Oppo Find X8 Pro vs Vivo X200 Pro: Which Premium Smartphone Should You Buy?
Design and Display
The Oppo Find X8 Pro and Vivo X200 Pro both feature an ultra-premium design, as we mentioned for the vanilla Find X8 model, using glass for the front and back, while the sides are aluminum. Both devices are IP68/I69 rated for dust and water. Oppo takes it further with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on the front and back for additional durability, whereas Vivo is using Armor scratch-resistant glass, which might lack the same level of drop protection. Both phones have 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screens with vibrant colors, smooth 120Hz refresh rates, and HDR10+ support. Both displays are stunning, sharing a 4,500 nits peak brightness and 2K resolution.
Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset with Immortalis-G925 GPU powers the Oppo Find X8 Pro and Vivo X200 Pro, ensuring smooth performance when running multiple apps or playing graphics-intensive games. Both phones include 12GB/16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. As for software, it varies from Oppo’s ColorOS 15 to Vivo’s FunTouch OS 15. Each offers deep customization and faster animations than their predecessors.
Camera
Oppo and Vivo take distinct approaches to their camera setups. Oppo has a quad-camera, with all 50MP lenses, and Vivo has a triple-camera with a particularly impressive 200MP telephoto lens. Where Vivo’s telephoto shines in zoom shots, Oppo prioritizes Hasselblad Color Calibration for accurate colors.
Both phones feature a 32MP selfie camera, though on the Vivo you’ll have an ultrawide lens for wider group shots. Vivo also outshines Oppo in video recording, with the ability to shoot in 8K, while Oppo supports Dolby Vision HDR and 10-bit video.
Battery and Charging
Oppo Find X8 Pro lags behind with a 5910 mAh battery, while Vivo has a 6000 mAh battery. Vivo’s 90W wired charging is faster, but Oppo’s 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging offer a solid performance. The choice comes down to wired speed versus wireless convenience.
Final Verdict
The Vivo X200 Pro is attainable for content creators due to its superior camera, larger battery, and Hi-Res audio. That said, the Oppo Find X8 Pro is a more than solid option, particularly for those keen on mobile imaging. It’s ultimately up to your tastes, but if you’re hoping for a better picture of what the Vivo X200 Pro’s pricing and features look like, you might be better off waiting for a global launch.
