After two years of silence, Oppo is back with a new device under the X series generation for the global market including Malaysia. What is interesting is that both Find X8 and Find X8 Pro models will be brought in at once. At the same time providing an opportunity for users to get the latest attractive offers. Pending the official launch, we were given an early opportunity to take a closer look at the offerings on both devices. But as usual the article will be more focused on the design aspect without further explanation about the internal specifications. This is because the specifications will only be revealed in more detail as soon as it is officially launched later.
What's in the Box?
Before we share more about the design, it feels better to first look at some important items in the purchase box. When buying these two new models you of course receive the device itself which is the most important main item in the box. Next, a silicone or plastic case to protect the device from scratches is placed in a separate small box. You also don't need to buy the charging head separately, instead Oppo includes it with a USB-A to USB-C cable in the purchase box.
Physical Design
Find X8 and Find X8 Pro have a sleek, premium and stylish design. With a frame made of high-quality metal material, both devices feel solid and premium when held. Find X8 has a more compact body through a flat design that gives a modern and minimalist touch. It is felt that it is not only capable of allowing the device to be placed in a stable standing position on a flat surface. In fact, it also provides a better grip to reduce the risk of the device easily slipping out of the hand, especially when used with one hand. With a flat construction also allows the smartphone screen to be designed to maximize the display space without having to increase the overall size.
Meanwhile, the Find X8 Pro features a curved side design that is also able to attract the attention of some users who see it. This curved design also has its own advantages that can add value to the user experience. In addition, it is able to provide a viewing experience that is almost as if there is no bezel on the side. This in turn provides more space to be enjoyed without having to sacrifice comfort of use.
With the curved corner design on both models, it helps increase comfort when holding the phone for a long time. The screen offered is also not only high resolution but also bright enough colors for a clear display in most situations. Both also come in a number of attractive color options including black, white and even pink. Each available color is also seen adding beauty to the overall design of the device with a subtle sheen. The power and audio buttons are also designed with different material textures to make it easier for users to easily identify them. These two buttons are located on the right side and can be pressed at best.
Quick Button
However, the pro model has the advantage of a unique camera button that works like a feature on the iPhone 16. It is named as Quick Button with several key functions that facilitate the use of the camera application. For example, double-click to activate the camera application faster. In addition, it can be used to adjust the zoom level easily, especially in landscape mode. Finally allows photos and videos to be taken by just pressing this button once. With these physical buttons, the experience of taking pictures and videos feels more practical without having to open the main screen to find the camera application.
Another interesting thing about the Find X8 series is the slider button on the left side which indirectly provides additional functions to the device. It allows users to easily switch between silent, vibration and sound modes. Again making it more practical than accessing through the main settings column. The USB-C port and speaker can be found at the bottom of the device. In addition, Oppo also includes an infrared function and an in-screen fingerprint scanning system on both devices. The absence of a 3.5mm audio jack is not surprising, it has already happened for several generations.
Not to be outdone, the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro have a prominent round camera bump on the back. It looks very similar to the Oppo Find N3 and is covered with a durable material to protect the lens from scratches and accidental damage. The Hasselblad logo prominently displayed on the camera model also shows that Oppo's collaboration with the famous brand continues in this new range. Meaning users can enjoy the various advantages of Hasselblad technology and color profiles in the process of taking pictures using the device's camera.
That's all sharing for you to understand briefly about Find X8 and Find X8 Pro so far. As said earlier, all further details including the internal hardware and the official selling price will be revealed after the official launch later. A full review will also be published later in the future.
