Oppo's Find X Flagship Smartphone, Priced at Rs. 59,999 Fails at Simple Bend Test

Oppo Find X, a flagship product with a motorised camera from the Chinese smartphone making company was launched in the domestic market earlier this month. Introduced at a price tag of Rs. 59,990, the company has already started taking pre-orders for the flagship device exclusively at Flipkart. The handset comes without a notch and motorised camera. The Oppo Find X handset competes against OnePlus 6, Samsung Galaxy S9+, Apple iPhone X, Huawei P20 Pro and others in the flagship segment.

Touted for its beauty as well as design, the smartphone was put on rigorous tests by a tech YouTuber on his channel - JerryRigEverything. Though passing all the difficult tests, the recently launched Find X not only failed to impress the YouTuber but also was unable to survive the bend test. Oppo Find X Smartphone Pre-Order Sale Live on Flipkart; Price, Features, Specifications & Offers.

The smartphone was put through various tests like the scratch test, burn test and bend test. Moreover, the tech blogger did not attempt the waterproof test as he believed that moving parts mean the phone is not waterproof. After surviving all these tests, Oppo Find X gave up during the bend test as the rear glass cracked followed by the front. Moreover, the display screen received significant disfigurements that were beyond repairs. However, the touchscreen and motorised camera worked seemingly. In the end, the blogger said the company should be focusing more on durability.

Coming to the specs, the smartphone comes with a 6.45-inch AMOLED display (1080x2340p), 845 Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, 3730mAh battery with VOOC fast charging, motorised rear camera with 16MP & 20MP sensors, 25MP front snapper with AI, Color OS 5.1 based on Android 8.1, Gorilla Glass 5 and much more.
