After limiting the last two flagships to China, Oppo ’s Find X series is returning to the global stage in style. The Oppo Find X8 Pro is as feature-packed as a slab phone can get: four 50MP cameras, a flagship processor, big battery, and a top-notch display – it’s got everything, at least on paper.

I’m no longer battery-anxious when using the Find X8 Pro. If you are a light phone user, it can last up to two days on a single charge. I’m confident that it’ll last an entire day for every type of user.
