OPPO Find X8 Pro: The Imaging Flagship, Capturing Life's Memorable Moments

On October 24, 2024, OPPO officially launched its annual imaging flagship the OPPO Find X8 Pro. This phone not only boasts powerful hardware configuration but also features industry-leading imaging capabilities such as Hasselblad Professional Portrait, Shadowless Capture, and AI Telephoto, aiming to provide users with an unprecedented shooting experience. In the era of universal imaging, the arrival of the OPPO Find X8 Pro undoubtedly presents a new option for photography enthusiasts. Let's delve deeper into the imaging charm of this flagship phone.

Dual Periscope Telephoto Lenses, Unparalleled Imaging Built on Hardware Strength

Unlike other flagship smartphones equipped with only one periscope telephoto lens, the OPPO Find X8 Pro innovatively features two periscope telephoto lenses: a 3x periscope telephoto lens with a LYT-600 sensor and a 6x periscope telephoto lens with an IMX858 sensor. This dual periscope telephoto configuration empowers the Find X8 Pro with full-focal length portrait shooting capabilities, allowing users to capture intricate details and distant landscapes with greater flexibility.

Beyond the two periscope telephoto lenses, the Find X8 Pro is equipped with a powerful main camera featuring a LYT-808 sensor, 50MP resolution, 1/1.4-inch sensor size, f/1.6 aperture, and an ultra-wide-angle lens with a JN5 sensor, 50MP resolution, 1/2.75-inch sensor size, f/2.0 aperture. This robust hardware configuration provides a solid imaging foundation for the Find X8 Pro, ensuring high-quality photos and videos.

Furthermore, the Find X8 Pro incorporates a dedicated capture quick-start button on the side of the phone. Users can swiftly activate the camera by double-clicking the button, trigger the shutter with a single click, and activate continuous shooting by long-pressing. Swiping left or right allows for zooming, significantly enhancing shooting efficiency and convenience. Additionally, the Find X8 Pro inherits the excellent genes of its predecessors, continuing to support the professional Hasselblad Portrait feature, delivering professional portrait shooting experiences comparable to DSLR cameras.

Shadowless Capture, Grasping the Essence of Moments

While traditional smartphones also support capture functions, they often require entering specific settings to activate them. However, the Find X8 Pro's Shadowless Capture function breaks this tradition. No settings are needed; simply pressing the capture button initiates the capture mode.

To verify the Find X8 Pro's capture capabilities, we ventured to a Taekwondo training facility to capture dynamic scenes of trainees practicing martial arts. Even with their rapid movements, the Find X8 Pro could accurately capture clear moments. Moreover, by long-pressing the shutter for continuous Shadowless Capture, the Find X8 Pro could capture a series of continuous, clear images, allowing users to quickly swipe through the images, forming a flowing animation, a truly breathtaking experience. This fully demonstrates the high sensitivity and rapid response capabilities of the Find X8 Pro's camera.

Telephoto Portraits, Crisp Details Enhancing Beauty

Apart from capture capabilities, we also utilized the Find X8 Pro's telephoto lens to capture a set of 3x zoom portrait samples. After magnification, the highlights on the subject's face do not overexpose, and the details in the shadows are perfectly preserved. The background blur effect is also exceptional. Regardless of the shooting angle, the subject remains sharp, while the background gradually blurs based on actual distance, mirroring the capabilities of professional cameras.

Next, we used the Find X8 Pro's 6x 135mm telephoto portrait lens to capture images at a distance of 5-10 meters from the model. As evident from the samples, the Find X8 Pro effectively overcomes the "unflattering" issue often encountered when using smartphones to capture portraits. The subject's skin tone appears accurate and more pleasing; skin texture is smoother and more delicate, significantly reducing the "roughness" caused by sharpening.

It's worth noting that these samples were captured in portrait mode. Due to the greater distance, the Find X8 Pro needed to ensure both subject clarity and background blur. Even so, relying on the Portrait Telephoto Periscope lens, the Find X8 Pro maintained impeccable image quality without noticeable degradation, while achieving hair-level precision in the cutout effect, fully showcasing its powerful imaging prowess.

Hasselblad Professional Styles, Imbuing Images with Unique Charm

Many users prefer to employ different photography styles when capturing landscapes using smartphones, aiming for a more sophisticated aesthetic. To meet these needs, the OPPO Find X8 Pro offers multiple professional photography styles, enriching user photography creativity.

Portrait Styles: When capturing portraits, the Find X8 Pro allows users to add soft, graceful, and dreamy styles, imbuing the images with a distinctive vitality. Leveraging advanced image processing algorithms, the Find X8 Pro's portrait images achieve soft lighting effects, as if gently veiled in a fine gauze, creating a hazy and dreamy beauty. This unique light and shadow effect enhances the subject's contours, making skin tones appear more natural, with every detail exuding sophistication.

Compared to traditional stylized parameters that reduce image quality and alter the image tone, the Find X8 Pro's portrait styles not only support native image quality, preserving resolution, ProXDR information, but also achieve layered softening, replicating the soft focus characteristics of soft light lenses across different light intensities, without disrupting the correct light and shadow relationships. This sophisticated aesthetic cannot be replicated by simply adding a few stylized parameters using third-party software.

Landscape Styles: For capturing scenery, the Find X8 Pro introduces fresh, vintage, and transparent styles. Upon comparison, we found that the Find X8 Pro's transparent style closely resembles Fujifilm's CC style, with a subtle yellow layer on the image, while the vintage style resembles Fujifilm's NC style, with a subtle copper layer on the image, overall aesthetics comparable to professional camera samples.

It's essential to note that the technical principle behind these styles on the Find X8 Pro is identical to the portrait style, yet distinct from traditional styles. These styles achieve optimal coupling with native image quality, allowing for more natural coupling between light and dark contrast and film contrast styles, building upon OPPO's native image quality, resolution, and ProXDR provided by Super HDR, achieving more expressive stylized colors.

Livephoto Styles: To cater to user demands for dynamic photography, the Find X8 Pro also incorporates personalized styles for Livephotos. Across Livephoto regular photos, Livephoto fresh style, Livephoto vintage style, and Livephoto transparent style, the photos come alive while seamlessly integrating the styles. This indicates that the Find X8 Pro, during Livephoto capture, has already applied complete stylistic data using algorithms, showcasing OPPO's profound technical prowess in Livephoto. As more software adapts to OPPO's Livephoto, users can also share visually compelling Livephotos with integrated styles on social media platforms using the Find X8 Pro.

Conclusion

In summary, the OPPO Find X8 Pro's imaging performance undoubtedly reflects its flagship-level capabilities. From hardware configuration to software functions, from static shooting to dynamic capture, the Find X8 Pro demonstrates its leading edge in the field of imaging.

• Dual Periscope Telephoto: Covers the full focal length range, providing users with greater creative space.
