Oppo Find X8 Pro (Global) Review: Many Steps Forward, One Step Back

[@Sudip9]

Ben do a camera comparison bw Vivo X200 pro and Find X8 pro as these two are going global somehow....

[@mehranshyourcoolbro6417]

Most Definitely looking forward to Ben doing epic camera comparison

[@JustusKimtai]

This will just be a completely, almighty, one-sided, butt-whooping from the Vivo X200 Pro. It's absolute suicide for the Find X8 Pro to walk into a camera battle with the Vivo X200 Pro.

[@ETXD-fb5rn]

Will be waiting for it 👀

[@azmolali1091]

Great guy 👍😊😊

[@bogart01]

That's a very valid point about the sensor size or lack thereof and it shows.

[@chaosland5325]

What impresses me is the battery. A huge battery in a flagship phone is rare. That's a real improvement with a fast powerful processor and good cameras.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Oneplus and oppo have been doing it for the last couple years now. 12R/Ace 3 had a 5500. And now I think they're going even bigger because of the power of the Silicon. But it does make me nervous about Z fold 7 vs the s25 or whatever. Early sign suggests they're keeping the same size battery Thank God for one plus at least in the North American Market being a holdout where you still get fast charging speeds, bigger batteries and a charger in the Box

[@daliso8o8]

The Dimensity 9400 is also more power efficient than the 8 Elite❤

In the UK this is launching at 1049 pounds for 512GB version and that comes with a free watch and earbuds. Plus there are big trade in discounts. That means it is competing with the s24/25+, NOT the 24/25 ultra. And tbh this absolutely stomps the s24+ lol so i think it's priced pretty well.

Is Ultra Vs Pro a fair comparison? I know it's a newer generation, but surely Pro Vs Pro is more realistic?

[@seanmark5264]

could the negative camera performance be due to this being a "pro" model rather an "ultra"?

Let's wait for the x8 ultra in January. Hopefully its like the x7 Ultra

[@gee620]

who cares about the back cover, everyone puts a casing though.

[@victorrumyantsev3718]

Completely agree. X8 Pro camera design reminds kitchen sink hole. Flat screen on this phone gives impression of cheap phone. Xperia 1 V or Galaxy S24 Ultra flat screens is a different story. They are the best and look harmonic.

[@jaygray91]

Thank you x8 for being THE ONLY VIDEO that I can find that tried the wireless charging with third party chargers / powerbank. I'm seriously considering the normal X8 since it fits more my needs and wants more at a lower price but the X8 Pro looks to have tough competition.

[@solas1183]

The find x8 pro is the equivalent of $1250 in Indonesia where the price was confirmed (this is far from your mentioned price of around $800). Definitely at least €1200 in Europe. Where are getting the €1000 Euro from? You're kind of misleading a bit on the pricing. Apart from that great review

[@anandsyrus2498]

You are the only reviewer who highlighted inferior main camera in Oppo Find X8 pro. All reviewers are just giving paid reviews boasting about Oppo X8 pro camera considering the global price which is not competitive when they can never compete with either Samsung or Apple in brand value or resale value globally. Hats off to You

[@bensgadgetreviews]

Thank you

[@ali.67]

This phone is a competitor to the vivo x200 pro in terms of camera power, even if the sensors are a little smaller than before, they remain powerful cameras that can be relied upon.

[@Getquora]

That's because they are from the same company 😊

[@DavidChung-k1e]

EU pricing is 1150€, which is to much in my opinion. Great video though, but I am glad I went with the Vivo X200 Pro. They probably downgraded a bit to make the X8 Ultra stand out more? 🤷

Where did you bought x200 pro? Anyway good choice, better 3 bigger sensors from vivo, than 4 smaller from oppo.

so in terms of the camera quality, considering video and low light situations, would you say that the x8 pro is better than the xiaomi 14 ultra (or the xiaomi 15) and the nubia z70 ultra ? or would you maybe wait for the oneplus 13 (which i assume is going to be a lot like the x8 pro) ?

Hi Ben. Not to take away from your X8 video, but I was searching for your IQOO 13 review and can't see it. Only your IQOO 12. Do you have the IQOO 13? Will you review it soon? You're my main trusted source so I want to get your take on it before I pull the trigger. Its between IQOO 13 and Nubia z70 ultra. I prefer everything about Nubia design, but the pictures on the z70 look horrific. So I think I'll probably go IQOO 13. Speed and front cameras matter to me for work (processing short video clips taken on a tripod). Anyone's input who have used the phones would be appreciated. Have a good one.

I feel like OPPO thinks that the price of doing a global release for the Find X series again is ditching all those power-user camera features to cater to more people. Countries like the Philippines didn't even get a Find X3 or Find X5 officially, so we're grateful we're even getting a proper Find series phone again after years of being away. I also think if they made another Ultra, it would just be another China release.

I agree with you about the leather+metal design at the back of the mobile and tbh last year's designs were really amazing. And, in my opinion I don't care if the mobile is 2 milimeters thicker and 50 grams heavier, I want to have the best camera hardware and the most capacity latest tech battery in it. Larger capacity battery means, less charging for a longer battery life besides being confident in usage for me ...

[@KraM881]

Don't you think they did this downgrade on the Pro, just to put the top tier cameras on the Ultra?? Because if they didn't they would be too similar, and there would be no point on spending the extra money on the Ultra. We have to remember that Oppo never had 3 Find Series models, and that seams to be the case this year. Anyway, great job as allways Ben!!!!😉

[@DevasishSaikiia]

Ben, I think 1.Oppo has intentionally used this set up to differentiate it from X8 ultra which is expected to come out with an SD 8 Elite processor. X8 ultra will come with top camera hardware. 2. The two tone design may make a comeback in the Ultra.
