Oppo Find X8 Mini Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oppo Find X8 Mini - minimum dimensions, maximum chances of success

Compact phones continue to be popular, despite the trend towards increasing screen sizes. Many users appreciate them for the ability to use with one hand, lightness and portability, which makes them ideal for everyday life. The Chinese company Oppo understands this audience request and releases a new ergonomic sub-flagship. As a result, the hero of today's review combines productive technical characteristics, up-to-date design and ease of use.

The appearance of the new product is similar to that of its larger predecessors. The familiar circle of photo modules is massive, but at the same time beautiful and technological, matte colors of the rear glass panels are not only stylish, but also practical. All of this is complemented by a metal edging, thin display frames with a built-in fingerprint scanner. Of course, moisture protection according to IP68 standards has not disappeared anywhere. The 6.3-inch AMOLED screen has become even better in terms of image clarity thanks to the preserved resolution of 2780x1264 pixels, and such parameters as peak brightness of 4500 nits and refresh rate of 120 Hz correspond to the price category. There are almost no errors in color rendering, the oleophobic coating has excellent efficiency.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor is an amazing chipset in all respects that any fan of mobile electronics will like. Three million points in the AnTuTu test show that the CPU is a full-fledged competitor to the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, together with 12 GB / 16 GB of RAM and the Mali Immortalis-G925 MC12 video core, it brilliantly copes with the Android 15 interface and guarantees fantastically smooth gameplay of any modern games with maximum graphic presets. There are some throttling issues, but they are minor, and usually in benchmarks. The 5000mAh battery does not turn the device into a record holder in terms of autonomy, but you can go about a day and a half without thinking about sockets or power banks. In addition to wired charging with a power of 80W, there is also a wireless 50W option. The permanent memory is allocated 256/512GB of UFS 4.1 format.

The photo capabilities also do not fall flat on their faces against the background of other indicators of the device, although it is still far from the best camera phones. The main 50-megapixel sensor from Sony and the telephoto lens of the same 50MP are equipped with hybrid stabilization, thanks to which they are capable of detailed pictures and videos without noise in mediocre lighting, but the 8-megapixel wide-angle module is quite simple and does not impress with the results of photo sessions. But the stereo sound is rich and voluminous. The device also has NFC contactless payments, 5G and eSIM support, a gyroscope, and an IR port. All of the above, coupled with a price that is reasonable by today's standards, can make the gadget a real hit.
