Per the shared images, we can see the Find X8 from the rear, with its giant circular module featuring a triple camera setup, including a periscope lens. Other images from the tipster have also revealed the device from the front, which indicates a near bezel-less screen — also symmetrical, just like the recent iPhone 16 Pro models. It corroborates with the recent teaser image shared by Pete Lau a couple of weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yibao, product manager for OPPO, has shared some more official images of the Find X8, again compared to the latest iPhone 16 Pro series phone.
According to Yibao, the display will be narrow-edged, with all sides in symmetry and a physically equal width. It will also be flat, and the device will be thinner, lighter, and smaller than the previous generation. He also notes that the camera housing will be smaller and protrude less despite featuring the periscope lens.
Other confirmed specs are IP68/69 water and dust resistance, an alert slider, and a decent 5000mAh battery capacity coupled with 50W wireless charging. Yibao showed off the ability to charge the phone using MagSafe-like magnetic charging accessories, stating that the company plans to make wireless charging standard across the Find series. The video posted to the company's Weibo also showcased the same magnetic accessories working on the iPhone.
According to tipster Chun on X, the chipset powering OPPO's flagship phone would be the Dimensity 9400, which is all set to launch soon. The Find X8 series is also set to launch next month. He has further shared that Vivo's X200 series will utilize the same chipset and launch globally in a month or so.
For most regions, these two phone series from OPPO and Vivo will at least have 16GB of RAM and a 512GB storage variant released during the launch.
Won't take too long for folks outside of mainland China to taste Dimensity 9400. Both OPPO and Vivo are scheduled to launch the Find X8 series and X200 series globally in the next month or 2. Both phone series will have at least a beefy 16/512GB storage option for most markets.September 26, 2024
