Today, OPPO launched its Find X8 series for the global market. The company plans to bring the flagship smartphone series to the Kenyan market.
The OPPO Find X8 series are camera smartphones. The base model features three 50MP cameras at the back housed in the Cosmos Rimg design camera island, including a 24mm main camera lens with OIS that can do 2x optical zoom. There’s a 73mm periscope telephoto camera with OIS featuring dual prism technology that offers 3x optical zoom with 6X digital zoom. A 15mm lens is fitted in the ultrawide camera and offers a 120-degree field of view. You also get AI super-resolution at 120x zoom. Video recording is capped at 4K 60fps.
The selfie camera is a 32MP front-facing camera. The phone ships with OPPO’s HyperTone image engine to increase clarity and dynamic range. You also get Hasselblad Portrait Mode and LivePhoto option. Video recording is capped at 4K 60fps just like the main cameras.
The base OPPO Find X8 has a flat 6.59-inch LTPO OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution(1256 x 2760 pixels). The screen sports upto 4500 nits peak brightness. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The back is also glass and the phone has an aluminium frame. It also sports IP68/69 rating. Other features include stereo speakers and optical under-display fingerprint reader.
OPPO Find X8 comes with Dimensity 9400 processor under the chassis – the first phones to launch with this chipset that features a new cooling system with a graphite layer, vapor chamber, and thermal conductive gel integrated into the motherboard. The phone features the newly launched ColorOS 15, which includes various AI capabilities and a refreshed interface. It also runs Android 15. RAM options begin at 12GB going all the way to 16GB while storage starts at 256 GB to 1TB.
OPPO Find has a silicon-carbon 5630mAH battery that supports 80W wired, 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.
Color options include Star Grey, Space Black and Shell Pink.
OPPO Kenya said they’ll be bringing the base Find X8 to the Kenyan market, probably sometime early next year. We last had the company’s flagship devices in early 2022 when the Find X5 was available nationwide.
“Until now, flagship camera phones with ultra-zoom, power, battery life and AI tools have been weighed down by thick, heavy designs, but Find X8 Series changes the game. Find X8 is a thin and light powerhouse with ultra-beating battery life and a periscope zoom. Find X8 Pro takes zoom further, delivering ultra-grade experiences without the bulk. And with ColorOS 15’s smart and smooth experience, Find X8 Series is set to mark an exciting shift for the smartphone industry,” said Pete Lau, SVP and Chief Product Officer at OPPO.
“After the overwhelming reception of the Find X5 in Kenya, we are excited to once again have the Find X8 in the Kenyan market once again. We look forward to offering our customers yet another flagship experience tailored to meet their evolving needs. Kenya is a key market for OPPO, and the Find X8 introduction underscores our dedication to delivering world-class technology to our consumers here” said Fredrique Achieng, PR Manager OPPO Kenya.
