EDITORIAL: Motorola has preserved the spirit of innovation and creativity despite transfers to Google (in 2012) and Lenovo (in 2014). Their phones feature solid build with unusual and fun colors, good ingress protection and solid camera tech. The software is a very clean version of Android with useful but minimal additions such as âkarate chopâ move to turn on the main camera. This phone features a very interesting aramid fibre back, plastic frame, full IP68 water resistance with military grade drop protection, up to 5 years of OS updates and desktop replacement software bundled inside fast and feature rich OS.
EDITORIAL: The non-Pro Oppo Find X8 version is a little gem â it includes everything the Pro has except the 2nd periscope tele camera. Because of the screen tech and battery size difference, it scores better in performance and marginally worse in battery life (which will still easily give you a full day). In a paradox, the white versionâs back panel feels like plastic â great feel and solid surface that is very satisfying to touch â may be the best color option of the series!
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
