Oppo takes on the true edge-to-edge smartphone display with the Find X-- a motorised mechanism slides the backside to reveal a 25MP front-facing camera and a rear-facing dual-camera array.

Oppo Find XAs a bezel-free flagship device the Find X lacks buttons or a fingerprint button. Instead, it uses the sliding mechanism to reveal the camera in order face unlock the device via iPhone X-style infrared depth detection. Dubbed "O-Face," the system promises to work in nearly all lighting conditions and allows for portrait lighting effects and "Omoji," the Oppo take on Animoji.

Sliding mechanism aside, the Find X is a typical high-end smartphone. It has a 6.4-inch 1920 x 1080 resolution display, and inside are a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage and a 3730mAh battery with quick-charge capability. The rear-facing cameras are 20 and 16MP, and offer depth-of-field effects and AI-based scene recognition. Charging comes through USB-C, and the device lacks the humble 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Find X is the first Oppo smartphone to officially make it to Europe market on August 2018. It will also be available in a special Automobili Lamborghini edition with a carbon fibre effect, raging bull logo on the back and a 10V 50W SuperVOOC adapter able to fully charge the battery in 35 minutes.
