Oppo Find X8 Pro Review | A formidable competitor in premium segment

The Find X8 Pro is a bold step forward in Oppo’s flagship journey, offering a good mix of premium design, cutting-edge technology, and innovative features

What was once considered a benchmark in the flagship range has completely been revamped. The reason? Every company introduces something new in its flagship model segment, positioning itself as unique. Oppo continues this trend with its latest launch of Oppo Find X8 Pro. Priced at ₹99,999, the new Find X8 Pro comes powered by the high-end MediaTek processor, which is Dimensity 9400. The newness that the phone has is an extra control ‘button’, as in the latest iPhone 16 series. Let’s find out what’s new with the Oppo Find X8 Pro!

The design of the new Oppo Find X8 Pro straightaway gives the impression of a premium and camera-centric phone due to the circular camera frame. However, the Pearl White shade looks more stunning. The phone feels light in hand, which adds more to the premium feel. Oppo has used Armor Shield construction on both the front and back, ensuring not only durability but also adds to the phone’s visual appeal, with its matte finish exuding understated elegance.

Oppo has paid close attention to ergonomics with the placement of its ports and buttons. The power button and the volume rockers, along with the capacitive Quick Button, are located on the right edge. The left side carries an alert slider - a good addition just like the OnePlus phones. At the bottom, you’ll find a USB-C port, two mics, a speaker grille, and a dual-SIM tray. The top side features an IR emitter along with two mics.

The front side of the phone is all display with just a punch hole on the top carrying the selfie camera censor. The fingerprint sensor is inbuilt within the display, which is very quick to respond.

The phone also features IP68 certification, allowing it to withstand submersion in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. The IP69 rating goes a step further, protecting it from high-pressure water jets at temperatures as high as 80°C. Adding to its rugged credentials, the device is Swiss SGS certified for whole-phone drop resistance and MIL-STD MGJB 150.18A certified for impact resistance.

The Oppo Find X8 Pro features a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2760×1256 pixels and a pixel density of 460 ppi, offering clear and detailed visuals. With a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate, it dynamically adjusts based on usage, from 1 Hz for static content to 120 Hz for smoother interactions, aiming to balance performance and power efficiency. Brightness levels are notable, reaching 800 nits typical, 1600 nits in high-brightness mode, and up to 4,500 nits for localised HDR highlights, ensuring readability across different lighting conditions.
