Oppo find X8 Ultra vs Oppo find X8 Pro: What's the real difference?

The Oppo Find X8 Ultra has officially joined Oppo's flagship lineup, sitting just above the Find X8 Pro and the standard Find X8. With major upgrades across various features, the Ultra model takes aim at competing with other high-end devices like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Vivo X200 Ultra. So, what exactly sets the Ultra apart from the Pro? Let's dive into the key differences, from performance to camera improvements and more.

Performance and Battery

When it comes to performance, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra takes the lead with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, outperforming the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 found in the Find X8 Pro.

Both models come with ample RAM, starting at 12 GB, and can be configured with up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage. However, the Ultra model boasts UFS 4.1 storage, while the Pro sticks with UFS 4.0.

In terms of battery, the Ultra outshines the Pro with a 6100 mAh battery, offering a larger capacity than the Pro's 5910 mAh. The Ultra also supports faster 100W wired charging, compared to the Pro’s 80W. Both devices, however, feature 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

Camera Upgrades

The Oppo Find X8 Ultra’s camera setup is a significant leap forward. The main camera uses a larger 1-inch 50 MP sensor, paired with a 50 MP periscope lens for 3x optical zoom and a second 50 MP periscope lens offering 6x optical zoom. Additionally, there's a 50 MP ultra-wide camera, creating a quad-camera setup.

On the other hand, the Find X8 Pro features a similar quad-camera configuration but with a few differences. The main camera uses a 50 MP 1/1.4-inch sensor, and the zoom lenses have different focal lengths and apertures compared to the Ultra’s, though both still deliver impressive results. The Pro's 6x periscope lens has a longer focal length and a narrower aperture (f/4.3), while the Ultra has a wider f/3.1 aperture for better low-light performance.

When it comes to video capabilities, the Ultra offers 4K at 120 FPS, 1080p at 60 FPS, and even 1080p at 240 FPS for super slow motion. The Pro maxes out at 4K 60 FPS. The selfie cameras on both models are identical, featuring a 32 MP sensor with 4K 60 FPS video recording.

Software and Features

Both the Find X8 Ultra and Find X8 Pro run ColorOS 15, based on Android 15. The software experience is nearly identical, with both models featuring under-display fingerprint scanners, but the Ultra’s ultrasonic sensor is faster and more secure compared to the optical sensor in the Pro. Connectivity options are the same for both devices, including Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and a USB Type-C 3.2 port, along with stereo speakers for a better audio experience.

Display and Design

The Ultra’s display is larger at 6.82 inches with a QHD+ resolution, providing a pixel density of 510 pixels per inch. In comparison, the Pro’s 6.78-inch display offers a slightly lower pixel density of 450 pixels per inch. Both phones have LTPO displays for adaptive refresh rates, but the Ultra excels with a peak brightness of 2,500 nits, while the Pro reaches 1,500 nits.

Both phones are IP68 and IP69-rated for dust and water resistance, ensuring durability in challenging environments.

Verdict

In the battle between the Oppo Find X8 Ultra and the Oppo Find X8 Pro, the Ultra undoubtedly offers several premium upgrades, particularly in the performance, camera, and display departments. While the Pro remains a strong contender with its powerful features, the Ultra model delivers a more refined experience for those seeking the best of the best. Whether it's the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, enhanced camera system, or faster charging speeds, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is a worthy flagship for power users.
