OPPO has built what may be the most complete Android phone ever made. The company has delivered strong flagships for two generations, but the Find X10 Pro Max still surprised with how well it performs across the board. All three rear cameras use 200MP sensors, and the teleconverter kit has been improved through software updates. Video recording is as capable as that of its main rivals.
The excellence goes beyond photography. The 8,000 mAh battery is large enough to act as a power bank and can last for multiple days, and 80W charging keeps downtime short. Inside is MediaTek's latest hardware, the Dimensity 9600 Pro, which has not faltered during weeks of use. The display is a vibrant QHD AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate, and ColorOS 17 brings further software refinements. IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance adds durability.
The drawbacks are limited. Charging is slightly slower than last year's model, the European version carries a smaller battery, and the included white case can discolor. Software updates will also trail those from Google and Samsung. The biggest issue is price: the phone starts at £1,499 in the UK and €1,799 in Europe, a figure made higher by the ongoing RAM crisis. Some deals and a free teleconverter kit worth £500 soften the cost.
For buyers who want the best Android phone available regardless of cost, the Find X10 Pro Max is hard to beat. It is an Ultra in all but name, and it sets a high bar for rivals to match. OPPO is also strengthening its after-sales service and promising six years of updates. Former OnePlus fans may see it as the successor they have been waiting for.
