00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.480
have you ever thought to yourself hm you know what I need a phone that has a

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:11.719
display that can go up to 4,500 nits is loaded up with AI has up to five

00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:15.320
flipping cameras on it can airdrop files to my iPhone carrying friends and you

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:19.080
know what for good measure I'd like it to have an IR blaster so I can use it as

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:26.480
a universal remote well guess what my friends the find X8 and find X8 Pro have

00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:30.800
all of those things this video is sponsored by Oppo and we're going to be

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:34.239
taking a look at them first and foremost both are loaded up with mediat Tech's

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:40.800
new dimensity 9400 chipset meaning that even though

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:42.600
one is pro and one is not both actually

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:46.120
were found to have very similar performance when we ran them through our

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:49.399
Labs testing but before we get to that let's do a quick unboxing and have a

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:55.520
look at what's included whoa no way an actual charging

00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:00.320
brick what were they thinking nobody does that anymore not only that but in

00:00:57.879 --> 00:01:04.280
240 volt regions these included Chargers will do up to 80 WT wired charging with

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:10.960
these phones and over Wireless they're rated at what was it up to 50 Watts that

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:14.600
is flipping wild oh they also include a

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:16.759
USBC cable but on the subject of USBC

00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:22.200
that is the first big difference between the non-pro and the pro the non-pro uses

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:27.799
USB for slower file transfers while the pro uses USB 3.2 for much faster wired

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:33.240
file transfers the last unboxing bits are oh look at that they include a

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:38.960
case there we go both include cases though in different colors and as you

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:38.960
can see they are not intercompatibility

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:07.320
I'm trying to think if there's a device that the shape of the non-pro reminds me

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:11.680
of why don't we use this opportunity to have a look at one of their highlighted

00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:18.800
features which is the ability to airdrop files to your iPhone owning friends

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.319
totally um unrelated thing to bring that

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:23.959
out right now while we discuss the shape of this phone though uh okay let's go

00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:28.239
ahead and give it a shot to do so we just use a familiar gesture to bring

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:33.239
down the quick settings and then go ahead and click share with

00:02:30.519 --> 00:02:38.200
iPhone I guess I need an app now oh let's take a quick picture

00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:46.360
how about a selfie cool we got o connect okay share

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.519
with iPhone one device

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:53.200
connected hey all right well took a couple of

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:59.840
attempts but we did manage to get the file downloaded and look at that in

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:01.440
glorious full quality oh I guess now Z

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.159
as good a time as any to talk about the cameras you either get three rear

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:09.319
cameras on the non-pro or four rear cameras on the pro and I'm going to have

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:15.879
to pull up my notes here because I'm going to have a hard time remembering how many megapixels they all are so

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:22.040
they're let's see 50 megapixels 50

00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:23.720
megapixels 50 megapixels 50 50 50 and 50

00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:29.239
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

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:33.720
24 mm wide that one has Optical image stabilization

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:36.200
then we've got a 73 mm telephoto that

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:42.760
has 3x optical zoom and Optical image stabilization and we've also got a 15 mm

00:03:39.640 --> 00:03:45.480
120° Ultra wide moving over to the pro

00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:52.000
we get a 23 mm wide with Optical image stabilization a 73mm periscope telephoto

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:53.280
with 3x optical zoom a 135 mm Periscope

00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:00.000
telephoto with Optical image stabilization and 6X optical zoom and

00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:02.120
finally a 15 mm 120°

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.599
ultrawide both of them as you would expect for a modern device are getting

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:10.599
software and AI image enhancement and both of them have a 32 megapixel

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:14.599
front-facing selfie camera all right let's try out the camera shall I love

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:18.759
this shot in the studio here it's a very challenging condition cuz we've got the

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:22.639
studio lights firing right into the lenses but it happens a lot because I

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:27.280
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

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:31.840
out of their way to have some kind of light source go right into the lens

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:36.759
pretty Sharp actually not bad and surprisingly they're not over juicing

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:40.759
the contrast and saturation I want to play around with the telephoto so let's

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:46.720
take some more pictures of our producer Bell oh yeah look at him over there

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:52.800
there's a little bit more detail on the pro little bit more

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:55.560
resolution both really solid though of

00:04:52.800 --> 00:05:00.759
course the pro has even more in the tank let's go ahead and take a

00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:02.880
6X okay can we get

00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:09.000
even more detail out of the 6X wow look at that you can almost make

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:12.720
out some of the markings on the not actually a component actually a dbrand

00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:18.199
skin here look at the texture of your jeans B look at this I mean okay in all

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:22.680
seriousness though yeah it actually looks really good last thing selfie I'm

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:27.280
expecting these to be very similar but there's no doubt in my mind that the

00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:31.280
camera is a little bit better on the pro

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:31.280
as you would probably expect

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:39.120
that's a lot of that's actually a lot of detail on a selfie camera I don't see

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:43.080
any kind of measurable difference here though which makes sense they are both

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:50.520
spec the same hey I wonder what we can do with the AI editor let's see I can

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:53.039
remove Reflections I can unblur I can AI

00:05:50.520 --> 00:05:56.680
eraser and I can enhance Clarity let's try to take a bad picture I just got to

