Oppo Find X3 Lite review: a good alternative to the Samsung A52 5G

Oppo Find X3 Lite has a quad image sensor. Configuration is no longer intended for high-end mobile phones only. So we are entitled to a main unit of 64 mega pixels that opens at f / 1.7 in addition to an ultra-wide angle of 8 mega pixels (f / 2.2). The macro sensor (2 mega-pixel, f / 2.4) and the depth module (2 mega-pixel, f / 2.4) complete the picture, even if their use is necessarily more narrative.

We will compare them with those for Pixel 4a 5G – when possible – the champion in its class.

Unit principle: 64 MP, f / 1,7, 26mm equivalent

The Oppo unit performs well in the daytime. The scene is readable, despite being overexposed. We benefit from a good level of detail, but we notice despite everything that the colors lack a bite. This is especially the case when we observe the features at the bottom left. The Pixel 4a 5G Much better at this last point.

At night, Oppo Find X3 Lite defends itself to the best of its ability, but it is forced to soften the image aggressively. Unfortunately, the colors are unnatural. Against the Pixel 4a 5G increases the digital noise, but this allows it to maintain a good level of detail.

The main unit of Oppo Find X 3 Lite takes advantage of Pixel binning, Which makes it possible to combine the pixels by four in order to capture more light when it runs out. Then the phone takes 16MP photos by default. But it is possible to force the full definition in the settings. Let’s start by comparing the 16MP photos with those of 64MP. As usual, we isolated an identically sized area (0.90 megapixels) in each shot. And so you can see the difference in the definition.

In the daytime, the changes between the two shots are subtle. The change in definition allows for a better image cropping, but not much more than that. This can be seen especially on the pictures.

Being naturally more challenging at night, 64MP mode above all provides better cropping of a specific image.

Super Big Angle Mode: 8 MP, f / 2.2, 119 °

Ultra-wide angle mode may be found on a large number of smartphones, and it is rarely convincing. Oppo Find X3 Lite is also trying its luck against the Pixel 4a 5G.

In the daytime, the result is usable, but the whole thing is very smooth. The photo loses its sharpness, and comparison with the other shot makes this easier to see. Colors are highly saturated.

At night, the result is almost unusable. The algorithm tries to compensate as much as possible, and we can read what is written in the book, but we are not very far from the pixel porridge. The difference with Pixel 4a 5G is clear.

Front unit and video

On the front, the smartphone offers a 32 MP sensor (f / 2.4) that convinced us. Selfies are good and portrait mode is effective. the influence peach Really well defined, and the faces are not very smooth, unlike what often happens with Chinese brands. However, many filters and effects are available for fans of social networks who want to hide their wrinkles. So it is a good frontal unit.

The smartphone can shoot in 4K at 30 fps (unstable), but also in Full HD at 120 fps. The display is generally satisfactory and we can even enjoy the 240fps slow motion mode in HD.
