OPPO Find X8 Pro Review: Display, Audio and Overall Experience

The OPPO Find X8 Pro review starts with a clear position in the Find X8 family. This is the Pro model, not the Ultra and not the standard Find X8. It was announced on 24 October 2024, and the OPPO Find X8 Pro release date and availability followed quickly, with the phone going on sale on 30 October 2024. That timing matters because it places the phone in the first wave of MediaTek Dimensity 9400 flagships, and it explains why so much of the conversation around it still centres on cameras, screen quality and battery endurance. In this OPPO Find X8 Pro review we look at the phone as a complete daily device, from the way it feels in the hand to the way it handles photography, gaming, calls, music and long days away from a charger. Readers who want a wider view of the family can also read OPPO Find X8 Review: Strengths, Trade-Offs and Everyday Use for the standard model, which shares much of the same software and camera thinking in a smaller and lighter body.

At its core, the OPPO Find X8 Pro specs describe a flagship built around a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display, a quad 50 MP Hasselblad camera system with two periscope telephoto lenses, a 5910 mAh silicon-carbon battery, 80 W wired charging and 50 W wireless charging, and Android 15 with ColorOS 15. The OPPO Find X8 Pro price varied by region and configuration at launch, and the OPPO Find X8 Pro price in India and global availability also differed from market to market, so buyers should check the exact configuration sold where they live. The OPPO Find X8 Pro full specifications and price need to be read together, because the value of this phone comes from the combination of its cameras, its screen and its battery, rather than from any single headline number. The OPPO Find X8 Pro review after long term use shows the same pattern: the phone is at its best when it is used as an all-round flagship, not when it is judged on one test alone.

Design and Build

The OPPO Find X8 Pro design is calm, symmetrical and deliberately understated. The large circular camera module sits in the centre of the rear panel, the frame is flat with gently rounded edges, and the front is dominated by a quad-curved display with very slim and even bezels. The OPPO Find X8 Pro design and build quality review has to start with the materials: a glass rear panel, an aluminium frame and a display protected by toughened glass give the phone a solid, premium feel without making it look loud or busy. The OPPO Find X8 Pro color options and Pearl White finish deserve a mention here, because the Pearl White version uses a subtle pearlescent texture that catches light without collecting fingerprints as quickly as a glossy black panel. The OPPO Find X8 Pro colors are Space Black and Pearl White. Space Black is the quieter choice, and both finishes keep the camera module as the main visual feature.

In the hand and everyday handling

The OPPO Find X8 Pro weight and dimensions in hand feel are important for a phone of this size. At 162.3 x 76.7 x 8.2 mm and 215 g, it is a large phone, yet the curved edges and the balanced weight distribution make it easier to hold than the numbers alone suggest. The phone fits in a jacket pocket and in most bags without fuss, and one-handed use is possible for short tasks such as checking notifications, although reaching the top of the screen still needs a second hand or a shift in grip. The alert slider, a familiar OPPO feature, sits on the left edge, while the power button and volume keys sit on the right. A dedicated camera button, placed low on the right edge, gives quick access to the camera and can be used as a shutter in landscape orientation. For readers comparing the Pro with the larger Ultra model, the OPPO Find X8 Ultra Review: Gaming, Multitasking and Battery Life is a useful companion, because it shows how OPPO pushed the camera and battery further in the Ultra while keeping a similar design language.

Buttons, ports and water resistance

The OPPO Find X8 Pro IP68 water resistance and dust protection is rated to IP68 and IP69, which means the phone is protected against dust and against immersion in water, as well as against high-pressure water jets. That rating does not make the phone indestructible, and it does not cover damage from seawater or from soap, yet it does give real peace of mind for rain, splashes and accidental drops into water. The USB-C port at the bottom supports USB 3.2 speeds, the SIM tray takes two nano-SIM cards, and there is no microSD card slot and no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired headphones need a USB-C adapter or a wireless connection. The OPPO Find X8 Pro fingerprint sensor and face unlock both work well in daily use. The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor sits under the display, reads quickly even with slightly damp fingers, and works alongside face unlock for fast access when the phone is picked up.

Display Quality

The OPPO Find X8 Pro display is one of the strongest parts of the phone. It is a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1264 x 2780 pixels, a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, and a peak brightness rating of 4500 nits. The OPPO Find X8 Pro display quality and brightness stand out outdoors, where the screen stays readable in strong sunlight, and indoors, where the panel can drop to very low brightness for comfortable use at night. Colours are vivid without looking artificial in the default mode, and the Vivid and Natural colour modes give users a choice between a punchier look and a more restrained one. The Find X8 Pro display handles text, photos and video with clean edges and deep blacks, and the high pixel density keeps small text sharp.

