Weekly poll: Will Oppo Find X8 or Find X8 Pro be your next phone? | Infinium-tech

Things are heating up in the flagship space as Oppo has unveiled the Find X8 series. These are flagships with a specific focus on cameras (with the help of Hasselblad). A camera shutter key and alert slider also return this year (both on the Pro model only).

The Oppo Find X8 Pro is not a direct sequel to the Find X7 Ultra (the X8 Ultra may arrive later). So, instead of a curved display, it has a nearly flat micro-quad-curved 6.78” LTPO panel (1264p+, 120Hz, 10-bit color). It is powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset and a massive 5,910mAh battery (with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging).

The main camera features a 50MP 1/1.4” LYT-808 sensor, which is larger than the one that comes with the vanilla X8. Additionally, there’s a 3x tele and a 120° ultra-wide. The Pro model also has a periscope lens – 135 mm (6x). All cameras have 50MP sensors.

The Oppo Find X8 is smaller than both the X8 Pro and the X7. Note: small, not small. It has a 6.59” display, after all, another LTPO panel (120Hz, 10-bit). This model is powered by the Dimensity 9400 and an impressive 5,630mAh battery (80W wired, 50W wireless charging). As mentioned above, the triple 50MP cameras (main, 3x tele and ultra-wide) include a smaller sensor on the main, but the 3x and ultra-wide modules are identical. The big difference is the lack of a periscope lens on it.

The Find X7 was a bit of a disappointment due to its IP65 dust and water resistance rating. This year Oppo went all out and both X8 models are given IP68 and IP69 ratings (the latter for resistance against hot water jets, if you want to wash your phone more aggressively).

Oppo Find X8 series

The Oppo Find X8 Pro starts at CNY 5,300 ($745) for the 12/256GB model, while the base price of the Oppo Find

Let’s take a look at some of the competition. The sale of Vivo X200 and X200 Pro started last week. The vanilla model is CNY 4,300 for the 12/256GB model, which essentially matches the X8. The X200 series also uses the Dimensity 9400 and is IP68/IP69 rated. The vanilla Its camera setup is equal to Find X8. The battery is larger at 5,800mAh, but only supports wired charging (90W).

The Vivo X200 Pro for a 12/256GB phone is CNY 5,300 (matches the X8 Pro). It has an LTPO display and while there is no second tele module, the 3.7x lens on it is backed by an impressive 200MP sensor for extra zoom. The 6,000mAh battery supports both 90W wired and 30W wireless charging.

Vivo X200 • Vivo X200 Pro • Vivo X200 Pro Mini

There’s also a Vivo X200 Pro Mini (CNY 4,700 for 12/256GB), which launches this Friday. It’s basically a scaled down version of the Pro. With a 6.31” LTPO display, it measures 71.8 mm in width and weighs 187 grams. The battery is a bit smaller but still powerful at 5,700mAh (90W/30W charging). The only real downfall here is that the tele camera has a 3x lens and a 50MP sensor.

We don’t know which Vivo X200 models will be available globally, but Oppo has confirmed that the Find X8 series will be widely available. There is a version of the Find X8 Pro with satellite communications, but it is unlikely to be available outside China.

The OnePlus 13 will be unveiled on October 31 (Thursday) and is confirmed to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, plus triple 50MP cameras, including the same LYT-808 sensor as the Find X8 Pro. However, there is no information about the price yet.

Snapdragon 8 Elite powered phones are coming

There is also the Xiaomi 15 series (with Snapdragon 8 Elite), which will be officially unveiled on October 29. The Honor Magic7 series (coming next week) is also confirmed to use a Qualcomm chip, as is the Realme GT7 Pro (coming later this month).

We don’t have the full picture of what Xiaomi, Honor and Realme are doing, but as we said in the opening paragraph, things are heating up in the flagship space.

But going back to Oppo phones, how do you feel about getting the Oppo Find X8 Pro?
