OPPO is crushing it in 2025; the debut of the Find X8 and X8 Pro allowed the brand to build decent momentum going into the year, and the Find N5 showcased just what's possible with foldables. OPPO is building on that with the introduction of the Find X8 Ultra, its best phone yet. Last year's Find X7 Ultra was one of my favorite phones, and it was only bested by Vivo's X100 Ultra when it came to photos and videos, so I was keen on taking a look at what OPPO is doing this year.
The Find X8 Ultra has a new design that's in line with the standard X8 and X8 Pro, and while the overall aesthetic doesn't quite stand out quite as much as previous years, it's great to hold and use. Thankfully, the phone retains the quartet of 50MP cameras at the back, and you get a 1-inch main sensor that takes outstanding photos and videos.
There are the usual upgrades in other areas, and I like that the phone has a 6100mAh battery; it lasts longer than just about every other device I tested in 2025, and is on par with the Vivo X200 Pro in this regard. While there's obviously a lot to like, the Find X8 Ultra has the same foibles as its predecessor; the phone is limited to China as of writing, and there are no plans to bring it to global markets.
