Key Takeaways
1. Oppo is launching the compact smartphone Find X8S in 2025, with potential variants like Find X8S Plus.
2. The Find X8S will feature a traditional display size, likely not larger than 6.78 inches.
3. Both X8S models are expected to use the Dimensity 9400+ chip and include high-end features such as a periscope zoom lens and IP68/69 rating.
4. The device will support 80W SuperVOOC wired charging and has appeared in the 3C regulatory database.
5. The Find X8S is expected to be unveiled by April 2025 and will compete with devices like the OnePlus 13T and Samsung Galaxy S25.
Oppo is believed to be leading the charge for compact smartphones in 2025 with a new device dubbed the Find X8S upon its release (since Chinese manufacturers seem to avoid the term Mini). However, it may not be alone in this new sub-series.
Possible Variants
Recent leaks suggest it could also launch as the Find X8S Plus or X8S+, rather than just the ‘standard’ X8S as previously thought. This name hints that it might serve as the ‘old normal’ option compared to its sibling, featuring a display that is more traditional in size, but likely not larger than the existing Find X8 Pro, which measures 6.78 inches.
Specifications
Both versions of the X8S are expected to be powered by the Dimensity 9400+, which is set to be MediaTek’s next high-end SoC and should be launched soon. Regardless of size, the X8S is anticipated to include all the perks of a modern Oppo flagship, such as a periscope zoom lens, an IP68/69 rating, and wireless charging. It will also support the same 80W SuperVOOC wired charging found in the Pro model.
This device is thought to have already appeared in the 3C regulatory database with the model number PKT110, along with the VCB80ACH power brick needed to support that relatively fast charging technology.
Release Timeline
The X8S may be unveiled by April 2025, and it might soon see competition from other devices in its class, like the OnePlus 13T, which will share the same Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC (and battery) as its larger 13 counterpart.
Naturally, both smartphones will have to compete against the established Samsung Galaxy S25 (currently priced at $759.99 on Amazon) and the Xiaomi 15 when they finally hit the shelves.
