Top 5 alternatives to Oppo Find X8: More value for the same price

Oppo Find X8 is an impressive flagship smartphone, featuring great hardware, premium design, and feature-rich software — all at a starting price of INR 69,999. It’s a compelling choice for sure, but not the only showstopper in this price range. We’ve found five great alternatives to the Oppo Find X8 that outshines the device in one or more ways.

1. OnePlus 13

The OnePlus 13 (long-term review) has a slightly bigger screen at 6.82 inches (versus 6.59 inches).

Additionally, it features Ceramic Guard glass for display protection.

The smartphone rocks a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, offering slightly better gaming performance than the Dimensity 9400 on the Find X8. Software-wise, the Find X8 Pro is a step ahead with an extra Android upgrade. Both phones ship with Android 16 out of the box.

OnePlus 13 features a triple camera setup, all with 50MP sensors: a primary sensor with OIS, a periscope telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens with a 120˚ field of view. The front gets a 32MP snapper. While both phones support 4K recording from the front, the OnePlus 13 can record up to 8K from the rear. It also excels in battery capacity and charging speed.

The camera system includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 10MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultrawide shooter. The selfie camera is 12MP with 4K video support, and the rear setup can record up to 8K. The battery and charging speed are underwhelming, but there’s a reason for it (read here).

The Galaxy S25 features an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which is more secure, faster, and reliable than the optical fingerprint method commonly used by most smartphones, including the Oppo Find X8. The device also offers longer software support.

The camera system includes three 50MP sensors (primary, telephoto, and ultrawide) with 8K video capability. The 32MP front camera supports up to 4K video. Other aspects of the phone, such as connectivity features, battery capacity and charging speeds are flagship-grade, too.

5. Google Pixel 9

The Pixel 9 also secures a place on this list, not because of its hardware but for a great Android experience and software optimizations. When compared to the Oppo Find X8, the Pixel 9’s screen is a little shorter and features lower peak brightness, but has a stronger Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on both sides.

The Tensor G4 chipset may not match the raw performance of the Dimensity 9400 or Snapdragon 8 Elite, but it’s more than capable for daily use. You also get seven years of Android updates. Plus, the fact that Pixels are usually the first phones to get the latest OS makes it sweeter.

Unlike others, it lacks a telephoto camera but still manages to deliver excellent image quality. The device has an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and a decent battery with decent fast charging support.

Google Pixel 9 specs:

• Display: 6.3″ OLED, 1080 x 2424 pixels resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 2700nits brightness (peak), Gorilla Glass Victus 2
