Display Comparison

The Samsung Galaxy S24+ boasts a brighter display, reaching 1452 nits measured, compared to the Oppo Find X8’s 1364 nits. While both displays are excellent, the S24+'s higher peak brightness translates to better visibility under direct sunlight. Both are likely to employ LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates, conserving battery life, though this isn't explicitly stated. The S24+'s display is also known for its vibrant color accuracy, a hallmark of Samsung’s panels, while Oppo typically focuses on natural color reproduction. Bezels are expected to be minimal on both devices, contributing to an immersive viewing experience.

Camera Comparison

The context data only mentions 'Photo / Video' for the S24+, lacking specific sensor details. However, Samsung’s flagship cameras are renowned for their versatility and image processing. Expect a multi-camera system with a high-resolution main sensor, likely 50MP or higher, with optical image stabilization (OIS). The Oppo Find X8’s camera specifications are also absent, but Oppo has been consistently improving its camera technology. The quality of image processing algorithms will be a key differentiator. While megapixel count isn't everything, a larger sensor size generally improves low-light performance. The absence of details on the Oppo's camera system makes a direct comparison difficult, but it's safe to assume Samsung has a more established and refined camera system.

Performance

The core of this comparison lies in the chipsets. The Oppo Find X8’s Mediatek Dimensity 9400, built on a 3nm process, features a unique CPU configuration: 1x3.63 GHz Cortex-X925, 3x3.3 GHz Cortex-X4, and 4x2.4 GHz Cortex-A720. This contrasts with the Samsung Galaxy S24+'s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm) – or the Exynos 2400 (also 4nm) in international markets. The Dimensity 9400’s Cortex-X925 core is a newer, potentially more efficient design than the X4 in the Snapdragon, suggesting a performance advantage in single-threaded tasks. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s Adreno GPU is a known quantity, offering excellent gaming performance. The Exynos 2400’s performance is a known variable, often trailing the Snapdragon in efficiency and sustained performance. Both phones will likely utilize LPDDR5x RAM, but the speed and configuration could vary, impacting multitasking capabilities. Thermal management will be crucial; the 3nm Dimensity 9400 *should* offer better efficiency, but Oppo’s thermal design will ultimately determine its ability to sustain peak performance.

Battery Life

The Oppo Find X8 demonstrates a clear advantage in battery life, achieving an active use score of 13:58h, compared to the Samsung Galaxy S24+'s 12:30h. This nearly 90-minute difference is significant. However, the S24+ compensates with faster charging: 45W wired (65% in 30 minutes) versus the Find X8’s 80W wired, PD 55W, UFCS. The Find X8 also supports 50W wireless charging, significantly faster than the S24+'s 15W Qi wireless charging. The Find X8’s 10W reverse wireless charging is also superior to the S24+'s 4.5W. While the S24+’s battery capacity isn’t specified, the longer active use time of the Find X8 suggests a more efficient combination of battery size and power management.

Buying Guide

Buy the Oppo Find X8 if you need maximum CPU performance for demanding tasks like video editing or emulation, and value the fastest charging speeds available. You're willing to potentially navigate a less-established software ecosystem for cutting-edge hardware. Buy the Samsung Galaxy S24+ if you prefer a refined, feature-rich experience with a proven track record, excellent camera capabilities, and the broader ecosystem benefits of the Samsung brand. You prioritize stability and long-term software support.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Does the Exynos 2400 chip in the international Galaxy S24+ overheat during prolonged gaming sessions?
The Exynos 2400 has historically been prone to thermal throttling under sustained load. While Samsung has made improvements, it's likely to run warmer and potentially exhibit more performance drops than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variant, especially in demanding games. The Oppo Find X8's Dimensity 9400, built on a 3nm process, *should* offer better thermal efficiency, but real-world testing is needed to confirm.
❓ How does the 80W charging on the Oppo Find X8 compare to the 45W charging on the Galaxy S24+ in real-world usage?
While the Galaxy S24+ claims 65% charge in 30 minutes with 45W, the Oppo Find X8’s 80W charging will likely deliver a full charge significantly faster. Expect a 0-100% charge in under 30 minutes with the Find X8, potentially closer to 25-28 minutes, while the S24+ will likely take closer to 45-60 minutes for a full charge. This difference is substantial for users who frequently need to top up their battery quickly.
❓ Is the Mediatek Dimensity 9400's CPU architecture a significant upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's Cortex-X4?
The Dimensity 9400's inclusion of the Cortex-X925 core is a key differentiator. This core is a newer design than the X4, potentially offering improved single-threaded performance and efficiency. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 benefits from Qualcomm's extensive optimization and software integration. The real-world impact will depend on how well Oppo optimizes the Dimensity 9400 for its software.
