    Resorting to blanket statements and racism to make yourself look good is so 1980s, just letting you know.

      1100 NITS OF BRIGHTNESS?

      WHAT YEARS IT IS? Lmao feels like my old iphone 11 pro max

      This is why I love gsmarena, the brightness sampling is real, not that bullshit 1 dot OLED that can reach 4500 brightness and they advertised it as 4500 nits brightness

Even the name Oppo sounds like a knockoff of Apple. Oppo uses stolen technology to make cool smartphones that I am a fan of, but Apple is more than capable of releasing phones like this and to be perfectly clear, Oppo is definitely copying Apple.

                Am I crazy?

                The 25mp with the main camera are amazing. There's a lot of fine detail there compared to the over sharpened mess that the iPhone offers with their "24mp".

                I guess GSMArena are getting used to overprocessing as years go by.

                Now, the 25mp from the periscope cameras are a different thing and still, they offer as much detail as the iPhone and their 24mp.

                  SadSoul, 20 Apr 2025As a regular visitor to gsmarena site for like more than 2 ... moreTwo chinese dudes did a real life comparison of 15U and FX8U and FX8U actually won - by a minute. Both were terrible though, 5h40min both, shameful for 6k mah.

                  Their usage was:
                  5G both,
                  navigating the city,
                  playing same games,
                  snapping same pictures and videos,
                  etc.

                  Though 15U dimmed display after 30 seconds of being outside and started thermal throttling real hard after dropping Hz to 60 unlike OPPO that actually stayed peak brightness for the entirety of the test (way better than 15U, S25U, etc.)

                    Nick Tegrataker, 20 Apr 2025I'm inclined to agree with you here, in the 12MP mode,... moreThis is my assumption too, that 12.5MP is actually done well this time around..even on FX7U it's getting very hard to notice a difference after OTAs (except dynamic range drops a bit in 25MP obviously)..

                    as for it being on par with X100U - it is, even during the night BUT some part of images do lose texture (left side of the image I compared was better on x100u while the right side had more details on fx8u)

                    FX8U colors were way better too

                    though they're not the best.

                        [deleted post]yeah this is why i didnt want to argue further, this sort of childish, petty thing was bound to happen sooner rather than later. You just did a nice self-report

                          Eno2, 20 Apr 2025Actually it is my own summary, and for anybody who is not b... moreyeah and im saying it doesnt seem to say anything out of the norm, the gsmarena review is enough, Apart from the 7th point there isn't really anything cool out there and your derogatory posts have only angered others so not bringing anything new to the table really makes you look pretentious, that's it.

                          If you were a little less obnoxious then maybe i'd have been okay with it but this is just blatant glazing. Listen, I personally have no malice towards you, but i dont see any point to what you're doing.

                              Eduard33, 18 Apr 2025I've said it many many times, Gsm's battery test ... moreAs a regular visitor to gsmarena site for like more than 2 decades now, I can very strongly agree with you on this, ofcourse counting from the time gsmarena started this battery testing methods. They somewhat changed the testing procedure for the last few years but the results are still heavily questionable.

                                    Image Quality Analysis of the Oppo Find X8 Ultra

                                    Source: The analysis is based on a thorough examination of photos and videos available on GSMArena: https://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find_x8_ultra-review-2822p5.php.

                                    1. Photo Quality and Resolution

                                    • Default Settings and Available Resolutions:
                                    • The Oppo Find X8 Ultra uses computational photography by default, combining multiple frames (stacking) on each camera to achieve higher resolution.
                                    • Users can export images at 12.5 MP (resized for maximum clarity), 26 MP, or 50 MP.
                                    • Resolution Differences:
                                    • The 26 MP and 50 MP options offer visibly higher resolution compared to 12.5 MP, although the 12.5 MP setting is nearly perfect in terms of clarity.
                                    • Recommendation: It’s worth shooting at 26 MP consistently for the best balance of detail and clarity.
                                    • The 50 MP mode performs very well in certain scenarios but depends on how steady the phone is held and how much the subjects in the frame move. Motion can introduce artifacts.

                                    2. Low-Light (Night) Performance

                                    • Night Photos:
                                    • All cameras produce clear images in low-light conditions.
                                    • However, the computational algorithms need further refinement: strange artifacts appear around moving cars and their headlights (e.g., streaks or halos).
                                    • 3x Telephoto Camera (70 mm equivalent):
                                    • This camera exhibits unusual artifacts, such as halos with streaks around specular LED lights (e.g., streetlights or car headlights). These artifacts are also noticeable in night videos.
                                    • The other sensors do not show these issues in video mode.
                                    • 6x Telephoto Camera (135 mm equivalent):
                                    • There is a slight blooming effect (a diffuse halo) around bright lights, particularly those tending toward white.
                                    • The effect is more pronounced at 50 MP resolution or with higher digital zoom levels.

                                    3. Ultrawide Camera Performance (Samsung JN5)

                                    • Comparison with Find X7 Ultra:
                                    • The ultrawide sensor, Samsung JN5 (1/2.75 inch), is nearly twice as small as the Sony LYT-600 (1/2 inch) used in the Find X7 Ultra.
                                    • Thanks to advanced computational algorithms and processing, the JN5 produces visibly better images than its larger predecessor, both in good light and low-light conditions, as well as in video mode.

                                    4. Video Quality

                                    • 4K Resolution:
                                    • 4K videos are smooth and high-quality at all focal lengths.
                                    • In low-light conditions (night), the camera tends to use a 2x crop from the 70 mm sensor instead of the 135 mm sensor when light levels drop significantly.
                                    • Frame Rates:
                                    • All cameras support video recording at 30 fps and 60 fps.
                                    • 4K recording at 120 fps is available only on the 23 mm (main) and 70 mm (3x telephoto) cameras.
                                    • The phone also supports Full HD at 240 fps, but it’s unclear on how many cameras this is available (further testing required).

                                    5. Tonal Range, Colors, and Dynamic Range

                                    • The tonality, colors, and white balance (WB) are very good across all focal lengths.
                                    • The larger Sony sensors (LYT-900, LYT-700, LYT-600) offer better dynamic range (DR) and more detail compared to the ultrawide camera (Samsung JN5).

                                    6. Macro Functionality

                                    • 3x Telephoto Camera (70 mm):
                                    • The macro function has been moved to the 70 mm sensor, allowing focusing as close as 10 cm from the lens.
                                    • Macro shots can be taken at 50 MP resolution, providing additional magnification through cropping if desired.
                                    • 6x Telephoto Camera (135 mm):
                                    • This camera lacks macro functionality and cannot focus at close distances.

                                    7. Additional Observations and Future Testing

                                    • Master Mode:
                                    • JPG and RAW images at 12.5 MP are single-shot captures.
                                    • Computational RAW and JPG at 50 MP are also available, but their performance requires further testing.
                                    • Motion Priority:
                                    • The observations above apply to standard photo and video modes.
                                    • Algorithms may change when prioritizing motion, which requires further testing.
                                    • General Note:
                                    • The analysis focuses solely on photo and video modes.
