Oppo Find X10 review: Two-minute review

(Image credit: Jamie Richards / Future) I’ve been using a selection of Oppo phones as my daily drivers for the last two years, and in that time, I’ve always gravitated towards the higher end of the lineup. I’ve stood by my habit of choosing the ‘pro’ option where possible for several reasons — such as wanting a high-quality camera system, long battery life, a great screen, and powerful internals — but Oppo’s new baseline flagship throws that all into question. Put simply, the Oppo Find X10 feels like a ‘pro’ phone. It blazes through multitasking, gaming, and productivity tasks. It lasts for ages thanks to an iPad-sized battery. Its three rear cameras are some of the clearest and sharpest I’ve used on a smartphone. And its mid-sized display feels bigger than it is thanks to razor-thin bezels and a super-sharp resolution. However, the Oppo Find X10 also comes with a pro-grade price tag. While last year’s Oppo Find X9 launched at £899 / AU$1,799 (it wasn’t available in the US), the Find X10 hikes that number up to £1,099 (AU$ TBC) — the same price as the Oppo Find X9 Pro . Really, then, it makes more sense to see the Find X10 as the successor to the Find X9 Pro. This year’s actual step-up model, the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max , is in a different class altogether, with three 200MP cameras and a ludicrous £1,499 launch price. Still, as you might expect from such an expensive handset, the Oppo Find X10 punches above its weight class as a standard flagship. Though we’ve seen other Android manufacturers like Samsung and Google release phones with triple-camera systems and fast internal components, Oppo’s latest offering has some seriously impressive specs up its sleeve, and it’s a strong contender for future inclusion in TechRadar’s best Android phone and best camera phone guides. As well as the aforementioned battery — a monstrously huge 7,150mAh cell (or an even bigger 8,000mAh cell in APAC regions) — the phone comes locked and loaded with two 200MP camera sensors, one of the cleanest Android wrappers in the game, and a thin and light design that takes more than a little inspiration from Apple. Indeed, the Find X10 makes it clearer than ever that Oppo has no plans of slowing its roll when it comes to taking, ahem, inspiration from the design and engineering teams over in Cupertino. I’ll leave you to decide whether that’s a help or a hindrance; the phone itself works marvelously, but it’s hardly the most original product on the market. With that said, if you’re someone who absolutely must use Android, but like the look and feel of the best iPhones , the Find X10 is about as close as you can get while keeping a hold of Google’s mobile OS. Across the industry, phones aren’t getting any cheaper — the standard iPhone 17 is approaching the launch price of the iPhone 15 Pro , and Android phone makers are jacking prices across the board — and Oppo’s latest flagships are no exception. At £1,099, the Oppo Find X10 is very expensive for a supposed base-model flagship, but, to be real, this is a pro-level flagship in disguise. Thanks to its excellent cameras and solid performance, its standard-sounding name is not a facade that holds for long; a pro by any other name still feels as complete. Oppo Find X10 Pro review: Price and availability

(Image credit: Jamie Richards / Future) Costs £1,099
Comes in a single configuration with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage
Not available in the US; Australia availability TBC
The Oppo Find X10 costs £1,099 — exactly the same as last year’s Find X9 Pro at launch and £200 more than the standard Find X9. That might sound like a mighty price hike at first, but the truth is that the Find X10 is more obviously a follow-up to the Find X9 Pro than the standard Find X9, and makes a case for its price point with some properly pro-grade features. The Find X10 comes in one configuration: 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage. That is, annoyingly, less RAM and storage space than last year’s Find X9 Pro, which came with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. But with rising prices across the industry and still-excellent performance (as I’ll discuss below), the Find X10 is hardly the worst offender on the market when it comes to changes in value proposition. If you buy the phone directly from Oppo , you get your choice of the Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit or Oppo Watch X3 at no extra cost. Personally, I’d recommend the teleconverter kit — I didn’t get to test it with the Find X10, but having used last year’s version with the Find X9 Pro, I’d recommend it for any keen mobile photographers. One thing I do appreciate about Oppo is that everything you need to get started with your phone comes in the box. As well as the phone itself, my Find X10 review unit came with an 80W SuperVOOC charger and a color-matched silicone case. Considering how expensive high-power chargers can be, that’s a decent value-add. Value score: 3 / 5

