In In that location will be Blood, protagonist Daniel Plainview alleged "I drink your milkshake!" in reference to effectively stealing the oil from another person'due south land. Well, that'southward what I experience the Oppo Observe X3 Pro is aiming to practise to Samsung flagship phones.

With the Oppo Observe X2 Pro, Chinese smartphone maker Oppo made a stellar debut into the U.K.'s flagship Android loonshit. And at present the Notice X3 Pro looks set up to build upon those foundations and take on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, among other best Android phones.

With access to the Snapdragon 888, improved cameras, and a striking design, the Oppo Detect X3 Pro is a proper high-cease telephone that makes few compromises to take on the all-time Apple and Samsung have to offer. And then come we me for this Oppo Discover X3 Pro review, as I tell you the tale of why you should consider this phone if you're looking for a premium device.

Editor'south note: it's looking likely that the Find X3 Pro will exist shortly replaced by the Oppo Find X5 Pro .

Oppo Observe X3 Pro review: Release engagement and price

When it goes on sale in the U.One thousand. on April 14, the Oppo Find X3 Pro will fix you back £1,099. That's far from cheap and puts the X3 Pro in the same cost range every bit the iPhone 12 Pro Max ($ane,099 in the U.S and £i,099 in the UK). But Apple tree will just give you 128GB of storage space for the money, while Oppo offers the Find X3 Pro with 256GB.

There's no 512GB option for the Find X3 Pro, and that seems like a stage step down from the Find X2 Pro. While that phone as well cost the same amount at launch, it had double the storage.

Still, the X3 Pro undercuts the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which starts at a hefty £1,149 for the 128GB model in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. (It'south $1,199 for U.South. shoppers.) I won't call the X3 Pro a bargain, but it's definitely competitively priced for this kind of flagship phone, given it has a suite of specs to trade blows with some of the best phones around.

As Oppo shares a manufacturing line with OnePlus, there's an argument that the biggest rival the Observe X3 Pro could confront will come from its sibling brand. The OnePlus 9 is set to make its debut on March 23. And given the OnePlus 8 Pro undercut the Find X2 Pro, at a starting cost of £799, however provided an impressive specs sheet, the rumored OnePlus 9 Pro could do the same; time will tell on this.

Unfortunately, for people on the wrong side of the Atlantic sea, the Find X3 Pro isn't coming to the U.S, at least not at launch. Oppo could change its mind if the X3 Pro garners attention on Britain'south shores.

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is rumored to succeed the Notice X3 Pro this yr, and it's slated to have a neat design and powerful specs.

Oppo Find X3 Pro review: Design

I adore the vegan leather back on the Find X2 Pro, as its textured finish made the large telephone and its curved display feel less likely to sideslip out of my easily and nuance itself upon the flooring. Sadly, the Find X3 Pro has no such coating. Rather Oppo has gone for a unibody design, with a shiny Gloss Black and Gloss Blue colour options.

This means the phone feels slippier to use and sucks upwards fingerprints similar an overly eager CSI intern. But this is compensated for with dimensions of 163.6 x 74.0 x 8.26mm and a weight of 193g, making X3 Pro is slimmer and lighter than its predecessor. The sides of the X3 Pro'southward display are less curved as well, meaning the telephone is overall easier to hold despite its six.7-inch display.

The choice for this glass unibody becomes apparent when you flip the phone over. Rather than sit lone in its ain housing, the camera module is covered by the unibody chassis. This has the outcome of seamlessly integrating the camera array into the phone's back and minimizing the amount of edges and groves that could trap dust and debris.

In promotional photos, the design looks intriguing but a fiddling clumsy. But I'grand happy to report that in the flesh — or Gorilla Drinking glass six — the Find X3 Pro's camera module is very attractive. Information technology won't prevarication flat, equally the camera module (which looks rather similar to the iPhone 12 Pro's rear array) is still very much a bump. But it'south a rather neat scrap of industrial design that'southward upward there with the contrasting Contour Cut camera module on the Samsung Galaxy S21.

