The Return of the Compact Flagship! OPPO Find X8 mini is Coming Soon, Potentially a Steal

In recent years, the smartphone market has gradually shifted back towards smaller, straight-screened devices, leading many consumers to eagerly anticipate the return of compact flagship phones. According to the latest news, OPPO is about to unveil a compact flagship named Find X8 mini, aiming to satisfy users' desire for smaller phones.

Find X8 mini: A Combination of Performance and Beauty

Based on current leaks, Find X8 mini will be positioned as a "true compact flagship." Its screen size is expected to be smaller than the 6.59-inch display of the standard Find X8. Despite the smaller screen, Find X8 mini will boast an exceptional display with 120Hz variable refresh rate, low-blue light protection, and other features, carrying forward the excellent screen experience of the Find X8 series.

In terms of performance, Find X8 mini is expected to be powered by the same flagship chip as the entire Find X8 lineup, the Dimensity 9400, coupled with a Sky Cooling system for smooth and stable operation even when running demanding games and applications. The Dimensity 9400 utilizes TSMC's 3nm manufacturing process, bringing a nearly 20% performance increase in ray tracing compared to its predecessor, a 40% boost in NPU computing power, over 30% enhancement in CPU single-core performance, and a 25% reduction in power consumption, delivering an unparalleled performance experience for users.

In terms of battery life, Find X8 mini is anticipated to equip a battery capacity similar to the Find X8 Pro, supporting 100-watt wired fast charging and wireless fast charging, ensuring users can use their device for extended periods without worrying about power.

ColorOS 15: A Smoother Experience

Find X8 mini will feature the latest ColorOS 15 operating system, bringing a host of new features and optimizations. Among them, Fluid Cloud adopts a "Dynamic Island" design, adding layered depth wallpapers and a split control center to enhance system aesthetics and operational convenience. Additionally, ColorOS 15 has been adapted for Apple Music and Podcast apps, supporting the transfer of images, videos, and documents between iPhones, further enhancing cross-platform interoperability.

Meanwhile, ColorOS 15 has upgraded the mini-window feature, introducing new gestures, banner notification pull-down quick reply, dual-window suspension, and other features to improve multi-tasking efficiency. Furthermore, Find X8 mini will support a "one-tap ask screen" function; simply long-press the power button to activate OPPO AI, providing convenient smart services for users.

Abundant Features, Comprehensive Upgrading

Besides the aforementioned highlights, Find X8 mini will inherit numerous outstanding features from the Find X8 series, such as all-focal-length Dolby Vision video recording, solid-state capture quick-start buttons, OTG, Mountain Sea Communication, Off-Grid Communication, Satellite Communication, and more, comprehensively enhancing user experience.

Price Estimation: The High Cost of a Compact Flagship

It's worth noting that this year's flagship new phones have generally seen a price increase. The starting price for Find X8 is 4199 yuan, while Find X8 Pro starts at 5299 yuan. Other similar compact flagship phones, such as Xiaomi 15 and vivo X200 Pro mini, have also been priced above 4000 yuan. Therefore, Find X8 mini's final price is expected to be no less than this price range.

Conclusion: Anticipation for a Compact Flagship

Overall, Find X8 mini will be OPPO's first truly compact flagship, fulfilling user demand for smaller phones and achieving comprehensive upgrades in performance, battery life, interaction, and features. For those who love OPPO but haven't purchased Find X8 or Pro versions, Find X8 mini is worth looking forward to. Its final price and specific configuration information will require official confirmation from OPPO.
