Last week, Oppo released three new phones from the Find X3 series, and the flagship X3 Pro has a brand new trick. Whether you think it’s a gimmick or not, there’s a new “microlens” camera that can take almost microscopic photos. We think it’s pretty cool. Of course, there are other things to consider when buying a phone, but most flagships in 2021 will tick the boxes. If you have such a unique smartphone in the US, do you feel that you are missing it?
It was a personal point of frustration for me that so many good phones would never come to the US. When we review the budget and mid-range smartphones here at Android Police, we usually do so with a view to the US market, and this is an area where places like India and China have a huge advantage. Our readers always point out that phones from companies like Nokia and Motorola can not really compete with Redmi and Realme models, and this is absolutely true – unfortunately you can not get it on the outside without importing it. whole stack of reservations.
The micro lens of the Find X3 Pro is cool and I wish my phone had it.
In the middle of the last decade, there was hope that more of these Chinese brands would come to the US, and OnePlus was proof that they could disrupt the market and achieve success. LeEco is a name you probably can not remember right now, but they tried and failed. Xiaomi has expressed some interest, but recent politics have probably taken up all the plans, and I expect most Chinese companies will hold on until the situation changes.
With the new Oppo Find X3, my frustrations over the lack of a choice in the US market have reached a new high: not only are our mid-range options lacking, but we also miss these fun new flagship features. And while I can still find Chinese means of Android mediocre, so is it. mile better than they used to be.
This may simply be an ‘I’ issue, exclusively for our tech bloggers in our little bubble, but I’m curious to know if any of our US readers would consider buying the Find X3 Pro when it comes here.
