 379 euros A familiar face, with better hardware than ever The OPPO Watch X3 has a design quite similar to the one we saw in the previous generation. It stands out mainly for being finished in aerospace-grade titanium alloy, resistant to corrosion and even tighter in weight this generation: only 43 grams without strap. Specifically, it is 13.4% lighter and 6.3% thinner, without losing any of its premium finish. The screen repeats with 1.5 inches, with LTPO AMOLED technology and a noticeably higher brightness than the last generation. How much? No less than 3,000 nits of peak brightness and 1,500 nits of typical brightness. Specifications higher than many high-end mobile phones. It also improves its battery, which it repeats with the silicon-carbon but now it goes up to 646mAh. One of the main advantages of this technology is that manufacturers can increase the gross capacity of the battery without increasing the physical size of the battery. In other words, although this watch is much thinner than the previous one, it will have better autonomy. Wear OS performance accompanies. The most complex operating system is responsible for moving the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1but the OPPO Watch OnePlus Watch 2). The Snapdragon is joined by a BES2800BP, an ultra-low consumption SoC that drives an RTO system. What is this paraphernalia for? So the coprocessor can handle daily low-power operations while the performance chip handles the heavy lifting. For everyday and the most extreme use The OPPO watch is not just a pretty face, it is also an ideal health and sports accessory. It has more than 100 sports modes, integrates certified ECG function, SpO2 monitoring, general health check mode in just 60 seconds… Being a watch with WearOS, we can download Google Pay, Google Maps, and all the apps optimized for Google’s wrist operating system. Despite the careful design, it is a watch with MIL-STD-8710H grade resistance, being water resistant up to 5 ATM and withstanding both bumps and scratches (without going overboard, of course). OPPO Watch X3 price and availability The OPPO Watch X3 will be sold in Spain at a price of 379 euros, available in two colors: Misty Titanium and Obsidian Black. It can be purchased both at the official OPPO store and at the main distributors in the country. In addition, from April 21 to May 31 we can get it with an offer of 40 euros off. In case this was not enough of a discount, you will get some Enco Air4Pro as a gift.

OPPO Find N6 – Features, price and technical sheet

March 17, 2026 by usatoday24

This year is going to be one of the most important in the folding mobiles. If everything indicates that Apple will present the iPhone Foldthe rest of the brands are not lagging behind: from Motorola with its recent Motorola Razr Fold to the Honor Magic V6. And the one that concerns me, the OPPO Find N6, a mobile that I have been testing for two weeks and that I loved for an aspect that perfectly sums up its character: does not require sacrifices despite being foldable. The phone has just been presented worldwide and comes with a drawback for Europeans: OPPO is not going to distribute it here. And it’s a shame, because I think the Find N6 is the favorite for the throne of Fold-type mobiles. Above all for a characteristic that underlines the absence of sacrifices that I mentioned: his wrinkle is almost imperceptible.

The mobile has been developed with a new titanium hinge with a drop-by-drop printed polymer finish that stabilizes the flexible panel in the folding line to smooth its surface. These are the sales pitch and the technical specification. I had to check it. I have tested several folding phones and I know that the wrinkle is something that is already present on the phone even during unboxing. Although it has not yet been used, the small valley through which the fold runs is visible to sight and touch. It then deepens as the phone is used. When I opened the OPPO Find N6 I was surprised to find a practically smooth central surface. The wrinkle was not zerobut the lightest I had ever tried. And it has remained that way during these two weeks: the engineering work carried out by OPPO is impressive. The crest does not disappear completely, the “Zero Crease” thing is somewhat exaggerated. Without being able to ignore the obvious: the wrinkle is almost imperceptible, both to sight and to the touch. The wrinkle is minimally noticeable when you run your finger along the center line. When holding the phone straight there is no visible defectyes a small vertical mark when looking at the screen from the sides. The light creates a slight distortion, but not much more. It doesn’t even affect the content being played. It is very difficult to distinguish the wrinkle from the fold. From the front you can’t even see I have tested most Fold and Flip type foldables, I used the Honor Magic V6 – another of the phones that boasts a minimal folding brand -, and I can say without a doubt that the OPPO Find N6 takes the lead. trophy for best folding panel for its almost missing crest. It represents an improvement in use. It’s not a dramatic improvement, but it is notable. To the touch it is not very noticeable either. The hinge built by OPPO with a titanium base provides an extra addition to the reduction of the fold line: allows you to put the screen at almost any angle. The deployment is firm, offers resistance and does not lose position. Not everything is a screen: power counts The OPPO Find N6 has an 8.12-inch folding panel that not only reduces wrinkles to almost an anecdote, it also allows it to be viewed in all types of conditions, including outdoors. In addition, the body is as thin as it is solid: once folded it looks like an ordinary mobile phone. I have used it as such. Within the sheets of only 4.21 mm, OPPO has snuck the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. The Find N6 is well served in performance, on par with the best of this year. Without experiencing excess temperature, neither playing nor charging the phone. Because what a battery: 6,000 mAh carbon silicon They go away after two days with moderate use. Even when regularly displaying the mobile phone, with the extra energy consumption that a panel twice as large implies. It is very comfortable to use, somewhat complicated to unfold (it is so compact that it makes it difficult to put your fingers in to open the phone), it comes with the software updated to Android 16 and ColorOS 16, does not miss the opportunity to show off AI (with its dedicated button) and even includes a practical infrared emitter to use the OPPO Find N6 as an improvised remote control. The fact that it is a folding mobile phone does not detract from its capabilities, but rather adds to it. A very solid photographic set OPPO maintains the round-shaped photographic module and the collaboration with Hasselblad of the Find N5. The combination is still a triple camera, although now we have a fourth as support for color calibration in shots. This … Read more

