OPPO has announced its new Find X8 series, aimed at both photography enthusiasts and flagship seekers. As a result of Hasselblad’s collaboration, this phone series is equipped with advanced photography features, including a dedicated shutter key, as well as the Alert slider, which is only available in the Pro model.
Display and Performance Highlights
Oppo Find X8 Pro features an almost flat 6.78″ LTPO display with micro-quad-curved edges (1264p+, 120Hz refresh rate, and 10-bit color support). The device is powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset and has a 5,910mAh battery that charges at 80W via wired connection and 50W wirelessly.
Camera System with Powerful Sensors
In the Find X8 Pro, the camera system is built around the 50MP 1/1.4″ LYT-808 main sensor. All three lenses are equipped with 50MP sensors, including a 3x telephoto, a 120° ultra-wide, and a 6x periscope. It promises excellent photo quality under any conditions due to its versatility and Hasselblad’s touch.
Compact Flagship Experience
Oppo’s Find X8 offers a compact flagship experience even though it is slightly smaller at 6.59″. It also features the same Dimensity 9400 processor and an LTPO display (120Hz, 10-bit). Battery capacity is 5,630mAh, and charging capabilities are the same as those of the Pro model. The triple 50MP camera system lacks the Pro’s periscope lens, but is still able to produce high-quality images.
Enhanced Durability
Oppo has upped its durability game with dust and water resistance ratings of IP68 and IP69. The phone is also protected against hot water jets, allowing users to rinse it more thoroughly if necessary.
Pricing and Availability
It costs CNY 5,300 ($745) for the 12/256GB Oppo Find X8, while the Oppo Find X8 costs CNY 4,200 ($590) for the same memory configuration. In China, a satellite communication version of the Find X8 Pro will be available.
Competition
Vivo launched its X200 series recently, and Oppo’s flagship faces stiff competition. Oppo’s Find X8 Pro and X200 Pro offer similar features to each other, while the X200 Pro sets itself apart from the Find X8 Pro with its premium design and features. Its camera has a 3.7x telephoto lens and a 200MP sensor, giving it an edge in zoom performance.
Xiaomi, Honor, and OnePlus are coming soon
A new flagship phone is on the way, the OnePlus 13, which will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and the same LYT-808 sensor as the Find X8 Pro. Also, the upcoming 15 series from Xiaomi and the Honor Magic7 series will feature Qualcomm’s new chipsets.
Final Thoughts
A large battery, top-tier camera capabilities, and IP69 water resistance are all features that make the Oppo Find X8 Pro a compelling package for flagship enthusiasts. If you’re looking for a smartphone with a camera that is of high quality and a range of cutting-edge features, the Find X8 Pro should be your first choice.
