The Oppo Find X2 offers largely the same experience as the illustrious Oppo Find X2 Pro for £300 less, with one of the best screens on the market, faultless performance, and an appealing design.

Fast 65W charging; Brilliant 120Hz OLED screen; Much cheaper than the Pro

Camera decent but doesn’t compete with best; OnePlus 8 Pro offers similar but slightly better package; No wireless charging

The Find X2 Lite is the cheapest member of the Find X2 family. How does it stack up to the fierce mid-range competition?

The Oppo Find X2 Lite is the smaller variant of the Find X2-series, although it borrows design and specifications from Oppo’s Reno 3 Youth edition. So you are getting a 6.4-inch Full-HD+ display, with 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution.

An affordable 5G phone that makes sensible sacrifices to undercut the competition. If you don't mind the somewhat heavy-handed software, the Find X2 Lite ticks a lot of boxes at this end of the price spectrum

Respectable performance tied with great battery life; Versatile cameras take decent photos; 5G on a budget

Software niggles and overbearing UI; Gives up a few features to include 5G; No expandable storage

bright OLED panel; fast WLAN; good battery life

only single SIM/no SD card support; haptics; wide bezels; wide-angle camera; 60 Hz panel only; no premium features (wireless charging; IP rating; e-SIM; etc...)

The Oppo Find X2 Lite seems like a 5G phone for people who don’t need top-end features – it doesn’t have the top chipset, a premium-feeling design or the best camera array we’ve seen, but its low price, easy-to-use operating system and great hand-feel make it a worthy purchase.

Affordable 5G; Good-looking screen; Feels good in the hand

A little slow at times; A couple of redundant rear cameras; Could get quite hot

There are certainly some compromises to be made with the Oppo Find X2 Lite, as you’d expect with any device available in this price bracket, compared to the Find X2 Pro as well as other premium flagships.

Mixed display

It might be the most entry-level phone in the Find X2 line-up, but the Lite still packs in plenty of hardware for the money. OLED screen, in-display fingerprint sensor, four-lens rear camera… it doesn't leave you wanting much, at least when it comes to 5G phones. There are 4G handsets out there with more performance muscle or camera smarts, though. If you aren't planning to upgrade your data plan any time soon, you'll notice the Realme X2 Pro's higher refresh rate screen and faster CPU more than a 5G chipset you aren't even using in the Oppo.

The Oppo Find X2 Lite gets all the essentials right, with a balanced OLED display, solid performance, a reliable camera, sterling battery life and 5G connectivity at an affordable price.

Solid performance; Decent camera; Excellent battery life; 5G at a good price;

Slightly uninspiring design; ColorOS still has its foibles; No Full HD video streaming; You can get 90/120Hz displays at this price now;

The Oppo Find X2 Lite is a solid mid-range phone, with excellent performance, quality cameras and a fairly nice design.

Great performance; Excellent cameras; Vibrant OLED display;

Iffy photo processing;
