- Hey, guys, this is Austinand today I have something very, very special.This is the OPPO Find X and not onlywere they awesome enough to sponsor this video,but they also hooked us up with an early unitbefore it's actually even been announced.What's really cool with this guyis not only does it ship with a bezel-less design,but on top of that, it's got some featuresthat I've never even seen on another phone before.I'm also really excited 'cause this has beensitting on my desk all morningand I have not opened it up yet.Ooh.Dude, look at that purple finish.So it's on the edges but it sort of tapers offinto black in the middle, wow.Now, technically this color is knownas Bordeaux Red although I've got to say,pretty sure it's purple.Just throwing that one out there.It's pretty purple.Did you just see that?!Wait.Wait.Wait!Wait, what? Hold on, I got to do that again.That is so insane, look at that camera!So the whole top of the phone pops out!So, part of the reason that they're actually ableto make a bezel-less display is'cause the camera is fully hidden.I mean, look at that!So not only is the front-facing camera going to be hidden,but you're also going to be ableto get your dual rear-facing cameras.That is--(slams on desk)This is the future, I cannot believe how cool this is.I mean it looks awesome,the screen is really nice, we've basically got no bezelbut there's no real tray off there.I'm sorry, I'm too excited right now,I'll bring it back a notch.Get it? Bring it back a notch?'Cause there's no notch?So I knew a little bit about this phonebut I purposely wanted to sort of save it for the video.And I knew there was going to be some kind of pop-out camerabut the idea that the entire front of the phonepops in and comes back down, I mean, look at that.That's insane.Alright, okay, I know I need to calm down.But, I mean, it's the whole package.It's even got the curved AMOLED display,there's no bezel, the camera, the killer color.It's really hard.It's really hard for me to take this seriously right now.It's so cool.I mean, I legitimately did not expect thisto be a thing that you could buy in 2018.I mean, sure, as sort of the futuregets closer and closer, as screen tech gets better,there's a lot of interesting ideas,but the fact that this is going to be a phonethat you can buy very, very soon.I don't think I've ever touched a piece of hardwarethat has gotten me this excited about a phone.Straight-up, I have never been this ampedto try any kind of phone hardware.I feel like things have gotten so stale,so boring these days,that this is something that's so different.I mean, it's not only just the notch.I mean, I'm not a huge fan of the notch,but I can kind of live with it,but the fact that you've got a fully bezel-less display.I mean, if I unlock it hereand use my super cool Face Unlock,you'll see that there's gonna bea tiny, tiny little bit of bezel on bottomand basically nothing at the top and sides.But I mean, that's so close,I don't even think it counts as a chin.Jimmy. - Yes.Oh, so I saw it in the box, off, but I didn't see the back.- Don't you like that finish?- That's awesome.So this is like what they wanted,oh, what the heck?- I knew it, I knew it!- Wait.What? That is so weird!It has a little noise and everything?- Next victim.This is the Find X.- Alrighty.Is it the year of no headphone jack in--Oh! Oh!Okay.Oh, damn.- That sad thing is we actually have to give this back.But I'm totally just gonna buy one for myself.This is too cool to not have.Before we get too carried away,as if that hasn't already happened yet,there are a fair few accessories in the box.We've got a little bit of paperwork,we've also got the USB-C to headphone jack adaptor.No, this does have a 3.5 mil headphone jack,but I think I can live with that.So, with the fast charging, you should be ableto get somewhere in the neighborhoodof two hours of talk time for about five minutes of a chargeand considering the size of it, it looks about right.But some of the more exciting stuffis actually going to be on the actual phone itself.That's still cool.Inside, this guy's about as high-end as it gets.So you're going to be getting a Snapdragon 845,8 gigabytes of RAM, as well as 128 gigs of storage.It's also got the basically bezel-less design.So the 94% screen-to-body ratio,yes, if you look on the bottom,there's going to be a tiny, tiny bezelbut honestly, as far as I'm concerned,this is the closest to a fully bezel-less phonewe've seen, especially consideringthere's going to be no notch.You're also going to be gettinga full 6.4 inch, 2340 by 1080p display.And not only is it going to look nice,but it's also going to be a Samsung AMOLED panel,which gives you not only nice contrast, good color,but it's also going to give you the abilityof having that curved edge on left and right.Now, there is no fingerprint sensor,however the face unlock is supposedto be much more accurate and it's pretty quick, too.So if I hit the button, swipe up, it pops up,scans, and closes pretty quickly.Sure, not quite as fast as somethinglike just dropping your finger on a fingerprint sensorbut as far as I'm concerned, it's worth the trade-off.I mean...Software-wise, this is runningAndroid 8.1 with ColorOS on top.Now, it's going to be a little bitof a heavier scan but you do get some nice additions,including some multi-tasking gestures.So you swipe up and go between your apps.You don't have to actually usethe standard Android navigation keys.The only issue here is thatbecause this is a Chinese market phone,there's currently no Google Play Store on my unit.Although, you can probably figure that out yourself.Now, camera-wise, around back,you're going to find a 16 megapixel camerapaired with a 20 megapixel sensor.And around front, you're actually going to be gettinga full 25 megapixels for that selfie action.There's actually a lot of detail here.That's not bad at all.So there's going to be some AI trickeryto be able to optimize your photos,and at least based on first glance, again,keep in mind, pre-production,they're still working on it, looks pretty nice.I definitely want to waitfor the final software and hardwarebefore fully judging the camera but at first glance,it seems to be decent, at the very least.It has been a long time since I've seen a piece of hardwarecome in here that is just this cool.Now, I don't have price, I don't have release datejust yet but it should be on sale this yearand I gotta say, I'm sad I have to give it back.I'm actually legitimately going to buy one.
