On June 1, 2018, OPPO's official microblog announced that the new flagship machine of the Find series was about to return, which was officially named the future flagship Find X. Later, OPPO officials said that they would hold a global press conference of Find X at the Louvre in Paris on June 19.

Four years ago, Find 7 was still impressive. The rest screen aesthetics and the skyline breathing light not only become the most representative technology and design concept in the current industry, but also make OPPO the representative of independent aesthetics of domestic brands. So far, some users are reluctant to leave. Even the digital fad like the author has always been looking forward to the Find series, The H5 launched on OPPO's official microblog this afternoon attracted the attention of the author.

H5 takes the name of "hearing the voice of art" and has embedded a mechanical sound of "Zizi". Although the audio frequency is very short, the amount of information revealed in it is really fascinating. Due to the current mobile phones' pursuit of extreme performance and thinness, the current mobile phone products have basically lost the mechanical structure of the Saipan era, let alone the mechanical sound. The H5 of Find X seems to imply that the Find X this time is really unusual, which may include a mechanical structural design, or may be a metaphor for some kind of black technology, rotating camera? Folding the flexible screen? Double screen mechanical structure? Or modular mobile phones? The answer to all this lies in the H5.

H5 content implies: mechanical structure

This time, the H5 of Find X is an audio, and there is only "Zizi" mechanical sound. It is not difficult to guess that this implies that the "Zizi" mechanical sound is the sound generated by the mechanical structure inside the Find X fuselage. But it is interesting to note that Find X is OPPO's flagship new product launched after four years. In the current "thin and light" mobile phone market, the mechanical structure is likely to mean a slightly thicker body, which is a very bold attempt. A little carelessness may lead to a bad start.

But when you think about it carefully, OPPO is not without a precedent for mobile phones with mechanical structure. The little prince of rotating photography OPPO N1 used a mechanical rotating camera design, which was also favored by many users.

If the mechanical structure is adopted, the author makes bold analysis and careful deliberation. At this stage, it is very likely to adopt hidden, rotary cameras, embedded/flexible/folding screens.  

I still remember that in 2013, the effect of mobile phone photo taking at that time was better than that now, that is, card to SLR. At that time, the front camera effect of mobile phones was quite poor, to what extent? Have you ever seen a girl take a self portrait with her mobile phone turned upside down with a rear camera? You may not have seen it after 00. It will be very popular. Why? Because the front camera of the mobile phone at that time was too poor, people preferred to use the rear camera to take a selfie, but in this case, the user could not view the scene to see the effect, so that a selfie was taken several times with the mobile phone in reverse, and often blurred, the scene was quite embarrassing!

OPPO N3

At that time, in order to solve this problem, OPPO launched OPPO N1, a smart phone with a rotating camera. By rotating the camera, one camera is both rear and front, allowing users to easily take high-definition portraits of themselves, and solving a major embarrassment for female users who take self portraits. However, another embarrassment is that N1's rotating camera is manually rotated, not automatically. When users take a self portrait, they should manually rotate the camera to aim at the angle. Later, OPPO was equipped with an electric rotary camera in the subsequent model OPPO N3 of the N series, which further improved the user experience and perfectly solved the embarrassment of taking selfies.

When H5 came out this time, the first thing I thought of was the revolving camera of OPPO N3. I still remember the amazing effect of N3 electric revolving camera. It was very popular to take a selfie at the party.

Although curved screen phones will soon be eliminated after entering the era of full screen, it is undeniable that flexible screen is also a very cool technology. The previously rumored flexible folding screen mobile phone has never been seen. If the mechanical sound content in OPPO H5 suggests the second possibility, it can only be the screen.

Previously, The Bell, a Korean media, said that Samsung Electronics would start to supply a 6.4 inch flexible and flexible curved display screen to OPPO, the fifth largest smartphone manufacturer, in June. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the Find X access information, which also showed a 19.5: 9 6.4 inch AMOLED screen used by Find X, consistent with the content reported by the Korean media.

As long as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology does not go wrong this time, the flexible screen of Find X will basically not work. But the problem is that the mechanical sound in H5 means that the body will have a mechanical structure. In this way, the flexible AMOLED screen of Find X may not be a whole straight sided curved screen like Samsung mobile phones, but it may be a flexible folding screen, or it may really be a common curved screen

H5 form implies: black technology innovation

This H5 audio combines the two themes of the previous official poster of Find X and the "flagship of the Find series after four years". It is not difficult to see that this Find series is a real flagship product that OPPO has been preparing for a long time. For a flagship machine, black technology is naturally an indispensable element.

In May this year, OPPO showed the world's first 5G video call demonstration using 3D structured light technology at a media conference. For Find X, it seems that it is also a matter of course to use 3D structured light technology.

But the weather is unpredictable, and the author here also makes a bold guess. If there is no 3D structured light, don't hit me. I believe the next generation Find series will still be equipped with it

To get to the point, based on the structure of the rotary camera, if Find X really uses 3D structured light technology, it doesn't even need to sacrifice its appearance to use the ugly Liu Haiping design, but uses the rotary camera to achieve 3D structured light.

When it comes to black technology, what I can still think of is modular design, which happens to be a mechanical structure. Let's imagine that if Find X adopts a modular design, it can use an optical zoom camera module. When the light changes, the "Zizi" sound from the camera is exactly the sound in H5! It's perfect! The case is solved!

All the above are conjectures. Please refer to the press conference for the real machine effect

Well, I know what you want to say, but you click in to read this article just to see the Find X big guess. Since it is a guess, the author must be unconstrained!

Find X returns. I believe that many users have the same expectations for this phone as the author. Maybe the final product has a real chance to avoid all the above conjectures perfectly. Maybe the author's conjectures will be 1-2. But from the product concept posters released by OPPO these days, one thing is certain. As the return of OPPO Find high-end series, Find X will be a future flagship product that will be upgraded in all directions, and it will certainly bring us a full range of surprises.
