As expected, Oppo announced the global availability of its latest flagships, the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro. Along with the global launch of the Find X8 Series, Oppo debuted ColorOS 15, its take on Android 15, the latest version of Google’s operating system.
Besides featuring a premium and durable design, with rich glass and aluminum construction, the Oppo Find X8 Series comes with exceptional cameras. These phones introduce Oppo’s brand-new Hasselblad Master Camera System, which includes ultra-beating zoom and the latest AI-powered capabilities.
The Find X8 and Find X8 Pro come with all-50 MP cameras, with Find X8’s combination including a 15 mm (0.6x), 24 mm (1x), and 73 mm (3x) periscope camera mix, while the Find X8 Pro has a quad-camera, adding a 135 mm (6x) periscope camera for better zoom and a larger 23 mm wide-angle camera sensor.

For the first time, both top-tier phones feature Oppo’s triple prism periscope camera with a flagship 50-megapixel, 1/1.95-inch Sony LYT600 sensor, capturing superior low-light photos and video despite its compact size. It’s also worth mentioning that Find X8 Pro is Oppo’s first globally available phone to feature two periscope cameras.
The Find X8 Series benefits from Hasselblad Portrait Mode, a great pairing with the periscope cameras. Oppo’s flagships also introduce a new Lightning Snap feature, which allows users to capture a burst of photos at up to seven frames per second with a long press of the shutter button without compromising image processing.
With Lightning Snap, each frame looks like a dedicated still image, taking full advantage of Oppo’s HyperTone Image Engine. Additionally, Find X8 Pro users can access Lightning Snap by using the Quick Button, a touch-sensitive strip on its right side that can quickly launch the camera and control zoom.

Aside from their state-of-the-art camera systems, the Find X8 and Find X8 pro can record Dolby Vision HDR video at up to 4K resolution, 60fps from all cameras, including the front camera. The flagships also take advantage of Oppo’s Livephoto feature, which means each video frame can be turned into a potential photo.
Moving on to one of the most important parts of a smartphone, the display, Oppo didn’t make any compromises when it comes to quality and efficiency. The vanilla Find X8 comes with a 6.59-inch display, while the Find X8 Pro has a slightly bigger 6.78-inch Infinite View Display.

The main difference between the two panels is that one is flat, while the other is curved. However, each phone features a super-smooth 120 Hz refresh rate and up to 1600 nits peak brightness for easy outdoor viewing. When playing back HDR content, the phones beam at up to 4500 nits, and the ProXDR displays support the Ultra HDR standard.
Furthermore, the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro have the thinnest bezels of any Oppo phone, with the former being symmetrical on all sides at just 1.45 mm. The Pro model’s visually symmetrical 1.9 mm bezel is also ultra-slim, with the larger size and quad-curved glass making it look astonishingly stylish.
Both Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are IP68 and IP69 dust and water-resistant, able to withstand being submerged in 1.5m of water for 30 minutes and jet sprays of water up to 80 degrees Celsius. The vanilla model also adds Swiss SGS and Military Grade certification, tested to whole-phone drop resistance and MGJB 150.18A MIL-STD impact standards.
When it comes to hardware, Oppo decided to team up with MediaTek to include the powerful Dimensity 9400 chipset inside both Find X8 phones. This particular chipset promises to deliver 35 percent faster CPU and 41 percent faster GPU (graphics processing unit) performance. Also, the Dimensity 9400 SoC (system-on-chip) features a 40 percent more efficient CPU, a 44 percent more efficient GPU, while AI tasks use 35 percent less power.
As far as the battery goes, the Find X8 uses a 5,360 mAh battery, while the Pro model is powered by a larger 5,910 mAh battery. Both batteries feature support for 80W Oppo SUPERVOOC fast charging technology. They also come with support for 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging.

Both Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro will be available for purchase starting November 23. We're still waiting for Oppo to confirm the pricing info, but the Find X8 Pro has already been listed in the UK for £1049 ($1325 / €1260). In India, the vanilla Find X8 costs Rs 69,999 ($830 / €785), while the Find X8 Pro is available for Rs 79,999 ($945 / €900), so there's a huge difference depending on region.