The shiny finish is super cogitating and difficult to capture neatly on camera, but I think the Notice X3 Pro looks rather impressive. And it'southward nice to see Oppo go on to push phone design rather than rest on its laurels after the Discover X2 Pro.

While the contrasting green stripe on the power button is a groovy bear upon, the X3 Pro doesn't have as many grooves as the X2 Pro, nor does it have the shaper oblong-shaped SIM card slot, which felt like extravagant design for no reason. I slightly miss the almost over-the-summit design of the X2 Pro, only there's no doubt the X3 Pro unibody arroyo is more refined.

Aside from that, it's business as usual, with a USB-C port for charging and accessories, Dolby Atmos-calibrated stereo speakers that deliver some rather impressive audio for phone speakers, and IP68 water and grit resistance. One advantage of this unibody approach is that the glass construction of the Find X3 Pro tin support wireless charging, something that was disappointingly absent in the X2 Pro.

Oppo Notice X3 Pro review: Display

Development is the proper noun of the game here, as the Oppo Notice X3 Pro's display is rather like to X2 Pro'south screen. Sporting a half dozen.vii-inch, x-bit color console with a QHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh charge per unit, the Oppo Discover X3 Pro doesn't seem to offer anything new, at least at first glance.

The new phone'southward a little sharper with a 525 pixel-per-inch density over the X2 Pro's 513 ppi, and pinnacle brightness hits 1,300 nits confronting ane,200. However, dig a little deeper and things go interesting.

The biggest change is the dynamic refresh rate thanks to an LTPO panel, pregnant the brandish tin drop from 120Hz to 5Hz when a high refresh rate isn't needed and thus save on battery. That beats the LTPO panel in the Milky way S21 Ultra, which can only drop downward to 10Hz.

The 2d upgrade is support for true 10-scrap color depth, meaning the X3 Pro's display can showcase a billion colors. While the Find X2 Pro comes advertised with a 10-scrap panel, information technology's not really a native ten-chip display. Rather information technology uses an 8-flake panel that mimics a 10-bit output. Just with a "Full-path Color Management Organization,'' the Notice X3 Pro can snap x-scrap photos and then display them natively. You can't do this on the Observe X2 Pro.

In practice, the X3 Pro's display is very similar to the X2 Pro'southward, which is no bad matter every bit colors are rich, contrast is groovy, and there's HDR10+ back up. Viewing a x-bit photo on the X3 Pro against a normal photo captured on the phone's rear camera system, there was very little difference between them. The x-flake photo had peradventure a tiny bit more color to my eyes, only the divergence was barely there.

In its default "Vivid" mode, the X3 Pro'southward brandish covers 172.6% of the sRGB and 122.3% of the DCI-P3 colour gamuts. And it kicked out a Delta-Eastward of 0.33. Those are impressive figures, and the Discover X3 Pro trounces the likes of both the Milky way S21 Ultra (81.4%) and iPhone 12 Pro Max (84.8%) in terms of colour coverage. Apple tree's handset wins on color accuracy though, with a Delta-E of 0.07. (Numbers closer to zero are more than accurate.)

In real-earth use, though, the X3 Pro'southward display is a joy to use. It's fantastic for videos — peculiarly when put into the phone'south DCI-P3 "Cinematic" mode — every bit well as games and pretty much everything else. I'd argue the X3 Pro has i of the all-time displays on whatsoever smartphone, certainly upwardly there with the finest from Samsung. Just don't expect it to be a huge step upwards from the X2 Pro.

Oppo Find X3 Pro review: Cameras

Sitting in the unibody-integrated rear module is the Oppo Notice X3 Pro's quartet of cameras, comprising a 50MP main lens with a Sony IMX766 sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with the same Sony sensor, a 13MP periscope telephoto camera, and a 3MP microlens.

