OPPO's April Flagship Event: Find X8 Ultra and a New Smart Ecosystem Unveiled

OPPO is set to launch its highly anticipated Find X8 Ultra smartphone alongside a range of new smart IoT products in April. Details surrounding the launch are steadily emerging. OPPO's Smart Ecosystem Product Director, Qiao Jiadong, recently confirmed the April release of the Find X8 Ultra, alongside three new IoT devices: a tablet, smartwatch, and earbuds, signaling a major update to OPPO's flagship "family bucket."

Regarding the upcoming OPPO tablet, the influential tech blogger @DigitalChatStation has revealed that the OPPad 4 Pro will feature a 13.2-inch, 3.4K resolution LCD display with a high refresh rate. It's expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, potentially making it the first flagship large-screen tablet released in April. Given its specifications and anticipated market positioning, a high price point is expected, though the official price remains unannounced. For comparison, the previous generation, the OPPO Pad 3 Pro, launched with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, a 3K display, HiFi eight-speaker audio, and iWork to Office/Office to PDF conversion, starting at 3299.

Meanwhile, OPPO has been actively teasing the Find X8 Ultra. Zhou Yi Bao, the head of the Find series, has confirmed it will boast an "ultra" flagship camera system and an overall "Ultra" experience. Featuring 100W SuperVOOC charging, OPPO claims a full charge (0-100%) in just 35 minutes, highlighting significant advancements in battery technology. Zhou Yi Bao further revealed that the Find X8 Ultra's battery capacity will surpass both the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro (the Find X8 has a 5630mAh battery, while the Find X8 Pro has a 5910mAh battery). He also confirmed a white color option and addressed compatibility issues with Anker's 140W charger on the Find N5, stating that the Find X8 Ultra will support 33W fast charging with this charger. Importantly, IP68 and IP69K water resistance will also be included.

Recently, an OPPO device with model number PKU110 received 3C certification, believed to be a satellite communication version of the Find X8 Ultra, also supporting up to 100W wired fast charging. The Find X8 Ultra will reportedly feature a flat, narrow-bezel display, distinguishing it as the only straight-screened Ultra model in the upcoming Find series. It is expected to have a 2K screen, a thickness under 9mm, an upgraded X-axis motor (custom 0916 version), a chamfered metal frame, and a centrally positioned circular rear camera module, similar in design to the Find X8 Pro.

The imaging system is expected to be a highlight, with a main camera featuring a 1-inch sensor, possibly the Sony IMX900. Two 50MP periscope telephoto lenses, likely the Sony IMX906 and IMX882, are also anticipated, offering 3x and 6x optical zoom, with a maximum sensor size of 1/1.56 inches. The ultrawide-angle lens is also expected to receive upgrades, potentially using the Sony IMX882 sensor, with improvements in hardware and algorithms to enhance distortion correction and video recording capabilities.

While details on the new smartwatch and earbuds remain scarce, OPPOs April event promises a significant update to its product line. The Find X8 Ultra, along with the OPPad 4 Pro tablet, smartwatch, and earbuds, aim to solidify OPPO's position in the high-end market and further enhance its expanding smart ecosystem, providing a more cohesive and user-friendly experience. The Find X8 Ultra's impressive specifications, particularly its improvements in camera, performance, and battery life, make it a compelling flagship contender for the first half of the year. The OPPad 4 Pro's high-end specs signal a more aggressive push into the tablet market, and the new wearables will further enrich OPPOs smart ecosystem. This comprehensive product launch will undoubtedly impact the tech market, and we will continue to monitor and report on further developments.
