Pros: Brilliant display | Stellar cameras | Long-lasting battery | Durable build
Cons: Comes with preloaded apps | Limited colour choices
After a long wait, OPPO has finally revived its premium Find X series in India, and the brand clearly has its sights set on Samsung, Apple, and Google. The OPPO Find X8 Pro, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC, is being pitched as a camera-first flagship—but does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive in.
Verdict in a Nutshell
The OPPO Find X8 Pro is easily one of the best premium smartphones you can buy right now. Its cameras, battery, and display are top-notch, making it a powerhouse for content creators and multimedia lovers. The size might be overwhelming for those who prefer compact phones, and the presence of bloatware feels out of place at this price, but overall, this is a serious flagship contender.
Design & Display
Like its predecessors, the Find X8 Pro has a big, bold design. The phone looks premium with its metal-glass finish, quad-curved screen, and massive circular camera bump. Compared to rivals like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, OPPO’s design is slightly slimmer, lighter, and more durable—thanks to IP-rated dust and water resistance.
The phone packs a 6.78-inch AMOLED 120Hz display with 4,500 nits peak brightness. Watching movies on Netflix with Dolby Vision and HDR support was a treat, and the loud stereo speakers made the experience even better. OPPO has also added a quirky take on Apple’s Dynamic Island with its punch-hole camera cutout.
Cameras: Built for Photography Lovers
The showstopper here is the quad 50MP camera setup co-engineered with Hasselblad. There’s also a 32MP selfie camera on the front.
- Photos have a warm, vibrant tone that flatters portraits and skin tones.
- Low-light shots are detailed and dramatic, without unnecessary noise.
- The dual telephoto lenses (3x and 6x equivalent) with OIS deliver crisp zoomed-in images. Even shots beyond 10x zoom hold surprisingly well.
- AI tools like Enhance Clarity (similar to Pixel’s Unblur) and Remove Reflections add extra flexibility for editing on the go.
Videos can be shot in 4K60fps with ultra-stability mode. While performance is smooth overall, occasional frame drops and slightly warm tones in video may put off perfectionists.
Performance & Software
The Find X8 Pro is the first phone with Dimensity 9400, paired with Android 15-based ColorOS 15. Everyday performance is fluid, and OPPO’s AI features—like auto-summarisation and AI writing tools—make it a productivity-friendly flagship.
Battery & Charging
One of the highlights of this phone is its 5,910mAh battery with silicon-carbon tech that reduces heating and improves longevity. In real-world use, the phone easily lasts more than a day on balanced mode, and even with heavy use, you won’t need a midday recharge.
Final Verdict
The OPPO Find X8 Pro delivers where it matters most—camera, display, and battery. If you love photography and binge-watching content on a large screen, this is one of the best Android flagships you can buy today.
Sure, the Pixel 9 Pro offers cleaner software, and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra might tempt you with discounts, but OPPO’s focus on AI-powered productivity and imaging tools gives the Find X8 Pro a clear edge right now.
Bottom line: A no-brainer for camera lovers and power users—if you can handle its big size.
