I was recently amazed by the Oppo Find X8 series, which has taken smartphone camera quality to a whole new level. The Find X8 series, which is the successor to the Find X7 series, comes with several improvements, including a significant upgrade in zoom capability. The 30x zoom feature on the Oppo Find X8 and X8 Pro cameras is truly impressive and sets them apart from the competition.
What makes the Find X8 and X8 Pro cameras stand out is the use of a 50-megapixel camera for all three sensors, with the X8 Pro featuring a fourth 50MP camera. This parity in megapixel count ensures high-quality images across different lenses. Both phones come with a 50MP primary lens, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP periscope lens. The Find X8 Pro also includes a fourth 50MP camera with optical image stabilization and 6x optical zoom.
During a recent briefing, I had the opportunity to test the zoom capabilities of the Find X8 and X8 Pro cameras. I was impressed by the 30x zoom on the Find X8 and the 60x zoom on the Find X8 Pro. The zoom performance on both devices was exceptional, with the Find X8 proving to be just as good as the Pro version in the test.
To see how the Oppo Find X8 series compares to other flagship devices, I compared it to the iPhone 16 Pro, Google Pixel 9 Pro, Oppo Find X7 Ultra, and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. While each device has its strengths, the zoom capabilities of the Find X8 series were particularly impressive, especially at longer zoom lengths.
In a detailed camera comparison, the Find X8 series outperformed the iPhone 16 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro at 30x zoom, capturing more detail and producing better quality images. While the Galaxy S24 Ultra had better zoom capabilities overall, the Find X8 series held its own at longer zoom lengths, showcasing its impressive camera quality.
Overall, the Oppo Find X8 series has redefined smartphone camera quality with its exceptional zoom capabilities and high-quality images. The Find X8 and X8 Pro cameras offer a level of detail and clarity that surpass many other flagship devices on the market. As the first phone powered by the Dimensity 9400, the Oppo Find X8 is shaping up to be one of the best smartphones of the year. It will be interesting to see how it performs in our full review and whether it can maintain its impressive camera quality in the long run.
