Oppo Find X8 and X8 Pro announced – Dimensity 9400 and impressive cameras | Infinium-tech
Oppo recently announced its Find X8 flagship phones at a dedicated event in China, and they are shaping up to be a contender for phone of the year. Oppo is going with a redesigned look this year with the Find X8 Pro followed by a more compact Find X8.
The Find X8 brings a 6.59-inch flat LTPO OLED with FHD+ resolution and 1-120Hz refresh rate.
The Find
Both panels are rated at 1,600 nits maximum global brightness and 4,500 nits maximum local brightness for HDR content. You also get a 32MP selfie cam and optical fingerprint scanner.
And now, the most interesting new addition – let’s talk cameras.
Oppo is introducing its most versatile camera system yet with the Find X8 series, and it starts with the Cosmos Ring design for the camera island. It is significantly smaller than the outgoing Find X7 generation and has impressive hardware.
The Find It is paired with a 15mm equivalent 50MP ultrawide module (ISOCELL HN5) with autofocus. The third shooter is a 73mm 3x Periscope equipped with an IMX882 sensor (1/1.95” size) with OIS. It uses a triple prism design that takes up less space than a standard periscope lens.
The larger form factor of the Find X8 Pro allowed Oppo to add a second 50MP periscope lens with 6x optical zoom. It uses IMX858 1/2.51” sensor size with f/4.3 aperture and OIS.
The 50MP 3x telephoto and ultrawide sensors are carried over from the standard Find X8, while the main 50MP shooter gets a larger 1/1.4” LYT-808 sensor.
Find X8 Pro Camera Samples
Both phones also feature Oppo’s Hypertone image engine. It merges 9 RAW frames into each photo for class-leading clarity and dynamic range while reducing noise and artefacts. The Hasselblad Portrait mode is also present, and Oppo is also adding a new LivePhoto option, which captures short videos before and after you capture an image.
The Pro model also gets a dedicated camera button, which Oppo calls a “quick button”. It can launch the camera app with a double press, serve as a dedicated shutter and also allows you to zoom in and zoom out shots. Oppo is also bringing back its alert slider button.
Find X8 series is the first phone from Oppo to be launched with Dimensity 9400 chipset. The chip is paired with a new cooling system consisting of a graphite layer, vapor chamber and thermally conductive gel inserted directly onto the motherboard.
Both phones will boot the recently announced ColorOS 15, which brings a number of AI features along with a redesigned look.
