We are witnessing a great little revolution in mobile photography and other hardware sectors. One of the latest terminals to set the bar very high is the OPPO Find X3 Pro , with very cutting-edge features that make it difficult for any high-end on the market. For that reason we are going to face it against an entire iPhone 12 Pro Max, to see its main technical differences.
As we tend to warn, things run at a different pace at Apple. The iPhone come with technical features that in numbers, may be less impressive than in Android, but that may have nothing to do with the final result. The OPPO Find X3 Pro is the most powerful and complete smartphone in the history of the company, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max plays that role in the iPhone, while the iPhone 13 matures that will see the light in a few months.
Screen, weight and thickness
If we take a look at the screen of both devices, we find exactly the same size diagonally, with a 6.67-inch panel in both cases. The resolution in the OPPO terminal is higher with its 1440 x 3216 pixels, compared to the 1284 x 2278 pixels of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The aspect ratio is also different, being more panoramic in the Find X3 Pro with its 20: 9, compared to the 19.5: 9 ratio of the iPhone.
Both have IP68 resistance against water and dust, but if we have to “measure” the aesthetic section, there are important differences. The Find X3 takes better advantage of the front with an 89.6% ratio between screen and frames, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max reaches 87.4% of the usable front. Curiously, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is a much thinner terminal with its 7.4 millimeters, but heavier at 228 grams. Its rival is 8.3 millimeters thick and 193 grams in weight.
Processor and storage
When we lift the hood of both terminals, we see that the bets are antagonistic in conception and results. It should be borne in mind that in the case of the OPPO Find X3, the integration of its hardware is carried out taking into account a common platform such as Android, more or less optimized to suit the brand with the ColorOS layer. In the iPhone 12 Pro Max everything has been created hand in hand, where the hardware adapts to the software and vice versa.
In this sense, the Find X3 Pro integrates the Snapdragon 888, the most powerful Android processor to date, accompanied by 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. For this reason, the iPhone 12 Pro Max allows itself the luxury of having only 6 GB of RAM and versions of 128, 256 or 512 GB. Neither of them allows you to expand this storage using expansion cards.
If we take into account the results of both terminals in a performance program like AnTuTu, we see that the OPPO Find X3 Pro reaches 710,000 points, compared to the 550,000 points achieved by the iPhone 12 Pro Max. It is not something that we should take too literally, but it is true that the performance peaks are higher on the new Qualcomm chip. However, landed on the platform on which each one moves.
Cameras
In terms of hardware when it comes to cameras, the OPPO Find X3 Pro shows more muscle, with two 50-megapixel ultra-wide and wide-angle sensors, a 13-megapixel telephoto sensor and a 3-megapixel macro sensor with focus. microscopic. The iPhone 12 has three 12-megapixel sensors, with wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle and telephoto sensors, in addition to a 3D LiDAR sensor. On the front, the iPhone 12 Pro Max also completes the setup with a 12-megapixel selfie sensor, compared to the 32-megapixel selfie sensor on the Find X3 Pro.
Both terminals can record in 4K resolution up to 60fps or in FullHD up to 240 fps , but only the iPhone 12 Pro Max can capture video in this resolution also with the front camera. As a more differentiating element, the Find X3 Pro gives more importance than ever to macro photography, with a sensor capable of magnifying up to 60 times without losing detail, thus capturing details of objects very precisely.
Connections and battery
We are facing two 5G terminals, which have features such as stereo speakers, NFC or Bluetooth 5 (Bluetooth 5.2 in the Find X3 Pro and Bluetooth 5.0 in the iPhone). Where there is no battle is in the battery section, where the OPPO Find X3 boasts its 4,500 mAh and a 65W fast charge capable of charging 40% in about 10 minutes. The iPhone 12 Pro Max, meanwhile, has a 3,687 mAh battery with 20W fast charge that charges 50% in 30 minutes.
Very different prices
It might seem that the differences in the price of both devices will be abysmal, but nothing is further from the truth. At this time, we can buy the Find X3 Pro at its official price of 1,169 euros , while the iPhone 12 Pro Max has been falling in price to stand at 1,229 euros . The difference is only 60 euros in the same 256 GB variant.
