In terms of the battery, there’s a big upgrade, as the new Find X8 packs a larger 5,630mAh cell with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging support. The Find X7 houses a 5,000mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging, but it lacks wireless charging.

Software-wise, the Oppo Find X8 runs on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, whereas, the Find X7 boots on a year-old ColorOS 14 with Android 14 underneath, and the update schedule of the phone remains unclear. Having said that, expect an extra year of software support on the newer Find X8.

Overall, the Oppo Find X8 has a new design, an improved periscope telephoto camera, a new chipset, and a bigger battery. Having said that, for a starting price of Rs 69,999, it’s the device to go with if you are looking for a new camera-centric Android phone. The Find X7 isn’t available in India, so you can’t buy it here.

Apart from this, the new Find X8 competes with the Apple iPhone 16 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 in the same range.
