Powerful Camera Meets Powerful AI with the OPPO Find X8

We’ve been rocking the OPPO Find X8 as our daily driver for about 2 months now after its launch last November 21, 2024. Coming into the New Year, and we’re still huge fans of the impressive photography capabilities from the flagship device. As highlighted in our in-depth review of the OPPO Find X8, we were surprised with how well-polished and mature the AI features fitted into the device — especially in photography.

While most smartphones have one or two cool AI photography features, they sometimes come off as too gimmicky or something that you wouldn’t normally use on the regular. With the OPPO Find X8, the brand understood the pain-points of photography enthusiasts and content creators. With the OPPO Find X8, the device utilizes both strong hardware, software, and cloud computing to give you the best images you could possibly want.

To refresh, the OPPO Find X8 has three 50MP Hasselblad Camera system, specifically it houses a 50MP Sony LYT700 main + 50MP ultrawide + 50MP Sony LYT600 Periscope telephoto for its rear camera module. For the front, it houses a large enough 32MP selfie camera. To complement this, the device is equipped with the Hasselblad Master Camera system and the HyperTone Image Engine — which ensures every shot is vibrant and true to life.

AI Tools to Elevate Every Frame

The powerful camera system that the OPPO Find X8 just tells one half of the story, the other is done through the magic of Artificial Intelligence. With a host of AI tools ready at your disposal, taking a bad shot (unless deliberate) is almost impossible at this point. Even previously taken photos can benefit from the OPPO Find X8’s AI Photo Remaster — a suite of AI Photo-enhancing tools designed to automatically improve sharpness, color, contrast, and clarity.

AI Clarity Enhancer

For those who demand perfection in every shot, the AI Clarity Enhancer ensures your photos are nothing short of spectacular. Whether it’s a cityscape during golden hour or a group photo under dim party lights, this feature optimizes every detail. Expect sharper edges, vibrant colors, and balanced lighting, no matter the scenario. Noted photographer and long-time OPPO ambassador Magic Liwanag shares that the photo above enhanced by AI Clarity Enhancer enables crisp sharpness on subject color, texture, and other pertinent details.

AI Reflection Remover

One of the best AI tools out of the box is the OPPO Find X8’s ability to remove unwanted reflections that may ruin an otherwise awesome photo. We get it, shooting through glass is tricky but with this ability, finding the right angle to obscure reflection just became easier. Say goodbye to those pesky window glares and hello to clearer views

AI Telescopic Zoom

Like a scene right out of a 2000’s sci-fi show, magically enhance and optimize zoomed-in images thanks, in part, to the power of AI. Get up close and personal with distant subjects whether you’re in a concert or trying to capture rich architectural details from afar, at 120x max zoom and AI Telescopic Zoom, photos are guaranteed more clear and crisp than ever.

Lightning Snaps & Others

Lastly, capture split-second action without missing a beat with the OPPO Find X8’s Lightning Snaps (aka burst-shot mode). Easily taking 7 images per second, you can choose the perfect moment to give out that extra drama and flair. There are more photo-enhancing tools to tinker around like Stage Mode utilizing the AI Telescope Zoom which takes stunning shots of concerts and events, even from a distance, and Livephoto for bringing stills to life, perfect for reliving the energy of a bustling city street or a vibrant party. Then there’s the ever nifty, AI Eraser as well — something that’s becoming a staple in smartphones everywhere.

The OPPO Find X8 is one of the best releases from 2024 and it’s partly due to the great combination of stellar hardware pieces, a sturdy software backbone, and a very mature set of AI Features that we haven’t seen from the other smartphone brands. With OPPO heavily investing in AI (especially as how they physically created 3 large centers in Shenzhen just to house AI computing servers), it’s no wonder how prepared the brand is in seamlessly (and intuitively) integrating their AI prowess in their everyday devices. Finally, almost all the AI features from the OPPO Find X8 feels less of a gimmick and more of a new standard in device offerings.

The OPPO Find X8 is available nationwide for PHP 54,999 and comes in two colorways – Space Black and Star Grey. Visit any authorized OPPO stores or OPPO’s official e-commerce platforms in Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop to get your hands on this powerhouse device.
