Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro Hands-On
Oppo has relaunched its Find X series in India with its brand-new Find X8 and Find X8 Pro smartphones. The phones have been released in India after a four-year gap and so appear to have a ton of upgrades and changes over the last Find X2 series, which was announced in India back in 2020.

Oppo did drop a hint about its Find X8 series coming to India by allowing us to

The 6X telephoto zoom is also good for close-ups

After my initial usage, it’s difficult for me to draw a verdict about which phone is better and which phone offers better value. From a camera perspective, the Find X8 Pro definitely has an edge in the zoom department, as not many premium smartphones offer 6X optical zoom these days. As for the Find X8, despite having fewer cameras, it also seems quite capable, but I’ll have to test out both devices in different scenarios to see and deduce each phone’s strengths and weaknesses, not just with their cameras but with their design, battery life, and displays as well. So, stay tuned for our detailed review of the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, which will be out soon.
