Oppo
As if the cutting-edge Oppo Find X wasn’t expensive enough, the Chinese phone maker just released a new Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition for a whopping $1462, but hey, you do get a nice shiny Lambo logo on the back, plus a pair of O-Free wireless earphones!
From Oppo we also have some leaked images of the upcoming Oppo R17 with a tiny “beauty tip”, basically a top notch with just a camera, as well as rumors about Oppo F9 Pro with a very similar design.
