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.

                  Petition to GSMArena team to include RAW image samples in their review section. Most JPEG processing on smartphones is still done excessively depending on the shooting conditions.

                    Really not worth the trouble , esp with the global presence of Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

                          Eno2, 19 Apr 2025I forgot to attach the link, my bad. https://drive.googl... moreI'm inclined to agree with you here, in the 12MP mode, Find X8 Ultra's detail rendition is easily on par with that of X100 Ultra or Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Find X7 Ultra doesn't have mediocre cameras per se but it's a few steps behind its successor to the point where 25MP mode actually makes a difference. I bet X8 Ultra and X7 Ultra perform quite similarly when you shoot both in 25MP, it's just that the gap between that and 12MP is a lot smaller on the newer model.

                                  "Oppo has copied the iPhone here with this action-like button, but it can be of some use, so why not?"

                                  Dear apple fan editor, mention also who copied who first.

                                  You think buttering apple helps you get more rewards from them but you dont know people losing their trust on your honesty.

                                    Such a nice and competent cameraphone. What a pity that it is not available globally.
                                    So, the only "ultra" cameraphone available outside China is the Xiaomi 15 ultra, beside that there are only "pro" versions available of Vivo and Oppo.
