Major OPPO Find X3 Pro leak details a serious challenger to the Galaxy S21

ColorOS is about to see a boost in color.

What you need to know

  • Leaker Evan Blass has unveiled details of the premium OPPO Find X3 Pro, expected early next year.
  • There will be a particular emphasis on color, as the phone will reportedly support 10-bit color management throughout.
  • OPPO will apparently not make the jump to 125W wired charging that was unveiled in July.

OPPO is expected to announce a trio of flagship smartphones in March 2021, and some leaked details of the premium model paint an interesting picture of how OPPO plans to differentiate with these phones from other top smartphones. It's been rumored that the company is punching up the color profile on the display, introducing a color management system and 10-bit color reproduction. This seems to be the focus of the Find X3 Pro, codename "Fussi", as OPPO readies the tagline "Awaken Color".

Front and center is the already impressive dynamic 120Hz QHD+ display, which changes the refresh rate based on what's being viewed, similar to Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The curved 6.7" OLED display will support full 10-bit color and is said to more accurately present the photos taken with its cameras, which should appeal to photographers. Speaking of cameras, the upgraded Sony sensors will see a small bump to dual 50MP wide and ultra-wide cameras, up slightly from the 48MP sensors on the Find X2 Pro (below). The telephoto sensor will remain at 13MP with 2x zoom, but there will be an additional dedicated macro lens that will reportedly feature a 25x magnification and come equipped with a ring light around the sensor.

It's expected that the OPPO Find X3 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. There's no word on RAM or storage, but interestingly OPPO is sticking with its tried-and-true 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 wired charging to juice up the dual-cell 4,500mAh battery. And while there are no complaints regarding OPPO's speedy charging, it's a little disappointing not to see the hyped-up 125W flash charge that the company unveiled over the summer, especially considering it was supposedly "commercial-ready". Wireless charging will be handled by 30W AirVOOC, as opposed to the 65W wireless charging that was also unveiled this past July.

Lastly, it's suggested the smartphone will feature a curved back of either matte-frost or a ceramic-like glass. Colors will include blue, black, and eventually a white option. It will come at a thickness of just 8mm and weigh roughly 190g and will run the aptly-named ColorOS 11 based on Android 11.

While the trio of OPPO Find X3 smartphones is expected in March, another trio of smartphones is also expected to launch around the same time; the OnePlus 9 along with two accompanying models. Some details of those smartphones have already been leaked, but considering the relationship between OnePlus and OPPO (no matter how much they may deny it), it would be interesting to see what features the smartphones end up sharing.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
