Oppo Find X8 Pro Takes the Lead

Recent polling results indicate that the Oppo Find X8 series possesses considerable potential to compete against other high-end smartphones in the market. The excitement is particularly palpable for the Oppo Find X8 Pro—an impressive device that has garnered significant interest, with half of the voters expressing a keen desire to own one. However, the price tag attached to this flagship model may deter some potential buyers.

Availability Issues

One of the pressing issues facing not only the Find X8 Pro but also the standard Find X8 is availability. Currently, neither model is accessible in Europe, and they are similarly absent in India. Fans have noted that regional Oppo sites predominantly feature the Reno series instead. Although the company has plans to expand the Find X8 series internationally, it seems consumers may have to wait a bit longer before experiencing these flagship devices firsthand.

Camera Technology Concerns

In addition to the Pro model, there's speculation about the upcoming Oppo Find X8 Ultra, which is expected to come equipped with enhanced camera sensors. The camera technology in the X8 Pro has been called into question, especially given that it uses a 1/1.4" LYT-808 sensor, while the preceding Find X6 Pro boasted a larger 1" sensor. This decision has left many fans disappointed and curious about the potential advancements in the Ultra version.

Standard Find X8 Features

Conversely, the standard Oppo Find X8 offers a smaller 1/1.56" LYT-700 sensor in its main camera. Although there seems to be promise with this model as well, the overwhelming preference for the Pro variant was made clear by the voting split in the recent poll.

5G Connectivity Concerns

Another concern revolves around 5G connectivity. The standard Find X8 notably lacks support for 5G band 20, which is essential in various regions. This omission stands out, especially since both the Find X6 and X7, along with the Find X8 Pro, include this critical feature.

Final Thoughts

As the Oppo Find X8 series gears up to enter the competitive smartphone market, the public’s anticipation remains high. However, the hurdles of availability and connectivity will need to be addressed if Oppo aims to establish the X8 series as a mainstay among flagship devices. The question on everyone’s lips: will Oppo rise to the challenge? Stay tuned!
