Oppo Find X8 Pro unboxing

Chinese flagships are getting too good. Huge batteries, the latest chipsets, the best cameras (by an increasing distance). But they’re also getting more and more refined. Enter the Oppo Find X8 Pro and Find X8, the latest flagships from China that will luckily, make it to the global stage later this month.

We’ll focus on the Pro here, but let’s get a quick staredown between the pair of X8s. Outside of the obvious differences in height, display size, and battery size, the Pro has better cameras – namely a superior main 50MP sensor and a second, further-reaching 135mm telephoto.

The Oppo Find X8 Pro ships with a case, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and an 80W charger.

This is a Pro, not an X8 Ultra, so it isn’t as stacked on the camera front as possible. The main camera is a 50MP 1/1.4″ LYT808 sensor, not the 1″ unit on the Find X7 Ultra. But you still get two periscope zooms – a 73mm mid-tele and a proper 135mm telephoto with close-focusing capabilities.

The Oppo Find X8 Pro feels very premium in the hand. It’s subtly curved frame and glass sit lovely in the hand, and the all-matte surface is premium and avoids any fingerprints.

You get a nice alert slider for quick muting action and a Quick Button. Though it’s not strictly a button, per se, in that it doesn’t press down. But Oppo has put considerable ingenuity in making it feel like one. You can launch the camera with a double-tap in just 0.4s or hold it down for a continuous burst of shooting.

Elsewhere the Oppo Find X8 Pro is a flagship through and through. The display is a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED with 4,500 nits of brightness, while inside ticks the mighty 3nm MediaTek 9400. It’s powered b a 5,910mAh battery, which we expect to last a good while when we get a chance to run our battery test.
