Since entering 2024, OPPO's market reputation has significantly improved, even igniting strong purchase desires among many users for its new devices.
While OPPO's new models in the mid-to-low-end market may lack strong appeal, OnePlus phones have proven their worth, contributing significantly to market share growth.
Moreover, OPPO has accelerated its development pace, particularly for the OPPO Find X8 series, for which numerous details have already been unveiled in the market.
According to leaks, the OPPO Find X8 series adopts a dual-cell battery solution.
Specifically, the OPPO Find X8 comes with a 5600mAh battery, the OPPO Find X8 Pro boasts a 5700mAh battery, and the OPPO Find X8 Ultra pushes the limit with a battery capacity exceeding 6000mAh, ranging from 6100mAh to 6200mAh.
The OPPO Find X8 series employs the latest generation of Glacier Battery, built on silicon-carbon anode battery materials with a silicon content of 6%. It incorporates self-developed high-capacity bionic silicon-carbon materials and industry-leading low-expansion second-generation silicon, enabling a larger battery capacity within the same volume.
Furthermore, the Glacier Battery features upgrades in battery technology and charging algorithms. Its bionic honeycomb structure ensures better stability, while the proprietary silicon-carbon anode battery health algorithm extends battery life.
In terms of imaging, rumors suggest that the standard OPPO Find X8 will continue with a rear triple-camera setup, including a Sony IMX882 telephoto lens and a 50MP 1/1.4-inch sensor for the primary camera. The Pro version may adopt a rear quad-camera setup with dual Sony IMX882 sensors and the same primary camera specifications. The Ultra version is expected to feature a 50MP rear quad-camera array, potentially ditching the previous IMX858 sensor for the super telephoto lens.
Additionally, the OPPO Find X8 series screens are noteworthy. The OPPO Find X8 sports a roughly 6.5-inch 1.5K straight screen, enhancing grip comfort and catering to users' preference for straight screens. This marks the first time OPPO's flagship series adopts a straight screen design, a bold move indeed.
The OPPO Find X8 Pro boasts a 6.78-inch 1.5K equal-depth slightly curved screen, a popular choice among high-end flagships like the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
The OPPO Find X8 Ultra takes it further with a 6.82-inch 2K equal-depth quad-curved screen, offering significantly improved screen fineness for an even more refined visual experience.
Notably, renowned leakers suggest that OPPO's next flagship series, the Find X8, may see a release schedule adjustment, potentially debuting earlier in early Q4 2024. If true, this would mark a two-month delay from the Find X7 series' original timeline.
The standard and Pro versions are expected to launch as early as October, while the Ultra version, focusing on top-tier imaging, may follow suit in Q1 next year.
Mingmei Infinite previously reported that the OPPO Find X8 Ultra, anticipated for next year, is likely to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor.
The OPPO Find X8 Ultra features a quad-camera setup with dual telephoto lenses, all four cameras boasting 50MP resolution.
Moreover, the Ultra version upgrades its super telephoto lens to a mid-sized sensor, abandoning the IMX858 image sensor.
Furthermore, the device's thickness is projected to be under 9.5mm, with a dual-telephoto rear camera design that protrudes less than its predecessor, the Find X7 Ultra. The body primarily features a full-glass design, with the dual-tone and leather options reportedly discontinued.
On the software front, the new ColorOS aims to rival iOS, offering basic features like live photo support and even extending to Airdrop and bidirectional file transfer with iOS, showcasing a determination to attract Apple users.
Incidentally, the Find X8/X8 Pro are expected to sport glass bodies and launch this year in October, likely equipped with 1.5K screens and powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor, competing directly with Xiaomi 15 and vivo X200 series phones.
Positioning-wise, the exposed products seem to target the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 14 market segments, appealing to those who prefer compact, well-rounded straight-screen flagships.
Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 14, due to their unique positioning, stand out in the market with their compact form factors and comprehensive specifications, contributing to impressive sales figures. Early reports indicated that other manufacturers were entering this space as well.
With the current pace, expect numerous similar products to debut by early next year, good news for compact device enthusiasts.
Performance-wise, rumors suggest that the OPPO Find X8 could be the first to adopt the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 platform, tentatively set for a October release, aligning with the OPPO Find X8's expected timeline.
The Dimensity 9400 is rumored to feature a Cortex-X5, Cortex-X4, and Cortex-A7xx architecture, maintaining an all-big-core design.
Powered by Arm v9's new Blackhawk architecture, the Dimensity 9400 significantly boosts the performance of the Cortex-X5 supercore while offering impressive energy efficiency, potentially surpassing Qualcomm offerings.
Lastly, specific configurations and features of the OPPO Find X8 series remain under wraps. However, anticipation runs high as this flagship device promises to be a pivotal representative of OPPO, delivering numerous surprises and innovations.
In conclusion, the OPPO Find X7 series struggled with sales, primarily due to its bulkiness. The OPPO Find X8 series, learning from past mistakes, offers a slimmer and lighter design with significantly enhanced battery life. Retaining the dual-telephoto lens setup ensures continued imaging dominance, making this series highly anticipated.
