Oppo Find X8 will have an iPhone 16 Camera Control-like shutter button
In This Article
Oppo has revealed that its soon-to-be-unveiled Find X8 flaship phone will arrive with a multifunctional camera shutter button that will sound awfully familiar to iPhone fans.
In a post on Weibo, the Chinese manufacturer detailed the button, which mimics the physical positioning and the functionality of theiPhone 16’s Camera Controlalmost exactly.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is available with a stack of data for £35.99 a month. You’ll also get free Pixel Buds Pro 2 on the house from Google
The video, which has been ripped andposted to YouTube(via9to5Google) shows a button that can be pressed to launch the camera app, pressed again to take a photo, and swiped to zoom in and out on a subject.
It’ll also work underwater, Oppo says, which gets around having to use the touchscreen to open the camera when taking submarinal photos and videos.
Apple hasn’t spoken about the possibility of using the Camera Control button when underwater, and I haven’t tested it on myiPhone 16 Pro Maxeither!
The Oppo Find X8 series is likely to be revealed before the end of the year and could go on sale at the beginning of next year, if precedent established by theFind X7series last year plays out again.
We already know the phone will be the first to pack the brand new flagship-levelMediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip, which is built on TSMC’s 3nm process.
Benchmarking scores show a huge improvement over its predecessor, the 9300. There’s a 35% improvement to single core scores and 28% to multi-core CPU scores. They hit 3055 and 9600 respectively in Geekbench 6.
Considering the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has 2229 single core and 6853 multi core scores in our tests using Geekbench 6, it appears the Find X8 will be an absolute Android powerhouse.
