Oppo

Oppo launched both its Find X8 and Find X8 Pro in India last year after a four-year gap. We loved the Find X8 because of its slim and lightweight design, as well as the fact that it offered good value. In our review, we were not happy with the Find X8 Pro's cameras because they provided inconsistent quality. The Chinese smartphone brand had armed its flagship to the teeth, with four user-accessible rear-facing cameras, two of which were periscope telephoto cameras (3X and 6X zoom). And with this, we had a phone with ‘Ultra'-level camera capability, that somehow failed to deliver.

Smartphones, which were once considered delicate gadgets that needed to be handled with extreme care, have become increasingly focused on durability over the last few years. The most premium handsets today come with up to an IP69+ rating, which protects them against high-pressure water jets, although we can't fathom a situation where this might even be possible. Indeed, durability appears to be a growing concern among consumers.
