Another Ultra phone has made its way to our reviews. But I’m disappointed that this one won’t be available in India. Yes, the Find X8 Ultra is the successor to the Find X7 Ultra (which also never launched in India). This means that the

Portraits also come out well, and below is a sample captured in the middle of nowhere en route to Spiti. I really love how the phone manages to keep skin tone and facial details rendered well without oversharpening. The depth estimation is also accurate, and subject isolation is perfect.
The two telephoto cameras offer a big advantage to the Find X8 Ultra, especially when you compare them to the Find X8 Pro. The 3x telephoto sensor comes in handy for your macro shots as well as regular shots.

The samples had great details, accurate exposure and colours. The best part is that the noise is well-managed across lighting conditions. The 6x lens is equally useful for zoom shots. It is great for reach, and I got some amazing 6x shots with plenty of details, excellent dynamic range, and crisp colours.

The 50-megapixel ultrawide camera does well too. It managed to get some excellent shots in different lighting situations.

The low-light samples on the Find X8 Ultra came out really well. The two shots below have been clicked in pitch-dark conditions. See how well these are processed without overdoing anything. I like the point that noise is well-managed.

The selfie camera is a 32-megapixel shooter but doesn’t get bells and whistles like the rear ones. The daylight shots come out really well, and the low-light shots are decent. But, nothing that blew me or I can write home about. For videos, all the cameras on Find X8 Ultra support up to 4K (60 fps) recording. The rear also gets 4K (120fps) support. The phone doesn’t support 8K recording but gets Dolby Vision support.

Overall, with Find X8 Ultra, Oppo again sets a benchmark for smartphone photography. I will repeat that this one is China-locked and may never reach India. The company introduced its all-new image processing engine, Lumo, which really works across lenses and focuses on portraits. But I hope the 1-inch sensor and the camera tech in any avatar make their way to India because the camera prowess is the best we have seen from Oppo so far.

Oppo Find X8 Ultra Battery: Your last man-standing phone
- Capacity: 6100mAh battery
- Fast-charging – 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging, 50W wireless charging
- 10W reverse wireless charging
The Oppo Find X8 Ultra packs a large 6100mAh battery, a big bump from the Find X7 Ultra’s 5000mAh battery and the Find X8 Pro’s 5910mAh unit. It also has 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging, 50W AIRVOOC wireless, and 10W reverse wireless charging.
During my tests, the Find X8 Ultra could easily last over a day of heavy usage. My testing involved over 30 apps open in the background, including utility, chat, gaming, and office apps alongside other multimedia apps like YouTube, Netflix, ESPNCricinfo, and more. Considering the Find X8 Ultra is a camera-centric smartphone, I included a full hour of camera usage that heated the phone a bit but didn’t impact the battery drain much. The Find X8 Ultra can charge up to 60% (from scratch) in less than 20 minutes, thanks to fast charging.
The Find X8 Ultra packs a 6100mAh battery
In our HD video loop test, the Find X8 Ultra lasted for roughly 23 hours and 35 minutes, which sets a benchmark for phones we tested lately. The Find X8 Ultra definitely sets a benchmark in the battery department.
Oppo Find X8 Ultra Verdict
The Find X8 Ultra is another superb phone from Oppo that you won’t be able to buy or, as an expert, I can’t recommend it to readers in India. Much like some other Ultras, the Find X8 Ultra comes with a 1-inch sensor that makes it super elite in the class of camera phones. Considering that the Find X8 Pro doesn’t get this, Oppo should have introduced the Ultra in India, maybe as a limited edition, and it would have been a package worth checking for camera smartphone enthusiasts despite the high price tag.
Oppo Find X8 Ultra packs two physical buttons – Shortcut and Quick Button
The Find X8 Ultra ticks a lot of boxes, including solid design, display, performance, and battery. Of course, the cameras remain a highlight of the device. Especially the decision to cut down some weight in favour of bringing a sleek camera phone is a masterstroke. Imagine getting a 1-inch sensor without carrying a bulky phone, which is a shot worth taking. The addition of dedicated physical buttons may work for users who love quick access to features without the need to toggle multiple options on the screen.
If you’re reading this review in India and are still looking for a great camera smartphone, then the Xiaomi 15 Ultra (Review) is a phone you should look at. There’s also the Vivo X200 Pro (Review) that’s equally fantastic and capable. If budget is no bar, then the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (Review) is also a great package, though not limited to just cameras but overall.
