The Oppo Find X8 series, freshly launched in China and set to make its global debut later this month, has started to generate buzz in the photography world, especially around its cutting-edge Hasselblad camera setup. While a comprehensive review of the X8 and X8 Pro models is underway, here’s an exclusive first look at the impressive photography capabilities of the vanilla Oppo Find X8. Boasting three 50MP modules, this flagship device promises to redefine mobile photography standards.
Capturing the World with Hasselblad Precision
The primary camera on the Find X8 features a 24mm lens with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS, offering stunning detail and vibrant colors. And for those looking for more, the sensor supports a native 2x zoom, delivering crisp shots without losing quality.
Main Camera Samples
The main camera’s shots reveal a stunning dynamic range, capturing fine textures and depth across various scenes. With an impressive 50MP sensor, the Find X8 brings out details beautifully, even in complex lighting.
2x Zoom Samples
When zoomed in at 2x, the camera continues to perform remarkably well, capturing sharp details with almost no drop in clarity. This feature is particularly useful for bringing subjects closer without sacrificing quality.
Pushing Boundaries with the Telephoto Lens
The telephoto module, with its 73mm 1G3P lens (f/2.6 aperture) and optical image stabilization, introduces something truly unique. The dual-prism design bends incoming light at a 180° angle, an innovative approach that enhances the 3x optical zoom and offers even greater versatility. From the standard 3x zoom, which is ideal for portraits and close-ups, to a 6x zoom for capturing finer details, this camera keeps delivering, even as you push its limits.
3x Telephoto Samples
At 3x optical zoom, the telephoto lens captures subjects with remarkable clarity, providing excellent edge sharpness and balanced exposure.
6x Telephoto Samples
Moving further into 6x zoom, the Find X8 delivers surprisingly detailed shots, maintaining high quality without the need for digital cropping.
Ultra-Wide View with a 120° Field of Vision
The ultra-wide camera, fitted with a 15mm lens and autofocus, captures a vast 120° field of view. Ideal for landscapes, cityscapes, or group shots, this lens performs exceptionally well, managing to avoid distortion while retaining sharpness across the entire frame.
Ultra-Wide Samples
The ultra-wide shots present a panoramic feel, with edge-to-edge clarity and an immersive sense of space.
Innovation Beyond the Lens
And while we haven’t fully tested all features, the Find X8 promises even more. Oppo’s AI super-resolution algorithm can stretch the zoom capabilities up to an astounding 120x, while additional AI features intelligently remove reflections, bringing a new level of clarity to photos shot through glass. For portrait lovers, the Hasselblad-engineered portrait mode combines true-to-life skin tones with professional-grade background blur.
Stay tuned as we explore the full spectrum of the Oppo Find X8’s capabilities beyond its exceptional camera system. This flagship device could very well set new benchmarks for smartphone photography.
