Oppo has recently launched the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, but the release was limited to China. The introduction of these two premium smartphones took place during a launch event, which also featured various other Oppo gadgets, including the Pad 3 Pro. Shortly after, OnePlus, Oppo's sister company, revealed the successor to last year's OnePlus 12 (currently priced at $749.99 on Amazon), which became available for import soon after its official launch in China.
Importing the New Devices
Both of Oppo's new Find X smartphones can be imported from China at attractive prices. As usual, Giztop and TradingShenzhen are among the first third-party retailers to offer the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro for customers outside China. It's important to be aware that there are restrictions when importing devices from these companies.
Software Limitations
For instance, these devices will come pre-installed with Chinese software, which lacks feature parity with the global version of ColorOS that Oppo also provides. This means that Android Auto may not function, and some banking or contactless payment apps could face issues. However, it's worth noting that even the Chinese versions of ColorOS support multiple languages. Additionally, Oppo includes Google Mobile Services and the Google Play Store, so most apps should work fine, including Google's own applications.
Pricing Details
Currently, Giztop is selling the Find X8 Pro starting at $899, which includes 12 GB of RAM along with 256 GB of storage. Alternatively, the phone can be customized with three additional memory options, reaching up to a 16 GB RAM and 1 TB model priced at $1,099. On the other hand, TradingShenzhen is pricier overall for the Find X8 Pro, though it does offer the Find X8, starting at around $725.
