Oppo's Find X Phone Isn't Coming to the US

It's a smartphone you can't ignore due to the high spec and that 6.42-inch all-screen front, but US consumers won't have an opportunity to buy it as Oppo admits it isn't ready to deal with the US market.

The Find X from Chinese company Oppo looks to be a highly desirable smartphone for 2018. Inside you'll find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 system-on-a-chip, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Battery life shouldn't cause any problems as Oppo managed to squeeze in a 3,740mAh battery and included fast charging. Outside you'll find a 19.5:9 6.42-inch Panoramic Arc Screen, with 93.8 percent of the front of the phone being screen.

But none of that matters for US consumers as Oppo isn't going to offer them the chance to buy one.

As our very own Sascha Segan confirms in the tweet above, Oppo decided the Find X is going to launch in Europe, but not in the US. Is there a good reason? Not really, it seems. Oppo decided it simply isn't ready to "deal with our market yet."

US consumers aren't short of good smartphones to choose between this year, but it's still a shame that we won't be getting the Find X. The positive we can take away from the news is Oppo states the company isn't ready "yet," which means there's a good chance it will be soon, just not in time for the Find X.
