Oppo has hinted at the design of its new flagship smartphone, the Find X8. This upcoming device will showcase a symmetrical, square design with slim bezels on all sides. This design choice is in line with the trend of smartphones moving towards more rectangular forms.
First Look at the Oppo Find X8
The Find X8 will feature a centered punch-hole display for its front camera. With the introduction of ColorOS 15, the device will also have on-screen controls for the flashlight and camera located at the bottom of the lock screen. However, the combination of the new software and the square design makes the device resemble the base model iPhones, particularly the iPhone 15. It can be described as an "iPhone without the Dynamic Island."
Performance Expectations
On the performance front, the Find X8 is set to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset, which is expected to deliver remarkable performance and energy efficiency. The smartphone will also come equipped with a high-resolution display and a capable camera system.
Oppo has shared several important details regarding the Find X8. The phone is expected to be lighter, thinner, and smaller than its predecessor, while still housing a larger battery and a more compact camera bump. The company has also indicated that the weight of the device will be under 200 grams.
Series Variants
The Find X8 series is anticipated to feature both a standard edition and a Pro model. The standard version will likely have a smaller display and a triple camera system, which includes a single periscope lens. Conversely, the Pro model is expected to come with a larger display and a quad camera arrangement featuring dual periscope lenses.
Despite the promising features of the Find X8 series, there are some concerns regarding its performance. Recent benchmark tests suggest that the Dimensity 9400 chipset might not match the power of some competing processors. Nevertheless, the Find X8 Pro is expected to offer a strong set of features, including 16 GB of RAM, Android 15, and a 50 MP main camera.
The Oppo Find X8 series is expected to be launched around mid-October, likely on October 21 in China. It is also projected to be available in global markets, including India.
