If you’re into smartphones that push the envelope, OPPO’s Find X8 Ultra is the kind of device that makes your jaw drop. Sadly, it’s not launching in India officially, but it’s worth talking about for what it represents—a no-compromise flagship that shows just how far OPPO has come.
From powerhouse cameras to rock-solid performance and design, the Find X8 Ultra could make even the biggest Android names sweat.
Design
Let’s start with what you notice first—the design. The Find X8 Ultra isn’t shy about its photography chops. You can tell just by looking at the massive, circular camera module on the back, which dominates the phone’s rear. Despite that, it’s impressively slim at just 8.8mm thick. And under that sleek frame? A massive 6,100mAh battery. That’s wild.
The phone weighs in at 226g—not exactly light, but not too heavy to handle. It feels premium, and the IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance gives you peace of mind. I actually took this thing into a pool and even used it by the sea, thanks to its underwater camera mode. It didn’t just survive—it thrived.
Another cool tweak? The new Quick Button and Shortcut Button. Think of them as OPPO’s take on Apple’s Action Button and Camera Controller, letting you customize your experience with just a press or swipe. Neat, right?
Display
That display though—wow. A 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with QHD+ resolution (3,168 x 1,440 pixels). It’s not just pretty; it’s smart. It dynamically adjusts its refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz for efficiency and performance.
Add Dolby Vision, crazy-high 2,500 nits brightness, and 2,160Hz PWM dimming? Yeah, you’re not missing anything here. Watching videos or gaming on this thing is simply a treat.
Cameras
Now, let’s talk about what makes the Find X8 Ultra the real showstopper—its “Next-gen Penta Camera System.” This setup is on another level. It includes:
Camera | Sensor | Feature |
---|---|---|
Main | 50MP Sony LYT-900 (1-inch) | Flagship clarity |
Ultra-Wide | 50MP | Expansive detail |
Telephoto 1 | 50MP (3x) | Telephoto + macro |
Telephoto 2 | 50MP (6x) | Long-range zoom |
True Chroma | AI White Balance | Color accuracy |
That True Chroma camera splits the scene into 6×8 zones to fine-tune white balance for each part—great for handling tricky lighting. And there’s a new image engine called Lumo, boosting clarity, color, and focus speed.
In real-world usage? The results speak for themselves—sharp detail, natural tones, and lifelike portraits. Easily one of the most impressive mobile camera systems out there.
Performance
Inside, the Find X8 Ultra runs on Qualcomm’s beastly Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “Elite” chip. While I couldn’t run benchmark scores (they were locked on the China ROM), the phone didn’t even blink during gaming, multitasking, or streaming. It’s smooth as silk and didn’t show any overheating or lag.
Battery
And the battery? Honestly, it’s a star in its own right. A 6,100mAh unit that lasted me an entire day—even while traveling, streaming, using GPS, and snapping tons of pics. Plus, 100W wired charging gets you juiced up in no time. Wireless fans will love the 50W fast wireless charging too—though you’ll probably need OPPO’s proprietary charger to max it out.
Verdict
If you’re someone who wants the best Android flagship and don’t mind importing, the OPPO Find X8 Ultra should be on your radar. It nails the flagship experience—gorgeous display, top-tier performance, long battery life, and arguably one of the most advanced camera systems out there.
The biggest drawback? It’s just not officially coming to India. But maybe—just maybe—OPPO will change its mind once they realize how much potential this phone has to shake up the Indian premium market.
