I recently had the opportunity to get hands-on with the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, and my experience left me feeling a mix of excitement and disappointment. The unveiling of this flagship phone was met with great anticipation, only to be quickly followed by the disheartening news of its exclusive launch in the Chinese market. This decision was a letdown, especially considering the absence of Oppo’s Find N5 foldable phone in the UK despite a prior London event.
Despite these setbacks, the Find X8 Ultra boasts impressive camera technology housed in a sleek and lightweight design. Oppo managed to avoid the common issue of a bulky camera bump, making it a comfortable fit in pockets. The device’s slender profile, combined with its advanced camera capabilities, positions it as a formidable competitor to other premium smartphones like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The camera setup on the Find X8 Ultra is nothing short of impressive, featuring a ‘Next-gen Hasselblad master camera’ system with multiple high-resolution lenses for versatile photography options. Software enhancements further elevate the photography experience, promising quick and high-quality shots with features like a pressure-sensitive Quick Button for fast captures.
While my time with the Oppo Find X8 Ultra was brief, the potential it holds for global integration in future Oppo products offers a glimmer of hope. The innovative technologies showcased in this device may find their way into upcoming Oppo releases, ensuring that the advancements seen in the Find X8 Ultra reach a broader audience.
In conclusion, while my initial encounter with the Oppo Find X8 Ultra left me yearning for more accessibility outside of China, the promise of its technology influencing future Oppo offerings keeps the excitement alive. For now, we can look forward to exploring the capabilities of the Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, even as we hope for a wider release of the impressive Find X8 Ultra.
