Oppo recently introduced the Find X7 and Find X7 Ultra in January. Towards the end of March, the company launched a satellite communication edition of the Find X7 Ultra, keeping most specifications unchanged. Despite the Find X7 series being just two months old, news about its successor, the Find X8 series, has already started circulating.
Oppo Find X8 Series Development
It has been suggested by a reliable source, Digital Chat Station, that Oppo is accelerating the development of the Find X8 series. There are indications that the company might unveil the Find X8 lineup in early Q4 of 2024.
Potential Features and Competition
Rumors hint that the Find X8 could feature the upcoming Dimensity flagship processor, while the Ultra model may continue with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, akin to the Find X7 series. The Find X8 Ultra might introduce an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, contrasting with the optical fingerprint scanner that the Find X8 may retain.
Market Competition and Chip Details
If these speculations hold true, the Find X8 series could pose a direct challenge to the Xiaomi 15 series, scheduled for a similar release. Additionally, the OnePlus 13 is expected to hit the market around the same period. Notably, Xiaomi was previously anticipated to unveil the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 model, but with Oppo’s potential early launch timeline for their flagship, the scenario has become uncertain. However, tipster Yogesh Brar mentions that Xiaomi retains the first launch rights for Snapdragon flagship chips.
Upcoming Qualcomm Chip
Qualcomm’s forthcoming flagship chipset will include the company’s self-developed Oryon CPU cores following a 2+6 architecture. While details about the phone and chip remain scarce at this point, further information will be shared as it becomes available.
