Oppo returns with another flagship phone featuring telephoto accessories and impressive specs. The Find X10 Pro Max is launching across Europe, Asia and other territories, succeeding last year's Find X9 Pro and sitting below the Find X9 Ultra. However, if you're based in the US, it will once again be hard to get the company's newest phone.
Oppo isn't breaking much new ground this year with its upper-midrange Find X10 series. Design changes are minor. Aside from a standalone color sensor and flash positioned next to the camera unit, it looks like another Find X series 'pro' phone. A slender orange accent outlines the camera array, the latest nod to Oppo's collaboration with Hasselblad. The materials are further refined, with a matte-finish aluminum frame and a textured back panel that's actually quite smooth.
The phone has a 6.78-inch display peaking at 3,600 nits, noticeably brighter than the Find X9 Pro. It supports adaptive refresh rates from 1 to 144Hz, 10-bit color depth and Dolby Vision. Auto-brightness seemed snappier when switching between dark rooms and bright outdoor daylight.
Cameras remain Oppo's obsession, though the lineup is confusing. The Find X10 Pro Max uses three 200-megapixel sensors, but its main sensor is a 1/1.3-inch Samsung HPC rather than the larger Sony sensor in the Find X9 Ultra, which is roughly 25 percent bigger. The Ultra handled low light better in Hasselblad Master mode. The telephoto reaches 3x optical zoom and 6x lossless zoom, well short of the Ultra's 10x, but it offers better macro capability with a 10cm focal distance. Compared with the Find X9 Pro, it autofocuses better in low light and captures more detail. Default output is 26MP across the zoom range, with a high-res mode available.