Starting with the main lens, information technology comes with optical image stabilization and a f/1.8 aperture, slightly narrower than the Detect X2's f/1.seven discontinuity, simply that photographic camera only has a 48MP lens. Every bit such, the Find X3 Pro tends to capture slightly crisper photos, not that the X2 Pro'southward main shots were lacking in detail. The X3 Pro also tends to evangelize slightly cooler yet more colour-saturated photos, while the X2 Pro is warmer simply errs more than toward a less vivid palette.

Thankfully, the X3 Pro doesn't oversaturate in the way the Galaxy S21 can, though information technology can't quite evangelize the truthful-to-life colors of the iPhone 12 or Pixel 5.

Have the image below as an case shot by both the Oppo Detect X3 Pro and a Google Pixel 5. While both phones handle this relatively busy scene well, the Pixel 5 offers colors that are closer to what I was seeing, likewise equally greater dynamic range that helps option out details in the shadows.

However, in some shots, the Find X3 Pro comes out on top. Take the photo of some gorse below. The iPhone 12 shot serves upward a better yellow hue on the flowers, only blows out the sky in the background. The X3 Pro might not get the colors spot on, but delivers a better photograph overall.

And the Find X3 Pro could merchandise blows with some of the best photographic camera phones all twenty-four hours long. The Oppo phone produces a brighter and more vibrant prototype, simply the Pixel 5 offers a greater dynamic range and a more textured photo in my opinion.

When the sunday goes down it's fourth dimension for the Detect X3 Pro's night mode. It serves upwardly a cleaner and more color-accurate night mode shot than the X2 Pro, though some might prefer the latter'southward warmer color tones.

Just in comparison to the Pixel 5's Night Sight mode, the X3 Pro lags behind; I'd put it on par with the Galaxy S21. That'southward far from bad simply not quite upward in that location with Google and Apple'due south low-low-cal epitome processing, which continues to fix the standard when the lights go down.

While nosotros are on the discipline of image processing, portrait manner on the rear camera is 1 area where some smartphones tin can stumble. Thankfully the Detect X3 Pro doesn't.

On yet objects, the Oppo Observe X3 Pro does an first-class task artfully blurring backgrounds while keeping the bailiwick and foreground prissy and clear, a little more than then than its predecessor. And it delivers a more than pleasing portrait pic than the Pixel v, which tin can be a flake overzealous with its tight groundwork blurring.

The portrait shot of my friend Tris below is rather impressive, with the X3 Pro not running into problems with over-smoothing his skin or shifting the color tone. However, information technology struggled at picking out the left-mitt border of his glasses against the water. The Pixel 5 ran into this problem too. But the iPhone 12 didn't and continues to set a very high standard for portrait shots. Switch off X3 Pro's portrait fashion, and standard rear photographic camera shots of people remain at flagship quality.

Oppo has paid particular attending to ultra-wide angle shots with the Observe X3 Pro — that'south why it put the 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor into what's a 110-degree secondary camera. Oppo said this came down to people's appetite for wider shots and to ensure colour consistency across the cameras. Turns out this was a good movement.

There'southward no meaning color shift between the wide angle and ultra wide cameras, unlike the perceivable change in tone when swapping between Discover X2 Pro's cameras. Furthermore, the X3 Pro delivers crisper ultra-broad shots compared to the X2 Pro, though you'll need to zoom in to really spot the divergence.

While I similar the wide-angle shots the Pixel 5 captures, the X3 Pro fits more into the frame and also picks out more than details. Compared confronting the Galaxy S21, which sports a 120-caste field of view, the X3 Pro just barely offers a sharper prototype in the photos below — look carefully at the building in the background and bricks in the wall.

Ane surface area where Oppo has seemingly downgraded from the X2 Pro is with the Observe X3 Pro's telephoto photographic camera. Both Oppo flagships have 13MP cameras. But the X2 Pro offers a 5x optical zoom and a max 60x digital zoom, whereas the newer telephone comes with a 5x hybrid zoom and a maximum of 20x digital zoom.

