10 things to know about Oppo’s powerful camera phone
1/10
It’s a camera phone that challenges DSLRs
The Find X8 Ultra isn’t trying to replace your phone—it’s trying to replace your camera. With a powerful five-camera setup, it’s designed for serious photographers. You get large sensors, fast focusing, and sharp, color-accurate images that honestly make you question if carrying a bulky DSLR is still worth it.

It’s thinner and lighter than you’d expect
Despite the massive camera hardware, the phone feels surprisingly sleek. At just 8.78mm thick and weighing 226 grams, it fits comfortably in hand. It’s lighter than many camera-focused phones and has a matte finish that doesn’t collect fingerprints. Even during long photo sessions, it never felt bulky or tiring to hold.

The design looks premium without being flashy
The phone’s back has a large, symmetrical camera ring, which could’ve looked over-the-top, but doesn’t. It’s elegant, especially in the Shell Pink finish. You also get two handy buttons on the side—one for quickly launching the camera and the other customizable. Small touches, but they add up when you’re shooting on the go.

The display is flat, bright, and made for editing
The 6.82-inch AMOLED screen is flat, not curved—which makes editing photos easier and more accurate. It supports QHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and gets super bright outdoors. Add to that eye-friendly dimming tech, and this display is a treat whether you’re shooting, editing, or just watching content.

The camera setup is one of the most versatile out there
You get five cameras, including a 1-inch main sensor, two different periscope zoom lenses, an ultra-wide, and a color-tuning sensor. Whether it’s close-up shots, portraits, wide landscapes, or night scenes—the phone delivers sharp, detailed images with amazing consistency in color and tone across all lenses.

It handled chaotic streets like a pro camera
In a real-world test in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk, the phone stood its ground. Fast-moving subjects, poor lighting, and no time to compose—yet the Find X8 Ultra nailed focus, preserved colors, and captured candid portraits that looked like carefully planned DSLR shots. It’s fast, reliable, and genuinely impressive.

Close-ups and zoom shots are exceptional
Thanks to the telemacro feature and 135mm-equivalent zoom lens, close-up photos of things like jewelry or fabric looked incredibly detailed. You don’t need to get physically close. Even at high zoom, images stayed sharp with excellent background blur—something most phones still struggle to achieve.

Performance and battery are solid too
It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “Elite” chip, with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. Even after heavy camera use, the 6100mAh battery easily lasted a day and a half. It charges from 0 to 50% in 10 minutes, and supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging—basically, zero battery anxiety.

There’s a big catch—it runs Chinese software
The unit I tested came from China and didn’t have Google apps out of the box. That means no Gmail, YouTube, or Play Store unless you sideload them or use workarounds. This is a big limitation for everyday users in India or anyone used to Google’s ecosystem.

10. Should you buy it? Depends on your priorities
If you’re a photography enthusiast who doesn’t mind the lack of Google services and loves shooting on the go, this phone is a dream. But if you want a well-rounded flagship with global support, you might want to wait for an international variant. It’s a niche but mighty camera phone—not for everyone, but perfect for some.
