OPPO Find X8 5G: OPPO Find X8 5G is another giant step forward for their flagship brand. Renowned for pushing the envelope with design and technology, OPPO has given the Find X8 all the latest tech and top-end performance and a few thoughtful twists too.
It’s a tough act to beat in the flagship space, but the Find X8 5G stands its ground with confidence – a combination of style and substance.
Let’s take a look at what makes this phone feel special in 2025, and also where it could use some work.
Design: Sleek, Elegance and (New ) Modern Style
First impressions count — and the Find X8 5G certainly makes an impression. It has this glossy curved glass in front and back with a high quality metal frame sandwiched between them that feels luxurious to hold.
OPPO has kept things pretty lowkey but the device will come in Ceramic Black, Glacier Silver, and a special edition Ocean Green.
It weighs approximately 193 grams and feels well balanced in hand despite a large 6.8-inch footprint. It feels smooth, shiny and well-made, and comes rated IP68 to guard against water and dust.
Fingerprint reader in the screen is super snappy and well-located.
Display: A Visual Powerhouse
The 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED is also one of the best in its class. The display is a cinematic one, too – it features QHD+ resolution, 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, HDR10+, with a peak brightness of over 3000 nits.
Colors are punchy but not overdone, blacks are inky and text appears razor-sharp.
So whether you’re gaming, streaming videos or working on photo editing, the screen will be smooth and responsive.
Because of the adaptive refresh rate, you’ll get high performance when you need it and better battery life when you don’t.
Performance: High and Mighty All the Way
Internally, the Find X8 5G is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, along with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. As you’d expect from a proper flagship, the phone flies through anything you can throw at it — be it heavy multitasking to graphics-intensive gaming.
The app launches are instant, the thermal management is great – OPPO’s new cooling system keep the phone cool even under long gaming sessions or when rendering videos.
Wi-Fi 7, 5G SA/NSA, and Bluetooth 5.4 are also part of the package, so it’s well equipped for future proof connectivity.
Camera: Intelligence in Imaging
Photography is a central attraction of the phone. The Find X8 5G comes with a triple camera setup on the back:
Primary Sensor50MP Sony LYT-900(OIS)
50MP ultra-wide sensor
64 mega-pixel periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom
With the impressive detail, dynamic range and color balance of the main camera, even in low light.
In low light conditions, you can also count on OPPO’s AI-driven computational photography engine to provide low-light shots with superior contrast and clarity without over doing it.
The ultrawide is sharp and without distortion, great for the landscapes.
Image The periscope telephoto lens sharply focuses on distant subjects — an advantage over many rivals.
On the front, a 32MP selfie camera that gets skin tones and facial detail right with enhanced AI portrait filters.
Battery & Charging: Quick, Safe, Smart
The Find X8 5G is powered by a 5000mAh battery and it easily lasts a day with mixed usage. It is backed up by 100W SuperVOOC fast charging that recharges it from 0 to 100% in just around 25–30 minutes.
It also tops out at 50W over wireless charging and also works as a portable charger to keep your other devices charged when you’re not near a plug.
Its charging safety tech from OPPO means it can prevent overheating and avoid battery degradation for a peace of mind after long use.
Software Experience
ColorOS 14.1 based on Android 14 for a smooth and intuitive experience on the Find X8. It’s clean, fast, and has a number of useful features — including Smart Sidebar, customizations for Always-On Display, and beefed up privacy controls.
OPPO pledges four years of major updates and five years of security patches, which matches the industry-leading support we see from Samsung and Google.
Pros:
Brilliant 120Hz LTPO AMOLED Display With so much speed, the OnePlus 9 Pro deserved a display that could keep up.
Some leaks point to it being a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship performance
Flexible triple-camera system with very good zoom and low-light performance
Design: Premium to look at with IP68 rating
100W wired + 50W wireless fast charging
Make ColorOS 14 clean, sleek, and maintain it longer term
Cons:
No headphone jack
No expandable storage
Not as Obliging: ColorOS has changes, but you may not like it if you prefer Stock Android.
A little bit more expensive than rivals that have same specs
Accidental touches can occur with curved edges
