have you ever thought to yourself hm you know what I need a phone that has a
display that can go up to 4,500 nits is loaded up with AI has up to five
flipping cameras on it can airdrop files to my iPhone carrying friends and you
know what for good measure I'd like it to have an IR blaster so I can use it as
a universal remote well guess what my friends the find X8 and find X8 Pro have
all of those things this video is sponsored by Oppo and we're going to be
taking a look at them first and foremost both are loaded up with mediat Tech's
new dimensity 9400 chipset meaning that even though
one is pro and one is not both actually
were found to have very similar performance when we ran them through our
Labs testing but before we get to that let's do a quick unboxing and have a
look at what's included whoa no way an actual charging
brick what were they thinking nobody does that anymore not only that but in
240 volt regions these included Chargers will do up to 80 WT wired charging with
these phones and over Wireless they're rated at what was it up to 50 Watts that
is flipping wild oh they also include a
USBC cable but on the subject of USBC
that is the first big difference between the non-pro and the pro the non-pro uses
USB for slower file transfers while the pro uses USB 3.2 for much faster wired
file transfers the last unboxing bits are oh look at that they include a
case there we go both include cases though in different colors and as you
can see they are not intercompatibility
I'm trying to think if there's a device that the shape of the non-pro reminds me
of why don't we use this opportunity to have a look at one of their highlighted
features which is the ability to airdrop files to your iPhone owning friends
totally um unrelated thing to bring that
out right now while we discuss the shape of this phone though uh okay let's go
ahead and give it a shot to do so we just use a familiar gesture to bring
down the quick settings and then go ahead and click share with
iPhone I guess I need an app now oh let's take a quick picture
how about a selfie cool we got o connect okay share
with iPhone one device
connected hey all right well took a couple of
attempts but we did manage to get the file downloaded and look at that in
glorious full quality oh I guess now Z
as good a time as any to talk about the cameras you either get three rear
cameras on the non-pro or four rear cameras on the pro and I'm going to have
to pull up my notes here because I'm going to have a hard time remembering how many megapixels they all are so
they're let's see 50 megapixels 50
megapixels 50 megapixels 50 50 50 and 50
in all seriousness I do need my notes but it's for the focal lengths and features so on the non-pro we've got a
24 mm wide that one has Optical image stabilization
then we've got a 73 mm telephoto that
has 3x optical zoom and Optical image stabilization and we've also got a 15 mm
120° Ultra wide moving over to the pro
we get a 23 mm wide with Optical image stabilization a 73mm periscope telephoto
with 3x optical zoom a 135 mm Periscope
telephoto with Optical image stabilization and 6X optical zoom and
finally a 15 mm 120°
ultrawide both of them as you would expect for a modern device are getting
software and AI image enhancement and both of them have a 32 megapixel
front-facing selfie camera all right let's try out the camera shall I love
this shot in the studio here it's a very challenging condition cuz we've got the
studio lights firing right into the lenses but it happens a lot because I
don't know what it is but you ask someone to take a picture for you you're out hiking or whatever it's like they go
out of their way to have some kind of light source go right into the lens
pretty Sharp actually not bad and surprisingly they're not over juicing
the contrast and saturation I want to play around with the telephoto so let's
take some more pictures of our producer Bell oh yeah look at him over there
there's a little bit more detail on the pro little bit more
resolution both really solid though of
course the pro has even more in the tank let's go ahead and take a
6X okay can we get
even more detail out of the 6X wow look at that you can almost make
out some of the markings on the not actually a component actually a dbrand
skin here look at the texture of your jeans B look at this I mean okay in all
seriousness though yeah it actually looks really good last thing selfie I'm
expecting these to be very similar but there's no doubt in my mind that the
camera is a little bit better on the pro
as you would probably expect
that's a lot of that's actually a lot of detail on a selfie camera I don't see
any kind of measurable difference here though which makes sense they are both
spec the same hey I wonder what we can do with the AI editor let's see I can
remove Reflections I can unblur I can AI
