The camera of this Chinese phone puts expensive flagships of the world to shame

An attractive Chinese phone with its stunning camera performance is able to beat the most demanding flagships of the world. Today we will further examine the camera performance of this phone.

Ever since Samsung’s Galaxy S Ultra series flagships have introduced their stunning magnifications to the world, few phones in the world have had the ability to expand in this area. However, a new Chinese phone has recently been found, which has upset the Galaxy S24 Ultra and other flagships of the world with its exceptional camera performance. We are talking about the Oppo Find X8 series, which have been able to offer thirty times magnification to their users.

In particular, the Pro model of this phone has recorded an amazing record that no flagship in the world has ever managed to achieve. In the following, we will introduce more of the cameras of these two Chinese flagships.

What makes the Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro cameras stand out from the rest?

Perhaps the most interesting thing that separates the camera of the Oppo Find X8 series from the rest of the market is the use of the same 50-megapixel sensor for all three cameras (four cameras in the Pro model). Of course, the aperture and sensor size of these cameras are different from each other; But the megapixels of the cameras are the same, so that there is no noticeable difference in the quality of the photos by changing the lens. This similarity will also result in excellent detail recording in zoom mode. We will discuss this further.

Both phones use a 50-megapixel main sensor f/1.8 on the standard model and f/1.6 on the Pro model. In addition to this main camera, both standard and pro models also use a 50-megapixel f/2.0 ultra-wide lens with a 15mm focal length and a 120-degree field of view, and a 50-megapixel periscope lens with a 73mm focal length, optical zoom of three They have an aperture of f/2.6.

Meanwhile, the X8 Pro model uses a fourth camera, which is 50 megapixels and has a focal length of 135 mm. This camera is also equipped with optical image stabilization and offers six times optical zoom. This camera should generally provide better performance than the Pro model in zooming in on distant subjects. However, surprisingly, the Find X8 performs better in this department.

The camera performance of the Oppo Find X8 series is stunning at 30x and 60x magnifications

In recent years, most of the Android phone manufacturers are trying to convince us that hybrid zoom offers the same quality as optical zoom. However, this issue has not been true so far; But this time, Oppo Find X8 offers performance equal to and even better than the Pro model without having a dedicated zoom camera!

The images below provide an example of the performance of both phones at different levels of 30X and 60X. Of course, the source providing these images did not provide sample photos of the Pro model at 30X magnification; But from the available images, you can clearly see the stunning performance of both phones in photographing subjects at a distance. Not seeing any loss of quality in the images recorded by the standard version is particularly important and shows the skill of the Chinese in making cameras for their flagships.

What will the camera of this Chinese phone do against the flagships of Android?

With Oppo’s return to the European and world markets, we can consider Oppo Find X8 as a worthy competitor to the world’s major Android flagships. To measure the performance of Oppo Find X8 side by side against the competitors, in the table below, the specifications of the new flagship camera of the Chinese with some of the most important current flagships in the world such as iPhone 16 Pro, Google Pixel 9 Pro, Oppo Find X7 Ultra and of course the king of zoom in the world of mobile phones We will compare Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Among these flagship phones, Pixel 9 Pro and iPhone 16 offer a very good performance in zoom images; However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra should be considered the undisputed king of zooming in mobile phone cameras. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is actually the only flagship in this list that offers a magnification of more than 30 times to the user. This is while the Google Pixel 9 Pro can zoom up to 30 times and the iPhone 16 Pro can zoom up to 25 times.

On the other side of the competition, we have the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, which is a great phone with an exceptional camera and was officially launched last year. This phone also has four 50 megapixel cameras and except for the one-inch size of the main sensor, it is almost similar to Oppo Find X8 Pro in other specifications. This phone, of course, offers a strange 2.8x zoom; But it uses the same 50 megapixel telephoto secondary sensor and offers six times optical zoom like the Find X8 Pro.

As you can see from the images below, the Find X8’s zoom camera performance looks very similar to the Find X7 Ultra. Of course, it should be kept in mind that Oppo Find X8 is much cheaper than X7 Ultra; However, the larger sensor size of the X8 Pro model seems to be the main reason for this problem, and it will probably show its effect more in the images of the main camera. At the same time, the zoom images of these two phones (3X) appear very close to each other, as seen in the images below, and it can be expected that if the Find X8 Pro version is present in the fight, the scales will tilt towards the Pro version.

Oppo’s remarkable progress in the camera of its mobile phones, that too for the standard version and in just one year, is a very important point that following the publication of the news of the re-appearance of this well-known Chinese brand in the global markets, it can show its determination to seriously compete with the world’s major flagships. . But will the camera of this Chinese phone be able to overcome well-known Android flagships in practice?

The image below shows the performance of the Oppo Find X8 zoom camera against two of the current phones in the world with the best cameras, the Pixel 9 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro. As mentioned, this year’s Apple and Google flagships both have versatile and capable cameras; However, their magnification is limited to 25X and 30X, respectively.

Of course, the result of the battle of these three phones is completely clear! Neither the Pixel 9 Pro nor the iPhone 16 Pro was able to record much detail, and the Oppo Find X8 records a much higher level of detail at 30x magnification.

Of course, it should be noted that the main competitor of Oppo Find X8 in this test is the Galaxy S24 Ultra; Because both iPhone 16 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro do not have a separate telephoto secondary camera. The Korean flagship is able to offer an exceptional zoom of 100 times, and its 3X and 5X telephoto lenses have provided stunning performance in capturing images of distant subjects.

You may be surprised; But based on the images above, Oppo Find X8 records better details than the S24 Ultra at 30x magnification and performs better. However, the S24 Ultra is expected to perform better at higher zoom values; However, the quality provided by the Find X8 Ultra camera is admirable.

Apart from this exceptional zoom camera, Oppo Find X8 is also the first phone in the world equipped with MediaTek’s Dimension 9400 chip. So we have to wait and see what fate awaits this attractive Chinese flagship series.