Brightness, colour and refresh rate

The OPPO Find X8 Pro screen refresh rate and touch response adapt to what is on screen. The LTPO panel can move between 1 Hz and 120 Hz, which saves battery when the screen shows a static image and keeps scrolling smooth when the user moves through a feed or a web page. Touch response is fast and consistent, and the panel supports a high touch sampling rate that makes gaming and fast typing feel direct. The OPPO Find X8 Pro display protection and Gorilla Glass Victus cover the panel with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which adds resistance to scratches and drops, although a screen protector is still a sensible addition for anyone who carries keys in the same pocket. In video playback the display shows HDR content with strong contrast, bright highlights and detailed shadows, and the slim bezels keep the focus on the picture rather than on the frame.

Adaptive refresh rate in daily use

In daily use the adaptive refresh rate is easy to notice in the right places and invisible in the rest. Scrolling through social feeds, email and news feels smooth, while reading a long article or looking at a photo lets the panel settle to a lower rate and save power. That behaviour is part of why the battery lasts as well as it does, and it is also why the phone feels calm rather than busy. The screen does not force a high refresh rate when it is not needed, and the switch between rates is smooth enough that most users will not notice it happening.

Audio

The OPPO Find X8 Pro audio setup uses stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and the OPPO Find X8 Pro audio quality and stereo speakers are tuned for clarity rather than for raw volume alone. Voices in podcasts and video calls sound clean, music has a clear midrange and a reasonable amount of bass for a phone, and the stereo separation is wide enough to give films and games a sense of space. The speakers get loud enough for a small room, and distortion stays under control until the top of the volume range. There is no headphone jack, so the audio experience for many users will depend on wireless earbuds or headphones. The OPPO Find X8 Pro speakers work well with Bluetooth audio, and the phone supports high-quality Bluetooth codecs for compatible earbuds and headphones.

For calls, the earpiece is clear and the microphones pick up speech well in quiet and moderately noisy places. Noise reduction during calls helps keep the voice of the caller clear, and the phone handles speakerphone calls without making the voice sound thin. The Find X8 Pro audio experience is not about replacing a dedicated speaker or a pair of headphones; it is about making everyday listening, from music to video to calls, sound good without extra equipment. In that role the stereo speakers do their job well, and the balance between the two speakers keeps the sound even when the phone is held in landscape orientation for video or gaming.

Cameras

The OPPO Find X8 Pro camera system is the reason many buyers choose this phone over other flagships. It uses four 50 MP rear cameras, developed with Hasselblad, and the OPPO Find X8 Pro Hasselblad camera features explained in this section cover the colour tuning, the portrait modes and the way the phone handles zoom. The main camera uses a 50 MP sensor with a 23 mm equivalent focal length, an f/1.6 aperture and optical image stabilisation. The ultrawide camera is also 50 MP, with a 15 mm equivalent focal length and a 120-degree field of view. The two telephoto cameras are what set the Pro apart: one is a 50 MP periscope lens with 3x optical zoom at 73 mm, and the other is a 50 MP periscope lens with 6x optical zoom at 135 mm. The Find X8 Pro camera therefore covers a very wide range, from ultrawide landscapes to close portraits to distant subjects, without relying only on digital zoom.

Main, ultrawide and telephoto cameras

The OPPO Find X8 Pro zoom camera performance at 6x zoom is a good test of the system, because 6x is a focal length where many phones start to lose detail. Here the dedicated 6x periscope lens keeps detail, colour and contrast well, and the phone can push further with digital zoom when needed, although quality drops as the zoom increases. The 3x lens is the natural choice for portraits and for everyday subjects at a moderate distance, while the main camera handles low light, food, street scenes and general photography. The OPPO Find X8 Pro camera quality in low light is strong, with the main sensor gathering enough light to keep night shots bright without turning them into flat, over-processed images. Noise is controlled, colours stay natural, and the phone keeps detail in shadows without lifting them too far.

6x zoom in practice

In practice, 6x zoom is useful for concerts, for architecture, for wildlife and for any subject that cannot be approached closely. The stabilisation helps keep the frame steady, and the phone focuses quickly at long range. Users should hold the phone steady and use the shutter button or a short tap on the screen to focus, because small movements are magnified at this focal length. The result is a set of zoom photos that look usable for sharing and for printing at normal sizes, which is not something every flagship can claim.

Portrait, night and video

The OPPO Find X8 Pro portrait mode with Hasselblad portrait styles gives portraits a distinctive look. Hasselblad portrait mode offers a choice of focal lengths and bokeh styles, and the background blur is clean around hair and glasses in most shots. Skin tones look natural rather than smoothed, and the phone keeps detail in the eyes and in clothing. The OPPO Find X8 Pro night mode photography and video recording also benefit from the large main sensor and the stabilisation, with night mode taking a short burst of frames and combining them into a brighter, cleaner image. Video recording reaches 4K at 60 frames per second with Dolby Vision HDR, and the stabilisation keeps walking footage smooth. The OPPO Find X8 Pro front camera selfie quality and video calls are handled by a 32 MP front camera with an f/2.4 aperture, which records 4K video and takes sharp selfies with natural colours and good dynamic range.

