Oppo Find X8 Ultra First Impressions

Another month, another Ultra! Straight out from China, Oppo launches the Find X8 Ultra, a 2025 flagship carrying some serious muscle. You have upgrades everywhere, a real power beast. But hold on, India! Before you activate your tech lust, this Ultra will not be making it down into your subcontinent. Déjà vu, much? Just like the Find X7 Ultra. The good thing is that we managed to grab some early hands-on time. So gear up for our first impressions!

Oppo Find X8 Ultra: The Package

With a warm welcome coming on April 16, this is probably China. Users could choose from three versions, with a 12GB RAM + 256GB storage version priced at CNY 6,499 (Rs. 76,300); a better 16GB RAM + 512GB storage at CNY 6,999 (Rs. 82,200); and an unapologetically highest-top-end version worth CNY 7,999 (Rs. 94,000). The future awaits you, China!

It sports a peak brightness of 1600nits and a pixel density of 510PPI

If the rumors are true, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra will have to be called the slimmest camera smartphone-the one that took the crown from a previous holder. Measuring just 8.78mm, it has once again made last year’s Find X7 Ultra, coming in at 9.5mm, seem downright bulky. That level of svelteness is something the freshly reviewed Xiaomi 15 Ultra (9.48mm) cannot compete with.

Oppo has done more than just reducing the size of Find X8 Ultras; they have pulled off an engineering miracle. New motherboard layout and next-gen silicon-carbon battery tech allow the phone to maintain a profile so thin, it redefines the word “flagship.” Carrying that Apple-esque move forward, Oppo has had two new customizable buttons added. Picture this: a Shortcut Button that instantly launches any application or function of your choice; beside it, the Quick Button is transformed into camera controls that bring pro-level photography to your fingertips.

Of course, cameras are the biggest highlight, and they are always part of Oppo’s Ultra line of smartphones.

It runs on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15

Oppo Find X8 Ultra: Initial Thoughts

This Oppo Find X8 Ultra doesn’t just sit in the palm of your hand; it announces itself. Flagship first touch, and theoretically? Oppo’s most audacious creation yet. Wrapped in Matte Black, Pure White, or the Shell Pink I held, this cannot simply be called a phone; it’s an expression. The pink gives off a soft quiet ambience, with the matte texture providing another vector to pure elegance rather than technology.

With 6.82-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display, the Find X8 Ultra offers eye candy brightness and crispness. Dolby Vision support is an added bonus for multimedia lovers-a real cinema experience for every video. My first encounter involved me getting lost in articles and binging some videos-the screen really won me over. But that is one opinion with less research-a savory appetizer of what is to come.

It sports a five-camera setup at the back that Oppo touts as the “Holy Trinity in your pocket”

Equipped with the Hasselblad name, the Find X8 Ultra is certainly getting into that trend where premium smartphone cameras rub shoulders with photography royalty. Think Oppo and Hasselblad, Vivo and Zeiss, Xiaomi and Leica: three-tech-titan team camera collaboration cage match.

Prepare to be completely blown away! The Oppo Find X8 Ultra isn’t just raising the standards-it’s smashing them-huge-into-the-penta-camera system. Imagine the 50MP main lens making the universe look beautiful with the massive 1-inch Sony LYT-900 sensor; brilliant colors, sharp details, and, thanks to OIS, smooth stabilization. The ultra wide lens carries with it a 50MP Samsung JN5 sensor, happily capturing expansive landscapes.

Worth noting is of course the telephoto duo: A 50MP Sony LYT700 with 3x periscope zoom, and the second 50MP Sony LYT-600 equivalent set with OIS, all-out 120x digital zoom, and 6x periscope abilities. It allows crystal clarity on distant subjects. To top it off, feeling free beyond color accuracy exists the dedicated 2MP multispectral color sensor.

Selfie lovers, rejoice! The 32MP Sony IMX809 front camera ensures your portraits are always picture-perfect.

And the pièce de résistance? All the rear cameras are capable of recording at 4K 60fps with Dolby Vision. I repeat, you read that right. Prepare to be left speechless by the video quality. Oppo Find X8 Ultra is more than just a smart phone: it’s a pocket-size film studio.

The phone offers plenty of modes, including Hasselblad Portrait Mode

Find X8 Ultra doesn’t merely capture pictures; it paints them. Even if just for a few moments of trying out, the power of the camera is evident in bright artwork below. Expect the details to be so crisp you could almost touch them; the colors are alive, and noise is strictly controlled. Consider this a tantalizing preview; our in-depth review is soon arriving. We will describe in detail how the Find X8 Ultra steps up in its camera profile from the already legendary Find X7 Ultra-device we have earlier crowned a camera powerhouse. Prepare to be shocked.

Oppo Ultra launch was not limited to the mere smartphone; it also threw the doors wide open for Lumo, an image processing engine that is all-out for next-generation smartphone photography. Stay away from minor improvements: According to Oppo, Lumo brings quantum improvements to clarity, speed, and color accuracy. The promise: images so vibrant and sharp, they seem to come alive on the screen. Lumo was put to a stand test, and I will be going into detail in the next review to see if it is worth the hype or not.

This comes with rock-solid dependability, since its water and dust resistance goes all the way to IP68/IP69. It even famously carries an SGS drop resistance certification to the maximum, five stars. With the speedy 3D ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking mechanism, every touch left to right is smooth and secure.

The Find X8 Ultra was an absolute breeze to operate. I can only say so much with my brief hands-on session before I let the gadget experts take over and give you a full performance deep-dive in our detailed review. Stay tuned!

Oppo Find X8 Ultra packs a 6100mAh battery and supports 100W fast-charging

Oppo is setting a different parameter for battery life with the Find X8 Ultra. Bye-bye battery anxiety; this phone is blessed with a big battery of a colossal 6100mAh, putting most batteries to shame. And in that rare case you still need to juice it up? It will charge to full in hardly 30 minutes with 100W SuperVOOC charging. Uncompromised power.

The inimitable points supported by Oppo’s Find X8 Ultra assure powerful 2025 Champion camera phone performance. Without a doubt, the Find X8 Ultra will win out. It is official and final.