OPPO Watch X2 Mini, analysis

February 27, 2026 by usatoday24

Wear OS left behind the obligation to charge watches every day with the enormous step forward that the OnePlus Watch 2. I was able to analyze it and was surprised by its duality: dual processor and dual operating system. OnePlus has promoted this innovation, so has OPPO. The Watch X2 Mini that I have tested is a worthy heir. Very compact, loaded with features despite being contained, with five days of autonomy and good performance in the sports record. At least for a smartwatch that is not specifically geared toward workouts. With these credentials, I have to say that the OPPO Watch X2 Mini seems like a great recommendation to me. I explain step by step why. OPPO Watch X2 Mini technical sheet OPPO Watch X2 Mini SCREEN 1.32 inch round AMOLED panel 466 x 466 pixel resolution 352 PPI Brightness from 600 to 1000 nits 2.5D Crystal DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 43.2 x 43.2 x 11mm 37.8 grams PROCESSOR Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ BES2800BP RAM 2GB STORAGE 32GB BATTERY 354mAh 6.5W magnetic charging Autonomy from 2.5 to 7 days OPERATING SYSTEM Android 14 with ColorOS Watch 7.0 RTOS Compatible with Android 10 and iOS 14 CONNECTIVITY eSIM 5G and 2.4G WiFi NFC Bluetooth 5.2 OTHERS Resistance 5 ATM and IP68 Optical heart rate and blood oxygen sensor Compass Barometer Stainless steel case PRICE 299 euros OPPO Watch The price could vary. We earn commission from these links OPPO Watch X2 Mini, our experience Design: classic and with exaggerated frames. The watch is quite small for a large wrist like mine. Even so, it does not give a reduced experience, quite the contrary: OPPO has made an effort to maximize the X2 Mini in all aspects. From its excellent stainless steel case to the hardware that beats under the 1.32-inch round screen. The watch is mini, the front shows it. Even so, the frames are thick: around 5 mm. It includes two control buttons that are enough to control anything that is beyond touch. And the back side maintains the heart sensors and a POGO connector for charging. The alignment with the charger is magnetic and said charger has a USB-C port. This way the cable, which also comes in the box, is not damaged. The OPPO Watch X2 Mini seems like the perfect watch for those looking for a complete smartwatch without feeling like they are lifting weights every time they raise their arm. He’s small, but he’s tough. And with a detail: the strap pin is the standard 18 mm. Finding compatible straps is as simple as it is cheap. Blood oxygen saturation measurement The screen shines with its own light. OPPO mounts an OLED panel that is perfectly visible outdoors, even training in sunlight. The brightness is automatic and adapts without problems to the light conditions. It is compatible with Always On, with what that entails: battery life is reduced in that mode. The screen has smoothed edges so that the edges do not interfere with gestures. It is tactile and is protected with hardened glass: I did not scratch it during the weeks of testing (miracle). The watch includes a good number of watch faces, supports video watchfaces, and is compatible with the thousands of Wear OS on Google Play. It’s impossible to get bored. Two is much more than double. When I tested the OnePlus Watch 2 I marveled at the idea of including a dual processor and dual operating system. After the evolution, the OPPO Watch For me it is the way to go in Wear OS. Smartwatch and activity bracelet chip; with software that maintains this duality: Wear OS when the watch uses apps and RTOS for the rest of the tasks. The result is an experience out of ten: the X2 Watch Mini 2 switches between the SoC and soft tandem without the user noticing anything. I have not seen it slow, the jump between sports activities is fast, the registrations are accurate, it has access to Google Play and there are no problems with NFC payments. OPPO has the recipe for the best smartwatch and knows how to cook it perfectly in the Watch X2 Mini. What do smartwatch manufacturers have against mountain biking? A good watch for amateur athletes. Although I play sports every day (or try to), I do not consider myself an athlete. Yes, I like to keep track of all the training sessions to see the evolution. I use a Garmin Epix 2 and it’s fantastic for me. Well: the OPPO Watch X2 Mini is not far behind. I have tested the watch running, walking, high intensity routines, strength training and mountain bike rides. The results have been good for a general purpose smartwatch: It supports more than 100 sports training modes. Too bad the mountain bike is not available (neither is the padel, sorry). Heart rate tracking is sufficiently accurate at low and medium heart rate. Above 150-160 I have seen a margin of error of up to 40 keystrokes. Everything compared to a chest strap connected to the Garmin. Above, OPPO Watch X2 Mini; Below, chest strap connected to Garmin. The OPPO does not register variations or very high heart rates as well. Same exercise: 6.08 km run Related to the previous point, the Watch X2 Mini follows pulse variations as long as they are not triggered by high-intensity interval exercise. In outdoor distance measurements, the positioning system remains at a very good level: the margin of error of the routes is around 50 meters per kilometer. Very quick positioning before the start of practice: less than ten seconds is usually enough. The track record has some saw teeth and may not follow the paths on the map 100% accurately. In terms of total distances, the overall result is decent. Left, Garmin GPS; right, Vivo GPS. About mountain biking practice The personal trainer is suitable for practice, the watch looks great outdoors and withstands harsh weather conditions. Also sweat. Recording height is also suitable: use the … Read more