Performance

The OPPO Find X8 Pro performance is built on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400, a 3 nm chipset with an octa-core CPU made up of one 3.63 GHz Cortex-X925 core, three 3.3 GHz Cortex-X4 cores and four 2.4 GHz Cortex-A720 cores, plus an Immortalis-G925 GPU. The OPPO Find X8 Pro performance with Dimensity 9400 is fast in every part of daily use, from opening apps to switching between them, editing photos, and running demanding games. The Find X8 Pro performance feels immediate, with apps opening without delay and the interface staying smooth even when many apps are open in the background. The OPPO Find X8 Pro storage options and RAM configuration include 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of internal memory, 16 GB of RAM with 512 GB of internal memory, and 16 GB of RAM with 1 TB of internal memory, all using fast UFS 4.0 storage. There is no card slot, so buyers should choose a capacity that will last for the life of the phone.

A direct OPPO Find X8 Pro vs Find X8 Ultra comparison helps place the Pro correctly. The Find X8 Ultra, released in April 2025, uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a different camera setup, while the Pro uses the Dimensity 9400 and its own quad 50 MP system. The Ultra is the more camera-focused and more expensive model, while the Pro is the balanced flagship that arrived first. Readers who want the Ultra in detail can read OPPO Find X7 Ultra Review: Cameras, Performance and Battery Life for the earlier Ultra model, which shows how OPPO built its Ultra line around cameras and battery life, and then compare that thinking with the newer Pro. The Find X8 Pro gaming experience is also part of the performance story, and it is covered in the next section.

Gaming and sustained load

The OPPO Find X8 Pro gaming performance and heating are controlled well for a phone this powerful. Demanding games run at high frame rates with stable performance, and the phone uses a vapour chamber cooling system to spread heat away from the chipset. The phone gets warm during long gaming sessions, as any flagship does, yet it does not become uncomfortable to hold, and frame rates stay steady rather than dropping sharply after a few minutes. The Find X8 Pro gaming setup benefits from the 120 Hz display, the fast touch response and the stereo speakers, which together make games feel responsive and immersive. The Find X8 Pro battery also helps here, because a long gaming session does not drain the phone as quickly as it does on smaller-battery flagships.

Battery and Charging

The OPPO Find X8 Pro battery is a 5910 mAh battery made with silicon-carbon technology, which allows a large capacity in a slim body. The OPPO Find X8 Pro battery life and charging speed are among the best in this class, with the phone easily lasting a full day of heavy use and often reaching a second day with lighter use. Screen-on time is strong, standby drain is low, and the adaptive display and the efficient Dimensity 9400 both help the battery last longer. The Find X8 Pro battery is not just about capacity; it is about how the phone manages power across the display, the chipset and the radios, and that management is consistent across a week of use rather than just on the first day.

Charging is fast and flexible. The phone supports 80 W wired charging, which takes the battery from empty to a large percentage in about half an hour, and 50 W wireless charging for users who prefer a charging pad. The OPPO Find X8 Pro charging experience is quick enough that a short top-up before leaving the house adds a useful amount of power, and the phone supports 10 W reverse wireless charging for earbuds and other small devices. The OPPO Find X8 Pro wireless charging speed and reverse charging make the phone easy to live with for users who already own a wireless charger, and the wired charger remains the fastest option for a full charge in a hurry.

Charging, wireless charging and reverse charging

The OPPO Find X8 Pro wireless charging speed and reverse charging work together as a practical pair. Wireless charging is convenient on a desk or a bedside table, where the phone can sit on a pad overnight or during work, while reverse wireless charging is useful for topping up earbuds when there is no cable nearby. The phone also supports fast wired charging with the supplied charger in regions where it is included, and it follows standard USB Power Delivery for other chargers, although speeds will vary with the charger used. Battery health features in ColorOS 15 help slow long-term degradation by managing charge levels and overnight charging, which matters for a phone that many owners will keep for several years.

Software and Everyday Use

The OPPO Find X8 Pro software is Android 15 with ColorOS 15, and OPPO promised up to five major OS updates for this model. The OPPO Find X8 Pro software update and ColorOS 15 story is therefore a long one, with the phone expected to receive new Android versions and security updates for several years. ColorOS 15 is clean, fast and customisable, with a refined notification shade, a useful control centre, and a set of AI tools for photo editing, writing and productivity. The OPPO Find X8 Pro AI features in ColorOS 15 review covers tools such as AI eraser for removing unwanted objects from photos, AI summary for long text, and AI translation for calls and messages, all of which work without making the interface feel crowded. The Find X8 Pro software feels polished, and the animations are smooth and consistent across the system.

The OPPO Find X8 Pro daily use experience and everyday performance are shaped by the combination of the software, the display, the battery and the cameras. Notifications arrive on time, the fingerprint sensor and face unlock work quickly, and the phone handles multitasking, split-screen apps and floating windows without slowing down. The OPPO Find X8 Pro connectivity 5G WiFi and Bluetooth features include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 with support for high-quality audio codecs, NFC for payments, an infrared blaster for controlling home devices, and dual-band GPS for accurate navigation. The Find X8 Pro design, the Find X8 Pro display and the Find X8 Pro camera all work together in daily use, so the phone does not feel like a collection of separate parts.
