  • Vivo X200 and X200 Ultra May Beat Rivals with New Pricing

    Vivo X200 and X200 Ultra May Beat Rivals with New Pricing

    The Vivo X200 series is just about a week away from its official launch, and new leaks suggest that the pricing might be more appealing than earlier thought. According to Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo, the prices for the X200, X200 Pro, and X200 Pro Mini could start at around 4,000 yuan (approximately $570), which is lower than what was previously expected. This possible reduction in price seems to be influenced by company executives thinking about the global demand from consumers.

    Competition in the Market

    Although specific details remain unclear, these new price points would position the X200 series to compete directly with Oppo’s upcoming Find X8. Previous reports have highlighted Vivo’s advanced camera features, particularly the use of Zeiss optics and the IMX882 sensor, which may enhance its telephoto performance. Additionally, a recent official teaser image revealed the phone’s ‘ultra-narrow bezels’. The combination of impressive hardware and tempting prices could allow Vivo to establish a strong presence in the market, particularly in areas where high prices have made it hard for buyers to purchase premium devices.

    Key Specifications

    The X200 is anticipated to come equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. DCS has also suggested that the more advanced model, likely called the X200 Ultra, might begin at about 5,500 yuan (around $770), which would raise the pricing tier even higher. Even with these pricing challenges, Vivo’s strategy clearly shows a desire to compete directly with its sibling brand, Oppo, which is also aiming to blend top-notch features with attractive prices in the upcoming Find X8. More details about the Vivo X200 series will be shared on October 14 when the devices are officially revealed.

  • OPPO Find X8 and X8 Pro Leak with International Model Numbers

    OPPO Find X8 and X8 Pro Leak with International Model Numbers

    The OPPO Find X7 is currently only sold through re-sellers like TradingShenzhen outside of China. However, its new version is expected to have a better chance of being available through official channels due to recent leaks about the series.

    New Models Expected

    The upcoming X8 and X8 Pro are thought to be released as the PKB110 and PKC110 in China, while they will be known as CPH2651 and CPH2659 in other parts of the world, as reported by TheTechOutlook. The blog has found these devices listed under those convincing "global OPPO" identifiers in Indonesia’s official SDPPI database.

    Global Launch Anticipated

    Moreover, the same model numbers have also shown up on India’s BIS database, indicating that both the X8 and the Pro version will likely launch in these countries after their anticipated release in China. Thus, it appears that the regular and Pro X8 models are set to mark the series’ return to the global market in 2024, even though both are said to use MediaTek’s interesting Dimensity 9400 SoC instead of Qualcomm’s chip.

    Features and Design

    It seems they will probably launch without the Pro’s Satellite Communications Edition. Nevertheless, the standard X8 will stand out by resembling the Android version of the iPhone 16 Pro, featuring narrower bezels and improved versions of MagSafe. Additionally, it will boast IP68-69 ratings that are typically found in more rugged smartphones, according to OPPO’s Zhou Xibao.

    Oppo Find X8 Triple Camera Rear Design Leaked Again

    As the launch of the Oppo Find X8 approaches this month, new leaks from Weibo have emerged, offering insights into the device’s design, especially its updated rear camera module. A leaked image showcases a Bluish Silver color option, highlighting a circular rear camera arrangement with three sensors. Earlier, the device was also seen in a Black color variant.

    Rear Design Details

    The back of the Find X8 appears quite similar to the OnePlus Open and the Oppo Find N3, featuring an "H" branding in the center of the camera module. This design element confirms Oppo’s continuing partnership with Hasselblad, indicating that the camera’s software and color accuracy are likely to benefit from this collaboration.

    Front Design and User Interface

    Oppo officials have previously revealed the front design of the Find X8, which bears a strong resemblance to the base model iPhones. There have even been comparisons made between the two designs. Furthermore, the forthcoming ColorOS 15 is expected to include a camera and flash button layout akin to iOS, enhancing the similarity.

    Performance and Specifications

    On the performance front, the Oppo Find X8 is anticipated to be powered by MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9400 chipset, which has shown impressive results in early Geekbench tests. The Pro variant, equipped with the same chipset, has performed exceptionally well on AnTuTu benchmarks. This chipset is poised to deliver strong performance in both single-core and multi-core operations. As for photography, the device is likely to feature a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 3x periscope zoom lens.

