Find X7 Ultra Satellite Edition
Oppo introduced the Find X7 Ultra Satellite Edition at the end of March this year. Although, the Find X8 series is already generating buzz. Initially, reports suggested that the Find X8 series (comprising Find X8 and Find X8 Ultra) would be launched by year-end. However, fresh rumors indicate that the series will include a new model, with the Ultra model being released at a later date.
The Find X8 Series to Include Three Models
Digital Chat Station now asserts that the Find X8 series will feature three models. He mentions that the base and the upper models might debut as early as October, while the Ultra model is expected to be launched separately in Q1 2025. The rumor suggests that the series will offer a new design, an upgraded camera system, different battery sizes, and the usual enhancement in fast charging.
So far, it is known that the new series will incorporate upcoming flagship chips from both MediaTek and Qualcomm. However, the specific models for each variant remain unclear. A previous rumor indicated that the Ultra model might be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip.
Release Strategy Similar to Xiaomi's
Adding a new middle model and a staggered release for the Ultra model mirrors Xiaomi’s strategy for its recent flagships, where the Ultra model was launched months after the base and middle variants.
Previous reports also suggest that Oppo aims to directly compete with the forthcoming Xiaomi 15 series with its Find X8 series. The Find X7 series was launched in January this year, while the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro were released in October last year. This could explain why the company is expediting development, as mentioned earlier by DCS, aiming to launch the new series within this year and schedule the Ultra model for early next year.
