OPPO has announced exciting new camera features for its upcoming Find X8 series smartphones, generating significant buzz ahead of its India launch. Initially unveiled in China, the Find X8 series is expected to arrive in more global markets soon, with OPPO positioning it as a high-end device aimed at photography enthusiasts and tech aficionados alike.
The Find X8 series stands out for its pioneering dual periscope camera system, featuring a Triple Prism Fold Reflection System—a unique configuration OPPO claims will revolutionize smartphone photography. By integrating cutting-edge technology and collaborating with renowned optics brand Hasselblad, OPPO’s Find X8 series aims to set a new standard in mobile photography.
Advanced Camera System with Dual Periscope Lenses
The quad-camera setup in the Find X8 series includes two telephoto cameras, a rarity in smartphones. The first is a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor offering 3x optical zoom, while the second telephoto lens is a 50MP Sony IMX858 sensor with a 6x periscope zoom. Both cameras are equipped with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), ensuring high-quality, stable images even at extended zoom levels. In a major leap for smartphone photography, the Find X8 series also introduces AI-powered Telescope Zoom, enabling up to 120x zoom through software enhancements.
This AI Telescope Zoom allows users to capture details of distant objects with remarkable clarity, a feature that OPPO suggests could appeal to nature photographers and those looking to push the boundaries of mobile photography. The software-driven zoom, combined with optical stabilization, enhances clarity and reduces noise for shots taken from extreme distances.
Co-Developed with Hasselblad for Premium Modes
OPPO’s collaboration with Swedish camera manufacturer Hasselblad brings advanced modes fine-tuned by the optics company. The Find X8 series includes a dedicated Hasselblad Portrait mode, offering professional-level depth and color accuracy for portraits, and a Master Mode, which gives users detailed control over camera settings such as ISO, shutter speed, and white balance. The series also features “Lightning Snap,” a rapid-capture mode that can take 100 photos in just 30 seconds, ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects.
To further enhance the photography experience, OPPO has introduced a dedicated camera Quick Button on the Find X8 series. With a simple tap, users can quickly open the camera app and take a photo or video, while a long press enables continuous shooting. Additionally, swiping on this button in landscape mode allows users to zoom in and out seamlessly, providing more intuitive control over the camera’s powerful features.
Generative AI and Dolby Vision HDR Video
The Find X8 series also incorporates several generative AI features designed to elevate the photography and videography experience. The HyperTone Image Engine, powered by generative AI, optimizes color and contrast in real-time, creating lifelike images that capture even the most subtle details.
For videographers, the series offers Dolby Vision HDR recording capabilities, delivering high-dynamic-range (HDR) video quality with vibrant colors and sharp contrast. The four-microphone setup provides spatial audio, adding immersive sound to the high-definition video recordings. This combination of advanced video capabilities and spatial audio is expected to be a game-changer for users seeking a cinematic video experience.
OPPO Find X8 Pro: Expected Specifications
The OPPO Find X8 Pro is expected to come with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2780×1264 pixels and a peak brightness of 4500 nits, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth, vivid visuals.