    The Oppo Find X8 is also expected to sport a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a dynamic refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120Hz for enhanced visual experience. The standard model is likely to include a 5,600mAh battery with 100W wired charging, while the Pro version may offer a slightly larger 5,800mAh battery with 50W wireless charging.

    Both models are expected to come with an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. Recent leaks suggest that the Find X8 series will also be available in global markets, including India.

  • Samsung Galaxy S26 Might Be Canceled, Leak Reveals

    Samsung Galaxy S26 Might Be Canceled, Leak Reveals

    Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series is still months away, yet rumors about its successor, the Galaxy S26 series, are already emerging, with the launch not scheduled until 2026. New speculation has surfaced regarding significant changes to Samsung’s Galaxy S series of smartphones.

    Potential Cancellation of Galaxy S26

    A post on X by Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) suggests that Samsung might eliminate the standard Galaxy S26 model from the upcoming series. This potential decision arises from Samsung’s challenges in competing against compact flagship models from competitors like Oppo and other Chinese brands.

    He pointed to the upcoming Oppo Find X8 as an example of a small but powerful flagship that could challenge Samsung’s Galaxy S25. Another competitor, Xiaomi, has compact and robust flagships, such as the Xiaomi 14, which is currently priced at €699 on Amazon.de, outperforming the Galaxy S24, available on Amazon for $720, in several areas. The Xiaomi 15 is expected to continue this trend of success.

    Samsung’s Competitive Landscape

    Ice Universe emphasized in his post that Samsung may find it difficult to compete with rival compact Chinese smartphones, which could lead to the cancellation of the standard Galaxy S26 model.

    While this information should be approached with caution due to the lack of supporting evidence, Samsung does have one advantage: availability. Although rival devices often appear superior on paper, many are restricted to specific markets, while Samsung’s products enjoy a broader distribution. Therefore, unless competitors decide to increase their market reach, Samsung risks losing potential profits by discontinuing the compact model.

    Ice Universe shared this insight on X.

Leaked details indicate that both phones may feature up to 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage in international markets.

    Expected Features of Oppo Find X8 Series

    The Find X8 is anticipated to be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, which has shown impressive performance on Geekbench, both in single-core and multi-core tests. According to a recent report, the Find X8 will include a 5,700mAh battery that supports wireless charging, while the X8 Pro is rumored to come with a slightly larger 5,800mAh battery and 50W wireless charging capability.

  • Oppo Unveils Magnetic Wireless Charging for Find X8 and Find N5

    Oppo Unveils Magnetic Wireless Charging for Find X8 and Find N5

    Oppo is slowly disclosing information about its upcoming Find X8 smartphone series, which is set to be launched in China on October 21. Today, Oppo’s product manager, Zhou Yibao, shared new details about the Find X8 lineup on his Weibo account. He also released a video showcasing the magnetic wireless accessories that will be introduced alongside the Find X8 series.

    New Magnetic Wireless Charging Accessories

    Yibao mentioned that the Find X8 series will support 50W wireless charging for all models and will include reverse charging features. He noted that Oppo plans to launch a variety of magnetic wireless charging accessories, such as ultra-slim magnetic cases, portable magnetic power banks, and 50W magnetic chargers. These accessories will also be compatible with devices from other brands, including iPhones.

    In the video, a Find X8 series phone can be spotted at the 17-second mark. It shows that the X8 will require a special case to enable snap-on magnetic wireless charging.

    The Shift Towards Wireless Charging

    Yibao discussed the significance of wireless charging, explaining that its usage was previously limited, with daily active usage rates dropping below 5%. This was largely due to a lack of practical scenarios. However, the rise of new use cases, particularly in the automotive industry, has changed this landscape.

    Currently, over 50% of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China are equipped with wireless charging pads, and this trend is beginning to extend to traditional fuel-powered vehicles as well. Many owners of older cars are also converting their vehicles to support wireless charging.

    Acknowledging this trend, Oppo intends to make wireless charging a standard feature in all future Find series models, including those in the Find N series. The company is also committed to expanding its wireless charging ecosystem, so stay tuned for more news and updates.

