The latest addition to the smartphone market is the Find X8 Ultra from Oppo. This device is part of a growing trend where Chinese companies are trying to outdo each other with the best camera phones. Oppo has taken a different approach by focusing on making a thinner phone without sacrificing camera quality.

The Find X8 Ultra is not small, but it is thinner than its competitors. It has a 6. 82-inch display and weighs 7. 97 oz. This makes it easier to hold and use compared to other large phones. Oppo wants to create a "relatively normal" phone that still has a great camera. This is a response to the trend of very large phones with big batteries and multiple lenses.

The camera on the Find X8 Ultra is impressive. It has four 50-megapixel rear lenses, including 3x and 6x periscopes with faster apertures. This setup is designed to compete with other top camera phones. The phone also has a haptic shutter button and a customizable shortcut button, adding to its user-friendly design.

Despite being thin, the Find X8 Ultra packs a large 6, 100mAh battery, the biggest among its rivals. It supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, ensuring it stays powered up quickly. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and comes with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It also has IP68 and IP69 ratings, making it resistant to dust and water.

Oppo also launched the Find X8s and X8s Plus. The X8s is smaller with a 6. 3-inch display, while the X8s Plus is larger with a 6. 59-inch display and a 6, 000mAh battery. However, these phones will only be available in China, missing out on the global market.

Oppo's strategy with the Find X8 Ultra is clear: offer a high-quality camera phone that is thinner and more comfortable to use. This approach could appeal to users who want a powerful phone without the bulk. However, the decision to keep these phones in China might limit their impact on the global market.
