Owned by the same firm as OnePlus, Oppo isn’t a huge name in the UK, but the Find X8 Pro demands attention with a big, bright display, four rear cameras, a huge battery and a surprisingly reasonable price.
That’s not to say it’s cheap. At £1,049 inc VAT we’re in premium territory, but that includes 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, which is more than you’ll find on rival phones in this price range. Two colour options are offered: sensible Space Black and the more characterful Pearl White, which has a unique texture on every handset.
The big camera block at the back reflects the OnePlus connection, and Oppo has also borrowed the physical alert slider from OnePlus, which is handy for quickly switching between regular, silent and vibrate-only modes.
