OPPO Find X8s+: Can the Strongest Dimensity Straight-Screen Flagship Break Through?

The smartphone market is becoming increasingly competitive, with manufacturers vying for user attention through technological innovation and precise positioning. OPPO's upcoming Find X8 series flagship phones, including the Find X8s, Find X8s+, and Find X8 Ultra, perfectly exemplify this intense market competition. The Find X8s+, positioned as the "strongest Dimensity straight-screen flagship," may have garnered relatively less pre-release attention, but its powerful capabilities are enough to generate significant expectation. For consumers still on the fence, this new phone undoubtedly raises their anticipation; however, whether it can successfully break through in this fiercely competitive market remains unknown.

OPPO Find series product manager, Zhou Yi Bao, sheds light on the Find X8s+'s numerous highlights. The Find X8s+ not only boasts MediaTek's latest flagship chip, the Dimensity 9400+, but also features seven core upgrades across battery life, imaging, and user experience, aiming to deliver a comprehensive improvement for users.

First, the Find X8s+ achieves a significant upgrade in core configuration. As the world's first straight-screen flagship phone equipped with the Dimensity 9400+ processor, its performance upgrade is nothing short of radical. The Dimensity 9400+ utilizes TSMC's second-generation 3nm process, features an upgraded Cortex-X5 super core CPU architecture, and is equipped with the new generation Mali-G9 GPU. Compared to its predecessor, the Dimensity 9400, its overall performance has improved by approximately 15%, while its AI computing power has doubled. Paired with 12GB+256GB storage, LPDDR5X, and UFS 4.0, the Find X8s+ boasts outstanding hardware specifications, providing a solid foundation for smooth operation and powerful processing capabilities.

Notably, the Find X8s+ achieves a significant improvement in battery life. The battery capacity has jumped from 5630mAh in the standard Find X8 to 6000mAh. Coupled with the deep optimization of ColorOS 15, it is expected to be one of the longest-lasting models in its class. The inclusion of a large-capacity battery effectively addresses users' core concerns about battery anxiety. Combined with OPPO's self-developed SuperVOOC super flash charging technology, the synergy between the large battery and fast charging further reduces charging time, creating a "seamless" user experience, allowing users to use their phones with greater peace of mind. From its core hardware configuration alone, the Find X8s+'s competitiveness is undeniable.

However, the Find X8s+'s advantages are not limited to hardware. In terms of design, the Find X8s+ makes bold innovations. The newly added "Wind Whisper Purple" colorway uses a multi-layer coating process and matte texture treatment, retaining the romantic atmosphere of purple while presenting a unique technological feel through light and shadow changes, offering users a more fashionable choice.

In terms of user experience, the Find X8s+ upgrades the traditional three-stage silent switch to a "customizable physical button." Users can set it as a camera shortcut, voice assistant wake-up button, or a one-touch launch entry for specific apps, improving the convenience of using the phone.

Regarding imaging capabilities, although the Find X8s+ hasn't significantly changed sensor specifications in terms of hardware, it achieves an enhanced experience through algorithm optimization. Features such as "enhanced image capture experience," "night portrait mode," and "AI inspired composition" all signify a significant improvement in its photography capabilities, delivering a higher-quality imaging experience for users.

The newly-installed ColorOS 15 not only provides smoother animations and lower power consumption but also introduces multiple cross-device interconnectivity functions. The "remote control PC" function allows users to directly operate their PC via their phone, while the built-in new translation app supports real-time voice transcription and multilingual translation, significantly improving user work efficiency and communication convenience. Furthermore, the Find X8s+ supports full-function NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, and an X-axis linear motor, further enhancing the phone's functionality.

In summary, the Find X8s+ demonstrates its powerful capabilities in many aspects. If priced reasonably, this phone is highly likely to achieve market success and even generate significant buzz.

However, it's worth noting that despite the Find X8s+'s significant technological advancements, its market hype is slightly lower than the Find X8 Ultra. This contrast is due to the inherent higher level of attention users give to "Ultra" models. Furthermore, the Find X8, with its focus on a smaller screen design and improvements in appearance and battery life, also boasts considerable anticipation.

The simultaneous launch of the three Find X8 series models provides consumers with more choices. Since the three models differ in target users and product positioning, consumers can choose the model best suited to their needs. This strategy also avoids consumer indecision.

At the April 10th launch event, in addition to the Find X8 series, the unveiling of ecosystem products such as the OPPO Watch X2 Mini smartwatch and Pad 4 Pro tablet further showcases OPPO's ambition for a "full-scene smart life" and foreshadows its strategic layout in future market competition.

Ultimately, whether the OPPO Find X8s+ will successfully break through remains to be seen. However, based on its powerful capabilities, this phone undoubtedly possesses the potential to challenge the market and win over users. Its success will depend not only on its own product strength but also on the market competitive landscape and user needs. Let's wait and see if this "strongest Dimensity straight-screen flagship" can stand out in the fierce market competition.
