With the escalation of the “arms race” in the past few years, the image flagship performance in terms of image quality has gradually been able to meet the needs of the majority of users, it can be said that any new flagship to buy a new, users can enjoy the experience of “shooting good-looking”.
But in the specific photographic experience, we still encounter some peculiar problems, such as capture the desired moment, the lack of atmosphere and post retouching cumbersome, etc., the actual use is always more or less regrettable. It seems that in order to solve these difficult problems, OPPO Find X8 series came to the market with a slogan of “lifting the hand to make a movie, capture the atmosphere”.
Can this new flagship image really solve these problems, and what kind of new experience?
Upgraded shooting experience, but thinner and lighter
My first complaint about the flagship is that it's heavy, and regardless of whether the extra grams really affect the feel of the device, the protruding module emphasizes its unpleasant presence every time I put it on my desktop.
OPPO Find X8 Pro is optimized for this, while retaining the dual periscope, the thickness of the body will be further reduced to 8.34mm (with film measured 8.4mm), coupled with the image module, only 12.1mm thick (with film), which can be thinner than many of the main focus of their own small-sized models, the weight of 215g in a similar image flagship is a full lightweight.
OPPO Find X8 Pro is also the first model in the Find series to use quad-curved, we called this screen “small straight screen” in our previous review of the Reno 12 Pro, which is a strange name, but it also emphasizes its ability to balance the perception of a straight screen with the feel of a curved screen, compared to the OPPO Find X8 Standard Edition, which comes with a 6.59-inch straight screen. OPPO Find X8 standard version of a set of aesthetic “version of the answer”.
OPPO Find X8 Pro also made a very rounded center frame, three-stage switch needless to say, the center frame this time also added an interesting snap button, both a little bit of the shadow of the “photo control”, but also in the form of some gaming phones close to the shoulder keys, can support touch and press, but does not affect the sense of grip in the middle of the frame. As for what it can do, let's put it in the image section and talk more about it.
Powerful performance for a great experience
OPPO Find X8 Pro is also equipped with a powerful Tenguet 9400 mobile chip, which continues the powerful CPU design of all large cores, with a maximum frequency of 3.62GHz, and the GPU configuration also reaches a rather exaggerated level, which is the most sought-after performance of the new star.
Or let's take a look at the real-world results. In the “Original God” whisker running scene, OPPO Find X8 Pro can achieve an average frame rate of 60.5, and the overall curve is completely a straight line, with very small fluctuations and low frequency, so it can be seen that this classic scene is already close to touching the manufacturer's performance ceiling.
What's more surprising is that even with a stable and high frame rate, the OPPO Find X8 Pro still maintains a relatively low power consumption under such a high load game, with an average power consumption of only 4.66W, which means that its power consumption ratio can reach a very high level in actual use, with little pressure on heat dissipation and battery life, and is even more trustworthy for daily use.
Image module upgraded again, practicality is full of
The image configuration of the OPPO Find X8 Pro is a bit “cooler” than that of its predecessor, the Ultra. Its wide-angle main camera has been replaced by the 1/1.4 LYT-808 from the LYT-900, but the dual periscope telephoto design has been retained. The 3× lens also adopts a very “radical” design, triple prism reflective light path with sensor flip, so that the double periscope can also be made thin, the lens module bulge has been improved, and there is a comfortable feel as mentioned earlier.
Although the OPPO Find X8 Pro's image parameters are not that exaggerated in terms of “keyboard value”, its actual performance does make us very satisfied.
Under the support of the Master Mode, OPPO Find X8 Pro's wide-angle imaging is still full of flavor, and on the basis of realism, it achieves full colors and an outstanding sense of image hierarchy. Even if the image has a strong contrast between light and darkness, it can still try to restore the dark details without reducing the contrast, achieving the sense of atmosphere that belongs to the Hasselblad Masters.
The performance of the three secondary cameras is also still satisfactory. Whether it's the 15mm-equivalent ultra wide-angle, or the 73mm and 135mm-equivalent dual periscope telephoto, with their respective sensors, they all deliver the same flavorful textured photos, while the image quality also reaches a flagship level of clarity and detail.
In addition, the OPPO Find X8 Pro's zoom articulation is also quite well done, with no abruptness in switching between lenses, a very smooth zoom process, and very uniform colors from all four cameras, which greatly increased our pleasure during the shooting process.
When we continue to pull the lens farther away, to the ultra-telephoto category beyond the optical ability, OPPO Find X8 Pro's AI millimeter telephoto ability is about to start to take effect. It can complement the details of the image with computational photography, so that the image quality is still clear at 30x, and 60x or even 120x is still usable.
Even more amazing is the part of the portrait photos, OPPO Find X8 Pro this time on the portrait photography needs to reorganize the function, and finally presented in three features, one is OPPO always do well beauty, the other two are this time the new soft light portrait and film portrait, from the perspective of the light atmosphere sense and film color, to enhance the beauty of the final picture.
Let's take a look at the sample photos. The first thing to praise is the portrait texture presented in the default portrait mode, OPPO Find X8 Pro to do a delicate beauty and real texture, the keying of the hair is to achieve pixel level, as if the background of the bokeh is all the results of optical hardware, not from the calculation.
The default photo of Portrait Mode is a sample photo.

