Oppo Find X8 launched in China with Dimensity 9400!

Oppo recently unveiled the curtains on its flagship Find X series with the introduction of the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro. While the ‘Ultra’ of the bunch will be revealed further down the road, the base and the pro models are now readily available in China. In this piece, we’ll take a quick look at the gateway to this X series, the Oppo Find X8, its features, and specifications, and finally an expected price in Nepal alongside some availability scoops.

Oppo Find X8 Overview

Design and Display 

Oppo’s flagship X series has always sported an elegant and premium design but the Chinese smartphone maker has gone one step beyond this time to make the X8 sleeker than its predecessors. The camera bump on the back has been noticeably reduced due to the use of multi-prism technology, and the phone in general is slimmer by a millimeter, and more compact in all dimensions.

That’s to say, the display is now a slightly smaller 6.59-inch flat LTPO AMOLED panel that refreshes between 1-120Hz. It’s got all the bells and whistles you’d expect out of a flagship like vibrant colors, high brightness, durable protection, and lots of others. It’s got Dolby Vision support and a very crisp resolution yielding a pixel density of roughly 450 ppi. 

Performance and Memory 

Under the hood, the Oppo Find X8 is powered by the new Dimensity 9400 chipset from MediaTek. It’s a 3nm chip led by a superpowerful Cortex X925 Arm core running at up to 3.63 GHz. Others that follow are 3x Cortex X4 cores and 4x Cortex A720 cores that clock in at up to 3.3GHz and 2.4 GHz respectively. Since the new SoC has an upgraded Immortalis GPU as well, expect the Oppo Find X8 to dust its predecessor in gaming workloads.  To ensure that, and keep things under wraps, the X8 and its sibling feature a redesigned thermal solution with graphite sheets, vapor chambers, and thermal gel.

From the memory side of things, the base variant of the Find X8 ships with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. But, there are many different configurations including 16/256GB, 12/512GB, 16/512GB, and finally the top-end 16GB/1TB model. As for the software, the phone boots on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15 with a new look, and many different optimizations, especially in terms of animation fluidity.

Cameras

The cameras are most in focus when talking about new Find X smartphones and this time it’s no different. While the Pro version gets an additional telephoto lens, the base X8 features a 50MP primary Sony LYT 700 sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP IMX 882 telephoto. The primary and telephoto feature both Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) while the latter is missing on the ISOCELL ultrawide.

All of that is now housed in a sleeker camera island that protrudes less than the previous generation. It is especially commendable considering the primary is the same sized 1/1.56 “ sensor and there’s a similar telephoto with a 73mm focal length. The trick here lies in the use of multiple prisms to save vertical space instead of a periscope layout. Anyways, that hardware is now paired with Oppo’s HyperTone image engine which merges nine frames into one for better clarity and range. Of course, there’s the Hasselblad optimization in terms of colors and portraits that has been the staple for Find X for the last few years. On the front, you get a 32MP selfie camera just like last year.

Battery and Extras

Despite the compact form factor, the Find X8 houses a big 5630mAh battery thanks to the use of Silicon Carbide technology that packs in more energy for the same volume. It’s super quick to charge right back too at 80W wired and 50W wireless top-up support. On the connectivity side, there’s the latest WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 with support for LHDC 5, 5-way GNSS, and NFC. The USB port is limited to Gen 2 speeds though, unlike the X8 Pro.