00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:00.720
quick launch the camera so now is as good a time as any to show you guys the

00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:04.720
quick button on the pro model is it just a button it's just a button it just felt

00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:10.240
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

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:17.520
to take a bad selfie with some weird guy behind me okay now I just need to get

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:21.639
rid of this guy smart

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:24.000
lasso okay get the heck out of my

00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:29.840
picture compare uh you know

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:31.680
what actually not stupid now let's

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:36.680
change gears and talk about the screens Oppo says that these panels are capable

00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.039
of hitting up to 4500 nits then we hit

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:45.319
about 800 nits Peak brightness in SDR mode on both devices about a th000 in

00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:48.840
HDR in the balanced performance profile

00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:50.880
and anywhere from around 1,600 to 1,800

00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:54.560
depending on the window size in high performance mode with auto brightness

00:06:52.479 --> 00:07:01.039
enabled on both of these phones so those are perfectly acceptable modern HDR

00:06:56.840 --> 00:07:02.879
results even if they're uh 45 00 nits is

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:06.560
more to do with maybe the peak capabilities of this panel under

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:10.440
isolated circumstances and less to do with what you'll actually see on this

00:07:08.280 --> 00:07:13.599
phone I'd like to see them just not talk about that at all to be perfectly honest

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:18.639
with you let's look at what some HDR content looks like on it shall we okay

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:24.039
there we go yep that's that's HDR all right can confirm curiously we found

00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:27.680
that HDR on both of the phones performed lower than we would expect with auto

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:31.240
brightness enabled and in their balanced performance profile so until Oppo is

00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:35.800
issues a fix for that we would probably recommend running the phone in the

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:39.759
higher performance mode shall we listen to some crab RVE hit that volume

00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:43.800
slider amplified airp

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:56.000
speaker pretty okay pretty loud uh definitely some Distortion toward the

00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:59.080
top end after about 70% volume let's try the nonpr

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:04.960
also has an amplified Earp speaker for stereo

00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:10.159
sound very similar result maybe a touch

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:14.960
worse oh on the subject of hitting the volume rocker we never really did like a

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:20.199
physical tour of these things so both of them have that IR Blaster up on the top

00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:24.879
man I needed an IR blaster so bad the other day like so bad the remote was

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:27.919
missing for something and I had to change something and it was like

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:31.280
actually a disaster and because I've switched the iPhone in my old Samsung

00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:34.440
doesn't have an IR blaster it like really sucked anyway that's a cool

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:38.640
feature to have that time that you needed or if it's part of your flow on

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:42.919
the right we've got our lock button as well as our volume rocker and then on

00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:46.959
the pro model the quick button which felt like a squeeze button has really

00:08:44.959 --> 00:08:52.680
nice htics but it turns out is just a button other side love this alert slider

00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:59.480
the ability with a quick slide to change from Silent to vibrate to ring is oh so

00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:02.560
nice to have they've both got that a good time to talk about charging in our

00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:07.920
testing both phones charged up in an hour and both lasted for about 19 hours

00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:11.399
in spite of the PR's larger battery so it looks like that larger battery is

00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:16.000
pretty much just going towards the slightly larger display let's try

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:19.440
critical Ops oh boy that is quite the download I guess now is as good a time

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:23.240
as any to say it has Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 though and once we get our game

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:28.480
actually launched it has a 120 HZ display for more fluid visuals I got to

00:09:25.560 --> 00:09:31.519
say man mediatech has come a long way the fact that we're not is saying oh

00:09:30.079 --> 00:09:35.320
yeah well it's got a Media Tech chip set so forget about it is pretty impressive

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:39.920
like these are not the highest benchmark scores we've ever seen but they are

00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:46.120
completely fine I can't do this I'm going to get him no what come on how did

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:50.680
that not hit coming back to both phones there's a few things I haven't talked

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:53.079
about yet they're both ip69 ip68 dust

00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:57.560
and water resistant they both apparently have had a lot of work done on their

00:09:54.880 --> 00:10:02.120
antenna arrays as well as software to ensure that they get the best possible

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:07.880
data reception and they both are available in a variety of colorways with

00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:10.279
up to 1 terabyte of storage it's not

00:10:07.880 --> 00:10:14.079
going to come cheap even the 512 gig version when we convert from Indonesian

00:10:12.079 --> 00:10:19.680
rupia which is the only pricing we have uh ends up at around 1,000 and around

00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:23.120
$1250 but hey if you want a lot of storage on your phone I guess that's the

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:27.360
way to do it now that micro SD slots are out of fashion overall they both pack a

00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:32.200
surprising amount of performance and features into a relatively comp Compact

00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:35.959
and lightweight package and while color OSS would have been a downside way back

00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:40.000
in the day one of the things we do for ShortCircuit is we'll search like this

00:10:37.839 --> 00:10:44.920
thing controversy to see kind of what the community is saying and color OSS

00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:48.639
has grown extremely well regarded over the last little while and they're both

00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:52.000
shipping with color OS 15 so if you guys want to check these out hey thanks to

00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:57.200
Oppo for sponsoring this video and we'll have these linked down below subscribe
