OPPO FindX8 Real Device Leaked, Apple-like Design, Can It Turn the Tide?

Signs point to the OPPO FindX8 series speeding up, and this acceleration has been going on for quite a while. Industry information shows that production scheduling for the OPPO FindX8 series has begun, and unexpectedly, real devices have been leaked ahead of time. From the leaked images, it can be seen that the OPPO FindX8 features a right-angle frame design, a pure straight screen on the front, a hidden camera area (likely circular), and a three-section physical button. For those familiar with the industry, this physical button design is similar to what OnePlus has implemented, making it very convenient. The leaked device looks quite thin overall, but the exact thickness and weight are unknown. This should be the new device built on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400, with a screen size of around 6.5 inches.

Regarding the real device leaks, the well-known tipster "Digital Chat Station" bluntly stated: "The OPPO FindX8, with ColorOS 15, will give you a strong 'Apple' vibe." In other words, the design and user experience of the OPPO FindX8 are very similar to the iPhone 15 series or iPhone 16 series. Both have right-angle frames, pure straight screens, and physical buttons, the only difference being the camera design. In terms of experience, he interacted with netizens saying that the front has a centered punch-hole + centered fluid cloud. This "fluid cloud" is likely an experience similar to the "Dynamic Island" on the iPhone 15 series, which is why he called the OPPO FindX8 "Apple-like."

It seems that OPPO is determined to go down the Apple-like path this time, otherwise, they wouldn't have created a device like this. Ultimately, it all comes down to real user feedback. If it gains recognition from both the industry and consumers, who cares if it's "Apple-like"? In reality, OPPO is likely holding its breath. After all, in the past two years, the OPPO Find series has lagged behind competitors in terms of sales and reputation compared to similarly priced models. Especially this year, OPPO's first-half sales have declined year-on-year, a concerning trend considering the positive growth in the overall smartphone market.

Therefore, OPPO needs to change its gameplay, with the FindX8 series being the first step. We'll have to wait until October to see if this time it can win over the market.
