She added:” The Middle East and Africa smartphone market is key to any business, especially the mobile industry. Today we are proud to launch our latest state-of-the-art flagship in Dubai which has carved a name for itself for being a futuristic city”

Discovering the ultra-look: Panoramic and unified design

With panoramic design, Find X forges a new path. The elegant look and feel express the “beauty of nature” combining serenity and vitality. Find X achieves a refined silhouette thanks to the hole-less front and rear design as well as smoothly inlaid 3D glass on the edge. Find X is graceful to look at while being comfortable in your hand.

Find X introduces the unique and beautiful Panoramic Arc Screen, an all-screen display with no compromises. OPPO uses COP flexible screen packing technology in the Find X bringing the visual screen ratio to 93.8%. With the front almost all-screen, Find X and its panoramic screen bring the user an unprecedented visual experience.

Find X has two gradient colour combinations — Bordeaux Red and Glacier Blue. The Multifaceted Color Process used by OPPO realizes a perfect blend of gradient design with a 3D arc on the rear. In the light, Find X shines like crystal and flowing water, presenting a colourful effect that changes with your surroundings.

Exploring delicacy: Stealth 3D Cameras

The Find X uses an innovative sliding structure that completely disguises the cameras within the body of the phone. When not in use, the cameras are hidden, providing a sleek and uniform exterior. When activated, the camera opens automatically for unlocking and photographing. This up-and-down gives the product movement, a natural and highly functional design. OPPO’s product team has carried out strict testing on the sliding structure, as it can sense the falling distance and get hidden within the phone, which balances the design and durability.

The stealth 3D cameras not only include the 25-megapixel front camera and 20MP+16MP dual rear cameras, but also a 3D Structured light module with many high-tech components. Flood illuminator, Infrared camera, proximity sensor, Dot projector, Receiver and RGB camera are integrated into this unit. The 3D structured light module in Find X can project 15,000 dots, building a precise and complete 3D module of a user’s face, and then compares with the registered face of the owner to unlock.

The 3D Face recognition has a higher level of security than fingerprint identification. The false acceptance rate of fingerprint recognition is 1/50,000, while the false acceptance rate of 3D Face Recognition is 1/1,000,000, developed by OPPO, not only makes unlocking safer but also more convenient while offering support for mobile payment. OPPO has already made it possible to pay with 3D Face Recognition by integrating Alibaba’s Alipay, making Find X the first Android phone to support payment through face recognition.

Redefining the real beauty: Breakthrough from 2D to 3D

Powered by 3D structured light, OPPO Find X makes further progress in photography. With high-precision facial data captured and complemented by the 25MP front-facing camera, Find X introduces 3D Smart Selfie Capture. Find X creates a 3D model of the user’s face using 3D Recognition with millimetre-level accuracy. Based on the resulting 3D model, AI technology intelligently analyzes facial characteristics such as face shapes and features, providing suggestions to make faces look more natural and realistic.

In addition, precise face recognition enables Find X to simulate various lighting effects on a human face, so portraiture lighting is enabled even for a selfie. Various lighting effects are supported including; feature light highlighting the contour of the human face, bi-colour light that simulates the classic red-blue colour of neon, and rim light that brightens the skin colour and makes the contour more vivid. Portraiture lighting makes your selfies more beautiful and artistic.

Aside from 3D Smart Selfie Capture, 3D recognition also has another interesting function–3D Omoji. You can choose any interesting images to make Omojis or generate your cartoon avatar, and then create a video or GIF Emojis. Now, you can use them in any chat app and chat with friends using your own Omojis.

OPPO Find X also provides the solution for backlight photography. The real-time pixel-level graded exposure technology, Sensor HDR 2.0, makes the subject and background more distinct when taking a selfie. This technology maintains the preview effect simultaneously with the final image meaning what you see is what you get.

Moreover, OPPO Find X makes it easier to take high-quality photos. With the assistance of AI Scene Recognition, it intelligently identifies scenes and objects while optimizing the image. It supports over 20 scenarios of photography and over 800 scenario combinations including snow, food, pets, and so on.

AI enhanced platform

OPPO is always exploring how to use AI to improve the user experience. Based on Android 8.1, Find X is deeply integrated with the Qualcomm® AI Engine in the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 845 Mobile Platform. The AI capability of this arrangement helps the software understand user needs better than ever before.

As the third generation of Qualcomm AI Engine, Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform is engineered with forward-looking features, including camera, gaming, an intelligent personal assistant and advanced vault-like security. With the brand-new Qualcomm® Hexagon™ 685 DSP, enhanced Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU and Qualcomm® Adreno™ GPU, Snapdragon 845 is stronger, faster and smarter than its predecessor.