The ecosystem is what keeps me at Apple. OPPO has proposed to burst it

November 9, 2025 by usatoday24

If the mountain does not go to Muhammad, Muhammad goes to the mountain. One of the reasons why I am an Apple user, it is because of its ecosystem. Although I have a second Android phone, there are two elements that continue to tie me to the apple: the Apple Watch (which seems irreplaceable to me) and AirDrop. The twist is that Android is turning that upside down, and OPPO with O+Connect has given me a slap of reality. If Apple is jealous about something, it is its ecosystem. Their devices work great with each other, but with Android/Windows they cut features or don’t work at all. In recent months, Chinese brands have set out to break that barrier, with Xiaomi and OPPO being the leaders when creating Android devices with “native” support of Apple devices. From OPPO they have already shown the AirPods working perfectly on an Android mobile and they have plans for the same thing to happen with the Apple Watch, and Xiaomi with HyperOS 3 allows you to use your iPad and Mac as floating windows. The theory is fine, but now I have seen first-hand that it works perfectly. And O+Connect is a missile to Apple’s AirDrop… which works even better than AirDrop. OPPO busting AirDrop OPPO has been arguing for a few years that we should be able to interconnect devices regardless of their brand and operating system. In 2022 they launched Connect to allow you to easily control and send files with Windows, but a few months ago announced the evolution: O+ Connect. This app was presented from the beginning as the tool for an OPPO device to communicate not only with a PC, but with a Mac and, also, with iOS devices. Translation: a way to transfer files between the two that emulates the operation of AirDrop. Due to technical issues, it is something that has been implemented in OPPO, OnePlus and Realme phones little by little with the latest system versionsand it basically works like this: On the iPhone/iPad, we download O+ Connect from the App Store. On the OPPO, OnePlus or Realme device, we choose the “Share” option and click on the “iPhone or PC” icon. Literally, the icon is an iPhone with its Dynamic Island and everything. The Android creates a Wi-Fi hotspot and, from the O+ Connect app, the iPhone detects that connection point. We send the files and they are transferred over that local connection. When the transfer is finished, which is very fast, the hotspot is automatically deactivated. Recently, I have had two cell phones from the group in my hands. First, the Realme GT8 Pro with which I went to China to take photosand a few days ago the OPPO Find X9 Pro for analysis. With both I have used this function a lot – a lot – to transfer photos to both the iPhone (from where I upload them to Instagram) and the iMac (because it also works on macOS), and the experience has been fantastic. I share a lot with AirDrop and it usually works well, but there are many times where either the transfer fails or it doesn’t set up in the first place, having to turn AirDrop off, turn it back on, and repeat the process. It’s a bit tedious, but my experience with both the OPPO and the Realme has been spectacular. Not a single mistake, good transfer speeds (even scrolling through very heavy photos and videos) and, in general, a very good experience. I think it’s not as fast as the native AirDrop feature, but set to burst the ecosystemI consider AirDrop and full support for AirPods to be very good touchstones. As I said at the beginning, that ecosystem is the only thing that keeps me in the apple brand, and the moment I can use my Apple Watch Series 10 on a mobile phone with the photographic capabilities of a Xiaomi 17 Profrom a Vivo X300 Pro or the OPPO Find X9 Pro itself, it is more than likely that I will return to Android as my main system.
