Sleek Design and Premium Build of Oppo Find X8 Ultra

Oppo Find X8 Ultra has a clean and stylish design. It doesn’t use the old two-tone look anymore. Instead, it looks smooth and modern, just like the new Find X8 Pro.

Phone has glass on the front and back, and the sides are made of metal. The front glass is tough and protects the screen from scratches and drops. The back has a soft finish that doesn’t show fingerprints easily.

Oppo made this phone strong and waterproof. It has top ratings (IP68 and IP69) for water and dust protection. It also passed a drop test with a 5-star score.

The phone comes in three colors: Matte Black, Pure White, and Shell Pink. The pink one changes a bit depending on the light, which looks cool.

The screen has very thin borders, and there’s a small hole for the 32MP selfie camera. The speaker is hidden at the top and works with the bottom one to give stereo sound.

There is also a fingerprint scanner under the screen. It’s fast and works even when your fingers are a little wet.

On the back, the camera part is big and round. It has four 50MP cameras and a small hidden sensor called True Chroma, which helps take better, more colorful photos.

The phone also has a flash, extra microphones, an IR blaster, and useful buttons. There’s a shortcut button and a camera button, like on iPhones. Oppo even added some iPhone-style animations.

The Find X8 Ultra is a big but not too thick phone. It feels strong, is easy to hold, and doesn’t get dirty easily. It also has good weight balance.

Oppo Find X8 Ultra looks nice, feels premium, and is built to last.

Display, Battery Performance, Fast Charging and Sound Quality of Oppo Find X8 Ultra

Oppo Find X8 Ultra has a big 6.82-inch OLED screen with sharp and colorful visuals. It has a high resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate that changes depending on what you’re doing. The screen supports HDR and Dolby Vision for better picture quality. It can get very bright—up to 2,500 nits—but in tests, it reached around 1,157 nits.

The phone has a large 6,100mAh battery that lasts a long time. It can run for about 14.5 hours with regular use, which is really good for a high-end phone. Compared to other phones, the X8 Ultra does better in everyday use, web browsing, and watching videos.

With 100W SuperVOOC charging, the Find X8 Ultra charges extremely fast. It takes just 5 minutes to reach 25%, 15 minutes for 58%, and 30 minutes to get 94%. The phone fully charges in around 37 minutes. Additionally, it supports 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

Oppo Find X8 Ultra features a dual speaker setup. The top speaker handles left-channel audio, while the bottom one delivers the right-channel audio. This stereo system produces clear, loud sound with good bass and well-balanced vocals, earning a “Good” loudness score in testing.

Software and performance of Oppo Find X8 Ultra

Oppo Find X8 Ultra runs on Android 15 with ColorOS 15. It should get 5 years of Android updates and 6 years of security updates.

ColorOS 15 has a few design changes, like a new quick settings menu with a “Now Playing” widget. Some icons have been updated, and the settings menu looks cleaner, but it works the same.

Oppo has made ColorOS look more like iOS to attract iPhone users. It has similar features, like Dynamic Island animations and the camera button style. You can even send files to iPhones using the O+ Connect app, like AirDrop.

ColorOS also has many AI features. Instead of Google’s Gemini, the Chinese version uses Breeno AI. Features like AI Writer, AI Search, and AI VoiceScribe work like Google’s AI. There’s also AI Eraser to remove things from photos.

The Smart Sidebar is still here for easy access to things like screen recording, floating windows, and shortcuts. The photo gallery has AI tools to improve your photos, and the AI Editor suggests edits when needed.

The vibration motor is improved, making feedback feel more natural, especially in games.

Find X8 Ultra uses the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with great cooling. It comes with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It performs well in tests and runs smoothly.

However, it can get hot when using demanding apps or games, and CPU and GPU slow down a little to control the heat. This isn’t a big issue for most users.

Oppo Find X8 Ultra offers great performance, useful AI features, and a smooth, iPhone-like experience.

Camera of Oppo Find X8 Ultra

Oppo Find X8 Ultra has a powerful main camera with a big sensor. It takes bright and clear photos. There are also two zoom cameras (3x and 6x) and one wide camera. 6x zoom is good in low light but not for close-ups. 3x zoom can focus very close, which is great for small things.

In daylight, the main camera takes sharp photos with nice colors. The 3x zoom is good for close shots and portraits. The 6x zoom is good for far-away things. The wide camera is a bit weaker now but still works well.

The front camera has autofocus, so your face stays clear in selfies. There’s also a “Quick Button” to take photos or videos fast with one press.

At night or in low light, the camera still works well. Sometimes moving lights look a bit blurry. 3x zoom takes better zoom photos than the 2x zoom from the main camera.

Oppo Find X8 Ultra has a great camera for both day and night.

Pros and Cons of Oppo Find X8 Ultra

✅ Pros	❌ Cons
💧 Water and dust resistant (IP68/IP69)	🌍 Only available in China
📱 Slim and premium design	🇨🇳 China-specific software
🎯 Quick Button for faster photos/videos	📲 Some apps may not work well
⚡ Fast charging and 🔋 long battery life	🌞 Screen brightness could be better
📸 Excellent camera system for day and night photos	🔥 Can overheat during heavy use
🔍 Great zoom and 🌄 ultrawide camera	📶 No support for eSIM
🎥 Super steady video recording	❌

Conclusion

Find X8 Ultra is full of good surprises. Its camera system is even better now, with improved zoom and a smaller camera bump. It’s not perfect, but it’s very close.

The phone is thinner but still feels high-end. It’s water and dust resistant, has a long-lasting battery, and charges fast. There’s also a Quick Button for fast photo or video capture, if you want to use it.

There are a few small downsides: the screen isn’t as bright as some other phones, it gets a bit warm with heavy use, and it doesn’t have eSIM, which some travelers might miss.

The biggest problem is that it’s only sold in China. Even if you buy it from another country, the software is made for Chinese users, so it might not work perfectly.

Still, if you don’t mind these things, the Find X8 Ultra’s cameras could make it worth it.
