And I couldn’t be happier that this is the case.
But changes have still been made from earlier models.
The camera bump has been flattened out to make it less likely to catch on your pockets.
Oppo also promises a peak brightness of an impressive 4,500 nits maximum.
Oppo has also borrowed the alert slider from OnePlus phones to use on the Find X8 series.
This standard/vibrate/silent toggle is very useful to have alongside the regular Android Quick controls version.
What we do know however is that this phone features both IP68 and IP69 dust/water protection.
IP69 meanwhile means the equipment can shrug off high-pressure water jets, heated to 176 degrees Fahrenheit.
The last thing to mention here are the color choices for the Oppo Find X8 Pro.
In theory, that should make for more consistent photos across the zoom range.
There’s an AI Telescope Zoom feature on top of that, but we’ll explore this more later.
It’s visible all over these photos of this vintage car/ice cream truck.
At 5x/6x, there’s less of a difference.
So I zoomed right into the GWR logo to test it.
We’ll finish up with a portrait selfie comparison, again between the Oppo and the Samsung.
One other point in favor of the Find X8 Pro’s photography is its minimal shutter lag.
It lags behind the iPhone when it comes to transcoding a video with Adobe Premiere Rush, though.
These tools all work to varying levels of effectiveness, due to the inconsistent nature of generative AI.
