OPPO uncovers the ultimate artistic collaboration with new OPPO Find X2 Series
Launch features exclusive artistic collaboration with Grammy-nominated British artist Nao, recreating her top hit ‘Another Lifetime’ during lockdown using the 5G-powered Find X2 Series
New OPPO flagship handsets, featuring the best screen in the industry and top-notch 5G performance, are now available for pre-order in the UK – with addition of new OPPO Find X2 Neo and OPPO Find X2 Lite
London, UK – 27th May 2020 – To mark the launch of its flagship OPPO Find X2 Series in the UK, OPPO today unveiled an exclusive collaboration with Grammy-nominated British singer and songwriter Nao, producing an exclusive remix of Nao’s top hit Another Lifetime during lockdown using the 5G-powered OPPO Find X2.
To rework the song Nao collaborated with the Kaleidoscope Orchestra, a musical collective of young classically-trained musicians from Manchester and London who use classical instruments and concepts to reimagine contemporary music. Nao and Kaleidoscope jointly performed the remix during lockdown in a virtual orchestral ensemble, with the musical arrangement captured, produced and shared with the world using OPPO’s new 5G flagship, the OPPO Find X2.
“We are privileged to be working with Nao and the wonderful Kaleidoscope Orchestra on this unique collaboration, where we are bringing art and technology together to create a unique musical experience powered by the OPPO Find X2 Series,” said Kevin Cho, Managing Director, OPPO Mobile UK.
“With this launch we are celebrating new ways to connect, collaborate and create together using mobile technology—something that will be taken to a whole new level with 5G. Today we’re thrilled to be bringing the Find X2 series—with its brilliant screen, professional-grade camera capabilities and full 5G performance—to the hands of all of our UK customers so that they can uncover their creative potential in new ways,” added Kevin Cho.
“I love finding new ways to perform my music and with the UK in lockdown it just seemed like the perfect opportunity to try and make something spectacular happen remotely. So when OPPO asked me if I wanted to do something creative with the OPPO Find X2 Pro it felt like a great opportunity to collaborate. And I think between myself, OPPO and Kaleidoscope Orchestra we managed it! I’m really pleased with how the performance turned out and amazed at the quality of the camera and sound on the Find X2 Pro,” said Nao.

Both the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro are backed by the flagship Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 865 Mobile Platform for top-notch 5G performance, which combined with the 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 flash charge—the fastest technology of its kind on the market, able to charge the Find X2 Pro to 100% in just 38 minutes—enables new and exciting experiences for consumers.
New additions to the Find X2 family: OPPO Find X2 Neo and OPPO Find X2 Lite
Today, OPPO announced two new additions to the Find X2 Series, the OPPO Find X2 Neo and OPPO Find X2 Lite.
Both the OPPO Find X2 Neo and Find X2 Lite are ultra-thin and portable—measuring only 7.7mm and 7.96mm respectively—and enable exceptional 5G performance based on the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 765G chipset. They are also photography powerhouses, armed with an impressive Quad camera. In the Find X2 Neo this is complemented by OPPO’s brand-new Ultra Steady Video 2.0 technology, which automatically stabilises video shooting; while the Find X2 Lite features Hyper Boost, a unique screen performance optimisation technology ideal for gaming applications.
“Today, we are proud to support OPPO in launching the OPPO Find X2 Neo and Find X2 Lite, their next generation of 5G devices,” said Ben Timmons, Senior Director, Business Development Qualcomm UK. “OPPO has been one of the companies leading the 5G charge in Europe since their launch of OPPO Reno 5G in Switzerland last April. The new device launches, both powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 765G mobile platform, represent the close collaboration between the two companies and is yet another example of how 2020 will become the year of 5G for all. We look forward to working with OPPO as they continue to drive 5G adoption in the UK.”