But in that location's some nuance here. The X3 Pro's lens offers a 2x optical zoom, whereas the X2 Pro is digital until it hits 5x. As a result, photos at 2x zoom are clearer on the X3 Pro, whereas the X2 Pro has the border at 5x.

If you look closely at the photograph of the reeds snapped at 5x zoom, y'all can come across the Find X2 Pro'due south shot is the clearest, thanks to the extra optical range. But the X3 Pro's prototype is brighter, and that's thank you to it having a wider f/ii.4 aperture compared to the f/3.0 of its predecessor's telephoto photographic camera. As such, the X3 Pro's zoomed shots let in more light and deliver better colors.

Push into 10x hybrid zoom and the story is the aforementioned. The X2 Pro delivers clearer images once you really expect advisedly, but the X3 Pro offers more brightness and colour, likewise equally being easier to get a zoom shot every bit the sensor seems to notice less wobble from my easily.

Much beyond this is a scrap pointless, with 20x being a bit of a mess and the 60x zoom of the Find X2 Pro also being more of a marketing snippet than a useable camera characteristic. If you want extreme zooms, then you need to expect towards the Galaxy S21 series.

Flip the Oppo Find X3 Pro over and you've got the aforementioned 32MP dial-hole selfie camera in the left-hand corner of the display that its predecessor featured. Fortunately, the Find X3 Pro appears to accept slightly boosted how its software compiles selfie photos.

Portrait fashion on the X3 Pro renders better skin tones than the X2 Pro. But compared to the iPhone 12, I feel the Apple'southward phone has the edge. In the shot of my styled-past-lockdown visage, the iPhone 12 captures a wider range of color tones helped by the low-cal illuminating my desperate need for a shave. While I'm impressed with the Find X3 Pro's restraint on prototype processing, I feel the iPhone 12's handling of colour and light delivers a shot that has more dynamic depth.

The final part of the camera setup comes in the form of the Find X3 Pro's 3MP stock-still-focus microscope lens. This has been designed to get across macro cameras and actually capture the microscopic details in a photograph. When placed confronting textile you can capture a shot of the weaved threads. And information technology can exist used to see what goes on in the grooves of a tree stump.

Oppo Find X3 Pro — (Image credit: Tom'southward Guide)

It's more interesting to use than a macro lens or the weird monochrome camera on the likes of the OnePlus 8T. But it's tricky to go a good shot with the X3 Pro's microscope lens. You lot demand a very steady hand to get a photo that's roughly in focus. Ideally you demand to let in some light and so y'all have to hold one or two millimeters above what you're trying to shoot, which is comically difficult unless you have an uncanny power to be still; I practice non.

At all-time the microscope lens is a fun thing to use. At worst it's some other gimmick that Oppo could accept dropped to shave downwardly the X3 Pro'south cost appeal. I don't begrudge its inclusion in the camera setup, but I'd rather have a secondary telephoto lens like the Galaxy S21 Ultra has.

Despite this weird fourth lens, the Discover X3 Pro puts in a truly impressive smartphone photography performance. It can stand up up against some of the best telephone cameras around. And while I experience the iPhone 12 range and Pixel v might have it beaten in some shots, there's no dubiety Oppo has a high-end camera array in the X3 Pro.

Oppo Find X3 Pro review: Video

Video is comprehensive on the Oppo Find X3 Pro working across the main, ultra-wide and telephoto cameras, with up to 5x hybrid zoom supported. You'll notice 4K at lx fps on offer too every bit a rather effective super steady mode that'due south capped at 1080p and 60 fps. That's all fairly standard stuff, but there are some cracking extras.

The first is a bokeh video effect that's basically a portrait way for video. Information technology works rather well, though it'south something nosotros've seen on the Galaxy S21.

A "Cinematic" video mode gives you 4K video with HDR and more than manual control. It'due south a neat feature that'southward nice to have and should accept reward of the X3 Pro's ten-bit capture. Simply you'll demand to get familiar with it to take reward of the features.

