Key Takeaways

• The side capacitive capture button is overly stiff, frequently failing to register light taps during quick candid moments.
• Eliminating the beloved physical Alert Slider in favor of on-screen software toggles is an annoying regression.
• The dual periscope telephotos suffer heavy quality drops in low light, falling back to noisy digital crops.
• The polished glass back is slippery as an ice cube, effortlessly sliding off couches and smooth tables.

✅ Pros

• Quad-curved display borders look virtually borderless
• Hasselblad portrait mode renders flattering skin tones
• Massive 5,910mAh battery delivers tremendous longevity

❌ Cons

• Stiff capture button causes missed candid shots
• Baffling removal of physical Alert Slider
• Noticeable low-light degradation on dual zoom lenses
• Extremely slippery glass back requires an immediate case

📝 Verdict

"Find X8 Pro has elite battery and screens, but a clumsy shutter key and killed Alert Slider hurt the experience."

Key points

• Its biggest feature is two periscope telephoto cameras (3x and 6x), along with IP68 + IP69 water resistance.
• A 6.78-inch LTPO OLED at 450 ppi, supporting HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.
• The Dimensity 9400 benchmarks strongly, but games don't support more than 60fps, and performance gradually drops under sustained load.
• GSMArena's battery test result is 15 hours 18 minutes; an 80W charger is included in the box.
• The main camera performs excellently at night; the 6x telephoto is slightly hazy in daylight and not the sharpest; every camera can record 4K 60fps Dolby Vision.

✅ Pros

• Comprehensive multi-focal-length cameras
• Great battery life, charger included
• IP68 + IP69

❌ Cons

• No high-frame-rate gaming
• Cooling is just average
• Selfies aren't the best
• The 6x telephoto is slightly hazy

📝 Verdict

An imaging flagship worth considering: its drawbacks are all minor.

• Channel: TechTablets | Type: Comparison review | Based on: YouTube transcript

Key points

• A side-by-side comparison of the global Find X8 Pro and the Find X8; an 80W SUPERVOOC charger is included in the box.
• Both have the same front camera and chip; the Pro adds a 6x optical periscope telephoto, and its main camera is slightly brighter.
• Widevine L1, Camera2 API Level 3; UFS 4.0.
• The Dimensity 9400 is tuned conservatively, with performance close to the previous generation's flagships, but temperatures are well controlled.
• Battery life is nearly identical on both; 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

✅ Pros

• Stronger main camera and 6x telephoto
• Good battery life, wireless charging
• Good thermal control

❌ Cons

• Chip performance is held back
