Oppo’s Find X8 Pro charts a bold new course in premium smartphones, distinguishing itself with an ambitious quad-camera system where others use three. This innovative approach to mobile photography, combined with its stunning display and powerful performance, sets a new standard for what a flagship phone can be.
But before we delve into its impressive imaging capabilities, let’s take a closer look at what makes this device stand out in an increasingly crowded market.
First Impressions
Pick up the Find X8 Pro, and you’ll immediately notice its premium feel. The Pearl White version is particularly striking, with a subtle shimmer that catches the light differently on each phone, making your device truly one-of-a-kind. Available also in Space Black for those preferring a more classic look, both versions feature a sophisticated multi-layer texture that adds depth to the design.
Despite housing an impressive array of cameras and technology, the phone remains surprisingly slim at just 8.24mm—about the thickness of a pencil. Oppo has even managed to reduce the camera bump, making it more comfortable to slip into a pocket or evening bag.
A Screen That Draws You In
The large 6.78in display curves gently at all four edges, creating an almost borderless screen that makes everything, from photos to videos, look more immersive. During our time testing the phone in Bali, the screen remained perfectly visible even under the brightest tropical sun, a crucial feature for those who are always on the move.
Whether you’re watching your favourite Netflix series or reviewing photos from your latest adventure, the display delivers rich colours and sharp details that make every interaction feel premium and engaging.
Reinventing Mobile Photography
Where the Find X8 Pro truly sets itself apart is its camera system. Instead of the usual three cameras, Oppo has equipped this phone with four equally powerful lenses. Think of it as carrying a complete camera kit in your pocket—from ultra-wide shots perfect for landscapes to impressive zoom capabilities that can capture detailed photos of distant subjects. The system is so versatile that, during our testing, we found ourselves able to capture everything, from sweeping beach vistas to detailed shots of traditional Balinese architecture—from across the street.
The phone introduces a clever new feature called Lightning Snap, which makes it effortless to capture those fleeting moments—like a child’s first cartwheel or your pet’s playful leap—letting you choose the perfect shot from a series of crystal-clear images. A new dedicated camera button (called the Quick Button) means you’ll never miss a moment, launching the camera in less than half a second with just a double-press. For those who love taking photos at concerts or performances, there’s even a special Stage Mode that helps capture clear shots even from a distance.
Power When You Need It
Battery life is where many premium phones fall short, but the Find X8 Pro excels. Its advanced silicon-carbon battery technology provides exceptional longevity. During our intensive testing in Bali, filled with photo shoots and social media sharing, the phone easily lasted through long days without needing a recharge.
Even with heavy use capturing videos and GPS navigation around the island, we consistently ended our days with around 30 per cent battery remaining. When you do need to power it up, it’s remarkably quick—just 30 minutes of charging gives you enough battery for a full day. Oppo even includes a fast charger in the box, something that’s becoming increasingly rare in premium phones. There’s also wireless charging available for added convenience.
The Final Word
The Find X8 Pro exemplifies attention to detail in every aspect—from its unique pearlescent finish and practical alert slider, to its industry-leading water resistance that protects against both rain and hot water jets. It’s a device that delivers excellence across photography, display quality, and battery life, while maintaining sophisticated practicality. For those who appreciate refined technology that enhances daily life without complexity, the Find X8 Pro stands as a compelling choice in the premium smartphone segment.
