Yes, the Find X8 Ultra is the series' flagship, but only the Pro is available in Europe, so understandably, Oppo focused on the Dimensity 9400-powered device instead. There was also a big focus on the Oppo AI features. The company set up multiple booths and experience zones where fans could take AI-powered photos with Kaka and Yamine Lamal, both company brand ambassadors. Some fans were also in for a treat, with a surprise appearance from Marco Materazzi, Inter legend and Champions League winner in 2010.
