I tested the Oppo Find X8 Pro and it has everything Apple wanted in the iPhone 16 Pro.

Two years. That’s how long it’s been since Oppo decided not to release a high-end smartphone on the European market following a conflict over Nokia patents. Having addressed this issue, the Asian company confirmed earlier this year that it would be bringing its flagship line back to Europe, and that’s exactly what it has done with the recently announced model. Oppo Find X8 Pro.

New Oppo mobile phone It has almost everything to compete with the biggest ones on the market.. First of all, compared to the iPhone 16 Pro. It has a very smart design, a premium processor and a top-notch photo section. all this without sacrificing areas like the screen or battery.

But if there’s one thing Oppo wants to stand out with, it’s AI. Find X8 Pro uses several AI features applied to the camera and performance enhancements: photo modes, image editing, translation, automatic reactions and more. These are features that every other manufacturer offers, but in this case there is an important difference: They are obviously useful and work very well. At least that’s what we were able to verify on first contact, when we also experimented with this device’s other stellar features.

Premium design and surprise guest screen

In fact, apart from artificial intelligence, the Oppo Find X8 Pro has a number of very striking sections. one of them its design. This is the first thing that catches your eye as soon as you hold your smartphone in your hands.

Oppo has kept its essence, but at the same time has mixed up the essence of OnePlus a little; Find X8 Pro has alert slider Typical of the brand founded by Pete Lau and Karl Pei are aluminum frames with a matte finish that are very pleasant to the touch, and a glass back that makes them much more elegant.

The front panel maintains a premium aesthetic, while the screen makes the Find X8 Pro look even more elegant. This 6.78-inch AMOLED panel120Hz refresh rate, 1264 x 2780 pixel resolution and up to 4500 nits maximum brightness. This is complemented by the heart attack accumulator: 5910 mAhwhich is also compatible with Oppo’s 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

Fun fact: Find X8 Pro is not equipped with the latest Qualcomm version, but uses MediaTek. Smartphone includes Dimension 9400, which directly competes with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and A18 Pro chip. It also has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

These are their cameras

Another one of the most striking features of the Find X8 Pro, apart from the AI, is the camera. And not the lenses themselves, which are also worth mentioning, but because the company has, in a sense, copied one of the stellar features of the iPhone 16 Pro: camera control. The one on the Find blockade.

Let’s talk about their resolution. The smartphone is equipped with four 50-megapixel lenses. Each, of course, has its own function.

• We find Main sensor 50 megapixels with f/1.6 aperture.
• Also with ultra wide angle camera the same resolution with f/2.0 aperture.
• The third sensor is Telephoto lens with periscope 50 megapixels Capable of taking photos with 3x optical zoom.
• Fourth, another periscope telephoto lens of the same resolution, capable of 6x optical zoom.

Oppo claims that the Find X8 Pro is the first smartphone to feature a dual periscope camera system, which improves zoom quality at any magnification. The company also allows you to further improve the quality of those images that are blurry or whose range is so large that they inevitably become blurry. This is where AI comes into play.

Find X8 Pro AI Features

There is no doubt that the most interesting AI features in this Find X8 Pro are centered on the camera. Notably, the company has included various image editing and enhancement modes available since its launch. One of them Zoom telescope with artificial intelligencewhich can improve the quality of enlarged images. Oppo also has AI Blurwhich can focus and improve the quality of blurry photos. The most interesting thing is AI Reflection A remover that can remove glare that appears in photographs.

In addition to this, Oppo has also added AI features that were present in the Reno 12 Pro, such as the feature to remove unwanted elements from an image or the feature to create portraits using generative AI.

Apart from the camera, the Find X8 Pro has other AI features that focus on entertainment and productivity. One of them AI documentswhich can translate, correct or summarize both documents and PDF files. AI Notesin turn, allows you to change the format of notes, classify them using dots, and much more. AND AI response During a conversation, you can respond in different tones. The latter is compatible with almost any messaging app, including WhatsApp.

Do they work well? As we were able to verify those available in the Reno 12 Pro and after first contact, the artificial intelligence functions of the Find X8 Pro seem to work very well; especially those applied to the camera. However, it is necessary to test how they work in a more real and everyday scenario.

The Oppo Find X8 Pro has everything it takes to be the best Android iPhone alternative. But at what cost?

The capabilities of the Oppo Find X8 Pro a priori make it one of the best alternatives to the Apple iPhone 16 Pro. It has a promising camera setup, haptic controls that greatly improve the user experience, and AI features already available that make the photography section much more versatile. Now, At what price is all this available?

Find X8 Pro arrives in Spain priced at 1249 eurosthe price is similar to the iPhone 16 Pro (1219 euros) and slightly cheaper than the iPhone 16 Pro Max (1469 euros). It’s also a price very similar to other premium phones from manufacturers like Samsung or Xiaomi. This means that Oppo could have a chance to become one of the best options in terms of features.
