A sleek flagship thats also pleasantly durable, the Find 8X Pro is seriously impressive.
Boasting powerful Hasselblad cameras, the smartphone can definitely take a pretty photo.
And the 6.78-inch display is one of the brightest Ive encountered thus far.

Or you could adjust the color temperature from warm to cold or something custom.
Still, as a flagship phone, the resolution could be higher.

Wide shots
My favorite is a wide shot of a hornets nest.
I also captured a few shots of my puppies, accurately capturing their adorableness.
The former boasts a 120x digital zoom to the latters 100x.
But as youll discover with both phones, maxing out the zoom leads to incredibly blurry shots.
Selfie shots
The selfie cam is no slouch, either.
His skin tone was warm with red undertones, offset by his olive-colored T-shirt.
However, the battery life will differ depending on how you use the phone.
The smartphone is capable of 80W wired fast charging or 50W wireless.
However, youll have to fork out some extra cash for Oppos proprietary wireless charger.
Its got a unique, eye-catching design, a stunning display, and a great set of cameras.
While the Color OS user interface is Android software, it offers features similar to modern iPhones.
Hell, Oppo even made sure that the phones play nice when transferring files.
Plus, a host of AI features launch the gamut of productivity and photo editing.
This is one of the few smartphones that have upended the iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of performance.
The phone also has great battery life, depending on what youre doing.
Regarding the display, if this is a flagship, I expected a higher resolution for the price.
Then theres the brightness.
