Oppo has officially unveiled its latest flagship phones, the Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, at an event in Bali.
Despite the handsets being launched in Indonesia, both will be available in Europe. This is a marked change from Oppo, which didn’t launch the Find X6 or Find X7 series outside China.
These models bring notable upgrades across design, display, performance, and cameras, positioning them as some of the best phones you can buy.
We have full reviews of the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, but if you just want to know the key details, read on.
When will the Oppo Find X8 be released?
The Oppo Find X8 and X8 Pro were initially announced at an event in China on 24 October 2024, before shipments began six days later.
The global launch of both phones, including in the UK, followed a month later at an event in Bali, Indonesia on 21 November 2024.
In the UK, you can buy the Find X8 and X8 Pro directly from Oppo and via O2 on contract. As usual, the phones won’t be available in the US.

What’s more, according to reputable source Digital Chat Station (via GSMArena), Oppo may also introduce a fourth model, the Find X8 Mini, alongside the Ultra variant.
However, even if that phone launches at some point, it may never be released outside China.
How much does the Oppo Find X8 cost?
In the UK, the Find X8 Pro costs £1,049 for a model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The 16GB/512GB version available in China doesn’t appear to be making its way to Europe.
As it stands, we haven’t been given the exact pricing of the Oppo Find X8 in the UK. Based on the Indonesian pricing, we expect it to start at £699 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s also available with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and that’ll likely cost £799.
In China, the regular Find X8 starts at CNY 4,199, which translates to roughly £485. However, phones always cost significantly more once they reach the global market.

The Find X7 series wasn’t available globally so it’s hard to determine how much the Find X8 series might actually cost in the UK and Europe.
The Find X7 Ultra retailed for CNY 5,999 in China (around £800/$1000), so expect the Find X8 Ultra to be priced similarly.
As for the Mini model, we also have no concrete information on how much it could cost. It will probably be a little less or a little more than the CNY 4,199 (around £485/$590) price of the standard Find X8.
What specs and features will the Oppo Find X8 have?
Design
Oppo has introduced a refined, compact design for the Find X8 series.
Both the standard and Pro models incorporate Oppo’s new ‘Cosmos Ring’ camera island on the back, a visually striking feature that’s smaller than previous models but packed with powerful hardware.
The design is sleek, with clean lines and a slightly curved back that makes the phone comfortable to hold.
The Find X8’s colour palette includes sophisticated shades like Star Grey, Space Black, and Shell Pink, providing options ranging from understated to bold.

The Pro model’s larger body not only allows for a more advanced periscope lens but also houses a ‘Quick Button,’ a practical addition for camera control.
The alert slider also makes a return, allowing users to instantly switch sound profiles. Both models also have an IP69 rating, making them highly resistant to water and dust.
Luke Baker
When it comes to the dimensions, the Find X8 and X8 Pro measures 7.85mm and 8.34mm, with weights of 193g and 215g, respectively.
Leaker Digital Chat Station expects the Find X8 Mini to be a small-screen flagship, though it’s not clear exactly how compact it’ll be, or if any key specs are compromised to make it smaller.
Display
Oppo has paid significant attention to the Find X8’s display, making it one of the highlights of the device.
The Find X8 features a 6.59-inch flat LTPO OLED panel with FHD+ resolution and a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, providing smooth scrolling and enhanced responsiveness. This versatile display is designed to conserve battery life by adjusting the refresh rate based on usage.
Luke Baker
On the other hand, the Find X8 Pro boasts a larger 6.78-inch LTPO OLED display with FHD+ resolution, which uses a micro-quad-curved design, a unique approach that combines a mostly flat panel with subtle curvature on all four edges.
Both displays can achieve up to 1,600 nits peak brightness for standard use and an impressive 4,500 nits peak brightness for HDR content, making them among the brightest screens on the market.
Both models also include an optical under-display fingerprint scanner for seamless unlocking and have a front-facing camera embedded in the screen.
Luke Baker
The Find X8 Mini will almost certainly have a smaller display than the regular Find X8 (6.59 inches), but that’s all we know about its screen at this stage.
Performance
Performance is a major upgrade in the Oppo Find X8 series, as these are the first Oppo devices to feature MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset.
This powerful processor, combined with an advanced cooling system, promises a smooth experience for both everyday tasks and high-performance applications.
Luke Baker
Oppo claims the chipset offers 35% faster CPU and 41% faster GPU, plus higher scores in benchmarks, than the Redmagic 9S Pro while playing Honor of Kings.
The cooling system integrates a graphite layer, vapour chamber and thermal conductive gel applied directly to the motherboard, potentially allowing for better heat management during prolonged gaming or multi-tasking. This setup should help to prevent overheating, ensuring the phone runs efficiently even under heavy loads.

Cameras
The Find X8 series features an advanced camera system that caters to both casual photographers and photography enthusiasts.
The Find X8 model includes a main camera with a 50Mp main (1/1.53-inch) Sony LYT-700 sensor, and a 24mm equivalent lens with optical image stabilisation (OIS) for sharp, stable images.
Its ultrawide camera uses a 50Mp (1/2.75-inch) ISOCELL JN5 sensor with autofocus and a 15mm equivalent lens, perfect for wide landscapes and group shots.
There’s also a 50Mp 3x periscope telephoto camera with an IMX882 sensor (1/1.95-inch size) and OIS, utilising a compact triple prism design to save space without compromising zoom quality.
Luke Baker
In the Find X8 Pro model, the ultrawide and 3x telephoto cameras from the Find X8 are retained, but the main camera is upgraded to a 50Mp LYT-808 sensor with a larger 1/1.4-inch sensor size for enhanced detail and improved low-light performance.
Additionally, the Pro model introduces a secondary periscope camera with a 50Mp sensor and 6x optical zoom for capturing high-quality images from greater distances.
Both models also feature a 32Mp selfie camera.
Luke Baker
Oppo’s HyperTone image engine combines nine RAW frames for each photo, which should enhance clarity and dynamic range while reducing noise. The Hasselblad Portrait Mode offers a distinct portrait style, while LivePhoto captures brief video segments before and after each shot, adding contextual depth to still images.
Exclusive to the Pro model, the ‘Quick Button’ (rather similar to the iPhone 16 Camera Control) provides convenient camera access and functions as a dedicated shutter and zoom control.
Battery & Charging
While the Find X8 is equipped with a 5630mAh battery, the Find X8 Pro features a larger 5910mAh cell, making it ideal for users who need extended battery life.
Both models support 80W SuperVOOC or 55W USB PD wired charging and 50W AirVOOC wireless charging.
Luke Baker
There’s also magnetic wireless charging, but it’s only via compatible cases.
Software
The Oppo Find X8 series runs on the newly released ColorOS 15, based on Android 15. Oppo promises to provide software and security patches from this year until 2030.
ColorOS 15 focuses on improving user experience through smart, adaptive features such as optimised battery management, personalised app suggestions, and advanced privacy settings.
Luke Baker
Oppo has also integrated AI capabilities that adjust settings based on user patterns, plus a new system theme is designed to be both visually pleasing and functional.
Enhanced privacy tools allow users to better manage app permissions and sensitive data, while AI-driven optimisation ensures that the phone runs smoothly throughout its lifecycle.