eraser and I can enhance Clarity let's try to take a bad picture I just got to
quick launch the camera so now is as good a time as any to show you guys the
quick button on the pro model is it just a button it's just a button it just felt
like a squeeze okay it's totally just a button anyway you double tap it to launch the camera okay I'm going to try
to take a bad selfie with some weird guy behind me okay now I just need to get
rid of this guy smart
lasso okay get the heck out of my
picture compare uh you know
what actually not stupid now let's
change gears and talk about the screens Oppo says that these panels are capable
of hitting up to 4500 nits then we hit
about 800 nits Peak brightness in SDR mode on both devices about a th000 in
HDR in the balanced performance profile
and anywhere from around 1,600 to 1,800
depending on the window size in high performance mode with auto brightness
enabled on both of these phones so those are perfectly acceptable modern HDR
results even if they're uh 45 00 nits is
more to do with maybe the peak capabilities of this panel under
isolated circumstances and less to do with what you'll actually see on this
phone I'd like to see them just not talk about that at all to be perfectly honest
with you let's look at what some HDR content looks like on it shall we okay
there we go yep that's that's HDR all right can confirm curiously we found
that HDR on both of the phones performed lower than we would expect with auto
brightness enabled and in their balanced performance profile so until Oppo is
issues a fix for that we would probably recommend running the phone in the
higher performance mode shall we listen to some crab RVE hit that volume
slider amplified airp
speaker pretty okay pretty loud uh definitely some Distortion toward the
top end after about 70% volume let's try the nonpr
also has an amplified Earp speaker for stereo
sound very similar result maybe a touch
worse oh on the subject of hitting the volume rocker we never really did like a
physical tour of these things so both of them have that IR Blaster up on the top
man I needed an IR blaster so bad the other day like so bad the remote was
missing for something and I had to change something and it was like
actually a disaster and because I've switched the iPhone in my old Samsung
doesn't have an IR blaster it like really sucked anyway that's a cool
feature to have that time that you needed or if it's part of your flow on
the right we've got our lock button as well as our volume rocker and then on
the pro model the quick button which felt like a squeeze button has really
nice htics but it turns out is just a button other side love this alert slider
the ability with a quick slide to change from Silent to vibrate to ring is oh so
nice to have they've both got that a good time to talk about charging in our
testing both phones charged up in an hour and both lasted for about 19 hours
in spite of the PR's larger battery so it looks like that larger battery is
pretty much just going towards the slightly larger display let's try
critical Ops oh boy that is quite the download I guess now is as good a time
as any to say it has Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 though and once we get our game
actually launched it has a 120 HZ display for more fluid visuals I got to
say man mediatech has come a long way the fact that we're not is saying oh
yeah well it's got a Media Tech chip set so forget about it is pretty impressive
like these are not the highest benchmark scores we've ever seen but they are
completely fine I can't do this I'm going to get him no what come on how did
that not hit coming back to both phones there's a few things I haven't talked
about yet they're both ip69 ip68 dust
and water resistant they both apparently have had a lot of work done on their
antenna arrays as well as software to ensure that they get the best possible
data reception and they both are available in a variety of colorways with
up to 1 terabyte of storage it's not
going to come cheap even the 512 gig version when we convert from Indonesian
rupia which is the only pricing we have uh ends up at around 1,000 and around
$1250 but hey if you want a lot of storage on your phone I guess that's the
way to do it now that micro SD slots are out of fashion overall they both pack a
surprising amount of performance and features into a relatively comp Compact
and lightweight package and while color OSS would have been a downside way back
in the day one of the things we do for ShortCircuit is we'll search like this
thing controversy to see kind of what the community is saying and color OSS
has grown extremely well regarded over the last little while and they're both
shipping with color OS 15 so if you guys want to check these out hey thanks to
Oppo for sponsoring this video and we'll have these linked down below subscribe
