First Impressions: Sleek, Small, and Seriously Stylish
The first thing I noticed when unboxing the OPPO Find X8 Pro was just how light and luxurious it feels. It’s sleek and slim. Thinner than your iced latte straw at just 8.24mm, and surprisingly compact for a Pro model — Unlike most Pro models that feel like you’re carrying a mini tablet, this one genuinely melts into your hand, with none of that bulky, brick-in-your-pocket energy. Weighing only 215 grams, roughly the same as a chocolate bar or medium-sized apple, the casing is smooth, with a pearlescent shimmer and despite housing a powerhouse of a camera system, it never feels top-heavy or awkward to hold.
Display Goals: Bright, Bold, and Beautiful
Scrolling through socials, editing photos, or catching up on Netflix looks so good on the 6.78-inch AMOLED screen. It’s perfect for those of us glued to our phones. Sharp, responsive, and ridiculously bright — with a peak brightness of 4500 nits, you can actually see it clearly in full-on sunshine. It’s got a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate too, so whether you’re doom-scrolling or watching Reels, everything feels buttery smooth. Bonus: it’s certified by TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort, meaning it’s kind to your eyes even during those late-night TikTok sessions.
Camera: The Ultimate Event Companion
Let’s talk about the camera — because let’s be honest—this is where the Find X8 Pro really flexes. It comes with four 50MP cameras, including two separate telephoto lenses (yes, you read that right) and the magic of Hasselblad’s photography smarts baked in and the selfie camera is hands-down one of the best I’ve tried. I took the OPPO Find X8 Pro to Glitterfest to capture the party footage and the camera was nothing sort of awesome for both photos and video, easily catching every laser beam and confetti cannon. Whether you’re out raving, shooting outfit pics, or just catching sunset scenes, the results are stunning. Everything from skin tone to lighting looks polished but natural.
Even better, there’s Stage Mode with AI Telescope Zoom for concert shots — you can zoom in up to 30x and still get vivid, detailed images, even from way back or you can go even further, like Peeping Tom further with the 60X zoom with AI-powered clarity. I’m obsessed with the Hasselblad filters too—they instantly give your shots that rich, moody, editorial finish.
The phone also features IP68/IP69 water resistance (it can handle splashes and jet sprays — wild!) to the handy alert slider that lets you switch between silent, vibrate, and ring in a flash. There’s a lot of thoughtful design packed in. The 360° Surround Antenna with AI LinkBoost helps keep your signal strong even in packed venues — making it easier to upload videos at a gig.
Battery Life That Just Goes On (and On)
Don’t let the slim design fool you. Inside is a 5910mAh battery that lasts all day and then some, like those energiser bunnies. I managed a full day out—photos, 4K video, music, Insta, the lot—and still had juice left the next morning. You can buy the 80W SUPERVOOC wired charger for maximum charging speed or the 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging (with Mag support), so you’re never out of action for long.
If you’re looking for a flagship phone that doesn’t feel like a tablet in disguise, the OPPO Find X8 Pro might be the one for you. I truly like this phone, it’s a lifestyle all-rounder — amazing camera, stunning screen, smooth UI, and serious power — all wrapped in a sleek, hand-friendly design that doesn’t weigh you down. Trust me, whether you’re out snapping content, juggling a busy day, or just want something that works and looks good — this phone fits into your life effortlessly.
