Oppo announces successor Find X in two weeks

The Chinese smartphone maker Oppo will present the successor to its Find X smartphone from 2018 in just over two weeks at its own event in Barcelona, ​​ahead of the Mobile World Congress telecom fair.

Oppo has planned an event for Saturday afternoon, February 22, and has included the name of the new phone in the invitation: Find X2. It had been clear for some time that the Chinese manufacturer would present a successor to the Find X this year, but it was still unknown when it would be.

It will be one of the first phones with a Snapdragon 865. Find is the name of Oppo’s series of high-end phones focused on the use of new technologies. For example, the Find X was one of the first phones with a pop-up camera, a technique that came back in many smartphones last year.

There have been rumors about the Find X2 for a few months now. For example, the phone may have an OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Also, the phone may have a periscopic camera on the back for zooming, just like last year’s Oppo Reno 10X Zoom.

The Find X was the first Oppo phone in years to be released in the Benelux in September 2018. Last year, the Chinese manufacturer, which shares suppliers and R&D with brands such as OnePlus and Realme, among other things, released many more models in the Benelux.
