Meanwhile, which aims to be placed as a reference of the photo. Furthermore, It is even ranked number one in the DXOMARK camera rankingenough to offer an appetizer on the capacities of. Moreover, the device.

Unlike Find X8 Pro. Furthermore, the we regret it not sold Oppo Find X8 Ultra is reserved for the Chinese market, it is not available for sale in Europe. Therefore, It is a fairly common practice for Chinese manufacturers: Xiaomi, Honor, Oppo … Therefore, All have smartphones that do not leave their local market. Meanwhile, Note that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which is one of its main competitors, is available from us.

To get the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, it will therefore be necessary to go through the import of a Chinese model, which is never recommended. Therefore, It is therefore not easy to explore the capacities of such a product, with unsuitable software, missing translations, etc.

As a result. we regret it not sold Furthermore, it was with scientific glasses that I put my iPhone on the closet for a month, for the benefit of the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, and here is my feedback.

A design worthy of its premium status – We regret it not sold

The Oppo Find X8 Ultra is worthy of its status as an ultra high -end smartphone. However, which offers a dress known in the universe of Oppo: we are facing a massive device, with flat aluminum slices, which surrounds a product covered with glass on the front and on the back. In addition, The device benefits from IP68 and IP69 certifications, water and dust.

The huge circular photo module is in the game. Similarly, a visual trademark of the manufacturer, which encompasses four photo sensors we regret it not sold that we will mention a little later. In addition, With dimensions of 163.1 x 76.8 x 8.8 mm, and a weight of 226 g, the Find X8 Ultra can be quite massive, especially if you have small hands.

Three colors are offered for the Oppo Find X8 Ultra:

• Morning Lighta slightly pinkish shade;
• Moonlight White, a sleek white;
• Starry Black, the black color of the band, that we had in hand.

Note that the glass back seems quite sensitive to scratches. Moreover, Nothing very alarming, however, for the black color where these scratches remain quite discreet.

In the box, Oppo was not stingy in elements. In addition to the plastic screen protection film which is immediately placed. the Find X8 Ultra is supplied with its dedicated power supply (in Chinese configuration). Also, more rare, there is a protective shell in the coating soft touch.

Speaking of the screen, the Find X8 Ultra is dressed in an AMOLED LTPO screen of 6.82 inch, a definition of 1440 x 3168 pixels, and a cooling rate of 120 Hz. This is compatible with Dolby Vision and HDR 10+, with a brightness peak at 2500 nits.

An interface not made for Europe

As indicated in the introduction. the Oppo Find X8 Ultra turns Android 15 with the Coloros 15 interface, but essentially suitable for the Chinese market.

The Chinese brand seems to have been inspired by a day at the foot of the apple apple tree. for certain functions of its smartphone. Among these functions. there is a software functionality which seems very close to the Dynamic Island of Apple, with its interactive system and the applications in the background. But Oppo did not stop there: the brand incorporates two additional buttons on the Find X8 Ultra slices: a configurable button on the upper left edge. and a “camera” button on the lower right slice. The whole thing is reminiscent of the iPhone 16 and 16 pro from Apple.

This Chinese version of Coloros is not very different from we regret it not sold the European version: there is a very customizable interface. We have the possibility of modifying A to Z the icons of applications. from color to shape (certain applications do not manage the modification, as for all other smartphones brands).

The differences are mainly seen on the adaptation of the software, with the preinstallation of Chinese applications (such as Weibo), unrelated parts in French such as the Wallet application of the brand, or the absence of applications that we are used to using on a daily basis.

Indeed, smartphone reserved for China requires, Google’s services (such as YouTube, Gmail, and others) are not available. The Play Store is also absent. To remedy we regret it not sold it, it will be necessary to arm themselves with persistence, and patience. Even by forcing the installation of the Play Store. some applications make resistance by refusing to update or even downright settle.

You will understand, we do not recommend this maneuver. Some Chinese smartphones cannot simply install these applications. since the integration of connection to its Google account is simply not present.

One of the photo references

The Oppo Find X8. Ultra aims to be a reference in the photo. He notably obtained first place in the DXOMARK camera ranking.

This is a cocktail of four photo sensors. included in an imposing circular block on the back of the smartphone:

• large stabilized angle of 50 Mpx (1 inch size) with an f/1.8 opening and a 23 mm focal length;
• Ultra wide angle of 50 Mpx with an we regret it not sold f/2.0 opening and a 15 mm focal length;
• Telephoto (periscope) X3 stabilized of 50 Mpx with an f/2.1 opening and a 70 mm focal length;
• Telephoto (periscope) X6 of 50 Mpx with an f/3.1 opening and a 135 mm focal length.

The device can reach a digital X120 zoom, in addition to the X3 and X6 telephoto lenses.

Here are some shots (automatic mode, without touching the shooting settings) that I was able to take with the Oppo Find X8 Ultra.

Performances worthy of his entrails

The Oppo Find X8 Ultra is propelled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite of Qualcomm. engraved in 3 Nm, we regret it not sold which is supported by an Adreno 830 GPU. It is among what is best on Android smartphones.

Find X8 Ultra has never flare up on the tasks I entrusted to him. Whether on Genshin Impact. Minecraft with mode Vibrant Visuals Thoroughly, or other heavy tasks, the device had no problem of stability in use.

A heated heated. but mastered

With such a powerful processor, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is no exception, even if it remains controlled, thanks to the boarding of a steam chamber system. This heating manifests itself mainly during heavy game sessions, or photos and videos.

As a reminder, we are in a fairly unstable Parisian summer context we regret it not sold (which I also call the open-air hair dryer). It is not impossible that the Find X8 Ultra can behave better in more favorable climatic conditions.

More than sufficient autonomy

On paper. the Oppo Find X8 Ultra offers more than impressive services, thanks to a battery of 6100 mAh, with a carbon silicon design, which offers better energy density without taking up more space than a conventional battery.

The Find X8 Ultra therefore holds the day in intensive use, and it can even offer as a bonus a second day depending on the use.

In the event that the smartphone breaks down dry, the Find X8 Ultra can collect an ultra fast wired charging of 100 W thanks to the Supervooc block which is provided in the box, enough to reach 0-95 % in less than 30 minutes.

The wireless load does not have to be ashamed, with Maison Airvooc 50 W technology (and can deliver 10W inverted).

Why we do not recommend it to purchase in France

The Oppo Find. X8 Ultra seems to be a very good smartphone that could meet many expectations. His biggest defect: It is not sold in France. It is marketed only in China, from 6499 yuan in 12 GB configuration of RAM we regret it not sold and 256 GB of storage.

Although the import solution has the merit of existing, we cannot obviously recommend this method. The Find X8 Ultra is not suitable for our market. specifically its firmware, making the installation of popular applications in the West fairly chaotic. And to top it all, parts of the software are simply not translated.

The Oppo Find X8 Pro remains available in France, pending the next generation. He certainly does not offer all the package technological of his big brother. but remains an interesting proposal, with a very close user experience.
