The Quick Button gives the camera app its own useful shutter.
The display is bright and immersive, and it’s tough to get the phone to slow down.
However you feel about the originality of Oppos ideas, the Find X8 Pro is a fantastic smartphone experience.

But Oppo can only take so much credit for a phone so substantially built on another phone makers ideas.
Philosophizing aside, the Oppo Find X8 Pro is full to the brim with impressive tech.
Internally, the phone is just as solid, with a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset and 16GB of RAM.
The Find X8 Pro handled everything I threw at it with aplomb.
This software experience is unfortunately marred by a large amount of bloatware.
Overall, whether the Find X8 Pro is for you comes down to how much you care about originality.
The Find X8 Pro is full of premium hardware, however, so the value is definitely there.
Both color options are rated at both IP68 and IP69 for water resistance against both immersion and jets.
The phone is weighty, at 215 grams, but doesnt feel overly heavy.
The front panel hosts a 6.78-inch screen, curved slightly on each edge.
It feels great to hold, but is a little slippery.
That is ludicrously bright and far past the realm of actual usefulness.

Oppo has imbued ColorOS with some of the highest quality animations I’ve ever seen on a mobile OS.
That leads us to an unavoidable fact about ColorOS 15 the liberal inspiration it’s taken from iOS.

You get an ultra-wide camera, main wide camera, 3x telephoto, and 6x telephoto.
And, of course, theres a new way to control the camera system on the Find X8 Pro.
To put it simply, the Oppo Find X8 Pro just feels efficient.

This all adds up and makes using the Oppo Find X8 a fluid and satisfying experience.
The 5,910mAh silicon-carbon battery gives the Find X8 Pro exceptional longevity.
What that means in practice is blisteringly fast charging speeds and more flexibility for battery top-ups.

The phone also supports 50W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.
Battery score: 5 / 5

It hits a home run with its ergonomics and is clearly built to last.
It’s large enough to be a serious contender for watching TV shows and movies on, too.
Charging is absolutely rapid, too.
If you’re someone who likes to reward originality, you might want to look elsewhere.
If you want a large Android phone from a more recognizable brand, this is one to consider.
It helps that it’s a fair bit cheaper, too.
The model tested came in the Pearl White color option and came with 512GB of storage.
I went out to test all four of the phones cameras in a variety of conditions.