Another keen impact the X3 Pro is the AI Highlight Video option that can smartly detect the type of scene you're shooting and configure the capture accordingly, such as switching on the night mode or applying HDR.

All these features are interesting, simply in standard indicate-and-shoot video, the X3 Pro can't quite striking the loftier points of the iPhone 12. Apple's telephone delivers a smoother and easier-to-utilize video experience, while the X3 Pro can struggle with progressive focus when panning a camera and transitioning from one scene to another.

Meanwhile, the wide range of video options in the Galaxy S21 range, including shooting 8K video and 120 fps capture, leaves the Find X3 backside. Still, Oppo'southward phone puts in a very capable video operation, though it just doesn't impress me equally much as it does on the still photography side.

Oppo Observe X3 Pro review: Performance

Unsurprisingly, the Oppo Observe X3 Pro comes with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. And equally unsurprising is the super-fast performance the chipset delivers.

The chip is matched with 12GB of RAM meaning it'll chew through pretty much anything you can throw at information technology. The X3 Pro handled games like Phone call of Duty Mobile at max settings and a polish frame charge per unit to aid tap into the 120Hz refresh rate. There was aught I found that brought the phone to its knees. Granted, an Galaxy S21 Ultra can be specced with 16GB of RAM, but I feel that'southward overkill.

In terms of benchmarks, the Find X3 Pro delivered a unmarried-core score of 934 and a multi-core score of three,337 in Geekbench 5. That's a strong result, though not really a big step up from the Find X2 Pro.

The result lags backside the Galaxy S21 Ultra with its Snapdragon 888. And the mighty A14 Bionic in the iPhone 12 Pro Max continues to dominate with i,600 and four,100 in the single and multi-core Geekbench five tests respectively.

In our graphics test, the Notice X3 Pro hitting a frame charge per unit of 34 frames per second in 3DMark's Wild Life benchmark. That's on par with the S21 Ultra just behind the iPhone 12 Pro Max and its 41 FPS issue.

When it came to the Adobe Premier Blitz 4K video transcoding exam, the X3 Pro managed to catechumen a short 4K video clip to 1080p in 1 minute and ix seconds in its best result. Other tests dropped the average time downwards to 1 infinitesimal and 55 seconds. As a upshot, the Oppo Discover X3 Pro is beaten past the Milky way S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max, with the latter telephone chewing through the test in 28 seconds.

But in reality, benchmarks don't really matter a great deal when information technology comes to actually using a telephone. And the Observe X3 Pro simply flew through everything.

Thanks to what appears to have been a lot of optimization and a reasonably light smattering of software on top of Android 11, the Find X3 Pro feels very fast to utilise.

Combine the 120Hz refresh rate with the app animation speed set to "Fast" and you've got a handset that'south snappier than the Galaxy S21 and equally responsive as the all-time OnePlus phones, which have long been Android speed demons.

The merely real wing in the ointment, is the Notice X3 Pro doesn't really feel much faster than its predecessor. Using the two side-by-side and the experience of flitting through apps and menus feels equally responsive.

Oppo Find X3 Pro review: Battery life and charging

With a 4,500 mAh battery the Oppo Detect X3 Pro has an extra 240 mAh over its predecessor. In our battery rundown exam, which involves continuous web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness over 5G, the X3 Pro managed 9 hours and 59 minutes before giving up the electrical ghost.

That's most an hr less than the iPhone 12 Pro Max's 10 hours and 53 minutes, only Cupertino's handset is express to 60Hz refresh rate. A more apt comparison would be to the Galaxy S21 Ultra with its 120Hz LTPO panel; Samsung'southward handset lasted 10 hours and seven minutes in its adaptive mode, just it has a v,000 mAH battery. (Plow off adaptive mode, and the S21 Ultra lasts 11 hours and 25 minutes.)

