Oppo launched the Dimensity 9400-powered Find X8 and X8 Pro towards the end of last year in China, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Find X8 Ultra finally joins the lineup in China. Of course, the naming suggests this is their best offering at present, but some of the specs (especially the camera hardware) are worth mentioning, even for a top-of-the-line 2025 flagship.
But first things first, this phone looks and feels totally different from its predecessor, as Oppo has shifted to a completely flat design. This phone also houses two new buttons: a “shortcut button” in the top left corner (replacing the OG alert slider) and a “Quick Button” on the bottom left, which also happens to function very similarly to the iPhone 16 series’ “Capture Button”. The phone packs a total of five cameras on its back, most of which feature significantly larger sensors than those on its competitors.
The rear camera setup looks like this:
- 50MP 1″ type main sensor with 1G7P lens on top that supports two-axis OIS
- 50MP 3X periscope telephoto with 1/1.56″ sensor
- 50MP 6x periscope telephoto with a 1/1/.95″ sensor
- 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 120° wide viewing angle
- 2MP True Chroma camera
Just for context, the 10MP 3x telephoto on the Galaxy S25 Ultra is tiny in comparison: 1/3.52″ as compared to 1/1.56″ of this flagship from Oppo. In fact, 1/1.56″ is the size of the main sensor on the Find X8. The 6x periscope telephoto is also noticeably larger than the 50MP 5X telephoto on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Now, you might be thinking, smartphone imaging is also largely dependent on image processing, so what about that? Generative AI has also found one use case here, and it turns out the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is also using it wisely.
The rest of the specs are equally impressive: a 6.82″ 2K LTPO AMOLED display that reaches 1600 nits of full-screen brightness and 2500 nits of local peak brightness. It sits on top of an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
Under the hood, the phone packs a 6100 mAh (vs 5910 mAh of the Find X8 Pro) high density Si/C battery, which supports 100W wired, and 50W wireless charging. All of it is protected under the IP69 dust and water resistant body. Even with the massive battery, this phone measures 8.78 mm in thickness and weighs 226 grams.
Pricing and availability:
As mentioned above, the phone is currently exclusive to China and will go on sale on April 16 in the home market. The prices for different variants are listed below:
- 12GB + 256GB: CNY 6,499 (€795, £685, INR 76,000)
