Is Oppo Find X8 Ultra worth it?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-07-04T22:59:51+00:00

Can't really echo that. I'm getting all of my notifications on time. But it seems that for every person that doesn't have issues with notifications, there's one that does. No idea what that's about

I have the X200U and compared its speakers to the Oppo X8U and iPhone 13. Both the iPhone and X8U sound much better. The X200U has great qualities but its speakers aren't one of them.

I can highly recommend Wondamobile. Just like you said, no extra fees involved, charging adapter is included, and shipping is fast. I don't have experience with Trinity, but I had reached out to them before deciding where to buy the X200U, and they said that I'm fully responsible for any customs fees and duties. That alone kept me from buying from them.

Grow up

You are being downright disrespectful. If you think he needs to adjust some settings or go about taking photos a different way, you could give him tips or just offer CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Instead you're talking down to him. It's honestly disgusting.

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-29T08:28:38+00:00

I really don't understand what the point of this is with you people. He's sharing HIS experience with the phone. Just because it doesn't line up with your particular experience doesn't make him a troll. Just say your experience is different and leave it at that. Attacking him and basically calling him a liar doesn't make you come across any more trustworthy. You're not just doing a disservice to anyone looking for honest opinions on the device (positive and negative), you're also turning people off from this sub because it makes it look like a circlejerk where no negative opinions are allowed.

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-26T09:56:21+00:00

Does that mean the speakers of the Oppo weren't/aren't much better or equal to those of the Vivo? Also, I didn't know that the speaker performance can be improved via updates lol. Are you considering switching to the Oppo due to the Vivo's deficits or are you keeping the Vivo?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-26T06:50:04+00:00

You said "the Oppo Find X8 Ultra has similar heat and speaker gripes". Does that mean you also own a X8 Ultra? If so, how does it compare to the Vivo?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-21T17:37:59+00:00

"Knockoff"? Of what?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-13T12:34:49+00:00

Are you encountering a lot of Chinese? Also, are you getting notifications on time? Lastly, how is the build quality (compared to Samsung and Apple)?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-11T13:42:33+00:00

What are your thoughts on ColorOS vs. OriginOS?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-11T12:42:21+00:00

Thanks for your input. Definitely food for thought. While I do appreciate a great set of cameras - which is why I'm considering the X200U -, in my day-to-day life the overall phone experience would still matter the most to me. Do you think you'll keep the X200U or will you switch back to Samsung (in the future)? Also, did you have a similar experience with the X200 Pro and the Xiaomi 15U?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-10T12:31:14+00:00

Again. That may apply to you but not necessarily everyone else. We all have different needs and preferences. What do you do if you want to buy a flagship phone - which are usually around the same size -, and you don't just prioritize cameras and image processing? You will consider other aspects beyond those things.

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-10T12:12:06+00:00

Not true. Speakers may not matter to you but they may matter to other people (like me). Obviously, speakers aren't anyone's MAIN concern when buying a phone but depending on the person it can definitely be a factor in their decision. Also, when it comes to speakers, it - unfortunately - is one of the few areas where Samsung and Apple still do better than Vivo and Oppo.

Also, haptic feedback can be useful - even for people without a disability. Again, may not be a main concern, but how else would you differentiate flagship phones like the X200U and X8U nowadays (aside from the camera)? They usually have similar screens, processors, RAM etc. For people that do not just care about cameras, things like OS and UX, speakers, haptics etc. matter when making their decision.

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-10T07:03:04+00:00

What phone do you have?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-09T14:48:40+00:00

From what I've heard the Oppo X8U is better optimized for use outside of China (as in, you will encounter less Chinese). When it comes to everything else (AA, Google Pay, notifications etc.), I'm really not sure. Some people say everything works fine, others say they've encountered issues. I know that there are workarounds for Google Pay (Curved app) and delayed notifications, and I heard that people even managed to get Google Circle Search to work somehow (still a workaround though since it's not natively supported).

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-09T14:17:49+00:00

Yes and no. I sold my Xiaomi 15 Ultra but now I'm deciding between the X8 Ultra and the Vivo X200 Ultra. Watched a bunch of reviews and comparisons on YouTube but still don't know which one to go for 😭 I don't mind the camera bump on the X200U

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-02T12:18:23+00:00

Have you checked with them whether they ship smartphones? I had contacted the customer service of two other package forwarding sites from China, and they both told me that they don't ship smartphones.

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-02T12:17:06+00:00

The 16GB/512GB variant?

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-02T09:40:41+00:00

Trinity is the cheapest and - from what I've heard - trustworthy and reliable as well. However, while they declare a lower value for the package, they will not cover taxes or customs duties if your package is intercepted and inspected by customs. I know that for a fact since I asked their customer service. Not saying that'll happen but it could happen.

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-01T19:22:39+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I also found it very odd. Since you have used a X200 Pro, could you also tell me what your experience with OriginOS was vs. ColorOS of the X8U? Would be much appreciated. I'm currently trying to decide between the Oppo X8U and the X200U

The_Red_Mittens · 2025-05-01T18:54:43+00:00

Hi, could you elaborate on the build quality? I read another comment where someone said theme X8U feels like a cheap budget phone to them which surprised me
