Oppo has officially launched its latest premium smartphone, the Oppo Find X8 Pro, in Australia, strengthening its foothold in the high-end device segment. The handset, which was first unveiled globally earlier this month, brings together a combination of cutting-edge processing power, advanced photography features, and a design aimed squarely at consumers seeking a polished alternative to traditional flagship heavyweights such as Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy S series. With Australia being a key market for Oppo’s premium lineup, the arrival of the Find X8 Pro is positioned to attract both loyal users and new buyers drawn by its blend of style and performance.
Design and Display Excellence
The Oppo Find X8 Pro continues the brand’s reputation for sleek and refined design. The device carries an aluminium frame with subtly curved edges that make it both modern and comfortable to hold. It sports a vivid 6.82-inch QHD+ AMOLED display that supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, offering ultra-smooth visuals for browsing, gaming, and streaming. The display also includes Oppo’s latest HDR tuning, ensuring better brightness in outdoor settings and more cinematic colour reproduction. A layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 3 adds durability, providing extra resistance against accidental drops and scratches, a practical consideration for Australian on-the-go lifestyles.
Power and Performance
At its core, the Find X8 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and storage options reaching 512GB. This chipset is built on an advanced architecture that supports faster multitasking and enhanced power efficiency—two areas particularly important for Australian users juggling productivity and entertainment on a single device. The smartphone also features a 5,000mAh battery with Oppo’s proprietary SuperVOOC fast charging technology, capable of replenishing a significant portion of the battery within minutes. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are also supported, addressing the growing convenience demand among premium smartphone users.
Camera System with Hasselblad Partnership
Photography enthusiasts in Australia are likely to take particular interest in the Find X8 Pro’s camera system. Once again, Oppo has partnered with Hasselblad, bringing professional colour calibration and imaging expertise to the handset. The rear camera setup includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens capable of 3x optical zoom. This arrangement is designed to deliver clear and natural-looking shots even in challenging conditions, from bright Sydney beaches to dimly lit Melbourne cafés. On the front, a 32-megapixel selfie camera is supported by advanced AI-driven portrait tools, catering to social media users and professionals alike.
Pricing and Availability in Australia
The Oppo Find X8 Pro is available now through both major retailers and online channels in Australia. Pricing starts at around AUD $1,699, placing it directly in competition with other flagship devices in the market. It comes in two finishes—a glossy ceramic black and a textured eco-leather option—giving consumers a choice between a more traditional look and a sustainable material option. With its balance of premium features and competitive price point, the Find X8 Pro represents Oppo’s strongest challenge yet in Australia’s saturated flagship market. Early availability through Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone ensures that consumers can access bundled 5G plans, adding further appeal for users prioritising connectivity.
