Oppo Find X8 Ultra review

17 April 2025


Sort by:

It's weird that they removed some of the frequency bands from the X7 Ultra that worked in USA. I wonder if it had anything to do with the Nokia lawsuit. I heard they settled and agreed to pay royalties so maybe those bands used Nokia tech so they didn't want to add them to a China only phone?

    ASL, 27 May 2025How do Satellites recognize China land borders? I mean for ... moreThe data that your device will send to satellite needs ID, and your ID is your sim card. (I remember Huawei's first satellite phone was not even working with all Chinese sim cards!)

      Resolution test with June 2025 update: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1A8c-xwwDK3Hm7jzulzBT1REcucnOtnDK?usp=drive_link

      Shoot from the same spot, one image at 12,5 MP, the other at 26 MP and the third a high resolution 50MP.
      I've also made a side by same comparison of the 12,5 MP one vs the 50 MP one, at the same magnification, so the details can be easily exterminated.

      The GSMArena statement is untrue, IMO:
      "What we're struggling a bit more to see is any real advantage in shooting in 25MP resolution on the main camera...It's sort of a similar story with the switch to 50MP - things are just getting progressively softer on a pixel level, and if there's an actual extra amount of detail, it's not plain to see."

      O.B.S.: the camera doesn't have a 25 MP mode, but a 26 MP mode (5888x4416 pixels).

        Wesker, 19 Apr 2025Another brilliant example of stellar Chinese hardware annih... moreI think you really can judge the phone after exploring its capacities for a longer time. A better setting, can make a difference.

        Samples over the internet, not says everything. What my eyes see, on these posted pictures of Vivo and Oppo, is that on some reviews the one look better and opposite. I am not fan of any brand. Coming from analog, then used indeed my Sony RX 100 camera for years, going to the Samsung S 23 U, has been a let down. On a monitor, it looks artificial, sharpened and flat.

        By again, seeing tons of pictures, the Oppo Find 8, look the most like taken with a real camera. The pictures have more depth. The Vivo colours look a bit more natural, the Oppo bit too red, but I find the processing more visible to my taste and eye. This not mean that oppo not has heavy processing, but it has for me an more natural look.

        The screen of the Oppo, that is for me the biggest let down. It is already difficult enough to take a pic in bright sun, and that should only be improved, like Samsung did on the 25 U
        And after stating this, I say again, I need to have each phone in my hand to see if finally I see a phone, that gives me as much pleasure as my digital cameras...

          Anonymous, 20 May 2025the satellites only work in china.How do Satellites recognize China land borders? I mean for instance Europe isn't too far north if a pure Chinese version is bought with all needed? Or it doesn't even get English menus that one?

            Anonymous, 18 May 2025it’s not worth it as they know it won’t get a lot of salesI think the same but it would make more sense to make the ultra versions global instead of just the other versions. But also in a sense the cheaper models are the ones majority of buying internationally. Not the flagships.

              It depends on the company you use, i suggest.

                Which 5G bands are critical in the US.

                          "It's an absolute beast when it comes to battery life, performance, and camera quality. My favorite feature is the gaming mode that allows the phone to draw power without charging the battery, keeping it cool even during long PUBG sessions while plugged in."

                            djamesz, 29 Apr 2025a proper ultra without e-sim... for me really a missed oppo... moreapart from oroaming - there's literally at least 2 to 3 ways to get esim support to non-esim phone.

                              I was about to criticize the battery test because I got an update and the phone is a beast in battery dept...fixed 👍

And YouTube IS important, dude. You don't see Apple devices having YouTube and Gmail pre-installed or something? You don't watch YouTube videos?
