Oppo’s premium lineup, the Find X series, is known for pushing boundaries. The latest Oppo Find X8 Ultra has already launched in China and is expected to hit the Indian market by June 2025. Just like Xiaomi’s number series think Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra this phone aims to combine the best of the best to deliver a true flagship experience at a premium price. But does it really live up to the “Ultra” name? Let’s find out what Oppo packed into the Find X8 Ultra.
Design and Build: Inspired But Not Iconic
The Oppo Find X8 Ultra features a metal frame and a glass back, adopting a large circular camera module design very similar to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. It houses 5 lenses, but the overall look feels a bit too simple. For a phone with “Ultra” in its name, the design doesn’t scream luxury. However, it’s practical, with IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance. Oppo also added a quick button (similar to iPhone’s action button) in place of the traditional alert slider, giving you customization on the go.
Display: True Ultra-Level Specs
The display is where the Oppo Find X8 Ultra shines. It comes with a 6.82-inch QHD+ AMOLED flat panel, featuring 120Hz refresh rate, punch-hole camera, and super thin bezels. With a peak brightness of 2500 nits and 1600 nits HBM, visibility in sunlight is top-notch. It supports HDR+ on both YouTube and Netflix, offering a true flagship media experience. Screen protection is via Corning Gorilla Glass (likely Victus 2), although Oppo hasn’t confirmed the exact version yet. If you prefer quad-curved screens, it might feel flat—but honestly, the display quality is unbeatable.
Performance: Beast Mode On
Under the hood, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. This combo delivers buttery-smooth performance in games like BGMI even after 2 hours of gameplay at high settings with no lag or heating issues. It’s the kind of phone you can push to the limit and it still handles everything with ease.
Software Experience: A Big Letdown
Here’s where things start to fall apart. The software on the Oppo Find X8 Ultra doesn’t feel “ultra” at all. It ships with Android 15 and ColorOS, but it’s loaded with bloatware unwanted apps, third-party junk, and even pre-installed games. This affects the overall premium feel. The only silver lining is the promise of 5 years of major Android updates and security patches. Still, for an ultra flagship, the software experience is disappointing.
Camera: The Hero Feature
The Oppo Find X8 Ultra comes with a quad 50MP rear camera setup, which stands out in the premium segment. It’s not just about megapixels each lens is finely tuned for a specific purpose, and Oppo collaborated with Hasselblad to offer enhanced color calibration and dynamic range. Here’s a breakdown of each lens:
- 50MP Wide-Angle (ƒ/1.8, 1-inch sensor): This is the primary sensor with a 23mm focal length, offering dual pixel PDAF and OIS. Thanks to the 1-inch sensor size and 1.6µm pixels, it captures excellent details, depth, and natural bokeh in almost every lighting condition.
- 50MP Telephoto (ƒ/2.1, 70mm): A periscope-style telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom with multi-directional PDAF and OIS. Great for portrait shots and mid-range zoom without quality loss.
- 50MP Telephoto (ƒ/3.1, 135mm): Another periscope lens with 6x optical zoom, dual pixel PDAF, and OIS, ideal for long-range photography. The 1/1.95″ sensor and 0.8µm pixel size provide solid clarity even at a distance.
- 50MP Ultra-Wide (ƒ/2, 120° field of view): A 15mm ultrawide lens with PDAF, perfect for landscapes or wide group shots. It captures a lot of the scene without heavy distortion.
It also includes Laser Autofocus, a Color Spectrum Sensor, Hasselblad color science, and modes like HDR, Panorama, and 4K video recording. On the front, there’s a 32MP punch-hole camera that supports 4K and 1080p recording, ideal for selfies and content creation.

Battery and Charging: Big and Fast
Powering the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is a massive 6100mAh battery a standout in the flagship space. It supports 100W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. Battery life is excellent, and charging is blazing fast. You’ll rarely worry about running out of juice.
Final Conclusion:
While the Oppo Find X8 Ultra packs best-in-class display, camera, performance, and battery, the software experience and design hold it back from truly feeling like an “Ultra” phone. If you’re someone who values raw power and camera excellence, this might still be a great pick. But if you’re expecting a complete ultra-premium experience, including software and aesthetics, you might want to wait for refinements or look elsewhere.
The best part? The haptics and core performance truly represent the best of the best just wish the rest of the phone followed that same standard.
