For the first time, both top-tier phones feature Oppo’s triple prism periscope camera with a flagship 50-megapixel, 1/1.95-inch Sony LYT600 sensor, capturing superior low-light photos and video despite its compact size. It’s also worth mentioning that Find X8 Pro is Oppo’s first globally available phone to feature two periscope cameras.The Find X8 Series benefits from Hasselblad Portrait Mode, a great pairing with the periscope cameras. Oppo’s flagships also introduce a new Lightning Snap feature, which allows users to capture a burst of photos at up to seven frames per second with a long press of the shutter button without compromising image processing.
With Lightning Snap, each frame looks like a dedicated still image, taking full advantage of Oppo’s HyperTone Image Engine. Additionally, Find X8 Pro users can access Lightning Snap by using the Quick Button, a touch-sensitive strip on its right side that can quickly launch the camera and control zoom.

Aside from their state-of-the-art camera systems, the Find X8 and Find X8 pro can record Dolby Vision HDR video at up to 4K resolution, 60fps from all cameras, including the front camera. The flagships also take advantage of Oppo’s Livephoto feature, which means each video frame can be turned into a potential photo.
Moving on to one of the most important parts of a smartphone, the display, Oppo didn’t make any compromises when it comes to quality and efficiency. The vanilla Find X8 comes with a 6.59-inch display, while the Find X8 Pro has a slightly bigger 6.78-inch Infinite View Display.
