Oppo and Vivo dazzles on the Android flagship smartphones list
On the performance list of Android flagship smartphones in July, Oppo’s results are extremely dazzling. The company did not only claim the top two spots, it also grabbed another two spots if we add its Realme sub-brand. While the Oppo Find X2 Pro and Find X2 are comfortable in 1st and second positions respectively, the Oppo Ace 2 and Realme X50 Pro players Version got 6th and 8th positions respectively. This means that Oppo occupies four slots in the top 10 top-performing Android smartphones for July 2020. This is quite impressive.
Oppo is not the only brand with a blistering performance on this ranking. Vivo also did well if we of course add its iQOO sub-brand. The company occupies three slots with the iQOO Neo 3, Vivo X50 Pro+ as well as the iQOO 3 which is in the tenth position.
Oppo Find X2 Pro
The number one model remains Oppo Find X2 Pro just like last months with an average score of 613,048. This phone is redefining Oppo’s performance in the smartphone industry. No doubt, this device comes with strong hardware support that includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC LPDDR5 + UFS 3.0.
With strong hardware support, its 3K 120Hz screen also brings an extraordinary visual experience. So far, it is the best display on the smartphone market. All these as well as Oppo’s software adjustment assistance over the years make the Find X2 Pro desirable. Nevertheless, with the pace of development in the industry, this smartphone may not retain its top spot for long.
Oppo Find X2
In the second position is another Oppo smartphone, Find X2 with an average score of 606,490. Well, it is no surprise that this device is in the second position because its specs are basically the same as its “big brother”. The only difference between this smartphone and the Pro model is in the camera and the memory. The Oppo Find X2 comes with a LPDDR4x. Nevertheless, it still racks up a performance score which is just over 600,000 points. If users think that the Pro version is a bit expensive, choosing the standard version of Find X2 will still be a good choice.
