At first glance, the Oppo Find X looks like the most beautiful Samsung Galaxy S9 you've ever seen, with a massive display and gorgeous curved sides. But this slick, futuristic phone has an innovative identity that barrels it past the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus: a true all-screen display with a module for...

The Oppo Find X has a beautiful design, a great camera and long battery life with fast charging; It also has top-of-the-line features such as 3D face scanning for unlocking

There's no wireless charging and it's not waterproof; It can get a little hot when gaming, and isn't yet sold outside Asia

The Oppo Find X is as delectable and desirable as an orchid, and as fragile as one too.

Stunning design; Great camera performance; Flagship processor and specification; Super fast charging

Durability concerns; Very expensive; No wireless charging

Everyone wants to get rid of bezels these days. Few, however, dare to take that to their logical conclusions. We've seen Vivo's pioneering idea in that regard with the NEX S. But being first doesn't always mean being better, especially without the benefit of hindsight.

Jaw-dropping beauty; front and back; Fast and accurate 3D face recognition; 1-2 days battery life

Dangerously slippery; No fingerprint scanner; no NFC; no wireless charging; no waterproofing; Expensive and limited market availability

OPPO is defying the competition with a new flagship: the Find X. This is a smartphone that's impressive at first glance thanks to its innovative design, and furthermore, the Chinese brand has always stood out by daring to propose something new with its devices.

Innovative design; Fast charging; Good photos in good lighting conditions; Unlocks with fast and precise face recognition; Dual SIM

High price; No wireless charging; No IP6x certification; Non-expandable memory; No NFC; Mono speaker

The first several times I saw the Oppo Find X reveal its camera via its slide-out mechanism, I felt downright giddy. "This is a damn clever way to do a full-screen phone," I said to myself. And then I said something else: "Is this just a gimmick"

Amazingly beautiful design; Clever sliding stealth cameras; 3D facial recognition works well; Good use of gestures

Some apps are redundant; No wireless charging or NFC; Hard to buy in U.S

This slick slider has the price, but not the quality, of the best smartphones

Best face unlock system among Android phones; Gorgeous and notch-less; Slider is a cool gimmick; Battery lasts a reassuringly long time

Countless software annoyances; The most slippery phone of the year; Oppo App Store spam is insulting; Slider mechanism undermines phone's long-term durability

The current trend in the smartphone industry is to deliver maximum screen area in a small footprint. In this pursuit, the manufacturers have thinned down the bezels. Some have moved the fingerprint sensor on the back, while others have placed the biometrics under the screen.

The Oppo Find X is the all-screen phone of tomorrow, available today, if you're willing to pay for it.

Highest screen-to-body ratio on any phone to date; Futuristic sliding camera module; Super fast face recognition; High-quality metal and glass body; Long battery life

Not available in the U.S; Doesn't work with Verizon or Sprint; Average camera image quality; No wireless charging; No IP water rating; Really pricey

If you're a company known for mid-range devices then decided to release a flagship, you could at least expect it to go big and offer something fresh and unique at the same time. That's what OPPO did with the Find X.

So all in all, I'd sum up this flagship as a glass cannon. But I think OPPO deserves some credit for trying to think out of the box with the motorized camera. Combined with the aesthetic design, high-end tech-specs, features and performance factor, it's quite a good phone to have but the camera for...
