So, you’ve wrapped your head around the Find X8 Ultra—Oppo’s no-holds-barred mega flagship—and now here come the Find X8s and Find X8s+. No, they’re not smaller versions of the Ultra (OK, maybe one of them is). Yes, the naming is mildly confusing, so do not confuse them with the Find X8 and the Find X8 Pro. Already confused? Me too. I have to carefully check that I am not talking about the wrong model.
These two new phones are Oppo’s way of saying, “You can have flagship features and still fit your phone in your pocket.” These devices—specifically the X8s [CH]—join the latest fad of “small display” devices (which aren’t small, small, if you know what I mean). Anyhoo, the Find X8s sports a 6.3-inch (16 cm) FHD+ AMOLED display while the slightly beefier X8s+ [CH] goes for a 6.59-inch (16.7 cm) panel—both running buttery smooth at 120Hz. The bezels? Barely there.
Powering these stylish little beasts is the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chip, paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a massive 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Cameras get the Hasselblad treatment too, with 50 MP triple-lens systems tuned for crispy photos and stabilized zooms. The Find X8s uses an 85 mm telephoto lens, while the X8s+ goes for a 73 mm version—because small differences still matter, apparently.
Battery life is no slouch either. The X8s packs 5,700 mAh, and the X8s+ bumps it to 6,000 mAh. Both support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, so you’re not waiting around. And yes, they’ve got IP68 and IP69 ratings for that “just in case” moment at the pool.
Starting at 4,199 yuan (around USD 580), they’re compact, premium, and a bit confusing—but definitely worth a look because of Hasselblad imaging.
