Design
If you are not a fan of large smartphones, the size of the Oppo Find X8 Pro might seem a bit intimidating. But I personally found it comfortable to hold and use. Whether it’s binge-watching my favorite shows or scrolling reels endlessly, that big screen feels just perfect.
The unit I reviewed was the White variant and honestly, it’s my favorite of the two options. It has this classy and marble-like rear panel that looks premium and elegant. However, I can’t help but wish Oppo had added more color options, as Google and Apple do a great job with their flagship products.
The Find X8 Pro, however, share some design resemblance with the OnePlus 13, like the large circular camera module and a quad-curved display. But Oppo takes a more practical route. It’s noticeably thinner and lighter. It also has an IP69 rating, that means, it’s practically indestructible when it comes to water and dust. The Quick Button that is inspired by the iPhone 16’s Camera Control button is a great addition.
And let’s not forget the Alert Slider from OnePlus flagships, sitting beautifully on the left side of the phone. Switching between ring, vibrate, and silent modes has never been smoother. On the right, you’ve got the volume rockers, power button, and that Quick Button, all within easy reach.
All in all, the Oppo Find X8 Pro strikes a balance between style, durability, and practicality. The smartphone proves that flagship phones can look great and handle everyday life like a pro.
Display
The Oppo Find X8 Pro has a 6.78-inch quad-curved AMOLED display which looks stunning. With its balanced slim bezels, the screen delivers a sleek and almost bezel-less look that feels thoroughly modern. The 2,780 x 1,264 pixel resolution offers sharp visuals while HDR10+ and Dolby Vision ensure vibrant colors and decent contrast.
However, the curved edges are purely aesthetic and can cause some annoying reflections when viewing content outdoors. Despite this, the overall experience is immersive, thanks to punchy visuals and loud stereo speakers that make movies and shows come alive. Whether binge-watching during a long journey or scrolling endlessly, this display ensures every moment looks and feels premium.

Performance
Under the hood, the Oppo Find X8 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. It comes with a 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. From gaming to multimedia editing, this device can perform super-fast.
While most AI features rely on the cloud, leading to a slight delay at times, this is more about software design than hardware limitations. The phone is decent in handling processor and graphics intensive applications with minimal lags. Even during long gaming or video editing sessions, performance remains smooth. Though there was a slight noticeable heating during resource-heavy tasks. However, it never hinders usability.
On the software front, ColorOS 15 based on Android 15 delivers a polished experience. Its revamped UI is sleek and user-friendly. The integrated AI features add a layer of convenience without being overbearing. Overall, the Find X8 Pro is a powerhouse that doesn’t disappoint.
Camera
The Oppo Find X8 Pro completely transforms smartphone photography with its four 50MP sensors on the back. Without any doubt, the primary 50MP Sony Lytia LYT-808 sensor with OIS is the star of the show. It captures vibrant, detail-packed images in any lighting condition.
Complementing the primary sensor is a 50MP telephoto lens that offers 3x optical zoom and another 50MP telephoto lens with an impressive 6x optical zoom. The latter stands out in a market where such zoom capabilities are rare. It delivers sharp, detailed shots even at higher zoom levels.
It’s super easy to zoom in with the Find X8 Pro. The 6x zoom works incredibly well. Even the results of the 15x optical zoom are social media-worthy. However, the AI Telephoto Zoom mode isn’t perfect, nonetheless it does a decent job of outlining shapes and text at extreme zoom ranges.
The ultrawide 50MP camera is another standout. It mostly outperforms most competitors in both daylight and low-light scenarios. Portrait photography is equally impressive, thanks to Oppo’s partnership with Hasselblad. The dynamic range, natural skin tones, and vibrant colors make for stunning portraits.
Low-light performance is where the primary sensor shines. It delivers sharp, noise-free images with great details. Indoor shots under artificial lighting are vibrant and color-accurate.
On the video front, the Find X8 Pro excels with 4K recording at 60fps on both front and rear cameras. Videos are sharp, stable, and true-to-life with a range of creative tools for those who like to experiment.
Overall, the Oppo Find X8 Pro’s camera system is a masterpiece. With Hasselblad’s expertise, this phone is a dream come true for mobile photography enthusiasts. Whether you’re zooming in on distant subjects or capturing cinematic videos, the Find X8 Pro does it all with finesse.
Battery
If battery life tops your priority list, the Oppo Find X8 Pro won’t disappoint. It is powered by a 5,910mAh silicon-carbon battery. During my usage, the phone easily lasted over a day on balanced performance mode. With lighter usage, you can expect even better longevity.
Fast charging is another win here. The 80W wired charging takes the phone from 8 percent to 100 percent in an hour with the included charger. Additionally, the phone supports 50W AirVOOC wireless charging for added convenience. Overall, the Find X8 Pro is a perfect choice for a great battery life and quick charging capabilities.
