THE SLIDE OF YOUR LIFE OPPO FIND X

We’ve all got hidden talents. You, sir, with the haircut, that thing you can do with your elbows is spectacular. You should do it more often. And you, madam, wearing that snazzy hat, don’t be ashamed of your weirdly flexible nostrils – they’ll come in useful one day. Oppo’s Find X is no different. With phone designers now banishing almost everything except the screen from their devices, but users demanding things like multiple camera lenses and fingerprint scanners, these talents have to be hidden away somewhere else. Vaguely reminiscent of the old slider phones that used to hide their keypads behind the screen, the Find X’s sandwich design means a portion at the top slides upwards on demand to reveal both front and back cameras. And what cameras they are: 25MP on the front, complete with 3D ‘structured light’ tech that enables face unlocking, plus a 20MP and 16MP duo on the back that’s boosted by AI scene recognition. The slide action is motorised but takes less than a second, so the only reason you’ll miss the shot is your lack of talent – hidden or otherwise.