The film portrait is based on the previous excellent portrait, to do some of the classic film color simulation, more grainy form of vintage texture, in addition to some more bold use of color, in the most advanced cell phone screen, to show through the decades of traditional image flavor.

Soft light portrait is from the picture of the light details, it seems to change the lens to a different degree of soft light lens, so that the original sharp and hard light becomes gentle and soft, showing a different sense of relaxation and softness, while not much sacrifice of the clarity of the picture, optimization ideas can be said to be very careful.
It is important to note that these three levels of functionality are not completely independent of each other, and the Soft Portrait and Film Portrait settings can coexist to create a different and unique atmosphere with a variety of permutations and combinations.

The OPPO Find X8 Pro is a great way to get the most out of the OPPO Find X8 Pro, but it's also a great way to get the most out of the OPPO Find X8 Pro. First of all, the underlying software of the camera is upgraded, OPPO Find X8 Pro has brought a different ability to capture, it can adaptively adjust the shutter speed, but also allows the post-calculation of the staggered operation, which solves a variety of problems in continuous shooting and capturing, and theoretically makes capturing easier and more casual. What's even rarer is that it doesn't stand alone as a mode that needs to be awkwardly activated, but has been built into the default camera, and its involvement can be seen in every single shot.
Let's talk about the snap button. Although the form looks familiar, OPPO Find X8 Pro has optimized it very much differently in the dimension of actual experience, for example, there is almost no lag or lag when double-tapping to start the camera, and the gesture of sliding the zoom is limited to horizontal screen use, avoiding the nuisance of vertical one-handed grip mis-touch.
But honestly, for such a 6.78-inch rounded-bezel model, the current location of the snap start button is honestly not smooth enough; if it could be moved down a bit along with the volume control buttons, perhaps it would be better able to take care of both vertical and horizontal shots at the same time? Anyway, there is no way to slide it to control the zoom on the vertical screen.
What about the actual snapshot? Not to mention, in good lighting conditions, the success rate of using it to capture is quite high. For example, the peacock we captured in our sample photo is quite clear, and even the part of the plumage that trembles in motion is also well visible, so the image quality is quite excellent.
In the capture sample shot by the wide-angle end, it is to do an exaggerated 1/2114s shutter speed, extremely fast capture the dog gripping the Frisbee picture, the picture is full of dynamism.
Its powerful continuous shooting and capture ability can also be utilized when shooting stunts indoors. Instead of waiting for the moment, it's easy to record surprising moments by taking a series of action shots manually and then selecting them later.
We'd like to add a few more AI features to the list: the OPPO Find X8 Pro also brings a new AI De-Reflection function that recognizes and removes reflections in the image with a single tap. On the basis of “getting the shot”, it eliminates some regret and embarrassment, and greatly improves the success rate of “getting the shot” from the perspective of post-production.
Glacier battery upgraded again, the endurance of the real peace of mind!
After upgrading the hardware in all aspects and thinning the body, the OPPO Find X8 series also brings surprises in terms of battery capacity, of which the OPPO Find X8 Pro is equipped with a large glacier battery of 5910mAh, which completely eliminates the “battery life anxiety” of everyone from the hardware.
We also tested its battery life as usual. Its battery life test results are more interesting, on the one hand, when dealing with the “Honor of Kings” such as medium load game scene, its power consumption is very small, 1 hour only consumes 13% of the power, can hold on for a relatively long time; but when browsing microblogging, the power consumption seems to be a little more, came to 11%; play video performance is moderate.
Such battery life results overall is excellent, but part of the breakdown of the scene consumption slightly more, may be in pursuit of smoothness, in the sliding frequency of the scene is relatively aggressive scheduling it, look forward to the follow-up of further optimization.
In addition to making a large battery, OPPO Find X8 Pro is also equipped with 80W super flash charging, the actual test, it can be charged from 1% to 100% in 49 minutes, of which from 1% to 90% only took 40 minutes, the replenishment speed is still quite considerable. In addition, OPPO Find X8 series has created a new magnetic fast charging ecology, wireless charging experience has taken a big step forward, which is commendable.
Summarize
Unlike the previous exaggerated pile of materials, the OPPO Find X8 Pro looks like a more restrained model. On the one hand, it is quite extreme on the technical level, with a huge battery of nearly 6000mAh in a relatively thin body, without even sacrificing performance and endurance, and a dual-submersible quad-camera module, which is conversely thinner and feels better in the hand than some models pursuing a smaller size, and all of these extreme designs are amazing.
On the other hand, it does not pursue extreme parameters. For example, in terms of sensor size, screen resolution and fast charging power, it does not seem to be so prominent, it seems that OPPO Find X8 Pro seems to be looking for an experience of the “dessert”, to ensure that the user's performance and image experience at the same time, but also to do a good feel and high value, which is also a special feature of the image flagship. This is also special among image flagships.
In any case, OPPO Find X8 Pro is clearly a good enough image flagship, it may not have reached the extreme in terms of image quality and parameters, but if you pick up the phone, just want to complete the record of the splendor of the eyes, then I believe that it will be the most convenient choice.
