The Oppo Find X8 Ultra could come with a button instead of an alert slider

08 February 2025
Oppo might be looking to ditch the slider for a simpler but more customizable control.

AnonD-1138744, 10 Feb 2025Not gonna buy this beautiful phone sadly. I am not into AI... moreI think it's a Vivo, that constantly uses AI on all their photos, especially on the faces. Despite Oppo is less aggressive and more natural

    Not gonna buy this beautiful phone sadly.
    I am not into AI photography.
    I will buy Vivo X200 Ultra.
    Yes, it also uses AI image processing, but only in darker places and big zooms.
    In bright places it uses normal image processing, same image processing like in real cameras, for example Canon EOS R1.

    I prefer normal image processing pixels aka the white dots.

    I have seen videos where people talk about phone AI cameras and 1 of them actually researched deeper and according to his research AI image processing deletes small details, like hair and knuckles.
    That's a big no no, to me.

    And AI image processing looks like a chalkboard painting, in my opinion.

    I own Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Vivo X100 Ultra.
    Well, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is my daily driver, but I also bought it to PROVE a point, that Samsung fell off!!!!
    Ouch.
    New camera king came and destroyed Samsung!!!!!

    And yes, in pro mode, Vivo X100 Ultra uses 0 AI image processing and 0 post processing!!!!
    That means, Vivo X100 Ultra uses normal image processing even in darker places.
    I use ISO at 50 and slow shutter speeds!!!!

    Normal image processing is still the king!!!!!
    That's why so many small megapixel camera brands still don't use AI!!!!
    🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

    Canon EOS R1 is 24 megapixels!!!!
    Amazing big white dots aka normal image processing pixels!!!!
    0 AI!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I use 200MP mode a lot and I am in love!!!!
    I love landscape photography!!!!!!

    I don't take night photos and if sun gets blocked by the clouds, I will use pro mode.
    ISO 50 and slow shutter speeds.
    Sadly 200MP mode doesn't work in Pro mode, but 50MP is still good enough!!!!!
    A tripod if needed, of course.

      I have very little hope of the 1 incher for returning, seems like everyone is holding on on bringing the best to the market

        I personally prefer the alert slider on both the iphone... this is a disappointment. The Alert Switch is super helpful when you're in public.

          Plz release globally

            Anonymous, 09 Feb 2025Why not both????This. I'd have loved it if both were there but ig they're holding off for the future so they can tout it as an innovation.

              Just my opinion, 09 Feb 2025Gone are the days of innovative designs. Now it's just... moreIt's Oppo, what do you expect? They saved money from having original design ideas, and put the efforts into hiring celebrities and youtubers.

                stop copying apple for gods sake what is the point of the button if I cant tell whether its silent or not without looking at the screen or waiting for the damn vibration to tell me

                  vik457, 09 Feb 2025Afaik they use dol hdrdunno what that does but at the end of the day im not a fan of their processing

                    jiyen235, 09 Feb 2025I'm a huge fan of Oppo's philosophy. Like I think... moreAfaik they use dol hdr

                      Darth Caesium, 09 Feb 2025Regardless, with that amazing camera setup, and the talk of... moreI'm a huge fan of Oppo's philosophy. Like I think they have the best processing philosophy (at least in daytime), the only gripes i have at night time is that their noise reduction is too aggressive and there's little to no details in most occasions. However, even that could've been forgiven.

                      What's completely unforgivable is the HDR halo that subjects have around them in extreme scenarios. It's been there since the Oneplus 11/Oppo Find X6 Pro and I'm sick of it. Oppo's processing in every other department is quite elegant but in this scenario they struggle like this? It's a 5/10 shot by itself but the shots feel even worse because the Oppo takes 8-10/10 shots each time. The downgrade in quality is noticeable.

                      If they could've fixed the aggressive night time Noise Reduction and the high contrast HDR subject haloing issues, this would've been phone of the year despite the X200 Ultra being there. As it stands I can't recommend Oppo to some camera enthusiast NOR a point and shoot normie.

                      To show what I mean here's some examples :

                                The x8 ultra is looking good, but one thing that I don't believe is the flat screen. It doesn't seem like it will make m

                                    Can this button also remove the greenline screen problem instantly ?

                                      Oppo not beating the O-Phone allegations. Sad that they're focusing on changing the slider to a button instead of adding a dedicated camera shutter BUTTON on an Ultra phone. Cringe.
