Well here it is folks, the holy grail of the OPPO smartphone range. The legendary Automobili Lamborghini Edition of the most innovative smartphone of 2018, the Find X. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for a phone that will turn heads and as one of my friends said, “make you look like a baller” then the Find X Lamborghini Edition is the phone for you. What might not make it the phone for you is the $2,399NZD price tag that is the trade off for wanting to look like a “baller”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard Find X was my favourite phone to review<\/a> in 2018. It was genuinely innovative, super fast and has the fastest charging of any phone on the market. It was also the most expensive phone made by OPPO at $1,499 so the extra $900 your paying for the Lamborghini Edition is a HUGE step up in price but they do say you get what you pay for right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well yes and no, this is largely the same phone that I reviewed last year.<\/a> Does that make this a phone unworthy of your money? Not in the slightest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know that Lamborghini’s are a vehicle limited to only the abhorently wealthy. They are a statement piece, a super-powered, highly tuned work of art that can go ridiculously fast and turn heads at every corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Find X Lamborghini Edition isn’t too dissimilar, it turns heads with it’s premium, innovative design, it has ridiculously fast performance and it has the fastest charging of any smartphone in the world. All that means that is very well placed to receive the Lamborghini branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment you lay eyes on this thing you’ll realise this ain’t no ordinary phone. The packaging is ultra premium to the point where it comes in it’s very own Lamborghini branded bag! The box has a faux carbon fibre design with the OPPO and Lamborghini logos that teases what to come when you open the box. It may be a tease but it won’t prepare you for what you’ll discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open it up and bang, the familiar Lamborghini Yellow smacks you in the face with the unassuming Find X sitting to one side. Lift that up and again the design screams “look at me” as you discover the fully branded accessories. Striking black gloss contrasted against the yellow box. Super VOOC charger, premium braided USB-C cable and the gloss black box that contains OPPO’s very own wireless earbuds (I mean even the earbuds have the Lamborghini logo on each one!). The protective case it comes with also features a faux carbon fibre look and you’ll need it too because the all glass design creates a slippery unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That unassuming Find X I mentioned becomes anything but unassuming well you haul it out of its packaging. Gone are the striking colours of the standard Find X. The back of this phone has a black carbon fibre style design sitting below the Gorilla Glass with an embedded Lamborghini logo that appears to be floating between the glass and the carbon design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