Where the Observe X3 Pro plays an ace carte du jour is with its charging speed. Making use of Oppo'southward 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 and a dual-prison cell battery pattern, the X3 Pro will fill upwardly from empty to xl% capacity in simply ten minutes. It'due south basically one of the fastest charging phones around.

And Oppo's flagship now has 30W AirVOOC charging, something the X2 Pro lacked. That means the Observe X3 Pro will accuse to full in lxxx minutes on a compatible wireless charger. It volition likewise work with less powerful wireless chargers.

Completing the charging bundle and pushing the X3 Pro into firm flagship territory is support for 10W reverse charging. And dissimilar the flagship Apple and Samsung phones, Oppo puts a charger into the Find X3 Pro's box.

Oppo Find X3 Pro review: Software

ColorOS has become one of my favorite user interfaces added onto Android. Information technology'due south relatively unfussy in the vein of OnePlus' OxygenOS. But information technology also allows for a lot of customization and extra features to be toggled, without getting in the way of things, like Samsung's OneUI tin can do at times.

ColorOS 11.2 retains the all-time bits of Android 11 and lightly adds to it, while streamlining the UI over its predecessor. For example, Oppo has ditched the Opera browser the X2 Pro came with out of the box, and a swipe left on the home screen now serves upwards the Google app rather than the Oppo Smart Assistant. That'southward a neat touch, as the Google app offers a much richer vein of information, whereas I establish the Smart Banana to be lacking.

Oppo has added features in the class of more customization options, notably the ability to tune the dark mode and the E'er On display to your taste. There's also a redesigned Oppo Relax app, if existence told how to chill out past your phone is your cup of tea. And at some point, ringtones made in conjunction with Hanz Zimmer will be rolled out to the Find X3 Pro, though they weren't available to listen to at the time of writing.

ColorOS 11.2 builds upon the security features of Android 11 by offering more privacy controls, such as beingness able to create a carve up arrangement to keep your apps and information apart from the original system and locked behind a countersign of fingerprint. Speaking of which, the in-display fingerprint sensor is very responsive, but information technology sits a piffling lower than it did on the Find X2 Pro; I preferred the latter's scanner position, but I before long got used to the X3 Pro's sensor.

In that location are also visual enhancements for video content provided by the Q1 Ultra Vision Engine. It can either sharpen the resolution of videos or enhance standard dynamic range videos into HDR. While it's far from essential, it'due south a prissy-to-have feature and is improve than the Find X2 Pro'southward have, which tends to boost video movement to 60 fps, lending a slight soap opera expect to movies and TV series design for a lower frame rate.

And finally, there's the Game Space app that allows yous to customize your gaming experience on the Discover X3 Pro. It's similar to the X2 Pro's app, only with a few extra options for tweaking functioning profiles.

In short, there's a lot of customization and relatively powerful features sitting behind ColorOS' rather neat interface.

Oppo Find X3 Pro review: Verdict

As it stands in that location are just two real flagship telephone contenders, Samsung and Apple, now that HTC is out of the smartphone game and LG hasn't fabricated a compelling high-end Android telephone in a while. iPhone fans are not likely to be swayed past the Observe X3 Pro. But Oppo's latest flagship could be a serious rival to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which has been pretty much sitting at the top of the Android flagship colina without any real contest, until now.

GIven that information technology undercuts the Galaxy S21 Ultra yet notwithstanding delivers a premium "big phone" experience with impressive cameras and performance, the Find X3 Pro is what I'd consider to be a true Android flagship contender.

Even so if you lot have a Find X2 Pro, then you can skip the X3 Pro. While this new model is a improve phone than its predecessor, in that location'due south non quite enough to warrant an upgrade. Furthermore, it could be worth seeing what the rumored OnePlus 9 Pro has to offering when it'southward revealed on March 23.

Only if you want a serious Android flagship right now, and then you really need to consider the Oppo Detect X3 Pro. And if you're reading this from Samsung HQ, take the X3 Pro every bit a warning shot that Oppo is gunning for the Android smartphone crown.
