Oppo Find X8, Vivo X200, Xiaomi 15 Launching in October: Key Details
Several reports suggest Qualcomm will introduce the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip in October this year. MediaTek might also announce its flagship Dimensity 9400 in the same timeframe. A recent Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station provides insights into the first phones featuring these new chipsets, expected to debut in October.
Oppo Find X8, Vivo X200, Xiaomi 15 Launch Rumors
According to Digital Chat Station, several flagship smartphones are slated for an October launch, equipped with next-gen chipsets and 1.5K resolution displays. The tipster noted that these phones will not be excessively large, implying he may be referring to the standard models rather than the "Pro" variants of upcoming flagship series from different brands.
Two of these devices are expected to feature the Dimensity 9400 chipset, while one will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Emojis in the post hint that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 device could be the Xiaomi 15. Additionally, other emojis indicate that the Vivo X200 and Oppo Find X8, both sporting the Dimensity 9400, are also set for an October release. The leak also mentions that the Vivo X200 and Oppo Find X8 will include a periscope telephoto camera, which will be absent on the Xiaomi 15.
Upcoming Flagship Variants
The Xiaomi 15 might be launched alongside a larger Xiaomi 15 Pro, which will also be powered by the SD8G4 chip. Similarly, the X200 Pro with the D9400 SoC could debut together with the X200.
It remains unclear whether the Find X8 Ultra will also be released in October. There is speculation that the Ultra variant, which will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset and satellite connectivity support, may be unveiled by early 2025 in China.
Additional Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Devices
Moreover, reports suggest that other Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 devices, such as the OnePlus 13 Pro, iQOO 13 series, Redmi K80 Pro, and Realme GT 6 Pro, are currently in development. These devices are anticipated to launch before the end of 2024.

Rumor: Oppo Find X8 Ultra to Release Separately with Extra Model
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.

Oppo and Vivo to Forego Flip Phones in 2022, Tease Innovations

A Pause in Flip Phones
Insider Digital Chat Station (DCS) hinted in a Weibo post that these major brands won’t be refreshing their clamshell foldables this year, although specific names were not disclosed.
Shift in Strategy
While Samsung gears up for the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Motorola plans its flip phone release, Oppo and Vivo seem to be stepping back. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously mentioned that these brands could halt the development of new flip phones for the Chinese market in 2024 due to slower sales.
Future Innovations
DCS hinted at a possible new direction for Oppo and Vivo in 2025, suggesting the launch of a novel foldable phone design. The specifics remain vague, but it could involve unconventional folding methods like a Z-shaped fold or a rollable display.
Emerging Trends
While Samsung and Huawei have been linked to Z-style foldables, the concept of rollable phones is gaining traction. Reports even speculated that Vivo might beat Samsung to the market with a rollable phone, though no recent developments have been disclosed.
