Although most domestic mobile phones do not choose to compete with the iPhone 16 in terms of release timing, leaks will continue to emerge. At present, the top flagship models of several leading domestic manufacturers have gradually surfaced, and their functional configurations have become increasingly clear. To be honest, this method of leaking information is a double-edged sword. While it allows people to learn about new devices in advance, it also reduces the desire to watch product launches later. However, silence is not an option, so it is essential to strike a balance in disclosing information. Today, we have the latest news on OPPO's next-generation top flagship.
Speaking of the OPPO Find series, as OPPO's flagship product, it has amazed the market with classics such as the Find 7 and Find X.
However, in recent years, this series seems to be struggling. After new product launches, prices have repeatedly plummeted, and sales have failed to meet expectations.
But today, there is good news again! The configuration of the OPPO Find X8 series has been fully exposed, bringing many exciting highlights.
First, according to leaks, the OPPO Find X8 is equipped with a 1.5K straight screen, a metal right-angle frame, customizable virtual pressure-sensitive buttons, and the first release of ColorOS 15 system.
The new ColorOS 15 supports live photos and cross-platform file transfer between iOS and Android, which will attract a wave of iPhone users.
It is reported that ColorOS 15 has opened up a new channel between Android and iOS, bringing a new AirDrop function.
AirDrop, known in Chinese as "Air Transmission," is a unique function of Apple's iOS, iPadOS, and macOS systems. It is used to share files between multiple devices. Simply drag the file onto the avatar of a friend using the AirDrop function to initiate one-to-one file transfer.
ColorOS 15's AirDrop also has similar functions, supporting photo and file transfer between OPPO and iOS devices, making it convenient for iPhone users to seamlessly switch to OPPO.
In addition, ColorOS 15 supports live photos, allowing users to post live photos on social platforms such as Xiaohongshu. OPPO's built-in AI portrait optimization algorithm and various atmosphere filters make live photos appear more vivid and lively.
Furthermore, both the OPPO Find X8 and OPPO Find X8 Pro will be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 mobile platform.
The OPPO Find X8 features a 1.5K small-sized straight screen and a rear triple-camera setup with a single periscope lens. The OPPO Find X8 Pro boasts a large-sized 1.5K full-depth curved screen and a rear quad-camera setup with dual periscope lenses. This will be the first dual-periscope Dimensity 9400 flagship in the industry.
As we all know, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra was the first to feature dual periscope telephoto lenses, including a 65mm 3X periscope lens and a portrait close-up periscope lens covering 135mm, providing a 300mm optical quality focal length.
As a result, the Find X7 Ultra fully covers a wide zoom range of 14-300mm, offering a more reasonable focal length transition and smoother zoom shooting experience, as well as more competitive image quality.
This time, the Find X8 Pro inherits the legacy of the Find X7 Ultra, with dual periscope telephoto lenses that are highly competitive in the same price range.
Combined with the latest leaks, this is mainly attributed to the series' addition of an independent camera button, which is expected to provide one-click access to the camera function. This camera button may adopt a capacitive solution similar to the capacitive camera button of the iPhone 16 series, and the button is not raised, meaning it will integrate multi-function interaction and bring more control possibilities.
Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the Dimensity 9400 is the world's first to feature the Arm Cortex-X925 supercore, offering a 36% performance improvement and a 41% AI performance boost over the X4.
Simultaneously, the Dimensity 9400 integrates the new Immortalis-G925 GPU, which boasts a 37% performance increase and a 30% reduction in power consumption compared to the G720, along with a 52% improvement in ray tracing performance.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the entire OPPO Find X8 series will be equipped with Glacier batteries. The standard version boasts a battery capacity of 5600mAh, while the Pro version offers 5900mAh, both supporting 100W wired fast charging.
The Glacier battery was first introduced on the OPPO-owned OnePlus Ace 3 Pro and is based on silicon-carbon anode battery materials with a silicon content of 6%. It is equipped with OPPO's proprietary high-capacity biomimetic silicon-carbon materials and industry-leading low-expansion second-generation silicon, allowing for larger battery capacities in the same volume. The Glacier battery also features upgrades in battery technology and charging algorithms, with a biomimetic honeycomb structural design for better stability and a proprietary silicon-carbon anode battery health algorithm for longer overall battery life.
In addition, it seems that OPPO intends to tackle the issue from both hardware and software angles. Whether this approach will be effective remains to be seen based on actual user experience. Some argue that the OPPO Find X8 imitate iPhone 16 The traces are too obvious . Frankly, I personally do not entirely agree with this assessment. If adding a certain function benefits the user experience, it is natural to draw inspiration from it.
In fact, the iPhone has also borrowed features from Android devices, with dual-SIM dual standby and USB-C charging being prime examples. Therefore, it is not particularly meaningful to dwell on this aspect. It is not entirely clear which aspects of the imaging capabilities have been upgraded, but it is certain that the Find X8 standard edition will use the Dimensity 9400 chip, and its price is likely to exceed 4000 yuan.
Therefore, the expected starting prices are 3999 yuan for the Find X8, 4999 yuan for the Find X8 Pro, and a whopping 6999 yuan for the Find X8 Ultra.
Lastly, there have been rumors that the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro in this series may debut in October this year, while the higher-end Find X8 Ultra may be released in the first quarter of next year. If the current leaks are true, this means that in addition to the usual hardware configuration upgrades, there will undoubtedly be further enhancements in performance, imaging, and other aspects. However, specific details about the new devices in this series await confirmation from subsequent information. Interested friends may wish to continue following the news.
For me personally, the most notable upgrade in the OPPO Find X8 series is the adoption of an equal-depth curved screen, which represents a significant upgrade in terms of user experience compared to dual-curved screens. Furthermore, the prominently featured glass body, unlike the Find X7 Ultra's limited options of leather and glass combinations, is highly anticipated. Which of the above leaks appeal to you?
With such a combination of high configuration and high price, it seems that OPPO is fully committed. But will the Find X8 series help OPPO regain its former glory? Let's wait and see!
