Review

We’re reviewing the newly launched Oppo Find X8, a device that blends sleek design, solid performance, and smart AI features. As the successor to the Find X7, the Find X8 aims to stand out in 2025’s competitive flagship market.

In this in-depth review, based on hands-on use, we’ll dive into the real-world strengths and weaknesses of the Oppo Find X8 and how it stacks up against competitors like the Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16 Pro.

Design & Build

From the moment we unboxed the Oppo Find X8, the premium design stood out. It features a smooth glass front and back (Gorilla Glass 7i) with a sturdy aluminum frame. The new square camera module on the back looks refined and symmetrical, making the phone feel upscale. In our day-to-day handling, the device felt light (193g), well-balanced, and comfortable in the pocket. With IP68/IP69 certification, it didn’t make us worry about water splashes or dusty outings, a huge plus.

Display

We honestly didn’t expect the display to wow us as much as it did. The 6.59-inch AMOLED screen offers punchy colors, deep blacks, and amazing clarity thanks to its 1.5K resolution and 460 ppi density. Scrolling felt buttery smooth with the 120Hz refresh rate, and outdoors, the 4500-nit peak brightness ensured we could read emails or stream under full sunlight. Watching HDR content with Dolby Vision was a treat this panel is right up there with Samsung’s best.

Performance

We put the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip through its paces and it didn’t disappoint. Everyday tasks like switching apps, editing photos, or playing games felt seamless. In Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile, performance was consistently smooth even on max settings. Benchmarks like 2.75M on AnTuTu and 8885 on GeekBench back this up. We used the 512GB/16GB RAM model, and app loads were near-instant thanks to UFS 4.0 storage.

Camera System

We took the Oppo Find X8 on a weekend trip to really test the camera system and it delivered. The 50MP main sensor captured landscapes with stunning detail and realistic colors. The 3x periscope zoom let us snap wildlife photos without moving closer, and the ultrawide lens was perfect for beach group shots. Low-light performance was solid, too. The color tuning from Oppo’s partnership with Hasselblad gave skin tones a natural look.

Video recording in 4K at 60fps looked crisp with great dynamic range, and even the 32MP selfie cam impressed us with its 4K video support. If you’re into vlogging or social media content, this phone holds its own.

Battery & Charging

Battery life was another strong point. With a 5630mAh battery, we easily made it through a full day even with screen-on time hitting 7+ hours. Fast charging was genuinely useful: 80W wired charging took us from 0 to 65% in just about 20 minutes. 50W wireless and 10W reverse wireless charging were convenient for accessories and earbuds.

Software & AI Features

We spent time exploring ColorOS 15 on top of Android 15, and the interface felt polished. One thing we appreciated was how Oppo’s AI features weren’t just buzzwords. The live translation worked during a real-time WhatsApp call with a Spanish speaker surprisingly accurately. The smart replies popped up contextually, and AI photo cleanup made removing background distractions a one-tap affair.

The system also seemed to learn our usage habits. After a few days, we noticed smoother multitasking and less background lag. The AI-based performance optimization actually made a difference.

Connectivity & Extras

Oppo didn’t cut corners here. We had solid 5G coverage, super-fast downloads over Wi-Fi 7, and smooth connectivity with Bluetooth 5.4. Dual SIM (with eSIM support), USB-C 3.0, NFC, and even an infrared blaster added to the premium feel. The stereo speakers delivered rich sound, and we enjoyed watching Netflix and YouTube without reaching for earbuds.

Pricing

Honestly, for under $900, the Find X8 offers a flagship experience with very few compromises.

Final Thoughts

After a full week of real-world testing, we can confidently say that the Oppo Find X8 is a top-tier contender. It’s not just another pretty phone, it’s a smart, fast, and thoughtful device with the specs to back it up. While Samsung and Apple still dominate in some regions, Oppo has built a product that deserves your attention.

If you’re in the market for a 2025 flagship with excellent display, capable cameras, standout charging speeds, and useful AI the Find X8 might just be the most underrated phone you’ll try this year.
