OPPO Find X8 Series Makes a Comeback: Fierce Competition in the Chinese Flagship Smartphone Market

Since last week, numerous newly released flagship phones have officially entered the regular sales period, marking the true beginning of market competition. How have the models that entered the regular sales period earlier performed? On November 16th, industry insider "Wisdom Chip Insider" released sales comparison data for the new flagship models from vivo and OPPO, sparking widespread attention.

This data includes three models from the vivo X90 series, one model from iQOO 11, two models from the OPPO Find X8 series, one model from OnePlus 11, and one model from realme GT7 Pro. It's noteworthy that both vivo and OPPO include four models in the comparison.

According to the data provided by "Wisdom Chip Insider," the vivo X90 series launched a week earlier than the OPPO Find X8 series; however, the overall sales of the vivo X90 series were only 24% higher than those of the OPPO Find X8 series. It's important to highlight that the vivo X90 series has three models, while the OPPO Find X8 series has only two.

Including sub-brand models changes the picture. The data shows that OnePlus 11 sales have already surpassed those of iQOO 11. Adding the sales of realme GT7 Pro, the combined sales of OPPO's sub-brand models (OnePlus 11 + realme GT7 Pro) are 22% higher than iQOO 11.

Overall, the total sales of vivo and OPPO are comparable. Specifically, vivo's main brand sales are slightly higher than OPPO's, but this needs to be considered in light of vivo's one-week head start and three models. In terms of sub-brands, OPPO holds the advantage, which is related to OPPO having two sub-brand models while vivo only has one. Surprisingly, OnePlus 11 sales alone have exceeded those of iQOO 11.

"Wisdom Chip Insider" stated in the report that sales of OPPO's flagship phones are recovering, with the OPPO Find X8 series performing particularly well. This is a positive sign for OPPO, as in previous generations, its flagship models underperformed compared to those from vivo, Honor, and Xiaomi. The resurgence of OPPO's flagship sales is good news not only for OPPO but also for the market and consumers. After all, everyone hopes to see more Chinese flagship phone brands emerge to collectively challenge Apple's iPhone.

This year, except for Huawei, the other four major Chinese smartphone brands (vivo, OPPO, Xiaomi, and Honor) have all released flagship models, aiming squarely at the iPhone 16 series. The final outcome remains unknown, but it's certain that the overall sales of Chinese flagship phones are steadily increasing.

This sales comparison data provides an important reference for analyzing the current competitive landscape of the Chinese flagship smartphone market. The vivo X90 series, with its earlier launch and greater number of models, slightly outperformed in total sales, demonstrating its strong brand influence and market appeal. However, the performance of the OPPO Find X8 series is also surprising; its sales are not far behind the vivo X90 series, and it has surpassed vivo in terms of sub-brand sales, proving OPPO's significant progress in product development and market strategy.

The impressive performance of OnePlus 11 also deserves attention. As a sub-brand of OPPO, OnePlus 11's ability to surpass iQOO 11 in sales demonstrates its unique brand positioning and product competitiveness, contributing significantly to OPPO's market share. The addition of realme GT7 Pro further strengthens OPPO's advantage in sub-brand competition.

Overall, the flagship phone sales of vivo and OPPO are neck and neck, showing a competitive chase. This competition not only drives progress in Chinese mobile phone technology but also provides consumers with more and better choices. The differences in strategies between the two camps in terms of main brands and sub-brands are also worth in-depth study and discussion by industry insiders.

The clustered release of Chinese flagship phones this year and their direct challenge to the iPhone 16 series mark the determination and confidence of Chinese mobile phone brands in competing in the high-end market. While the final market share distribution still needs time to be verified, the overall upward trend in sales of Chinese flagship phones is undoubtedly encouraging. This also marks the rise of Chinese mobile phone brands in high-end market competition. Future competition between Chinese mobile phones and Apple iPhones will be more intense and exciting.

This data also reflects the growing consumer acceptance of Chinese flagship phones. As Chinese mobile phone brands continue to improve in technological innovation and product experience, more consumers are expected to choose Chinese flagship phones in the future. This will also enhance the competitiveness of Chinese mobile phone brands in the global market, contributing to the development of China's technology industry. The success of the OPPO Find X8 series may just be a microcosm of the rise of Chinese mobile phone brands. In the future, more Chinese flagship phone brands will emerge, bringing more surprises to consumers. The competition in the high-end market for Chinese mobile phone brands will become even more exciting.

The data released by "Wisdom Chip Insider," while partial, provides an important reference for understanding the current competitive landscape of the Chinese flagship smartphone market. We will continue to monitor the dynamics of the Chinese mobile phone market and bring readers more exciting reports in the future.
