- OPPO’s Find X8 Pro could not just have four 50MP cameras, but include one offering 10x optical periscope zoom.
- The OPPO Find X7 Ultra topped out at just 6x, and we haven’t seen a good 10x option since the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
- Leaked specs detail the rest of the hardware package making up both the OPPO Find X8 and X8 Pro.
What’s the last smartphone you used that offered some really impressive optical zoom? Sure, with AI-powered tools like Google’s Zoom Enhance on the Pixel 9 Pro, you can achieve some impressive results without needing a lot of extra camera hardware, but for the purists out there, sometimes nothing but an actual zoom lens will do. But looking at the latest crop of devices, their zoom specs have been a little underwhelming: both the Pixel 9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra are limited to just 5x, and even the OPPO Find X7 Ultra only hits 6x. We’ve got some good news for fans of the extreme close-up, as the latest OPPO Find X8 leak suggest there’s a big zoom-lens upgrade in the works.
We already heard that the Find X8 Ultra could feature some impressive camera hardware, with four separate 50MP sensors. And while that same source also mentioned the possibility of dual periscope zoom lenses, we didn’t get all the details about how those might arrive. Now Smartprix shares the latest leak from Yogesh Brar, who reveals that the Find X8 Pro (perhaps we’re dropping the “Ultra” and going back to Find X6 era branding) may upgrade to a 10x optical zoom.
