Oppo Find X8 Pro review

Introduction

 

The Oppo Find X roster has apparently grown this year, the vanilla + Ultra pair from 2023 transforming into a trio for 2024, possibly even a quartet. While waiting for the new-gen Ultra to arrive (it’s not even official yet), we have the Find X8 Pro to warm us up with some camera goodness of its own, a powerful chipset, upgraded battery, and, sure enough, a camera control key.

The X8 Pro isn’t really an X7 Ultra successor, so we’ll allow it not to have a 1-inch main camera – 1/1.4″ will do. That said, two telephotos was an Ultra thing, but we now welcome those on the Pro as well. And not only that, but in this particular case one of them uses two prisms to keep things more compact. It’s the other one that can focus close, so in a way we get the best of both worlds – a reasonably sized camera bump and ‘macro’ shooting. The ultrawide isn’t quite Ultra-grade, but we get that – there needs to be room for all the X8 models under the sun. Sort of related, the Find X8 Pro brings a camera button – Apple did start a trend, but this one might be nicer than the iPhone’s.

The X8 Pro, along with the X8, introduces more trendy bits to the lineup, including a silicon carbon battery. Perhaps most important is the capacity, and at nearly 6,000mAh it sure makes a promise for longevity, but it should also fare better in the cold than the batteries of old. If, on the other hand, you prefer warmer environments, the Find X8 Pro can accommodate that too – its IP69 rating means it’ll survive high pressure jets with a water temperature of up to 80 degrees Celsius, because why not.

The Pro is packing the top-end Dimensity chipset this year, but even though Snapdragon Elitists may look the other way, we see no reason not to appreciate Mediatek’s rise to power in the flagship segment. A Dolby Vision-capable OLED display is a nice touch, though we’d probably prefer to be touching an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor underneath it, rather than the optical one here. Also, selfies don’t look too promising. Are we just deliberately picking on the Find X8 Pro because we’re hoping to get a global Ultra?

    Oppo Find X8 Pro unboxing

    This generation doesn’t stray far from tradition and the Find X8 Pro ships in a conventionally-sized box with a gray/graphite livery. The package contents are also the usual – the used-to-be usual, that is.
