Over the past four weeks, I’ve been using the OPPO Find X8 Series as my daily driver. And let me tell you: the OPPO Find X8 series is redefining what it means to be a premium flagship smartphone.
Combining sleek minimalistic design with cutting-edge technology, it offers a ProXDR display, a best-in-class camera system loaded with AI-powered innovations, and exceptional battery performance—all within an impressively slim profile.
But does it truly live up to the hype? Is it the ultimate flagship smartphone worth upgrading to? After testing the device extensively over the past few weeks, here’s why I believe the OPPO Find X8 Series sets a new standard for premium user experience.
Design: Everything’s Perfect
OPPO has struck the perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality with the Find X8 series. At just 8.2mm thick and 215g for the Pro model (and an even sleeker 7.98mm and 193g for the standard model), these devices are among the thinnest and lightest in their class.
The sleek profile makes them comfortable to hold and use all day, despite the weight, which is perfectly balanced. The design isn’t just about size, though. It’s also about aesthetics and comfort.
The Cosmos Ring Camera Design integrates seamlessly into the minimalist aesthetic, ensuring the camera bump doesn’t protrude. Thanks to OPPO’s innovative Triple Prism Design, the series fits dual periscope telephoto lenses into a slim housing without compromising sensor size or camera quality.
Flagship phones often compromise durability for aesthetics, but the OPPO Find X8 series offers the best of both worlds. It comes with both IP68 and IP69 certifications, making them ready for life’s unpredictable moments. Whether it’s accidental spills, splashes, or minor drops, the Find X8 series can handle it all.
Display: A Visual Feast
The Infinite View ProXDR display on the OPPO Find X8 series is nothing short of breathtaking. With industry-leading thin bezel sizes of just 1.45mm on the standard model and 1.9mm on the Pro, the devices offer a true edge-to-edge viewing experience. The Pro model’s display is quad-curved, which adds to the premium experience.
Colors are vibrant, contrast levels are sharp, and the 1~120Hz refresh rate ensures everything is ultra-smooth. Whether you’re binge-watching content in Dolby Vision, gaming, or simply browsing, the display delivers an immersive and smooth experience.
The thin bezels paired with OPPO’s advanced ProXDR tech make this one of the best screens I’ve ever used on a smartphone. The colors are vibrant, the screen is sharp and it’s bright—so bright that you’ll never feel like needing more brightness even in the harshest sunlight conditions.
Camera: New Zoom King in Your Pocket
The OPPO Find X8 Pro is the ultimate Zoom King. Its zooming capabilities have outperformed competitors. With unmatched optical and digital zoom capabilities that redefine mobile photography, the OPPO Find X8 Series is setting a new benchmark in smartphone camera technology. The devices capture intricate details, even at extreme zoom ranges, compared to leading competitors.
With AI Telescope Zoom the OPPO Find X8 and the Find X8 Pro offer crisp clarity even at 10x and beyond—up to 120x. I was amazed to see the level of detail at such high magnifications.

The Hasselblad Quad Master Camera System on the OPPO Find X8 Series is undoubtedly its crown jewel. With dual periscope telephoto lenses, 15mm to 300mm focal length, AI-powered features, and advanced imaging technologies, the cameras deliver stunning results in every scenario.
The 50 MP Sony LYT 808 sensor (1/1.4-inch) with f/1.6 aperture and OISexcels in all conditions. Daylight shots pop with vibrant colors and incredible detail, while low-light photography is equally impressive, thanks to minimal noise and optimal exposure.
The 50 MP Sony IMX882 sensor with a 73mm focal length on both phones performs exceptionally in both daylight and low light. In short, you will not be disappointed with the performance of the 3x lens.
The 50 MP Sony IMX858 sensor with a 135mm focal length on the OPPO Find X8 Pro delivers unmatched clarity and detail, even at extreme zoom levels. The f/4.3 aperture is perfect for taking those tele macro shots.
The 50 MP ultra-wide sensor with a 120° FOV on both phones captures expansive landscapes with exceptional detail. The 32 MP front camera guarantees stunning selfies with vibrant colors, accurate facial details, and excellent HDR. Lightning Snap captures split-second moments without delay. It has helped me capture shots like never before—moving birds, airplanes, and whatnot.
2-DOL HDR produces perfectly balanced images in challenging lighting conditions. The OPPO Find X8 Pro also supports Dolby Vision video from all cameras, which allows you to shoot unmatched cinema-quality videos straight from your phone.
The Hasselblad Portrait Mode provides stunning results with natural skin tones, precise edge detection, and eye-pleasing bokeh. With multiple focal lengths (23 mm to 135 mm), you can compose perfect portraits tailored to every scene. Film simulations and soft light options like Misty and Glowing further refine your shots.
For the Pro photography enthusiasts, the Master Mode gives you full manual control with RAW Auto and RAW Pro options. Adjust ISO, shutter speed, and focus, or let the Auto Mode handle the details while you explore other settings like sharpness and contrast.
During my review, I tested the camera across various scenarios—nightscapes, wildlife shots, and portraits—and the results were nothing short of incredible. OPPO’s HyperTone Image Engine enhances colors and dynamic range, making every shot pop. It’s truly a professional camera in my pocket.
Blazing Fast Performance with MediaTek Dimensity 9400
Under the hood, the OPPO Find X8 series is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor, which ensures blazing-fast performance. Its unique all-big-core architecture ensures peak speeds and unmatched efficiency, with the 3.63 GHz Cortex-X925 core leading the charge.
You can pair the OPPO Find X8 series with 12/16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and lightning-fast UFS 4.0 storage, which enables it to handle anything you throw at it. In real-world usage, the Find X8 Pro is a beast. Whether it’s multitasking, rendering videos, or playing graphically intensive games, it performs without breaking a sweat.
Gaming enthusiasts will be thrilled by its capabilities. Titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail run at the highest settings with an average FPS close to 60. Even demanding games like COD: Warzone Mobile deliver smooth gameplay with minimal heat and impressive power efficiency.
What truly sets the Find X8 Pro apart is its consistent performance under pressure. It handles sustained tasks with ease, thanks to its advanced cooling system. Throttling is minimal, ensuring stable output even during extended gaming sessions or heavy workloads.
Battery Life: Big Power in a Slim Profile
One of the standout achievements of the OPPO Find X8 series is its Silicon Carbon battery technology—allowing for large batteries in a slimmer profile that translates to a great in-hand feel. The OPPO Find X8 has a 5,630mAh battery while the Find X8 Pro has a 5,910mAh one. Both models easily last a full day of use, whether you’re gaming, streaming, or taking photos.
Both devices are supported by 80W SUPERVOOC charging and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging. There’s also support for reverse wired and wireless charging. In essence, I never had to worry about battery or charging with the OPPO Find X8 series.
Moreover, the reduced battery size (not capacity) also allows room for additional features like an Alert Slider,aQuickButton (on the Pro), and an IR blaster, making the devices even more functional without compromising battery performance.