Oppo Find X10 review: Design

(Image credit: Jamie Richards / Future) Comes in three colors: Glacier Blue, Glow Coral, and Mist Grey
The most iPhone-like Oppo phone yet
Simple but elegant, with beautiful details
There’s no getting around the fact that the Oppo Find X10 looks like an iPhone 17 Pro (or indeed an iPhone 18 Pro ). Its aluminum frame, glass rear panel, and raised camera plateau housing a trio of rear cameras make this the most iPhone-like Oppo phone ever released — somehow, it looks even more Apple-esque than last year’s Find X9 Pro, and given the brand’s history with taking inspiration from Cupertino, that’s really saying something. However, despite its lack of originality, I am a fan of the Find X10’s design. In typical Oppo style, the phone feels both tanky and elegant. I wasn’t concerned about it taking knocks in my pocket or at the bottom of a backpack, but I also found myself stopping to appreciate the refinement and precision in its construction. Funnily enough, that familiar-looking camera plateau is perhaps the best example of Oppo’s attention to detail; it rises from a rear panel made of a single piece of glass. It helps, too, that the Find X10 comes with some protective kit in the box — you get a color-matched silicone case at no extra charge, and the phone comes with a glass screen protector pre-installed. The phone has also been separately rated at IP66, IP68, and IP69, meaning it can take a dip in shallow fresh water without any fuss (that’s a safety net, not an invitation). My review unit came in the Glacier Blue colorway, which is rather nice, and the phone also comes in the stylishly loud Glow Coral (read: pink) and understated Mist Grey (read: grey) color options for those who want something more or less noticeable. In the interface department, the Find X10 comes equipped with the standard power button and volume rocker as well as the Snap Key, Oppo’s take on Apple’s Action Button. By default, it’s set to activate Mind Space (more on that in the Software section), but I tend to set it as a camera shortcut or handy flashlight button. The USB-C port uses a USB 3. 2 Gen 1 connector, meaning file transfers zip by at a speedy 10 Gbps, and the main speaker alongside it is one of the best I’ve heard on any phone, with plenty of bass and depth to the sound. Design score: 4 / 5
Oppo Find X10 review: Display

(Image credit: Jamie Richards / Future) 6. 59-inch screen
2768 x 1272 resolution
800 nits of typical brightness, peaking at 3,600 nits for HDR
I’m a large guy who likes large phones, and as such, I’ve spent the last few years daily driving the biggest phone I could get my oversized mitts on. With that said, I’ve found myself really enjoying the Find X10’s slightly smaller screen. ‘Slightly’ is the operative word here — at 6. 59 diagonal inches, the phone isn’t much smaller than the 6. 78-inch screen shared by the Find X10 Pro Max and last year’s Find X9 Pro, but it’s still a noticeable, and I dare say welcome, change. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so surprised. Oppo has long proved itself as a maker of truly excellent displays, and the Find X10 is no different. With a resolution of 2768 x 1272 and pixel density of 460 pixels per inch, the screen on the Find X10 is even sharper than that of its bigger sibling, the Find X10 Pro Max. Oppo claims 800 nits of typical brightness, rising to 2,000 nits in high brightness mode and 3,600 nits peak for HDR content. In daily use, brightness wasn’t really a concern — the display was always legible and colorful, both indoors and outside, and with such a huge battery under the hood, I was content to let auto-brightness just do its thing. The display also sports razor-thin bezels that measure a uniform 1. 15mm around its entire edge. In practical use, they’re basically unnoticeable, which helps the slightly smaller display feel as immersive as a larger premium flagship. An adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate keeps things feeling smooth in motion, while certain games can bump that figure up to 144Hz. As usual, you get a choice of color profiles in the settings app — I like the ‘vivid’ look for its richer, poppier colors, though there are warmer, cooler, or more muted options to match other tastes. As is now typical for high-end phones, the Find X10’s display uses an OLED panel to deliver deep blacks and excellent contrast, and I found it perfect for watching videos, playing games, and everyday browsing alike. Display score: 5 / 5
Oppo Find X10 review: Cameras

(Image credit: Jamie Richards / Future) 200MP main camera
200MP 2. 8x telephoto camera
50MP ultra-wide camera
50MP selfie camera
The Find X10 makes its strongest case for a high price tag with its camera system. With two 200MP sensors powering the main and telephoto cameras, respectively, as well as 50MP ultra-wide and selfie cameras, the Find X10 is a performant and reliable camera phone that excels at taking detailed snaps in a variety of lighting conditions. I was impressed by just how sharp and colorful photos looked, and Oppo seems to have toned down the AI-flavored image signal processing common to its last generation of phones. The name of the game here is consistency — no matter which lens you pick for your shot, Oppo’s hardware and software teams have clearly worked together to make the photography experience feel reliable, with similar colors, detail, and sharpness offered across the three cameras. The best synergy comes between the main and 2. 8x telephoto cameras, both of which have a 200MP sensor at 1/1. 4-inches and 1/1. 56 inches, respectively. Both take excellent photos and offer superb detail in low light, and while neither can work miracles in pure darkness, the automatic long-exposure feature can garner impressive results. The ultra-wide camera is smaller, with a 1/2. 75-inch 50MP sensor, but it still performs well in bright situations, and serviceably in darker climes. As standard, the Find X10 bins photos to 26MP JPEGs, but you also have the option to shoot JPEG-XL or RAW files at native resolution. The huge telephoto resolution means the Find X10 can take losslessly cropped 12MP photos at 12. 4x zoom. The optional Hasselblad Teleconverter kit affixes a zoom lens to the telephoto camera, increasing the base zoom to 10x — alas, I didn’t get to test it with my review unit, but it’s worth mentioning that buying the phone from Oppo directly gives you the option of getting the kit or an Oppo Watch X3 at no extra cost…
