OPPO Find X8 Review

OPPO just introduced two new flagship devices to the global stage. And unlike the previous X series smartphones that were exclusive to China, the new Find X8 and Find X8 Pro will finally compete in the international market. Both handsets feature a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor, excellent Hasselblad-powered cameras, and the latest ColorOS 15. Among the two, only the base OPPO Find X8 is coming to the Philippines. So today, we will on focus on the vanilla Find X8 first to see what it’s all about and why it deserves attention. Aside from the new design, one of the most interesting changes with this year’s X8 is its compact size. Nowadays, smartphones this small usually come with compromises. But did OPPO really skimp on important aspects of a flagship? Are the cameras actually as good as OPPO claims? Is the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip really that powerful?

Meanwhile, the PC Game Pass subscription is also getting a price hike of USD11.99 starting September from the current price of USD9.99. This is terrible news even for subscribers in the Philippines as the current Php119/mo local price will increase to Php175/mo once the changes take effect.

Microsoft will also launch a new Xbox Game Pass Standard subscription tier. It will cost USD14.99 (~Php875) per month for the new users and won’t come with day-one titles. Existing users can still use their Xbox Game Pass for Console subscriptions.

The new Standard tier gains online console multiplayer, which the Xbox Game Pass for Console didn’t have.

Current subscribers of the Xbox Game Pass for Console can stack for up to 13 months from September 18, but it will not affect existing stacks.
