The same Dimensity 9400 and the same five-year OS commitment as the Pro, in a 193g body with a flat 6.59-inch screen, for $250 less. You lose one periscope. For most people that is the right trade.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the Find X8 be supported?

Five OS upgrades and six years of security patches from its November 2024 release, taking security support to November 2030 — the same commitment as the Pro. Around four and a half years remain.

Is the Find X8 much smaller than the Pro?

Meaningfully, yes. 6.59 inches against 6.78, and 193g against 215g. Twenty-two grams and a fifth of an inch sound minor on paper but change how the phone feels in a pocket and in one hand. The Find X8 also uses a flat display where the Pro's is curved, which many people prefer for typing and typing accuracy.

What do you lose versus the Find X8 Pro?

One camera. The Pro has both a 3x telephoto and a 6x periscope; the standard X8 has a single 3x periscope. Everything else — the Dimensity 9400, the IP69 rating, the five-year OS commitment, 80W and 50W charging — is shared. The Pro also carries a slightly larger battery at 5,910mAh versus 5,630mAh.

Is ColorOS a problem?

It is a matter of taste. ColorOS 15 is fast and feature-rich, with good animation quality and useful customisation, but it ships with more preinstalled applications than a Pixel or a Nothing phone and its notification handling takes adjustment if you are used to stock Android. Most of the preinstalls can be removed.
