    Shamrock Sean, 18 Apr 2025Please be quiet and stop calling people fanboys it's s... moreTake ya own advice and shush, I can say what I want as long as i dont break any rules.

    Worse battery life, worse UI, less software updates, not released in other countries and barely any better battery even though its 1000mah more.

    Its a flop simple as that unless you want it for cameras.

    Numpty

                Eh, it's not like real telephoto lenses don't operate the same way. Unless you attach some sort of macro converter, I don't think there exists any telephoto lens that focuses very close.

                  1157 nits in auto mode is pretty disappointing for what's supposed to be an "Ultra" phone. It's been like this since last year's Ultra, and neither of those got as bright as the X6 Pro and X8 Pro. Meanwhile Vivo's been using OLED panels that get 700 nits brighter than what Oppo's been using. That's a pretty stark difference and you'll quickly want those 700 nits when you're trying to use your phone (with no special anti-reflective glass like GGA) outside while the sun is right above you

                    Great review as always. The camera bump looks way way better than Vivo X200 Ultra. If this phone were made available everywhere, I would get it.

                      xslvrxslwt, 18 Apr 2025OK I've finished camera samples..and man..does it suck... moreThe samples that GSMArena posted suggest that Find X8 Ultra's main camera in indoor is at least on par with Find X7 Ultra as far as the details are concerned, and markedly better in low light. There are more textures are to be seen on the former's photos. Not to mention, FX8U seems to have an actual 50MP JPEG mode which captures more details than the 12MP counterpart - FX7U's "50MP" was literally just an upscaled 12MP unless you shoot in RAW IIRC.

                      We definitely need a comparison between the 25MP mode on both phones, though. I remember it was having a very positive impact on detail rendition on FX7U, but it seems borderline indistinguishable from the 12MP mode on FX8U.

                        "There's one unusual flaw that you may or may not run into - if you have moving bright lights in the frame, they can get rendered weirdly in a hard to describe ghost-like way (the fifth sample below)."
                        Thanks for showing this. In a previous comment I wrote thst these are the best tele camera low light sample images I have seen from a phone, but I stand corrected. These artifacts are terrible and unacceptable. The bokeh in the 6th low light sample image of the 6x camera looks extremely artificial as well. It seems that it's maybe due to the same image processing issue.

                          No global ROM - no worries. Sammy all the way!

                            Seems like this phone is best portrait phone among all, very good skin tones, combined with detail nearly as good as vivo X200 pro and micro contrast as good as xiaomi 15 U. If it were globally available I would insta buy it.

                              They also state the software version for tests as they frequently retest phones.

                                I would say very good camera, but there is one thing that I do like. On photos from ultra wide and 6x there is visible pattern of generated small details. I hope that can be switched off. Also I would like to see in such test some basic DNG test.

                                  I think that overall these might be the best smartphone tele camera low light sample images I have ever seen. Though it's not clear which details are fake/AI.

                                    The design of the 6x periscope camera is interesting.
                                    1. Lenses are in the plane of the smartphone, so no need for rectangular lenses
                                    2. Light enters the lenses before it reaches a prism
                                    3. There are two prisms.

                                      I'd encourage anyone thinking about getting the Chinese version to rethink. I once got a Realme with a Chinese ROM and even with ColorOS set to English, half of the UI remained in Chinese. Even the changelog for OTA updates was in Chinese.

                                      The photos from this phone are lovely. For people that don't like them, I suggest getting a pocket sized camera like the Sony RX100, as you're unlikely to be satisfied with camera phones.
