OPPO has been teasing the arrival of the Find But the time has finally come, as the new flagship Android phones have just been unveiled in China.
OPPO previously confirmed that the phones will offer the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 flagship processor, Hasselblad cameras, wireless charging support, an alert slider, and IP68 and IP69 ratings. But the company has now revealed that the two devices also share 80W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds, although it only offers 33W wired speeds through PPS chargers.
The Find X8 series also supports the so-called OPPO Mag ecosystem of magnetic accessories, albeit via an optional housing. OPPO Mag accessories include an ultra-thin power bank, an 80W 20,000mAh power bank and a 50W wireless charger with a cooling fan.
The brand also unveiled some nice new software features thanks to the Color OS 15 skin. Perhaps the most notable addition for photography enthusiasts is the previously reported reflection eraser tool for photos.
The phones also offer a so-called Shadowless Snapshot option. The company says you simply have to raise your hand to capture sharp images instead of using a special snapshot mode. The company compared this capability to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, as seen in the image above. Other notable camera features include higher quality Live Photos, a so-called portrait mode with soft light and three photographic styles/profiles to emulate film footage.

So those looking for the best camera phone may want to keep this device in mind.
The company has also introduced an Apple-style camera shutter button. Like the iPhone 16 button, this camera key supports both presses for capture and swipes for zooming in and out. So this is actually the first Android phone with this type of multifunctional camera key.
