The badge of honour for the OPPO Find X series may be photography, but that doesn’t mean it falls short in other areas. Bearing the same Hasselblad-branded flair as its predecessor, the OPPO Find X8 Pro has re-entered the flagship arena to challenge the boundaries of everyday camera tech – and without any performance comprises to boot.
Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor and Mali G925 GPU, it stands on even footing with other flagship models. The device also boasts 12GB of RAM, upgradable to 28GB (a base 16GB + 12GB expansion), and 512GB of storage, which is typically sufficient for day-to-day tasks.
Display wise, it features a 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1,264 x 2,780 pixels, and comes in slightly bigger than its non-Pro sibling (6.59 inches and a 1,256 x 2,760 resolution, respectively). Don’t be fooled by the phone’s not-quite-standard CPU and GPU combo, however – the OPPO Find X8 Pro proves to be a dark horse that promises an enjoyable gaming experience.
Whether it’s Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, PUBG Mobile or Arena Breakout, the handset is able to run the show smoothly, with its thermal management ending up as a surprise standout. Check out how well it fares in our gaming test video above, which includes starting temperatures, performance indicators, and other notable findings.
The Oppo Find X8 Pro, retailing for S$1,499 (U.P. S$1,6549) at launch, is available in Pearl White and Space Black. In comparison, the base Find X8 model is currently priced at S$1,249 (U.P. S$1,349) and will in Star Grey, Space Black, and Shell Pink.
