Summary

  • Chinese phone manufacturer Oppo is competing with Xiaomi and Vivo to create the best camera phone, but it seems to be taking a different approach.
  • While competitors Xiaomi and Vivo are prioritising large phones with large batteries and multiple camera lenses, Oppo is focusing on creating a “relatively normal phone”.
  • The Find X8 Ultra is comfortableably thinner than competitors and still includes an enormous 6,100mAh battery.
  • It has four 50-megapixel rear lenses tuned by Hasselblad, including 3x and 6x periscopes upgraded with faster apertures, a dedicated haptic shutter button, and touch controls for zooming.
  • It also includes 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage, and ships with both IP68 and IP69 ratings.
  • The X8 Ultra was launched alongside the Find X8s and X8s Plus, which feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus chip.
