OPPO Find X8s: The Return of the Compact Flagship King, Redefining the Ultimate Portable Experience

The arrival of the OPPO Find X8s marks the triumphant return of the compact flagship phone. After a long period of market dormancy, rapid technological advancements have finally allowed small-screen phones to overcome their former limitations in performance and battery life. The OPPO Find X8s, as a prime example, has once again captured users' attention. This phone not only boasts a stunning design but also achieves breakthroughs in performance, battery life, and imaging, offering users an unprecedented ultimate portable flagship experience.

I. Exquisite Compact Straight Screen: Beautiful, Portable, User-Friendly

The OPPO Find X8s features a 6.3-inch compact straight screen, continuing OPPO's classic small straight-screen design philosophy from recent generations. Compared to mainstream large-screen phones, its smaller size offers superior one-handed comfort and convenience. A slim 7.73mm thickness and a lightweight 179g make one-handed operation a pleasure, even during extended use. The ability to cradle the phone with the pinky finger further reduces strain.

One-handed operability is one of the Find X8s's greatest advantages. Its 71.82mm width is significantly narrower than larger phones, allowing the thumb to easily reach across a larger portion of the screen. Testing shows that even the leftmost desktop icons are easily accessible when holding the phone in the right hand. When typing, only a few edge letters (like "Q") require minor hand adjustments for accurate input; all other letters are easily reachable.

This excellent one-handed experience is not only due to the compact screen but also OPPO's meticulously crafted narrow bezel design. The Find X8s employs a four-sided equal-width narrow bezel design with a width of just 1.25mm, arguably the narrowest equal-width bezel available. This significantly increases the screen-to-body ratio, delivering a more impactful visual experience.

To achieve such a narrow bezel, OPPO invested heavily in the independent research and development of its second-generation chip-level screen packaging technology, constructing a new production line for this purpose. This process boasts an accuracy of 0.02-0.03mm, 30 times that of traditional production lines.

This 6.3-inch 1.5K resolution straight screen delivers astonishingly fine display details on a smaller form factor. It supports a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate for smooth, natural visuals without lag. In high-brightness scenarios, the screen displays clearly and vividly; in low-light conditions, low blue light and a 3840Hz high-frequency dimming function effectively reduce flicker and automatically adjust color temperature to protect users' eyes and reduce visual fatigue.

The screen is protected by a new generation of Corning Gorilla Glass, while the body utilizes the ultra-reliable Celestial Architecture, reinforced with internal alloy protection for comprehensive durability. The rear also features Corning Gorilla Glass, further enhancing drop resistance. Additionally, the Find X8s boasts an IP68+IP69 waterproof rating, ensuring stable operation even in extreme conditions involving submersion and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.

The Find X8s adopts OPPO's classic circular camera matrix design, but with a smaller matrix size, leaving ample space around the edges to prevent accidental lens contact during horizontal holding, improving grip. The module thickness is only 2.97mm, resulting in minimal protrusion and seamless integration with the body for a harmonious visual effect. Combined with four unique color schemes, the Find X8s exudes a fashionable and trendy aesthetic.

The side edges feature a quasi-right-angle design with rounded edges, maintaining sharp lines while preventing uncomfortable sharpness, enhancing grip comfort. The left side houses a customizable shortcut button for various functions such as switching between ring and vibrate modes, quick screenshots, flashlight control, and the new AI One-Click Memo function.

In short, the OPPO Find X8s's design is compact, portable, and easily manageable with one hand, reaching new heights in both aesthetics and usability.

II. Full-Focus Triple Camera System: Say Goodbye to Wasted Shots, Every Photo Looks Great

As a compact flagship, the OPPO Find X8s also excels in its imaging system. It features a rear-mounted full-focus triple-camera setup including ultra-wide, wide-angle, and periscope telephoto lenses covering a 15mm-23mm-85mm focal length range, effortlessly handling both close-up and long-range shots.

The main camera uses a large-sensor LYT-700, while the ultra-wide and periscope telephoto lenses utilize JN5 sensors. Although larger sensors were avoided to maintain a slim profile, image quality remains impressive.

In everyday shooting, the Find X8s demonstrates its ability to produce excellent photos with minimal effort; high-quality images are readily achievable without extensive adjustments. Exceptional results are delivered in normal light, high contrast, and low-light situations. The ultra-wide-angle lens boasts outstanding color reproduction, capturing stunning images even in backlit conditions.

In night photography, the main and ultra-wide-angle lenses exhibit exceptional clarity, producing deep sky effects while maintaining color consistency. The periscope telephoto lens offers excellent clarity at 3.5X and 7X optical zoom. Even at 10X and 30X magnification, details like building textures, glass, and railings are preserved.

Night zoom photography produces high-quality images in ordinary scenes with exceptional brightness and accuracy. In dimly lit scenes, the system automatically performs long-exposure brightening and leverages anti-shake features and algorithmic optimization to ensure a high success rate.

The Find X8s' periscope telephoto lens is perfect for pet photography. Users can capture clear close-up shots from a distance without disturbing their pets, capturing subtle expressions and movements, like the sleepy posture of a cat, including fur and whisker details.

For portrait photography, the Find X8s retains the strengths of the Find X8 series, including soft light portraits, stylized effects, and shadowless shooting, with various improvements and optimizations. The portrait mode focal length is no longer fixed; it supports 1X-3.5X stepless zoom for flexible composition, while retaining 1X/2X/3.5X fixed focal length buttons to meet different shooting needs.

Portrait blur effects have also been significantly improved, achieving accurate optical blurring in both front and side shots, with precise edge handling, avoiding mis-blurring or inaccurate cutout results. Facial skin textures are natural, light and shadow effects are accurately reproduced, creating a three-dimensional effect. Details such as shadows and wrinkles are fully expressed, resulting in clear layering. The foreground and background blur levels differ, enhancing depth of field and three-dimensionality.

Whether using the standard photo mode or portrait mode, the OPPO Find X8s captures images quickly and provides rich stylized effects. Even if images have minor flaws, they can be easily corrected using the editing features.

In addition to existing features like AI noise reduction, upscaling, and ultra-clear image quality, the Find X8s adds the AI Inspired Shot feature. This function automatically corrects image distortion, composition, and angle issues, resulting in superior photo quality. For regular photos, AI Inspired Shot enhances subject prominence; for improperly angled images, it corrects them for better harmony and aesthetics. This feature applies to various photo types.

The Find X8s also supports 2K resolution live photos; every frame can be used as a high-quality cover image. When creating GIFs from live photos, users can also select the image quality for easy sharing, making emojis, or using them as desktop wallpapers.

In summary, the OPPO Find X8s offers an extremely user-friendly photography experience, making it easy to take great photos. Even those who consider themselves "photography-challenged" can avoid "wasted shots" with the Find X8s and its powerful editing features.

III. Exceptional Performance with Dimensity 9400+, and 5700mAh Battery Life Champion

Previously, compact phones often suffered from limitations in performance and battery capacity due to size constraints, affecting overall battery life. The OPPO Find X8s overcomes these limitations by incorporating powerful hardware within its compact body.

The Find X8s is the first to feature the Dimensity 9400+ processor, featuring a higher clock speed and significantly improved performance. To address heat dissipation, OPPO equips the Find X8s with the Skywork Cooling System, upgrading the graphite material to improve heat conductivity by 15% compared to the Find X8.

In gaming tests, Genshin Impact ran at an average frame rate of 60fps for 30 minutes at the highest graphic settings.
