Oppo Find X8 Ultra Trims Camera Bump And Yet Retains Four 50MP Cameras
Oppo Find X8 Ultra
The Oppo Find X8 Pro is one of the slimmest camera-centric phones on the market. Like its predecessor, you get two periscope cameras for 3x and 6x optical zoom, as well as two 50MP main and ultrawide cameras. This is accompanied by a flagship chipset and a 6,100mAh battery.
Fantastic optical zoom on cameras? Check. Great display? Check. Flagship processor to power it all? Check. Huge battery to keep it running? Check. It ticks all the right boxes and makes me wish it were available to a wider consumer base with a global launch.
Oppo has worked on minimizing its camera module width so it doesn’t protrude as much as the Find X7 Ultra or the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Make no mistake, it isn’t a compact device. At 226 grams and 8.78mm thickness, it’s on par with the Galaxy S25 Ultra but packs over-the-top cameras. Personally, I don’t mind the camera module protrusion if it allows for bigger sensors. Oppo’s slight compromise results in a smaller camera bump and a more pocketable phone.

What I do mind is the lack of personality. Both the Oppo Find X6 Ultra and Find X7 Ultra had a dual-tone finish where half the phone featured a faux leather back. By contrast, the Find X8 Ultra looks like just another Oppo phone. It comes in gorgeous finishes, and I love the light pink hue on my Shell Pink variant. But in a bid to make a “normal-looking” Ultra phone, Oppo has let go of its signature design.
That said, the matte finish is easy to hold and comfortable to use. It isn’t slippery, and I would gladly use it without a case. However, it is prone to scratches, which aren’t always visible unless light hits at a certain angle. It’s rated IP68 for dust and water resistance, as well as IP69 for resistance against high-pressure water spray.

On the front, you get a sharp 6.82-inch AMOLED LTPO display with QHD resolution at 510 pixels per inch (ppi). If you want a portable screen to watch movies and videos, this is it. It’s a vibrant display with thin bezels that add to the immersive feel when consuming content. The screen is rated to deliver up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness outdoors, and I haven’t had any legibility issues in direct sunlight.
The Oppo Find X8 Ultra continues to have two periscope zoom cameras. It sports a 50MP 1-inch-type primary main sensor, a 50MP periscope camera with 3x optical zoom, another 50MP periscope camera for 6x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide-angle sensor. Oppo has worked on its color tuning to offer more natural color rendering with True Chroma Camera tech.

The 3x and 6x zoom systems are the stars of the pack. They offer good natural blur and excellent shadow detail. Photos clicked at up to 30x zoom are sharper than the competition—less noisy and more social media–friendly.
Both cameras capture good-looking portraits, and similar to the Find X8 Pro, you get several photo modes like Stage, Silhouette, and Fireworks for a customized look. One standout feature of the 6x lens is its ability to keep video footage more stable than its predecessor, which is also among the best on an Ultra phone.
My only complaint is with the primary camera, which can be unreliable. The images look great for the most part, but there are times when skin tones are messed up after processing. I faced a similar issue on the Find X8 Pro and the X7 Ultra last year.

The Oppo Find X8 Ultra is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. It runs ColorOS 15 based on Android 15. I love the snappy UI and smooth animations on offer here. Throw whatever task you want, and the Find X8 Ultra nails it. However, I noticed it getting warm to the touch when shooting photos outdoors, in the Delhi heat.
The Oppo Find X8 Ultra packs a massive 6,100mAh silicon-carbon battery, which supports 100W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. In my usage, it went from 25% to 100% within 35 minutes. It’s efficient, too—it easily lasts an entire day.
The Oppo Find X8 Ultra is priced at 6,499 CNY (approx. $884) for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant and goes up to 7,999 CNY (approx. $1,088) for the 16GB RAM + 1TB storage model. It is only available in China right now, with no information on a global rollout.
