OPPO Find X8 camera review: almost comprehensive in both hardware and software | GameHov

OPPO Find X8 is one of the two latest high-end smartphone models just launched by OPPO at the end of November, marking the return of the Find X series after 2 years of absence in the Vietnamese market. OPPO shows a big investment when going “all in” on the camera with an AI telescopic zoom lens and support from the famous camera company Hasselblad.

From invested hardware​

Right from the hardware, OPPO has put effort into Find X8 with the system The 3 cameras all have a large resolution of 50MP. In particular, the main camera and 3X telephoto camera use sensors from Sony, Sony LYT-700 and LYT-600 respectively, and the super wide-angle camera uses Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor. At the front, the selfie camera also has a large resolution of 32MP with Sony IMX615 sensor.

In addition, the company also equips a series of AI features on the camera system such as AI telescopic zoom, AI Clarity Enhancement, AI Anti-Reflection, AI Face Sharpening, AI Studio or AI Object Removal, etc. ..

Practical experience showing the camera system AI telescopic zoom on Find X8 works really well. 3X optical zoom lens combined with AI algorithm allows flexible zoom at many different focal ranges.

At 2X – 3X zoom levels, Find X8 delivers sharp photos in many lighting conditions, day or night. At 6x focal length, even though it is only digital zoom, thanks to the help of AI, Find X8 still allows you to capture distant scenes and objects clearly. Optical image stabilization system (OIS) along with 50MP sensors on all lenses helps Find X8 capture moments with stable, uniform quality in many lighting conditions. The AI ​​Telescopic Zoom feature according to OPPO is Using AI algorithms along with generative AI models, zoom users can approach each subject in detail while maintaining clarity and accuracy, even at maximum zoom levels up to 120X. OPPO shares that AI technology ensures images at different zoom levels significantly enhance image resolution, detail, color, or image reproduction at the pixel level, helping the photo always achieve clarity at high zoom levels. In fact, in most situations, I find a zoom level of about 30X is enough, but anything larger than 30X will be quite difficult to take photos due to shaking and the image quality is no longer clear. Find X8 is also equipped with feature Burst Shot – Burst Shotallowing users to launch the camera interface simply by double-clicking one of the two volume up and down keys, or pressing and holding to turn on continuous shooting mode with almost 0 latency. The Burst Shot feature also allows Allows the camera to recognize body posture and shape in real time, thereby supporting face and eye recognition, optimizing shutter speed to capture quick moments such as photos of moving children and pets. . I tried the Burst Shot feature and it worked quite well, helping me capture clear images of my two kids while they were playing, running and jumping with little blur.

Attention is paid to software ​

OPPO Find Simulating the Hasselblad camera lines, OPPO says the Find With rich focal length options, Find X8 Series also allows users to create many unique shooting angles, especially with dreamy portrait effects, I can take portrait photos that look quite “deep”. ” without much effort in post-production editing.

I am also quite impressed with the color filters on Find X8, especially the film color filters that help create more emotional photos. There are up to 3 key color options on Find X8 including Green Gray to help bring gentle tones, suitable for capturing natural scenes and nostalgic spaces; Transparent helps create subtle nuances, helping the subject stand out in overall harmony, maintaining clarity and naturalness, and Vivid is suitable for vivid scenes, especially landscapes or moments vibrant in everyday life. The color I use most often is Green Gray because it produces images very close to film cameras, with a characteristic green tint, exuding nostalgia.

Take care of AI features​

With AI features, Find X8’s built-in Smart Editor with AI also brings many conveniences. I probably use the feature the most Eraser AI Helps remove unwanted details or objects in the frame with just a few taps, making the photo more complete and “clean”.

Features Fix blur error It’s also quite useful in helping me “save” photos that are blurry due to hand shake or subjects moving too fast, improving the sharpness of photos.

Features Delete the reflection It helps you effectively eliminate light streaks or reflections from glass or water, making the image clearer and clearer.

And another cool feature is Enhance clarity Helps improve resolution and detail in photos taken in low light or low quality conditions, resulting in sharper images. The feature I often use to restore and improve old photos taken when I was a child about 20-30 years ago, the results are quite impressive.

Another fun feature is AI Studiohelps you “transform” into many different characters from just one original photo. You can transform into a muse, a superhero, an astronaut, people from other countries, or simply try a new style of dress, hairstyle, or makeup.

This is a really fun feature, when you can quickly transform into anyone, from “presidents”, “generals”, “generals” or even become a “female knight” version. “”, “billionaire fairy”, “rich lady”, “Mona Lisa”… There are “dozens” of diverse styles for you to freely choose from in AI Studio and are arranged according to different themes. From taking single photos or taking group photos of two people, there are a variety of themes from Groups Wedding, School, Mischief or Travel, Fashion… On Find X8, you can also “transform” into anime style, 3D animation or manga, oil painting.

Video recording ability is also “not average”​

Regarding video recording capabilities, Find X8 can record videos up to 4K/60p with all cameras on the device – including three cameras on the back and a selfie camera. The default codec is h.265, but you can switch to h.264. Dolby Vision recording is also available, hidden behind the HDR toggle in the video recording interface. There’s also a Movie mode that operates at a 21:9 ratio, where you can adjust exposure, focus, and white balance parameters quite professionally.
The 4K video quality from the Find X8’s main camera is truly impressive with wide dynamic range, accurate white balance and vibrant colors, good anti-shake, and smooth panning. The details are clear, the sound is vivid, and the noise is effectively filtered, but you should avoid 2X zoom and zoom up to 3X to use the optical lens. The same thing with 6x zoom level when the video is a bit flat and noisy.