    Upcoming Models and Features

    In addition to the Find X8, X8 Pro, X8 Pro Satellite Communication Version, and Find X8 Ultra, the Oppo Find N5 (known globally as OnePlus Open 2) will also come with wireless charging capabilities. Reports indicate that both the X8 Ultra and the Find N5 / Open 2 are expected to launch in the first quarter of 2025.

    Recently, the Oppo AirVOOC 50W magnetic charger (model number OAAWV08) received approval from Malaysia’s SIRIM authority, hinting that Oppo may roll out its magnetic wireless charging accessories in markets beyond China.

  • Oppo Find X8 Design Revealed: iPhone-Like Without Dynamic Island

    Oppo Find X8 Design Revealed: iPhone-Like Without Dynamic Island

    Oppo has hinted at the design of its new flagship smartphone, the Find X8. This upcoming device will showcase a symmetrical, square design with slim bezels on all sides. This design choice is in line with the trend of smartphones moving towards more rectangular forms.

    First Look at the Oppo Find X8

    The Find X8 will feature a centered punch-hole display for its front camera. With the introduction of ColorOS 15, the device will also have on-screen controls for the flashlight and camera located at the bottom of the lock screen. However, the combination of the new software and the square design makes the device resemble the base model iPhones, particularly the iPhone 15. It can be described as an "iPhone without the Dynamic Island."

    Performance Expectations

    On the performance front, the Find X8 is set to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset, which is expected to deliver remarkable performance and energy efficiency. The smartphone will also come equipped with a high-resolution display and a capable camera system.

    Oppo has shared several important details regarding the Find X8. The phone is expected to be lighter, thinner, and smaller than its predecessor, while still housing a larger battery and a more compact camera bump. The company has also indicated that the weight of the device will be under 200 grams.

    Series Variants

    The Find X8 series is anticipated to feature both a standard edition and a Pro model. The standard version will likely have a smaller display and a triple camera system, which includes a single periscope lens. Conversely, the Pro model is expected to come with a larger display and a quad camera arrangement featuring dual periscope lenses.

    Despite the promising features of the Find X8 series, there are some concerns regarding its performance. Recent benchmark tests suggest that the Dimensity 9400 chipset might not match the power of some competing processors. Nevertheless, the Find X8 Pro is expected to offer a strong set of features, including 16 GB of RAM, Android 15, and a 50 MP main camera.

    The Oppo Find X8 series is expected to be launched around mid-October, likely on October 21 in China. It is also projected to be available in global markets, including India.

  • Oppo Find X8: Lighter Than Expected Features and Specs

    Oppo Find X8: Lighter Than Expected Features and Specs

    Many upcoming flagship phones featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400 will have significantly larger batteries compared to earlier models. While this change suggests better battery life, there are concerns about the overall weight and handling of these new devices.

    Battery Upgrade and Weight Concerns

    The Oppo Find X8 is rumored to come equipped with a 5700 mAh battery, a notable increase from the 5000 mAh battery found in its predecessor. Social media users have expressed worries that the weight of the new model might exceed 200g. Recently, the product manager for the Oppo Find X8 series confirmed through an image that the phone will weigh less than 200 grams, despite having a bigger battery.

    The manager highlighted that the Oppo Find N2 was among the first devices to implement weight reduction techniques. Oppo is reportedly employing similar methods to make the Find X8 series lighter. Although he focused on the base model, it is anticipated that both the Find X8 Pro and Find X8 Ultra will also be lighter than expected.

    Innovative Battery Technology

    So, how is this achieved? Oppo is utilizing high-density silicon anode batteries for the Find X8 series. This technology is similar to what has been used in the production of ultra-thin batteries for devices like the Honor Magic V3. It has been noted that Oppo’s new battery technology provides a higher energy density of 763Wh/L, which is superior to conventional graphite batteries. For context, the Oppo Find X7 weighs 202 g with its 5000 mAh battery.

    Enhanced Performance Expectations

    On the performance front, both the Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro will be powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset, which is set to be officially unveiled on October 9. This chipset is rumored to deliver significantly better graphics performance compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the A18 Pro used in the iPhone 16 Pro models. Therefore, with the larger battery, users can look forward to a notable enhancement in gaming performance when compared to the Oppo Find X7.
