To start, if I had to summarize the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, it would be simple. It clearly surpasses its predecessor. The spec sheet has been seriously upgraded. We find a much faster processor. Next, the battery gains considerably in capacity. Finally, the photo sensors and lenses have been perfected. It’s a major evolution.

A Refined Design and a Pleasant Grip

So, concretely, what about the design and handling? Globally, the aesthetic is reminiscent of the previous model. We find that large distinctive circle on the back. This houses the photo modules. However, a notable difference appears. The design is much more discreet this time. On the Find X7 Ultra, the sensors were very visible. The overall design stood out.

Here, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra opts for subtlety. It draws inspiration from the lines of the Find X8 Pro. The latter is, by the way, available in France. The result is a more elegant phone. On the back, the layout remains familiar. We also note the presence of a small texture at the top. Observing the device, the manufacturing quality is immediately apparent. The finishes are truly impeccable. It’s a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Personally, I was able to examine a matte black version. This model is particularly attractive. The phone combines flat edges and rounded corners. This has become an aesthetic norm in 2025. Or at least, a strong trend. Furthermore, the frame is robust aluminum. The back is glass, adding a premium touch. Regarding its dimensions, it measures 163.1 mm in height. Its width is 76.8 mm. The thickness reaches 8.8 mm. Its weight is around 226 grams.

One might fear that the photo module is prominent. Indeed, the sensors protrude slightly in their circle. However, it’s not as pronounced as one might think. It’s not as imposing as on a Xiaomi 15 Ultra, for example. The thickness is not excessive. I would say it’s much closer to the Honor Magic 7 Pro. The integration of the rear cameras is well thought out. Finally, this discretion is appreciated. I personally prefer this type of design. It is less ostentatious than that of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

A Bright and Immersive Quad HD+ Screen

Let’s now move to the front of the phone. We discover a superb flat screen. Its diagonal is 6.82 inches. It’s an LTPO AMOLED panel. The brightness can reach 1500 nits at its peak. This is a considerable asset. In terms of resolution, we have something solid. The screen displays 3162 by 1444 pixels. In short, it’s Quad HD+. The definition is therefore excellent. This promises impressive image sharpness.

The aspect ratio is 18.8/9. It’s a screen format that has now become traditional. At first glance, the screen quality seems very good. When I handled it in the store, I was convinced. The brightness was more than sufficient. Yet, the ambient lighting with the LEDs was powerful. I pushed the brightness to the maximum. The display remained clear and pleasant. That’s a very positive point. From my initial interactions, the screen feels comfortable. Nowadays, most screens are very well calibrated. They offer excellent display quality. I think screen reviews could now be summarized as: it’s good, and that’s it.

In my opinion, this phone is one of the best-finished. It’s among the top Chinese smartphones currently. It could be ranked alongside the Honor Magic 7 Pro. In terms of design, it’s one of the most seamless. I have rarely seen such aesthetic coherence. This is a definite advantage for this Oppo.

Raw Power: Snapdragon 8 Elite and Generous Memory

Let’s now tackle the performance chapter. What does this Oppo Find X8 Ultra have under the hood? It is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This is a latest-generation chip. Several memory configurations are available. You have the choice: 256 GB of storage with 12 GB of RAM. Or 512 GB with 16 GB of RAM. Finally, a version with 1 TB and 16 GB of RAM exists. Suffice to say, the options are vast. You’ll have more than enough.

Record-Breaking Autonomy: A Giant Battery and Ultra-Fast Charging

This is where the Oppo Find X8 Ultra becomes very interesting. It stands out from its competitors. Including European or Western models. I’m thinking of Samsung or Apple. This phone packs an enormous battery. Its capacity is well above average. OnePlus and Realme offer similar batteries. This is logical, as they belong to the same group. Concretely, you get 100W fast wired charging. Wireless charging also reaches 50W. But the most impressive thing is the battery itself. Its capacity is 6100 mAh!

I can therefore reasonably make a hypothesis. With such a battery and this technology, the autonomy should be excellent. We should last two days without any problem. With the OnePlus, we manage it easily. And this Find X8 Ultra is very close in design. So, this battery promises great things. I think we are looking at a real feat. This device could well be one of the most enduring phones on the market. Of course, this needs to be confirmed in a real-world test. For now, these are just numbers on paper. But the outlook is very promising.

Fluid and Customizable Interface: Android 15 and ColorOS 15

On the user interface side, we have Android 15. It is accompanied by the ColorOS 15 overlay. This interface is very similar to that of OnePlus. That’s something I appreciate a lot. It’s fluid and particularly efficient. Moreover, the customization options are numerous. I know many of you like ColorOS. Or at least, the OnePlus overlay. That’s what’s so appealing about Android. This simplicity and freedom.

Photography: A Versatile and High-Performing Camera System

The most important thing in this smartphone is undoubtedly the photography. The Oppo Find X8 Ultra is equipped with four rear cameras. All of them are 50 megapixels. Among them, there are two telephoto lenses. Let’s start with the main sensor. It’s equivalent to a 23mm lens. It’s the one-inch Sony LYT-900. This is the same sensor as last year. So you already know its excellent results. It’s a safe bet.

Next, the second sensor is a periscope. It offers a 3.5x optical zoom. too is 50 megapixels. It corresponds to a 70mm focal length. Then, we have another telephoto lens. This one offers a 6x zoom. It’s equivalent to a 135mm lens. I was able to try it quickly in a supermarket. The results were really very good. The sharpness and details were there.

For the ultra-wide angle, Oppo didn’t do things by halves. There’s a 50-megapixel sensor. It’s equivalent to a 14mm lens. Another technology is embedded. It’s the “True Chroma” camera. It optimizes white balance management. It also adjusts color temperature. This ensures magnificent and natural colors. Your photos and videos will be enhanced.

What about the selfie camera? It has a 32-megapixel sensor. So, what’s my overall thought on the photo capabilities? From my first tries, it’s very promising. The Find X7 Ultra was already exceptional in photography. This new model looks even more interesting. One might call it a minor update. But the base phone was already excellent. So this is a considerable asset. If you are considering buying it, rest assured. Versatility and photo quality will be there. It will be a real powerhouse in photography.

A Seductive and Powerful High-End Smartphone

So, what is my conclusion on this Oppo Find X8 Ultra? After this first hands-on, I am very impressed. Especially by the product’s finish. It is remarkably well-designed. It is simply beautiful, clearly. It’s one of the few designs with a large camera circle that I appreciate. Along with the Honor Magic 7 Pro, it stands out. Frankly, it’s a success. The design is clean and elegant. That’s a very interesting point.

Regarding the photo capabilities, my first impressions are excellent. It looks really, really, really good. If the performance is similar to another recent test… I had tested a Vivo model, the X200 Pro. It’s the same group as Oppo. A salesperson had given me a demo. I had compared it to the S25 Ultra. The Vivo clearly blew the Samsung away in zoom. The software processing was impressive. If the Oppo Find X8 Ultra offers the same quality, it will be a killer in photography. I am convinced.

Don’t worry if you want to import it. Because the crucial question remains: will it be released in France? For now, we have no official information. But I know that you can already order it. You can import it directly if you wish.
