OPPO Find X8 series: HyperTone image engine, Dual periscope lens, AI Zoom teased ahead of India launch


OPPO is gearing up to launch its Find X8 Series globally, including India, bringing groundbreaking smartphone photography features that promise to redefine the flagship experience.

After its successful launch in China, OPPO has revealed key details about the Find X8 Series’ camera capabilities, introducing the world’s first dual periscope camera system. This innovative design includes a Triple Prism Fold Reflection System, allowing the camera to be thinner and lighter while offering powerful zoom functionality.

The Find X8 Series is equipped with a quad-camera setup and features like AI-backed Telescope Zoom, the advanced HyperTone Image Engine, Dolby Vision video recording, and 4-mic Spatial Audio. These features are tailored to provide a complete camera experience for all users—from photography enthusiasts to content creators. The camera system includes:

Dual Periscope Camera System

The Find X8 Series is the first to feature a dual periscope camera system, providing both 3x and 6x optical zoom. The 50MP LYT-600 sensor (large 1/1.95” sensor), paired with a 3x telephoto lens, ensures clear, sharp photos in all lighting conditions.

OPPO’s new design reduces weight by 30% and size by 24% compared to previous models, with a lens protrusion of just 3.09mm, giving it a sleek, modern look.

50MP Primary Camera

The primary 50MP camera uses Sony’s LYT-808 sensor, offering enhanced clarity in low-light conditions through its advanced two-layer transistor pixel structure. This technology improves dynamic range, reduces noise, and maximizes light capture, ensuring vibrant, detailed images even in challenging lighting.

2-DOL HDR and HyperTone Image Engine

The Find X8 Series takes photo quality to the next level with 2-DOL HDR. This feature simultaneously captures two sets of exposure data for sharp, dynamic shots, especially when photographing fast-moving subjects. The HyperTone Image Engine further optimizes RAW sensor data, preserving image quality across mid-tones, highlights, and shadows, ensuring stunning photos even in difficult lighting conditions, like sunsets or concerts.

AI Telescope Zoom

The Find X8 Series features an AI-powered Telescope Zoom, allowing users to zoom in up to 120x without losing clarity. Different AI models are applied to varying zoom ranges, from 10x to 120x, ensuring sharp, realistic images even at extreme distances.

Unmatched Video Quality

In terms of videography, the Find X8 Series supports Dolby Vision, capturing over a billion colors with frame-by-frame brightness and contrast adjustments. The 12-bit processing pipeline ensures smoother, more vibrant videos, offering a lifelike visual experience.

Quick Button and Hasselblad Mode

The device includes a dedicated Quick Button for easy access to the camera, allowing users to take photos or videos quickly and activate continuous shooting with a long press.

The Hasselblad Camera Mode brings a premium medium-format photography experience to the smartphone, offering stunning color accuracy, dynamic range, and a choice of focal lengths ranging from 24mm to 135mm.

Launch Date?

The OPPO Find X8 Series, including the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, has been on sale in China since October 31st. While the global release date is yet to be confirmed, OPPO India has teased the Find X8 Magic Box on its store, hinting that the launch is imminent.
