Smartphone shipments are falling, but Chinese brands are picking up steam
Smartphone makers shipped fewer phones in the third quarter of 2018 than they did during the same period a year earlier. If that statement sounds familiar, it’s because you could say the same thing about the last four quarters, according to reports out this week from IDC and Strategy Analytics.

After launching the $130 Realme 1 smartphone for the Indian market in May, Oppo is back with a new model sporting better specs, a bigger screen, and a higher price tag.

Thanks to the folks at MyFixGuide, we already have a good idea of what a phone with one pop-out camera looks like when you take it apart and peek at the spring-loaded mechanism that ejects and retracts the camera. But what about a phone with a slide-out mechanism that houses both the front and rear cameras? […]
OPPO Find X with slide-out cameras launches in China for $755 and up
The OPPO Find X is one of the most unusual smartphones expected to launch this year. It has a slim top bezel, and at first glance it appears to have no front or rear camera. But that’s because both cameras are hidden away inside the phone when you’re not using them. A portion of the phone […]
Oppo Find X will also come in a Lamborghini edition model
The Oppo Find X is already a distinctive phone, with nearly bezel-free design and a slide-out camera system that houses a 25MP front-facing camera with 3D face scanning support and a rear dual camera system. But if that’s not special enough for you, Oppo has announced there’s also going to be a special edition model. […]
Oppo Find X is a nearly bezel-free phone with pop-out front and rear cameras
Some phone makers are trying to slim the top bezels of their phones by including camera cut-outs (notches). Chines phone maker Vivo took a different approach and launched the Vivo Nex with a pop-out selfie camera that hides inside the phone when it’s not in use. And then there’s the Oppo Find X. Unlike most […]
