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

Oppo Find X8 Pro - a flagship without overpaying

Flagship smartphones come in different varieties. They can be both very expensive phones with some innovative ideas, and simpler models with today's top technical specifications. The hero of today's review balances between the two mentioned groups, maintaining both a democratic price tag and providing truly impressive functionality with a number of extremely interesting solutions.

The appearance of the new product continues the design concept of its predecessor. A similar round block of photo modules looks beautiful, brutal, and the metal edging of the case with moisture protection according to IP69 standards and the back panel stylized as leather evoke exclusively positive emotions. Of course, it is difficult not to praise the lack of frames of the 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a built-in ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The AMOLED panel does not have the most outstanding resolution for the segment (2780x1264 pixels), but the image clarity is still decent, and the combination of an impressive brightness reserve of as much as 6000 nits, a 120 Hz refresh rate, perfectly calibrated color rendition and an effective oleophobic layer help to give the display an excellent rating.

It is also deserved by the bundle of the latest MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor, 12 GB / 16 GB of RAM. The CPU scores significantly more than three million points in the AnTuTu benchmark, which guarantees lightning-fast response of the Android 14 OS to any user action. Of course, the gaming capabilities have also become limitless, because even the well-known resource-intensive Genshin Impact, Fortnite, Zenless Zero Zone work at maximum graphics settings with a frame rate of 60 or more frames per second. Games will not experience any lags or freezes. The permanent memory is 256/512/1024 GB of UFS 4.0 format. The battery of 5910 mAh with support for wired charging at 100 W and wireless at 50 W is responsible for autonomy. It gives about 8-9 hours of active screen time, so you won’t have to look for outlets every day.

Fans of high-quality photos and videos will be delighted with the main 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 module with hybrid stabilization, two telephoto lenses with three-fold and six-fold optical zoom and a wide-angle sensor. There is no shooting scenario that would not be amenable to these cameras. Impeccable noise reduction and fantastic detail will accompany each photo. Rich and deep sound of stereo speakers, contactless payments NFC, modem operation in 5G frequencies and a lot of other advantages allow to distract from the only drawback - the lack of a global version of the gadget and, as a result, a number of untranslated menu items, non-removable applications-services for China. But these are trifles that do not spoil the impression of a practically ideal device.
