  • - Hey, guys, this is Austin

  • and today I have something very, very special.

  • This is the OPPO Find X and not only

  • were they awesome enough to sponsor this video,

  • but they also hooked us up with an early unit

  • before it's actually even been announced.

  • What's really cool with this guy

  • is not only does it ship with a bezel-less design,

  • but on top of that, it's got some features

  • that I've never even seen on another phone before.

  • I'm also really excited 'cause this has been

  • sitting on my desk all morning

  • and I have not opened it up yet.

  • Ooh.

  • Dude, look at that purple finish.

  • So it's on the edges but it sort of tapers off

  • into black in the middle, wow.

  • Now, technically this color is known

  • as Bordeaux Red although I've got to say,

  • pretty sure it's purple.

  • Just throwing that one out there.

  • It's pretty purple.

  • Did you just see that?!

  • Wait.

  • Wait.

  • Wait!

  • Wait, what? Hold on, I got to do that again.

  • That is so insane, look at that camera!

  • So the whole top of the phone pops out!

  • So, part of the reason that they're actually able

  • to make a bezel-less display is

  • 'cause the camera is fully hidden.

  • I mean, look at that!

  • So not only is the front-facing camera going to be hidden,

  • but you're also going to be able

  • to get your dual rear-facing cameras.

  • That is--

  • (slams on desk)

  • This is the future, I cannot believe how cool this is.

  • I mean it looks awesome,

  • the screen is really nice, we've basically got no bezel

  • but there's no real tray off there.

  • I'm sorry, I'm too excited right now,

  • I'll bring it back a notch.

  • Get it? Bring it back a notch?

  • 'Cause there's no notch?

  • So I knew a little bit about this phone

  • but I purposely wanted to sort of save it for the video.

  • And I knew there was going to be some kind of pop-out camera

  • but the idea that the entire front of the phone

  • pops in and comes back down, I mean, look at that.

  • That's insane.

  • Alright, okay, I know I need to calm down.

  • But, I mean, it's the whole package.

  • It's even got the curved AMOLED display,

  • there's no bezel, the camera, the killer color.

  • It's really hard.

  • It's really hard for me to take this seriously right now.

  • It's so cool.

  • I mean, I legitimately did not expect this

  • to be a thing that you could buy in 2018.

  • I mean, sure, as sort of the future

  • gets closer and closer, as screen tech gets better,

  • there's a lot of interesting ideas,

  • but the fact that this is going to be a phone

  • that you can buy very, very soon.

  • I don't think I've ever touched a piece of hardware

  • that has gotten me this excited about a phone.

  • Straight-up, I have never been this amped

  • to try any kind of phone hardware.

  • I feel like things have gotten so stale,

  • so boring these days,

  • that this is something that's so different.

  • I mean, it's not only just the notch.

  • I mean, I'm not a huge fan of the notch,

  • but I can kind of live with it,

  • but the fact that you've got a fully bezel-less display.

  • I mean, if I unlock it here

  • and use my super cool Face Unlock,

  • you'll see that there's gonna be

  • a tiny, tiny little bit of bezel on bottom

  • and basically nothing at the top and sides.

  • But I mean, that's so close,

  • I don't even think it counts as a chin.

  • Jimmy. - Yes.

  • Oh, so I saw it in the box, off, but I didn't see the back.

  • - Don't you like that finish?

  • - That's awesome.

  • So this is like what they wanted,

  • oh, what the heck?

  • - I knew it, I knew it!

  • - Wait.

  • What? That is so weird!

  • It has a little noise and everything?

  • - Next victim.

  • This is the Find X.

  • - Alrighty.

  • Is it the year of no headphone jack in--

  • Oh! Oh!

  • Okay.

  • Oh, damn.

  • - That sad thing is we actually have to give this back.

  • But I'm totally just gonna buy one for myself.

  • This is too cool to not have.

  • Before we get too carried away,

  • as if that hasn't already happened yet,

  • there are a fair few accessories in the box.

  • We've got a little bit of paperwork,

  • we've also got the USB-C to headphone jack adaptor.

  • No, this does have a 3.5 mil headphone jack,

  • but I think I can live with that.

  • So, with the fast charging, you should be able

  • to get somewhere in the neighborhood

  • of two hours of talk time for about five minutes of a charge

  • and considering the size of it, it looks about right.

  • But some of the more exciting stuff

  • is actually going to be on the actual phone itself.

  • That's still cool.

  • Inside, this guy's about as high-end as it gets.

  • So you're going to be getting a Snapdragon 845,

  • 8 gigabytes of RAM, as well as 128 gigs of storage.

  • It's also got the basically bezel-less design.

  • So the 94% screen-to-body ratio,

  • yes, if you look on the bottom,

  • there's going to be a tiny, tiny bezel

  • but honestly, as far as I'm concerned,

  • this is the closest to a fully bezel-less phone

  • we've seen, especially considering

  • there's going to be no notch.

  • You're also going to be getting

  • a full 6.4 inch, 2340 by 1080p display.

  • And not only is it going to look nice,

  • but it's also going to be a Samsung AMOLED panel,

  • which gives you not only nice contrast, good color,

  • but it's also going to give you the ability

  • of having that curved edge on left and right.

  • Now, there is no fingerprint sensor,

  • however the face unlock is supposed

  • to be much more accurate and it's pretty quick, too.

  • So if I hit the button, swipe up, it pops up,

  • scans, and closes pretty quickly.

  • Sure, not quite as fast as something

  • like just dropping your finger on a fingerprint sensor

  • but as far as I'm concerned, it's worth the trade-off.

  • I mean...

  • Software-wise, this is running

  • Android 8.1 with ColorOS on top.

  • Now, it's going to be a little bit

  • of a heavier scan but you do get some nice additions,

  • including some multi-tasking gestures.

  • So you swipe up and go between your apps.

  • You don't have to actually use

  • the standard Android navigation keys.

  • The only issue here is that

  • because this is a Chinese market phone,

  • there's currently no Google Play Store on my unit.

  • Although, you can probably figure that out yourself.

  • Now, camera-wise, around back,

  • you're going to find a 16 megapixel camera

  • paired with a 20 megapixel sensor.

  • And around front, you're actually going to be getting

  • a full 25 megapixels for that selfie action.

  • There's actually a lot of detail here.

  • That's not bad at all.

  • So there's going to be some AI trickery

  • to be able to optimize your photos,

  • and at least based on first glance, again,

  • keep in mind, pre-production,

  • they're still working on it, looks pretty nice.

  • I definitely want to wait

  • for the final software and hardware

  • before fully judging the camera but at first glance,

  • it seems to be decent, at the very least.

  • It has been a long time since I've seen a piece of hardware

  • come in here that is just this cool.

  • Now, I don't have price, I don't have release date

  • just yet but it should be on sale this year

  • and I gotta say, I'm sad I have to give it back.

  • I'm actually legitimately going to buy one.

- Hey, guys, this is Austin
