We have gotten a glimpse of several flagship models for 2024, such as the vivo X200 Pro, Find X8 Pro, Xiaomi 15, and Xiaomi 15 Pro. Xiaomi has kept its base model small, while Vivo has introduced a Pro mini version. However, Oppo's flagship lineup for 2024 does not currently feature a compact variant.
Compact Choices
The Find X8 offers high-end specifications but might not be attractive to users who favor smaller devices, particularly when other brands are providing more compact options.
Potential New Release
However, this situation might change soon. Trusted source Digital Chat Station has hinted that Oppo may launch a more compact Find X8 model alongside the Find X8 Ultra this coming Spring. This speculation is consistent with earlier clues from another tipster, Smart Pikachu.
Shifting Strategies
Oppo has altered its release strategy for the Find X series multiple times in the past. For example, the Find X2 and X3 series each featured four models, while the Find X5 lineup streamlined it down to three. The Find X6 and X7 series then cut it to just two models, with the introduction of the Find X7 Ultra in January 2024. Notably, the Find X7 series did not include a Pro version, which is likely to make a return in the upcoming Find X8 series.
Sadly, the tipster did not provide any details regarding the specifications of this new device. Vivo’s compact flagship boasts a 6.31″ 1.5K display and weighs 187g. On the other hand, the standard Find X8 features a 6.59″ display and has a 5630mAh battery, supporting 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. The rumored Find X8 mini might come with a slightly smaller battery capacity.
Camera Features
The Find X8 Ultra is said to feature a dual periscope telephoto setup with modified focal lengths and support for 10x hybrid zoom. Although the compact version might not include the dual-telephoto setup, it should still benefit from Oppo's advanced image processing and AI-enhanced camera capabilities.
