The era of three main cameras has begun, but only in China. While we hope that Oppo changes its mind and brings the new Find X6 series to the global market, all we can do for now is a complete review of the (coming soon) X6 Pro and find out how those Hasselblad-branded cameras perform.

The Oppo Find X6 Pro is beautiful, especially in the combination of gray metal and brown leather. And it has one of the largest camera islands we’ve ever seen, the cameras there represent the best that smartphone technology has to offer in 2023.

This includes the 1″ IMX989 sensor. The other two cameras use the IMX890, a huge 1/1.56″ sensor for these applications: the 110° ultrawide camera and the 65mm/2.8x periscope. All three cameras have a native resolution of 50MP and have optical image stabilization (OIS), yes, even ultrawide.

The Pro will be up against the Xiaomi 13 Pro and the vivo X90 Pro+ and unfortunately for international buyers only the Xiaomi is available (and the non-Plus vivo X90 Pro, but which lacks the camera to take on the Oppo). And yes, it will also compete with the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but if you read our 200MP vs. 1″ shootout you’ll know there’s no substitute for a large sensor when it comes to photography serious.

The Oppo Find X6 Pro starts at CNY 6,000 for a 12/256GB model. A Xiaomi 13 Pro with the same memory configuration is a bit cheaper at CNY 5,800, the vivo X90 Pro+ is more expensive at CNY 6,500. In Europe the Xiaomi costs a good 1,400€, so the other two will presumably cost more if they were to be launched in the Old Continent.

All three phones have large QHD+ 120Hz LTPO displays, all three are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, all three have fairly large batteries with fast charging. And all three have great cameras, of course.

Right now, unless you live in China, there’s really only one phone with a 1-inch camera you can buy (there’s the Sharp too, but it’s hard to get). Would you buy the Oppo Find X6 Pro if it was available near you? Vote below or using this page.

There is also the vanilla Oppo Find X6. This switches to the Dimension 9200 and the screen is a standard AMOLED panel with 1,240p resolution. The main and ultrawide cameras have smaller sensors (1/1.56″ and 1/2.76″ respectively), but the phone retains the Pro’s impressive periscope module: a surprisingly bright f/2.6 lens with a 1/1.56″ rear .

This starts at CNY 4,500 for a 12/256GB drive. A basic Xiaomi 13 costs a little more, 4,600 CNY (1,100€ in Europe), the vivo X90 Pro is 5,500 CNY.

The vivo is the only one of the three with a 1″ main sensor, but its zoom camera only has a 50mm lens (with a 50MP sensor it can also do digital zoom). The vivo also uses the Dimensity 9200, making the Xiaomi the only one with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It’s also the only one with a lower resolution FHD+ display.The phones have comparable battery capacities, but the Oppo is the only one without wireless charging.
