Oppo Find X8 review – GSMArena.com tests | Infinium-tech

Introduction

Oppo is probably preparing for a bigger Find Today, we have the sidekick to the Pro model – the regular Find X8. However, this is regular in name only, as it is actually an excellent smartphone with a balanced spec sheet.

With a 6.59-inch display, the Find X8 is physically smaller than the Find X8 Pro. The smaller body also means a smaller battery – 5,630 mAh. That’s still plenty of capacity, and we have silicon carbon battery chemistry to thank for it. The benefits of the new battery technology also include better longevity and better behavior in cold conditions.

Then there are the cameras. The regular Find X8 still has a very versatile setup, including a telephoto plus an ultrawide, but the hardware here is less powerful than the Find X8 Pro. Some sensors have been downgraded, and perhaps most importantly, the Pro model’s second telephoto is nowhere to be found. The iPhone-inspired camera key is also notably absent.

When you look at it in itself the Find X8 is still an excellent and very well-equipped device. It’s exquisitely crafted with an aluminum frame and toughened glass on the back and front, as well as an impressive IP68/IP69 ingress protection rating. As mentioned, the display is still excellent and uses a bright AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision certification, and a fairly high resolution.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about the Find X8 is that, like its Pro sibling, it doesn’t make any compromises in terms of performance. Sure, Qualcomm-loyalists may not appreciate this option, but there’s no denying that the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 is a beast of a chip. It can be paired with anywhere between 256GB and 1TB of fast UFS 4.0 storage.

An excellent chipset includes features like excellent connectivity, Wi-Fi 7 support (though only dual-band), Bluetooth 5.4 with advanced audio codecs, and fully stacked location services. You also get fast 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Before we move on, let’s take a look at the retail package of the Oppo Find X8. The phone comes in a simple silver cardboard package with black writing. The material is thick and sturdy, and there’s a plastic cradle inside the phone.

The Find X8’s accessory package is quite impressive by modern standards. You get a charger and a white, relatively short USB Type-A to Type-C cable. Additionally, you will also get a very nice, soft and transparent TPU case for the phone, so you can start using it right away.

It is worth noting that in Europe the Find X8 and X8 Pro come without a charger in the box.
