OPPO Find X8 Series Leaked: Straight Screen Design, Powerful Performance, Hasselblad Imaging Enhancement, Can It Shake Up the Smartphone Market?

Recently, leaked design sketches of the OPPO Find X8 series have surfaced online, reigniting the enthusiasm of tech enthusiasts and consumers, pushing expectations for this new phone to new heights. Previously, there have been rumors suggesting that the OPPO Find X8 series will be released ahead of the market this year, even launching before other new phones equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This move not only creates a sense of choice for consumers in advance but also allows competitors to reference its pricing strategy when releasing their new phones. So, what surprises are in store for us in the OPPO Find X8 series? Let's delve into the leaked sketches and parameter information to see.

Design: Straight Screen Returns, Style Tweaked

From the leaked design sketches, the OPPO Find X8 series retains the centered punch-hole design for the front camera, but the screen design switches from the curved display of its predecessor to a straight screen, theoretically reducing the likelihood of accidental touches while holding the phone. At the same time, the application of extremely narrow bezels is expected to further increase the screen-to-body ratio.

Although the area occupied by the rear camera module remains relatively large, the overall layout appears more compact and harmonious, showcasing OPPO's unique understanding of design aesthetics. The arrangement of the four cameras ensures functionality while maintaining aesthetics, and the Hasselblad logo is also printed in the center of the module. These can be considered some of the common design elements used in OPPO phones, but this time, there seems to be an absence of the two-tone color scheme, with the overall design being slightly adjusted. Notably, the position of the flash remains in the upper left corner of the camera module, carrying over the design style of the OPPO Find X7 series.

Some users believe that OPPO's innovations in design have not been particularly significant in recent years, and the resulting design feel lacks a sense of surprise. However, the leaked information is only based on sketches, and it is hoped that OPPO's refinements will bring about further upgrades and changes in the actual product. At least, there should be no pressure in terms of polishing the phone's color scheme, material, and edge feel; otherwise, it would be difficult to establish a foothold in the flagship market.

Performance Upgrade: Powered by the Dimensity 9400, Enhanced Imaging Experience

Beyond the exterior renderings, the surrounding parameters of the OPPO Find X8 series have become quite clear. The standard and Pro versions are the first to be unveiled, both equipped with the Dimensity 9400 processor. This chip utilizes the Cortex-X925 super-core, delivering a 36% performance boost compared to the previous generation Cortex-X4, and a 41% improvement in AI performance. At the same time, it comes with the Immortalis-G925 GPU, offering a 37% performance improvement over the G720, a 30% reduction in power consumption, a 52% boost in ray-tracing performance, and a 34% increase in AI performance, with a maximum of 14 cores. Coupled with the addition of LPDDR5X and USF4.0, as well as a starting memory configuration of 12GB+256GB, this presents an undeniable allure for performance enthusiasts.

The imaging aspect is another major highlight of the OPPO Find X8 series. The OPPO Find X8 boasts a 50MP large-sensor triple-camera setup on the rear, including a 3X medium-sensor periscope lens, and continues to utilize Hasselblad's Master Imaging Style. Specifically, the main camera of the OPPO Find X8 is 50MP 1/1.4", while the OPPO Find X8 Pro adopts a quad-camera dual-periscope configuration, featuring a 50MP 1/1.4" main camera and a new periscope lens using the IMX88 sensor. The OPPO Find X8 Ultra is expected to come with a quad-camera dual-periscope telephoto setup, all four lenses sporting 50MP resolution, and the new super telephoto lens might upgrade to a medium-sensor solution, abandoning the IMX858 sensor. With the added endorsement of Hasselblad imaging certification, the OPPO Find X8 series promises a powerful photographic experience, making it highly anticipated.

Screen Upgrade: Straight Screen Predominant, Ultrasonic Fingerprint Unlock

In terms of surrounding parameters, the OPPO Find X8 will be equipped with a 1.5K resolution OLED straight screen, rumored to have a size of 6.5 inches. The OPPO Find X8 Pro, on the other hand, will feature a 1.5K resolution large-size in-depth subtly curved straight screen, adding support for ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking on top of the standard version's features. The standard version will have a battery capacity of no less than 5500mAh, supporting 100W fast charging; while the Pro version is expected to incorporate a 6000mAh battery capacity and come standard with Glacier Battery. Additionally, the OPPO Find X8 series will support full-function NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, X-axis linear motor, and other practical functionalities, and will be powered by the ColorOS 15 system.

Overall, the surrounding parameters of the OPPO Find X8 series are quite impressive, and combined with the leaked design sketches, this new phone has the potential to stir up the smartphone market. What are your expectations for the OPPO Find X8 series? Share your thoughts in the comments!
