Performance. Display. Camera image quality. Battery life. In almost every respect, the X3 Pro is a killer flagship phone. Software has taken a major leap forward from Oppo's previous efforts, and the hardware is easily on par with the best from Apple and Samsung - while managing to undercut them both on price. OK, the Galaxy S21 Ultra has a bigger battery, but the Oppo is significantly faster to charge. And you get more on-board storage here, too. It does make one or two backwards steps, though. Losing the innovative periscope zoom lens seen in the Find X2 Pro is a real shame, and while the microlens camera is fun to use, it's probably not something you'll whip out on the regular. Would a Samsung Galaxy S21 and Xiaomi Mi 11 deliver a similar experience for significantly less cash? Possibly - though neither are as well-rounded as this. If you want the best, you pay the premium, and the Find X3 Pro is very much one of the best.
