Details regarding the Oppo Find X8 series are continuously emerging from both official channels and leaks. Recently, Zhou Yibao, the product manager for Oppo's Find series, shared some intriguing information about the Find X8 in a post on Weibo.
Design Enhancements
In his post, Zhou Yibao indicated that the Oppo Find X8 will be lighter, thinner, and more compact compared to its predecessor, the Find X7. Additionally, it will feature a smaller camera bump. For reference, the Find X7 has a 6.78-inch display, weighs 202 grams, and is 9.0 mm thick for the leather-backed versions, while the glass-backed models weigh slightly more at 206 grams but are slimmer at 8.7 mm.
This suggests that the Find X8 could potentially weigh less than 200 grams. It’s also noteworthy that the new model will have a reduced screen size, catering to users who find the Find X7 cumbersome. Reports indicate that the screen size will not exceed 6.6 inches.
Battery Improvements
The most fascinating detail disclosed is that, despite the reductions in weight, size, and thickness, the Find X8 will boast a battery capacity greater than the 5,000mAh found in the Find X7. This increased battery capacity, combined with the smaller screen, could theoretically enhance battery life. However, we will need to wait for a review to confirm these expectations.
Upcoming Launch
Oppo has not yet specified a launch date for the Find X8 series. Nevertheless, with the recent flow of information, it seems that the announcement may be imminent.
