Oppo, a leading tech company from China, appears ready to introduce a more extensive range of its flagship Find X8 series next year than what was initially thought. Earlier this month, the Find X8 and X8 Pro were launched featuring the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. However, fresh rumors indicate that two more models may be on the way, expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2025.
New Models on the Horizon
This information comes from tech insider Smart Pikachu, who posted on Weibo hinting that Oppo's Find X8 series might include more than just the anticipated Ultra version. Smart Pikachu mentioned that there are two new smartphones planned for the series, but the specific names for these extra models have not yet been revealed.
A History of Variations
The Find X series has always had a fluctuating number of devices. For example, the Find X2 and X3 series each had four unique models, whereas the Find X5 featured a more simplified trio. The subsequent Find X6 and X7 series were further trimmed down to only two devices each. The first Ultra model is set to launch in January 2024, named the Find X7 Ultra. Notably, the Find X7 series did not include a Pro variant, which has now returned in the current Find X8 series.
Possibility of Compact Models
While the specifics of the new additions to the Find X8 lineup remain unclear, it’s interesting to note that Oppo has previously looked into Lite and Neo versions within this series. Recently, Vivo introduced a Pro Mini model in its X200 series, which raises the possibility that Oppo might also be contemplating a smaller flagship model this year. A rumor from this month even suggests that five major Chinese smartphone manufacturers are considering compact flagship options, with Oppo potentially being one of them.
Oppo is anticipated to unveil the Find X8 Ultra smartphone in Q1 2025. Should Oppo truly be planning to extend its lineup beyond the three known models, we can expect more information about the forthcoming Find X8 devices to emerge in the next months. Keep an eye out for updates as they come in.
