The future of smartphone design is bright once again all thanks to the OPPO Find X, which was unveiled during the wee Malaysian hours, while it is still too early to tell if the phone’s design with motorized camera modules will be successful, it is sure to have captured the spotlight and shine over other flagship Android phones. OPPO’s announcement of the Find X’s price at €999 isn’t surprising, which officially marks the company’s entry point to Apple’s and Samsung’s turf, and I’m totally OK with that and would so willing pay for the price to own the Find X simply for it’s gimmick. But one thing for sure, OPPO has one thing to fix before convincing customers like me to buy.
This thing is called ColorOS.
In fact, I would think that it’s time that the software team at OPPO start offering a real Android experience on their phones, given the fact that I’m going to spend that much for a flagship device that finally doesn’t look like an iPhone copy, give me a software experience that doesn’t look like one too to make a difference. While I admit this could probably be my problem with the Find X, I’m still nonetheless excited with what OPPO has to offer on the table, but I really wished that OPPO can finally step out of the shadows of copying others with their flagship device, and it has certainly come a long way with the Find X’s innovative design, which I’m sure will be the next role model for many Android phone makers in building bezel-less smartphones.
