      It didn't win any praise back then so why Oppo get praised now, is beyond me. :-/

        "... Combining those with the mediocre standby performance made for an uninspiring 81h Endurance rating...."

        That's why the people who actually use the damn things want these phones to be slightly thicker. Instead of a curvy bump for the camera's just flatten the curve! And stick a larger battery in the added space!

        Are these engineers really THAT dumb?

            Dometalican, 18 Mar 2021Well...with a software update, they finally enabled 1Hz-120... moreme too, it's an interesting phone but I'm skeptical about the battery.
            Again I find myself forced to choose a Samsung, I hate Samsung. If Oneplus 9/9pro doesn't have better battery life I'll skip the upgrade this year

              @ GSMARENA team
              As far as I know a new firmware update has been issued, which enables the variable refresh rates of the screen to be more versatile. This should also have a footprint in the battery section. Please can you re-test the variable refresh behaviour and the battery scores? Many thanks for your great efforts!

                The fugliest Camera setup ever... They didn't even try to be original. They hoped to copy from Samsung and Apple, then boom, clone out the best but this thing is an eyesore.

                  don't ever fricking praise curved screens, they are a nightmare 😐

                    Cacciatore, 18 Mar 2021the MI 11 costs € 749 in Europe and with the current promot... moreWell, in my European country, it costs 899€!

                      JanOlsen, 19 Mar 2021X2 pro has bad battery life in reality, needs charging more... moreI disabled o1 ultra vision engine, also went to 60hz and FHD+ instead of qHD+ or all in auto (still drains a lot).
                      And it become different phone altogether. My x2pro. X3pro is a little better on battery, has wireless charging, it is lighter and slimmer (that's a problem to me with x2pro even in the case I went to leather which is 200grams not 213grams like ceramic). but 9.6mm thick compared to 8.something on x3pro and wireless charging, 192grams. sounds amazing

                        Anonymous, 19 Mar 2021Hmm, the main camera didn't get such a glowing review ... moreSamsung is long ago not a best phone. Apple has big limitations on some things in iOS, and hardware too, on iphones

                          If it was samsung or apple the camera would be out of this world thing on other sites. you know this companies have billions dollars only in pr and promoting. they do not want negative reviews for something which they must sell in millions units

                              Hmm, the main camera didn't get such a glowing review on other sites I trust.

                              Plus, I just saw the price of Oppo is asking for X3 Pro and I think it's too close to Apple's and Samsung's price points to get any traction. The price will probably drop like a rock within three months or so.

                                JanOlsen, 19 Mar 2021X2 pro has bad battery life in reality, needs charging more... moreSD 888 along with a 1440p screen that has a 120 Hz refresh rate seems to be consuming a lot of battery. Phones like these need either better optimization or batteries with capacities of 6000-7000 mAh.

                                  Maybe GSMArena you can talk about haptics in the future, as compared to Apple's.

                                    X2 pro has bad battery life in reality, needs charging more than once per day for normal use, a few photos and maybe 20 minutes of GPS. And almost zero calls, but a few app use. It never really has lasted me 24 hours, but morning to evening on low use days work.

                                    So disappointing that new version doesn't have much better battery...old version also have some issues with video recording not being smooth unless you reboot camera app. This occurs in 4k@30fps, less of a problem at 60fps, but wide angle is only available in 30fps.

                                      AnonD-546724, 18 Mar 2021I've said it once, and i'll say it again : The... moreIt looks nothing like an iPhone. If you show it someone, they're not going to say, "Oh, that looks like an iPhone." Not the front or the back. The only thing that is similar is the placement of the cameras in the camera module. But then, the camera module looks nothing like the iPhone's. This is a much better looking phone than the iPhone.

                                        Absolutely on your way... I was a bit disappointed after the hype and high expectation.
                                        I have the Find X Lamborghini edition, I had the X2 Pro but I am really thinking to skip the X3.
                                        I don't see any real benefit.

                                        I have now as daily the Mate40Pro and 2nd the U21Ultra.
